    Angels manager Mike Scioscia didn't mince words during his closed-door meeting with his top three run producers: Torii Hunter, Bobby Abreu and Vernon Wells. The offense wasn't getting the job done, and they were being held accountable.

    The rest of the Los Angeles hitters must have been listening outside the door of Scioscia's office during the expletive-laced session, because the team responded with a big night at the plate.

    Erick Aybar opened the scoring with a three-run triple, Abreu came home with the go-ahead run on reliever Aaron Crow's second wild pitch of the seventh inning, and the Angels snapped a season-worst six-game losing streak with a 7-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday.
