ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels had their chances Wednesday night, but couldnt get enough going against the Seattle Mariners power pitchers.Ketel Marte drove in the tiebreaking run with a sacrifice fly, Leonys Martin scored from second base on a bunt, and the Mariners held on for a 4-3 victory over the Angels on Wednesday night.The Mariners pulled within one on Yunel Escobars RBI single -- his fifth hit of the game -- in the ninth and then loaded th bases against Mariners closer Edwin Diaz one out later on Mike Trouts single and Albert Pujols walk. However, Diaz -- who hit 101 mph on the gun -- struck out Jefry Marte and got Andrelton Simmons to ground out for his eighth save in eight chances.On the final out, third baseman Kyle Seager made a diving stop on Simmons grounder and threw hit out a second before he tagged the bag to hand the Angels their 12th loss in 13 games.Its frustrating, Trout said. We had opportunities. I had opportunities. Simmons had a good at-bat but Seager made a good play.Trout was up twice with runners on earlier in the game and struck out both times. With two on in the seventh, Arquimendes Caminero got him with three straight 100 mile-per-hour fastballs to end the inning.I missed a bunch of pitches and I keep telling the young guys, `If you get a pitch to hit, you cant miss it. I missed it a couple times, Trout said. Youve got to be up there looking for a fastball. You cant be sitting slider when he throws 100, youve got to catch up to it.Escobar went 5 for 5 for his fifth career five-hit game. Since 2000, only Ichiro and Johnny Damon have more with seven each.Robinson Cano had three hits, Kyle Seager and Chris Iannetta each had two hits and scored a run as the Mariners won for the 10th time in 12 games to move two games behind Baltimore for the second AL wild card.Drew Storen (3-3) pitched 1 1/3 innings for the win.Obviously our bullpen weathered the storm tonight, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. We made pitches and got outs, so it was a nice win.Angels starter Tyler Skaggs (1-2) gave up four runs and six hits in 3 1/3 innings.Tyler had trouble repeating pitches tonight, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. Eighty-two pitches over three innings -- thats just not going to cut it. Hopefully hell learn from this and get back to where he needs to be.With the score tied at 2-all, Iannetta led off the fourth with a single to center and moved to third on Martins single. After Martin stole second, Ketel Martes sacrifice fly drove in Iannetta with the go-ahead run. Shawn OMalley then laid down a bunt and reached base safely. Jefry Marte thired tried to throw Martin out at third but he was already breaking for home plate and scored easily on the relay.Mike Morin then came on in relief of Skaggs, who lost his second straight decision.Im throwing way too many pitches, Skaggs said. I think I tried to be too fine. I ended up walking one guy and hitting a guy and things kind of spiraled out of control from there. It was a frustrating outing for me.Cody Martin, called up one day earlier to fill a vacancy in the rotation, limited the Angels to two runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings.The Angels first two runs came in the first inning with Escobar scoring on Pujols single and Kole Calhoun on a sacrifice fly by Marte. Pujols now has 93 RBI, tying him for second in the American League with David Ortiz.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: LHP James Paxton played catch and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Thursday.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

Air Max 270 React Australia . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. doesnt have a problem with teams trying to get in his head.Id probably do the same, Beckham said.The emotional Beckham has proven capable of being thrown off track. It happened on Monday when he overstepped the boundary and earned a costly taunting penalty against cornerback Xavier Rhodes in Monday nights 24-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.Offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan questioned the approach teams are employing to throw Beckham off his game. He didnt think it was the proper competitive spirit.In terms of defenders, you really have to ask yourself, why are they trying to get in his head, why are they trying to rattle him? Sullivan said. If a guy is very confident -- Im talking about a defender -- if hes confident, if he has complete belief in his own abilities and hes a true competitor, why would you want to tip the scales? Doesnt he want Odell to be at his best?Beckham at his best is a scary proposition. He scored 25 touchdown in his first 26 career games. He set the NFL receiving record in his first two professional seasons.Teams are trying to reduce his effectiveness, even if it means getting into his head.The only reason the guy tries to get him off his game is theyre not confident enough in their abilities, Sullivan said. Theyre afraid to match up against him 1-on-1, mano-y-mano if you will. So if that is going to be the approach ... say, You know what, obviously the guy is not courageous enough, brave enough, man enough or whatever you want to say, to go ahead and play it straight up. If you need those type of tricks, OK, then so be it.Rhodes helped limit Beckham to a career-low three receptions for 23 yards on Monday night. The Giants star receiver also had a drop, a penalty and was bumped off his route on a ball that Rhodes intercepted.Rhodes and Beckham tangled and/or exchanged words on multiple occasions Monday night. Its something Beckham is gettinng accustomed to.ddddddddddddHes trying to avoid a similar result this week on Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers.I think its gotten to a point where I just want to compete, Beckham said. None of the extra stuff. I just want to compete. That never seems to be the case. You just keep smiling. Itll be straight. Itll all work itself out. Well start winning some games and help pick up this offense.The thing that kills me is that I remember when I was a kid. I remember when I looked up to someone and watched them, emulated them, he said. What Im doing is not something I would want a 6-year-old boy to be out there and learn from. Honestly, as funny as it sounds, thats really all I care about.Just being able to have that ability to be a blessing to someone else. To be an inspiration. Thats a lot of power. Thats very powerful to me. It feeds my soul. I would never, again, want to set a bad example for any kids or anything like that. Im just doing the best to be me.Beckham hasnt reached the end zone yet this season and has been involved in incidents each of the past two weeks.Hes a young man who is very emotional but hes basically a very good young man who does a lot of good things off the field. But he plays the game with a lot of passion and sometimes he goes a little too far, Giants co-owner John Mara told The Associated Press on Thursday during a conference on faith and sport at the Vatican.But thats true with a lot of players, Mara added. Unfortunately for him it seems like everybodys focused on him right now.Beckham said repeatedly Thursday he can only control what he can control. Hes thinking about the Packers.You just keep going. Keep it moving, he said. Theres always going to be bumps in the road. Theres always going to be this and that, adversity. You just overcome it. Its what Ive done all my life. ' ' '
