Griffin Canning allowed three hits over six innings and Eric Wagaman went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs as the Los Angeles Angels snapped a six-game losing streak with a 5-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night in Anaheim, Calif.

Canning (6-13), who gave up a season-high 10 runs (nine earned) over 5 2/3 innings against the Minnesota Twins in his previous start, walked two and struck out six on Tuesday. Brock Burke, Hunter Strickland and Ryan Miller each tossed one inning of relief as the Angels handed the White Sox their 19th shutout loss of the season.

Taylor Ward had three hits and an RBI and Gustavo Campero had two hits and a run for Los Angeles (61-90), which finished with 10 hits.

Dominic Fletcher and Nicky Lopez each had two hits for Chicago (36-116), which moved within four losses of matching the modern major league record for losses in a single season, set by the 1962 New York Mets (40-120).

Davis Martin (0-5) suffered the loss for the White Sox, who had a three-game winning streak snapped. Martin allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings while striking out four.

Los Angeles took a 1-0 lead in the third inning when Charles Leblanc led off with a walk, advanced to second on a single by Campero and scored on a single by Ward.

The Angels increased the lead to 2-0 in the fourth, taking advantage of a leadoff walk by Nolan Schanuel, who advanced to second on a single by Niko Kavadas and then scored on a single by Wagaman.

Los Angeles made it 3-0 in the fifth, when Campero led off with a single, stole second and scored on a two-out double by Schanuel.

Wagaman homered for the second straight game -- a 434-foot drive to left-center off reliever Enyel De Los Santos that made it 4-0 in the sixth inning.

The Angels extended the lead to 5-0 in the seventh when Ward led off with an infield single, stole second, advanced to third on a groundout and scored on a wild pitch by Jake Eder, who was making his major league debut.
