OAKLAND http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-brandon-guyer-jersey , Calif. (AP) — Stephen Piscotty thought he had Andrelton Simmons‘ fly ball lined up in the sixth inning before a woman reached her glove over the right-field wall and cost him a potential catch in foul territory.launched a go-ahead grand slam and the Los Angeles Angels scored six times in the sixth to rally past the Oakland Athletics 9-7 on Tuesday night.The A’s challenged that the fan interfered with Piscotty making the play, but the call was upheld with no interference charged.“I don’t know how you don’t. He’s going to catch it,” Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. “I’m not sure what they saw that we didn’t see. I asked Stephen and he said he’d have caught it. Maybe the placement of the runners, maybe they don’t know where they’re going with that, I don’t know. It’s an out. You want to get every out you possibly can. We felt like it was catchable.”Oakland dropped five games back of the AL West-leading Astros and 2 1/2 behind the Yankees for the top wild card after Houston and New York each won. The red-hot Rays are closing in, too, trailing Oakland by 5½ games.“It’s a tough play going into the wall, but I felt like I was there in enough time. Definitely changes how that inning goes, but nothing we can do about it now,” Piscotty said. “I never understand when they’re going to overturn stuff. I had a feeling they wouldn’t.”Mike Trout homered for Los Angeles and stole his 24th base.Cowart connected against Lou Trivino (8-3) for his club’s first grand slam of the season and later added an RBI triple.“Hopefully, I’ll get into a rhythm here and get some playing time. I felt good tonight,” Cowart said.Noe Ramirez (6-5) pitched 1 1/3 innings of relief for the win. Ty Buttrey allowed a two-run single to pinch-hitter Dustin Fowler in the eighth but got five outs for his fourth save.Mark Canha hit a three-run double in the fourth for the A’s, who lost for the fourth time in five games.Trout’s 35th home run broke a scoreless tie when he connected off Daniel Mengden in the fourth.Angels left-hander Tyler Skaggs returned from a third stint on the disabled list this season to throw three scoreless innings. He missed 32 games with a strained muscle in his left leg during his latest trip to the DL. He last pitched Aug. 11 against the A’s before dealing with leg issues once more.Oakland loaded the bases in the fourth against Cam Bedrosian, getting walks by Jed Lowrie and Piscotty sandwiched around a single by Khris Davis. Matt Olson and Marcus Semien each struck out swinging before Canha came through with a bases-clearing double off the left-field wall. Jonathan Lucroy followed with an RBI single to chase Bedrosian.Oakland’s Liam Hendriks recorded the first three outs on seven pitches. Then his day was done, and Mengden took over for the A’s, who again began the game with a reliever as Melvin copes with an injury-plagued rotation.OHTANI TOP ROOKIE?Don’t ask Angels manager Mike Scioscia who else but Shohei Ohtani should be considered for AL Rookie of the Year — he doesn’t have another name to offer.Just his Japanese two-way star.“To do what Shohei did Erik Gonzalez Jersey , it’s on a different level,” Scioscia said of the designated hitter and pitcher. “He’s doing everything you could imagine a kid 23 years old coming in and doing. I think he’s Rookie of the Year.”TRAINER’S ROOMAngels: Rookie second baseman and utilityman David Fletcher, who exited Sunday’s game against Seattle in the first inning with a strained left hamstring, will only return once fully healthy. “We’re not going to rush anything or run him into a game and put him at risk,” Scioscia said.Athletics: RHP Trevor Cahill, scratched from his scheduled Saturday start at Tampa Bay with a strain in his upper back before getting trigger-point injections, played catch from 120 feet.UP NEXTAngels: RHP Felix Pena (3-4, 3.75 ERA) faces the A’s for the third time this season seeking his first decision in those matchups. Only one of the previous outings was a start.Athletics: LHP Brett Anderson (3-5, 4.35) makes his second start since coming off the DL after taking the loss last Thursday at Baltimore, where he lasted just 3 1/3 innings. He has walked one or fewer batters in each of his past nine starts, with just five free passes over 48 innings during that stretch. SEATTLE (AP) — Interim manager Don Wakamatsu is getting a long September look at some of the future pitching pieces of the Texas Rangers.Rookie right-hander Ariel Jurado is stating his case to be included in the Rangers’ 2019 rotation. And hard-throwing Jose Leclerc just keeps putting up zeroes at the back end of the bullpen.Jurado gave up two hits in six innings, first baseman Ronald Guzman broke a tie with an RBI single in the seventh and the Rangers snapped a three-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night.Guzman hammered reliever Zach Duke’s sinking fastball into the right-center gap, scoring Ryan Rua, who reached base on a one-out double.Guzman scored after right-hander Shawn Armstrong plunked Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the helmet with the bases loaded later in the inning.Jurado (5-5) beat the Mariners for the second time in six days. This time, he induced nine ground-ball outs and struck out three.“That sinker, and his ability to get guys to swing early in the count, is critical http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-josh-tomlin-jersey ,” Wakamatsu said. “I thought he pitched a heck of a ballgame.”The only hits Jurado gave up Thursday were Daniel Vogelbach’s opposite-field single to left field in the second inning, and Ben Gamel’s single to right field in the sixth. At one point, he retired 10 batters in a row.“We didn’t do much at all,” said Mariners manager Scott Servais, whose club was shut out for the seventh time this season. “We hit a lot of balls on the ground tonight. We really just didn’t get into a lot of at-bats, and didn’t square him up.”Leclerc extended his scoreless streak to 21 innings. He gave up a leadoff single to Mitch Haniger in the ninth inning, but retired Jean Segura, Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz in order to nab his 12th save.Leclerc has not been scored on in his past 21 appearances, dating to July 28. His 21-inning scoreless streak is the second-longest in the majors behind Minnesota’s Taylor Rogers (23 ? innings).“For me, this has been unbelievable,” said Leclerc, who took over the ninth-inning role after Keone Kela was traded to Pittsburgh at the end of July. “I just try to work hard to command the fastball. That was a big problem last year.”Duke (5-5) gave up two runs in two-thirds of an inning after Seattle starter Marco Gonzales held the Rangers scoreless for five innings, giving up two hits and striking out six.Texas has won five of its past six games against the Mariners.HANIGER JOINS AL ELITEIn his second full season with the Mariners, Haniger ranks eighth among AL position players with a Wins Above Replacement (WAR) of 6.0.It is the highest of any Seattle outfielder since 2009 when Franklin Gutierrez finished with a 6.6. The other two Seattle outfielders with a 6.0 WAR or better were Ken Griffey Jr. (six times) and Ichiro Suzuki (two).“I’m not surprised really by anything he’s done because the work ethic, the discipline and structure he has,” Servais said. “He’s as good as anyone.”LONG WAIT OVERRight-hander Adrian Sampson figured his first Safeco Field start would be with the hometown Mariners, the team that traded for him in 2015.But after a season-ending elbow injury on the road with the Mariners in 2016 Carlos Carrasco Jersey , he was released. And now with Texas, he has worked his way back to the big leagues, first as a reliever and now a late-season starter. His final appearance is Saturday.“It is a good story,” said Sampson, who is from nearby Redmond, Washington. “I have come a long ways, and to have this be the last start after the ups and downs earlier this year . to finish here is big for me.”ROSTER RESHUFFLINGMariners: Servais confirmed LHP James Paxton will make his final start Saturday, but declined to name a starter for the season finale Sunday.TRAINER’S ROOMRangers: 3B Adrian Beltre (hip) was held out Thursday, but Wakamatsu expects the four-time All Star to serve as the designated hitter for the next two games before deciding if he plays in the field in the season finale Sunday. “We will honor whatever he wants,” Wakamatsu said.Mariners: OF Denard Span (leg) and INF/OF Dee Gordon (toe) were held out of the starting lineup Thursday, but Servais thinks they will be available for the final three games. Span did fly out to center field as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning.UP NEXTRangers: LHP Martin Perez (2-6, 6.13 ERA) wraps up his worst season as a professional. He seeks his eighth career win against the Mariners, which would tie Oakland for his most against any opponent.Mariners: LHP Wade LeBlanc (8-5, 3.55 ERA) has one final chance to win a career-best ninth game in a season. He won eight games in 2010 with San Diego. It will also be his 27th start for Seattle, which will be a career high. LeBlanc took the loss Sunday against the Rangers.
