KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Los Angeles Angels provided plenty of run support for Tyler Skaggs in his return to the majors.Way more than he needed.Skaggs pitched seven innings in his first big league start in two years and Yunel Escobar went 5 for 5 to help the Angels pound the Kansas City Royals 13-0 on Tuesday night.Kole Calhoun drove in four runs and Carlos Perez had four hits, including a home run. Mike Trout drove in three runs, and Johnny Giavotella had three hits and scored three times.Escobar matched a career high for hits and the Angels collected 22 overall, equaling their season best.Addressing what he thought was the best part of the night, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said: Theres no doubt watching Tyler go out there and, once he got his feet on the ground, bringing all his pitches into the game. He had a good crisp fastball, good changeup, good curveball. He mixed his pitches up well.The 25-year-old Skaggs allowed three singles, struck out five and walked one.I was definitely nervous, my first time on a big league mound in two years, Skaggs said. I just wanted to get that first batter out of the way. I started relaxing after that.The left-hander, who had elbow surgery in August 2014, had his fastball clocked in the 91-95 mph range.He just did a fantastic job, Royals manager Ned Yost said. He was very impressive. Thats pretty good stuff he featured out there tonight.Calhoun doubled home Escobar in the first inning.

He also had a sacrifice fly in the sixth and another run-scoring grounder in the ninth.Perez led off the sixth with his fifth homer.Royals right-hander Dillon Gee (3-4) was charged with five runs and 10 hits in five-plus innings.The Angels sent 13 men to the plate in a seven-run ninth. Reserve catcher Drew Butera got the final out in his second pitching appearance of the season.Anytime I have to come in and pitch, its never a fun time, Butera said. Its an unfortunate situation.
