ANAHEIM, Calif. Jacoby Brissett Jersey . -- Jason Vargas and the Los Angeles Angels infield provided a blueprint on how to win a game efficiently. Vargas pitched a three-hitter for his first victory with his new club, Mark Trumbo and Mike Trout homered and the Angels beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-0 Friday night. Vargas (1-3) threw 107 pitches in his sixth start for the Angels, striking out three and walking two while getting 15 groundball outs. The shutout was the fourth by the left-hander in 136 career starts and his ninth complete game. "I guess I take more satisfaction just in the way we played the game and the way we were able to be so efficient out there without really giving them an opportunity to put together a big inning," Vargas said. "The plays that we made out there early and late really just set us up for success. " Vargas did not allow a hit until J.J. Hardy slapped an opposite-field single to right with two out in the fifth. The left-hander walked his next batter, Steve Pearce, on four pitches before Alexi Casilla grounded out. "It was one of those games where the balls they hit hard happened to go at people," said Vargas, who retired his first four batters on flyballs. "But if you can control the count and control the hitter, youre going to have the upper hand." The Orioles got a runner to third base in the seventh when Adam Jones led off with a double and advanced on a groundout by Ryan Flaherty, who had replaced first baseman Chris Davis in the fifth after the Orioles home run and RBI leader injured his right knee. But Jones was tagged out in a rundown by third baseman Alberto Callaspo, who fielded Hardys grounder as Jones went on contact. Vargas lowered his ERA to 1.63 against the Orioles in seven starts against them, his best against any team. "Hes one of those guys that you know what hes going to do coming in," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "I thought when they made that acquisition in the off-season, it was one of the better ones made under the radar. Theyll like him before the seasons over." Baltimores only other hit was a one-out double in the ninth by Nick Markakis. But Vargas ended it by striking out Adam Jones and retiring pinch-hitter Chris Snyder -- fittingly enough -- on a grounder to third base. "Hes a competitor, man," said Angels injured ace Jered Weaver, who has known Vargas since they were teammates at Long Beach State. "He had some good stuff at Long Beach. He was like a 94 guy in college, but we all know that that doesnt last forever. Hes turned himself into a pitcher now. Hes not a thrower like he was in college." Miguel Gonzalez (2-2) gave up three runs and six hits over six innings and struck out five without walking a batter. The right-handers outing was shortened by a blister on his thumb. "He could have maybe finished the game," Showalter said. "Weve got an off-day next week, so we can give him an extra day. But well see if hell miss that start. Its a pretty deep blister. He ripped the top off of it." Gonzalez retired the side on just five pitches in the first inning, but Trumbo drove his first offering of the second to left-centre for his seventh home run and fourth in five games. "I guess at times I can be kind of streaky," said Trumbo, who had a four-game home run streak last season. "If youre aggressive within an area, then you can check off some of the pitches that you cant handle." The Angels got a runner to third base in the third, when Erick Aybar doubled with two out and advanced on a wild pitch. Gonzalez escaped the jam by striking out Trout, but last seasons AL rookie of the year made up for it his next time up in the fifth with a drive over the left field fence. Trout made it 4-0 in the seventh with an RBI single. Gonzalez was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Angels in December 2004, but never played for the big club. His first big league start came against them on July 6, 2012 at the Big A, allowing a run over seven innings in a 3-2 victory. During that game he wore a glove given to him by minor league teammate Nick Adenhart, who was killed by a convicted drunk driver in 2009. NOTES: Mark Leiter Jr., the son of the former Angels pitcher, struck out 20 batters Friday night for New Jersey Institute of Technology in a 5-3 victory over Chicago State. He was only 3 years old when his infant brother Ryan died of spinal muscular atrophy in April 1994, just as their father was beginning his only season with the Halos. ... Callaspo returned from the disabled list after missing 19 games with a bruised left heel. The Angels optioned INF Andrew Romine to Triple-A Salt Lake. ... RHP Jerome Williams will make his first start of the season on Sunday instead of RHP Garrett Richards, who is back in the Angels bullpen after going 1-2 with a 5.54 ERA in four starts in Weavers place. Williams first eight appearances were in relief, including a six-inning stint at Oakland on Monday night, when he pitched the 10th through 15th innings and gave up an unearned run in a 19-inning loss.

MIAMI -- Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia is going from the World Series champions to a team that lost 100 games. Saltalamacchia has agreed to a $21 million, three-year deal with the Miami Marlins, two people familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday. The people confirmed the agreement to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the contract had not been finalized. Saltalamacchia started the past three seasons for the Boston Red Sox, who were reluctant to offer him a multiyear deal. The switch-hitter batted a career-high .273 with 15 homers, 40 doubles and 65 RBIs last season. He hit .188 in the post-season and was benched during the World Series. The Marlins will count on Saltalamacchia to give their offence a much-needed boost. Miami ranked last in the majors in 2013 in runs and batting, and their catchers batted only .194 and totalled nine home runs, with Jeff Mathis, Rob Brantly and Migueel Olivo sharing the job. Shea McClellin Jersey. Mathis is expected to return next season as a backup. "Welcome to Miami Jarrod!" Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton tweeted. "Marlins need water thats Salty." Under terms of the agreement with Saltalamacchia, hell make $6 million in 2014, $7 million in 2015 and $8 million in 2016. He becomes by far the highest-paid player for the Marlins, who had the lowest payroll in the NL last season at $45 million and are expected to be in that vicinity in 2014. The 28-year-old Saltalamacchia made $4.5 million last season. Hes the first catcher to agree to a multiyear deal with the Marlins since John Buck, who signed an $18 million, three-year deal in 2011 and was traded a year ago. Saltalamacchia grew up in West Palm Beach, Fla., not far from the Marlins spring training complex in Jupiter. Hes a career .246 hitter with 73 homers in 595 games.
