| ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mike Trout greeted Brad Boxberger with a three-run walkoff homer to cap a four-run ninth inning and give the Los Angeles Angels a 6-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night in the opener of a four-game series. Rays closer Grant Balfour came on in the ninth to try and protect a 5-2 lead for Erik Bedard, but walked his first two batters before giving up an RBI single by Collin Cowgill. Trout jumped on a 1-1 pitch from Boxberger (0-1) and drove it into the top tier of the double-decker bullpen in left field for his eighth homer. Fernando Salas (3-0) pitched a perfect inning to get the victory. Angels manager Mike Scioscia won two replay challenges with his team at bat. Both were against second base umpire Jim Reynolds on tag plays in the fifth and seventh innings, although the Angels didnt score in either inning. Angels starter Tyler Skaggs gave up five runs and eight hits in six-plus innings, remaining winless in five starts at Angel Stadium this season with a 6.91 ERA. Brandon Guyer hit his first home run of the season and centre fielder Desmond Jennings robbed C.J. Cron of a two-run homer as Bedard took a 4-0 lead into the sixth. The left-hander was charged with two unearned runs and four hits through 5 2-3 innings and struck out five. Rays first baseman James Loney, playing in on the grass, allowed a two-out grounder by Erick Aybar to get under his glove with runners at the corners in the sixth. Howie Kendrick scored on Loneys third error of the season, ending a string of 22 consecutive scoreless innings by Tampa Bay pitchers -- five short of the franchise record set last September. Pinch-hitter Raul Ibanez greeted Brandon Gomes with an RBI single before Jake McGee came in and struck out Grant Green. Guyer chased Skaggs with a leadoff homer in the seventh to give Tampa Bay a three-run lead. In the fourth, Jennings took away Crons bid for his third big league homer and first at Angel Stadium with a leaping grab in left-centre -- two innings after Guyer raced in from left field to make a diving grab of Crons Texas Leaguer. Thanks to Jennings catch, Bedard has thrown 46 1-3 consecutive innings without allowing a home run since last Sept. 16, when he was pitching for Houston and gave up a 2-run shot by Cincinnatis Zack Cozart at Minute Maid Park. Tampa Bay scored three runs in the sixth. Jimenez, making his fifth start at third base while David Freese remains on the disabled list, went into the hole for Wil Myers sixth-inning grounder with Aybar standing right behind Jimenez waiting for the ball. It deflected off Jimenezs glove and into short left field, and Myers was credited with an RBI double. Loney, who leads Tampa Bay with 24 RBIs, doubled inside first base two batters later to drive in another run. NOTES: The Rays put switch-hitting 2B Ben Zobrist on the 15-day DL because of a dislocated left thumb, which he injured on a headfirst slide while trying to steal second base in Wednesdays 2-0 victory at Seattle. The nine-year veteran doesnt intend to abandon the headfirst approach. "Ill keep sliding headfirst -- probably with an oven mitt on my hand, or something to protect it," he joked. ... Angels LF Josh Hamilton, who hasnt played since tearing a ligament in his left thumb on a headfirst slide into first base April 8, took live batting practice for the first time since the injury and is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment late next week. ... Rays RHP Alex Cobb, sidelined since April 13 because of an oblique strain on his left side, is scheduled to make a rehab start on Saturday with Class-A Charlotte and will be limited to five innings or 75 pitches.

Jon Singletons homer capped a four-run ninth inning and the Astros took advantage of Clevelands sloppy defence to defeat the Indians 5-1 on Friday night. Houston, beginning the final leg of a 10-game road trip, took two of three at Yankee Stadium before coming to Cleveland, and has won four of five overall. The Astros have been the team taking advantage of mistakes against teams trying to reach the post-season. "Its huge, thats what winning ballclubs do," Singleton said. "When teams are making small mistakes like that, other teams capitalize and come out with the win." The Astros had lost six straight against Cleveland, getting outscored 41-15. Singleton hit a three-run drive off Cody Allen (4-3) after a pair of throwing errors by the worst defensive team in the majors. Catcher Roberto Perezs wild throw let the go-ahead run score. A throwing error by first baseman Carlos Santana set up Houstons big inning. "I felt like our guys did a good job of being aggressive and took advantage of some mistakes in which the other team made," Astros manager Bo Porter said. Tony Sipp (4-2) pitched the eighth. The Indians helped him by getting two runners thrown out on the bases. Astros starter Brad Peacock gave up one run and was pulled after five innings because of discomfort in his right forearm. Marwin Gonzalez homered for Houston and Zach Walters connected for Cleveland in the fifth. Walters homered for the third straight day. After Allen issued a one-out walk to Chris Carter, Santana threw wildly to second after fielding Dexter Fowlers groundball. The error moved Carter to third. Then when Fowler tried to steal second, Perezs high throw glanced off shortstop Jose Ramirezs glove and rolled into the outfield, allowing Carter to score. Singleton then put the game away. "Every time I go up there I try and hit a ball hard," he said. "Sometimes you dont do that and you still got to go up there and do your job.ddddddddddddIts definitely nice to know all the hard work is not wasted." The Indians lead the majors with 99 errors after committing 98 when they made the playoffs last season. Their poor play, however, wasnt limited to defence Friday. Cleveland had runners on first and second with no outs in the eighth before shoddy baserunning ended the threat. Mike Aviles, who led off with a single, was caught off second on Perezs bunt attempt. Tyler Holt, who advanced to second while Aviles was tagged in a rundown, was later thrown out trying to steal third. Cleveland manager Terry Francona was understandably displeased with the mistakes. "Obviously, we need to do better," he said. "We cant play like that and expect to win." Carlos Carrasco allowed one run in six innings for Cleveland. BO KNOWS FOOTBALL Porter played football at the University of Iowa and follows the sport closely. He has taken special interest in the Cleveland Browns since they drafted Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel in May. "Id like to be on the sideline giving Johnny Football advice before he goes in," Porter joked. POWER SURGE Carter has hit 17 homers since July 1, which is five more than any other player in the majors. He also leads the league during that span with 42 RBIs and a .665 slugging percentage. TRAINERS ROOM Astros: Porter said he didnt want to take any chances with Peacock when his forearm tightened up. ... RHP Chad Qualls, who had been out with a sore back, pitched the ninth inning, his first appearance since Tuesday. Indians: C Yan Gomes (concussion) did some light pregame activity Friday. He was hit in the mask when a pitch deflected off Minnesotas Kurt Suzuki on Thursday. Theres no timetable for when Gomes will return. UP NEXT Astros: RHP Collin McHugh (6-9) is seeking his first career three-game winning streak Saturday. Hell be facing the Indians for the first time. Indians: RHP Danny Salazar (4-6) goes against the Astros for the first time in his career. Hes 4-1 when he throws at least five innings this season. ' ' ' |
