ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- The back spasms that prevented Scott Schoeneweis from making his previous scheduled start are gone. So is Toronto's streak of 11 consecutive games with a home run.

Schoeneweis allowed a run and seven hits over 6 1/3 innings and did not allow an extra-base hit as the Anaheim Angels beat the Blue Jays 3-1 Wednesday night.

"I was disappointed to miss that last start," Schoeneweis said. "I've worked too hard to have something like that occur. It was just a freak thing, and hopefully that won't happen again. But it was nice to be back out there after a little bit of a layoff.

"My warmups kind of convinced me that I was OK. I didn't feel 100 percent, as far as my stuff was concerned, and I was a little rusty. But I battled through it. Once I got through the first inning, I was fine."

Schoeneweis (3-2), who beat the Blue Jays 6-0 with a three-hitter on April 10 of last season for his only shutout and complete game in the majors, worked with runners on base in each of the first five innings and stranded six.

The only run off the left-hander came in the first inning, when Raul Mondesi singled with two outs, stole second and third, and scored Brad Fullmer's bloop single to left field.

"I'm a sinkerball guy, so I give up a lot of hits," Schoeneweis said. "I've got a good defense behind me, so I just want to get them to put the ball in play."

Al Levine retired all five batters he faced, and Troy Percival pitched a perfect ninth for his eighth save in as many opportunities. Percival has yet to allow an earned run this season in 13 1/3 innings.

Troy Glaus and Adam Kennedy drove in all of Anaheim's runs with second-inning homers, sending the Blue Jays to their seventh loss in eight games.

Glaus' 10th homer barely cleared the 18-foot-high wall in right field to tie the score at 1. Wally Joyner followed with a double inside first base, then Kennedy hit a drive that landed a couple rows behind the short fence in the right field corner.

"I battled with him and threw him a lot of low pitches down and away, but he just kept fouling them off," Parris said. "Then Fletch (catcher Darrin Fletcher) called for the high fastball, and I didn't quite get it as high as I wanted it."

Kennedy, who had an eight-RBI game at Toronto on April 18 of last season, has hit 11 of his 13 major league homers in Anaheim -- including all three this season. All 12 of his RBI this year have come at home.

"He'll surprise you," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "If he gets a ball that he can drive, he certainly showed that he can hit the ball out of the ballpark. I think he's more patient this year and you're seeing him work deeper counts, which will pay off for him."

Parris (2-3) pitched six innings, allowing three runs and six hits.
