ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Scott Schoeneweis didn't know quite what to expect when he went out to pitch the ninth inning.

Schoeneweis, a reliever last year as a rookie with Anaheim, crafted a three-hitter in his second major league start as the Angels beat Toronto 6-0 Monday night.

It was the Angels' first complete-game shutout in almost two years. Chuck Finley was the last Anaheim pitcher to accomplish the feat, with a 5-0 win over Tampa Bay on April 17, 1998.

"That's the longest I've ever pitched as a major leaguer, so I don't really have anything to compare it to," said Schoeneweis, 2-0. "Since I've never done that before, it's a big confidence-booster.

"Something like that, you really don't know you can do it until you actually do."

Manager Mike Scioscia, who kept his confidence in Schoeneweis despite the left-hander's spotty performance in the spring, was grinning.

"What most impressed me was that he stuck to his game plan," Scioscia said. "He did what he planned to do against a powerful right-handed hitting lineup.

"For him to shut them down is a tremendous effort. His location was very good, and he made good pitches when he had to."

Said Schoeneweis: "It's no secret what I do; I keep the ball down, and I was able to do that. I even had a changeup for the first time in my major league career, although it wasn't much of one and still needs work."

As a reliever last year, Schoeneweis was 1-1 with a 5.49 ERA in 31 appearances spanning 39 1/3 innings.

In his major league starting debut last Wednesday, he pitched six innings to beat the New York Yankees 12-6.

Against Toronto, he struck out four and walked four.

The only hits off him were Marty Cordova's leadoff single in the fifth, Homer Bush's two-out double in the sixth and Alex Gonzalez's leadoff single in the eighth.

Troy Glaus hit a three-run homer off reliever Paul Quantrill as the Angels gave Schoeneweis some breathing room with a four-run seventh.

Garret Anderson drove in the other three runs, with a two-run double off Chris Carpenter (0-2) in the third inning and a sacrifice fly in the seventh.

Carpenter gave up two runs and three hits in six innings, but had trouble getting the ball over the plate and walked eight. Of his 92 pitches, 47 were balls.

"I was struggling with my mechanics all night, but I battled as long as I could," Carpenter said. "The bottom line is getting outs and keeping the team in the game as long as you can, no matter how you do it.

"And I did that. Giving up two runs with eight walks, I probably got a little lucky, but I made pitches when I had to."

The eight walks were one shy of the club record shared by five pitchers. Carpenter was the last Blue Jays pitcher to walk nine -- last Aug. 16 in a 7-5 loss to Seattle.

DiSarcina put on 15-day DL
The Angels announced after the game that shortstop Gary DiSarcina was being placed on the 15-disabled list, retroactive to April 9, with a bruised left thumb, injured when he made a diving catch Saturday. The Angels purchased the contract of infielder Keith Johnson from Triple-A Edmonton, optioned pitcher Mike Fyhrie to Edmonton, activated pitcher Ramon Ortiz from the 15-day disabled list, and transferred outfielder Mike Colangelo from the 15-day DL to the 60-day DL. Ortiz will make his first start against Toronto's Kelvim Escobar on Tuesday night.
