C.C. Sabathia (2-2) gave up four runs on eight hits and one walk over 6 1/3 innings in his second consecutive loss. The left-hander struck out five.
Paul Byrd (3-3), who was drafted in the fourth round by Cleveland in 1991, but traded to the Mets in 1994 before ever pitching for the Indians, improved to 4-0 with a 1.89 ERA in six career starts against the Tribe. The right-hander allowed three runs on eight hits over six innings, striking out three without a walk.
Crisp had three hits and Peralta and Grady Sizemore two apiece for Cleveland.
The Angels took a 2-0 lead in the first inning when Vladimir Guerrero got a two-out single and scored on Anderson's fourth homer.
Peralta hit his third homer in the third inning to get Cleveland within 2-1 and the Indians tied it in the fifth when Peralta hit a one-out double and scored on a two-out double by Alex Cora,
Paul's two-run shot, his first, went just over a leaping Sizemore at the centerfield wall, in the bottom half to put the Angels back in front, 4-2.
Crisp doubled and scored on a triple by Sizemore in the sixth to make it 4-3.
The Angels got three singles, a walk and one run in the eighth off reliever Rafael Betancourt and Crisp opened the ninth with his third homer -- the Indians' 14th without a man on base of the last 19 homers hit by the club overall.
