CLEVELAND -- Albert Pujols seemed to reach his boiling point Sunday as the Los Angeles Angels wrapped up a winless road trip.Pujols was ejected by home plate umpire Clint Fagan in the eighth inning after a called third strike, forcing him into the clubhouse for the conclusion of the Cleveland Indians 5-4 victory over the Angels.The loss was the Angels 10th in a row, their worst skid since an 11-gamer in 1999.

The 10-time All-Star was thrown out as he headed back to the dugout, and went 0 for 4.Indians closer Cody Allen struck out Choi to finish the game, leaving star outfielder Mike Trout in the on-deck circle and ending his consecutive games played streak at 178. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons also was given the day off.Angels manager Mike Scioscia defended the decision not to pinch-hit either player against Miller or Allen, who retired all nine batters they faced.If Mike gets a hold of one there with a guy on base, weve got something going, he said. I wanted to give us that chance, but it didnt happen.The Angels have outscored 70-31 during their losing streak.Its not like were trying to go out there and lose, said Weaver, who allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings.
