third. It would be the last Angels hit until Trumbos one-out

CLEVELAND -- Former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Reggie Rucker was sentenced Wednesday to 21 months in prison for stealing from two charities, a crime his attorney blamed on a gambling addiction caused by football-related brain injuries.Rucker, 68, pleaded guilty in February to wire fraud and false statement charges after an FBI investigation found that he had stolen more than $100,000 from the two groups, with much of the money withdrawn from ATMs at casinos in Cleveland, Las Vegas and elsewhere. Rucker withdrew hundreds of thousands of dollars from bank accounts he oversaw, authorities said.Prosecutors said in a statement Wednesday that Rucker would solicit donations and then use the money to pay off markers at casinos as well as personal expenses. The diversions occurred between 2011 and 2015, prosecutors said.U.S. District Judge Dan Polster ordered Rucker to pay $110,000 in restitution, money that is expected to come from Ruckers share of a settlement of a class-action lawsuit against the NFL for hiding concussion risks.Defense attorney Michael Hennenberg said after the sentencing hearing on Wednesday that Ruckers gambling addiction resulted from poor impulse control, a condition caused by atrophy in a portion of his brains frontal lobe.Reggie never offered that as an excuse, Hennenberg said, adding that Rucker has been in treatment the last two years for his gambling addiction and his brain injuries.Rucker had been a popular figure in Cleveland for decades after spending seven of his 11 seasons in the NFL with the Browns. He also played for the New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants.His post-football career appeared to be successful as well. He worked six seasons as an analyst for regional broadcasts of NFL games in the 1980s and three seasons as a color analyst for locally televised Cleveland Indians baseball games.His star status was further embellished by what appeared to be his good deeds, including his role as executive director of Amer-I-Can Cleveland, an offshoot of a nonprofit organization created by Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown to help inner-city youth, and with Peacemakers Alliance, a collaboration of local groups that uses street workers to quell violence.He will spend the rest of his life trying to make up for what he did wrong, Hennenberg said. He hopes people will allow him to earn the respect back.Rucker still faces misdemeanor assault and menacing charges that were filed after a man told police that Rucker grabbed him by the throat and threatened to shoot him during a dispute over etiquette at a suburban Cleveland golf course.He was allowed to remain free until the federal Bureau of Prisons determines where he will serve his sentence.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- C.J. Wilson and the Los Angeles Angels celebrated Arte Morenos 10 years as owner by cruising to another easy victory over the slumping Seattle Mariners. Wilson struck out 10 in eight innings, Josh Hamilton had a two-run single and the Angels beat the Mariners 7-1 on Wednesday for their season-high fourth straight victory. On the 10th anniversary of the day Moreno assumed control of the franchise from the Walt Disney Co., Wilson helped Los Angeles to an appropriate gift for the owner. Since Moreno took over, the Angels have won five AL West titles under manager Mike Scioscia and made the playoffs one other time as a wild card. "You have to have an owner thats committed -- not only to bringing in new guys, but also retaining guys," Wilson said. "I think people look for the big splashes like Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton and myself as free agents. But we saw Jered Weaver, Howie Kendrick and Erick Aybar get the long-term deals, and we also have guys like Mark Trumbo and Mike Trout who are going to be keystones of this organization going forth. Those things are essential as well. So Artes going to do what has to be done." Wilson (4-3) allowed a run and six hits in his longest outing since June 8, 2012, when he also went eight innings in a 7-2 interleague victory at Colorado. The left-hander won for the first time since May 1 at Oakland after losing his previous three starts, including back-to-back 3-0 decisions against Chris Sale of the Chicago White Sox. The Mariners closed out a 2-7 road trip with their season-worst sixth straight loss, leaving them seven games under .500. After the game, some of the veterans initiated a closed-door clubhouse meeting. "We just felt that it was a good time for it. It was a necessary thing to do," said outfielder Raul Ibanez, who is in his third stint with the Mariners. "Its important to remember all the good stuff thats happened with us. I think weve got a good group of guys, guys that are going to fight and guys that are going to scratch and claw. So were going to be all right." Seattle rookie Brandon Maurer (2-6) made his first major league start near his hometown of Newport Beach, and it was a disaster. The right-hander, who played his high school ball a few miles away from Angel Stadium, gave up seven runs and 11 hits in three innings. He pitched 6 1-3 innings in a 6-0 win against Los Angelles on April 25 at Seattle.ddddddddddddBut this one was much different. Less than 24 hours after the Angels cruised to a 12-0 victory for their most lopsided shutout win ever against Seattle, Maurer retired only three of his first 15 batters and trailed 6-0 after 47 pitches. Los Angeles scored five in the first on Hamiltons two-run single, Alberto Callaspos two-run double and an RBI single by Hank Conger. It could have been worse for Maurer, but Erick Aybar was thrown out trying to steal second after drawing a leadoff walk. "Hes learning so much and hes going through what every young pitcher has to go through," manager Eric Wedge said. "Hes going to be a heck of a big league pitcher once he figures all this out. Once he learns from it, hell be better physically, fundamentally, mentally and emotionally, and all those things will settle in for him." Mike Trout, coming off his first career cycle, tripled in the second for his sixth consecutive hit and scored on a single by Albert Pujols. Last seasons AL Rookie of the Year and AL MVP runner-up is batting .359 with seven homers and 22 RBIs in his last 21 games since going 1 for 8 in a 19-inning loss at Oakland on April 29. Aybar made it 7-0 with an RBI single in the third. It would be the last Angels hit until Trumbos one-out double in the seventh against Yoervis Medina. The Mariners finally got on the board in the eighth when Brendan Ryan scored on a groundout by Michael Saunders. "Theres no panic. I mean, panics not in my vocabulary, and it better not be in theirs," Wedge said. "The coolest cat wins. Were two series removed from winning five out of six series -- and even then we didnt feel like we were the ballclub we feel like could still be. So its all right there for us. We just have to go out and take it." NOTES: Mariners 1B-DH Kendrys Morales, whom the Angels traded away last December for LHP Jason Vargas, got his 500th career hit in the first inning on a single through the box and finished the day 3 for 4 with a double. ... Trout has seven hits in his last 16 at-bats, but has struck out looking seven times during that stretch. ... Weaver (broken bone in his non-pitching arm) took park in an extended spring training game at the teams Tempe, Ariz., complex. He threw 62 of his 75 pitches for strikes, allowing a run and six hits in 5 2-3 innings with nine strikeouts and no walks. ' ' '
