ANAHEIM, Calif. — Dan Haren took a one-hitter into the eighth inning before giving up Jim Thome’s 598th career home run, rookie Mark Trumbo had a homer and four RBIs and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Minnesota Twins 7-1 on Thursday night in the rubber game of the three-game series.

Haren (12-6) allowed five hits, struck out six and walked none before Scott Downs pitched the ninth. The three-time All-Star right-hander allowed fewer than three earned runs for the 15th time in 24 starts this season, and is 8-1 in those games.

Thome’s leadoff homer to center field on a 1-2 pitch was the first of four consecutive hits by the Twins, who homered five times in Wednesday night’s 11-4 win. But center fielder Peter Bourjos threw out Danny Valencia at the plate as he tried to score on a single by Tsuyoshi Nishioka. Valencia appeared to have the throw beaten, but Jeff Mathis was able to block him off the plate with his foot.

Francisco Liriano (7-9) gave up seven runs and 10 hits in five innings and struck out five. The left-hander faced a lineup made up of right-handed batters — including switch-hitters Maicer Izturis, Alberto Callaspo and Erick Aybar. Liriano is 5-5 with a 4.37 ERA in 14 starts since his no-hitter against the White Sox on May 3 at Chicago.

Liriano gave up a season-high seven runs for the third time. It was the fourth time in his last eight starts that he failed to reach the sixth inning, and only the fourth time this season the Angels scored more than four runs in support of Haren while he was still in the game.
