    In the back corner of the visiting clubhouse, Vernon Wells sat with his video player for much of Monday afternoon watching video of not what he's been doing wrong with the Los Angeles Angels this season, but what he did right last year in Toronto.

    It's all felt a little off lately for Wells, mired in the worst start of his career.

    "When you're getting pitches middle-in and they are jamming you or getting hanging breaking balls and missing them then something is wrong in there," Wells said. "I just sat in the corner over here and just watched video over and over again and find something that was different."

    Wells made a slight tweak during batting practice, then found the stroke the Angels hope quickly comes around more often.

    Wells hit the Angels' first homer in a week with a solo shot in the third inning, then hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the seventh to give Los Angeles a 6-3 win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night.
