HOUSTON (AP) ¡ª or the Houston Astros.White hit a go-ahead two-run double in a five-run eighth inning http://www.twinsfanproshop.com/authentic-max-kepler-jersey , Alex Bregman homered and the Astros beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-3 on Saturday night.¡°Those guys setting the table is the big thing,¡± White said. ¡°Kemp getting the hit and George (Springer) with the interference and Carlos (Correa) coming up with the big two-out hit is what got me in that situation. I just tried to get a good pitch to hit and take the same as any other at-bat.¡±With the score tied in the eighth, White hit a pitch to left field off Hansel Robles that missed being a home run by just feet. The ball bounced off the top of the metal scoreboard and back into left field. Springer and Correa came around to score, putting the Astros ahead 5-3.Since the All-Star break, White has 16 extra-base hits with 26 RBIs. This is the second time this week White has provided the eventual game-winning runs. White hit a tiebreaking home run in Wednesday¡¯s 5-4 win against Oakland in the ninth inning.The Astros entered leading the American League West by 1 1/2 games over Oakland.Correa drove in the tying run earlier in the eighth with an RBI single to center off Cam Bedrosian (5-4).¡°It was big,¡± Astros manager AJ Hinch said. ¡°The swings have gotten a little bit better, his preparation has been great. He carries the burden and is so hard on himself and he wants to come through.¡±Bedrosian (5-4) gave up three runs and two hits while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning.¡°There was all these things that were going the wrong way but still Cam had the chance and made a pitch to Correa to get out of it,¡± Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. ¡°He just left a fastball over the heart of the plate and he lined it to center.¡±The Astros piled it on as two more runs scored off a misplayed ball by Eric Young Jr. Marwin Gonzalez hit a deep fly ball to left-center, which Young attempted a leaping catch on but missed and crashed into the wall. White and Josh Reddick came into score, capping the five-run eighth and making it 7-3.¡°That eighth inning was about the reverse of what last night¡¯s eighth inning was,¡± Hinch said.¡±We got the big hit, we got the big connected at-bats one good at-bat after another and delivered a couple of big swings.¡±The Angels committed four errors on the night.Joe Smith (5-1) got the win after giving up one hit and striking out one in two-thirds of an inning.The struggles of the Angels¡¯ bullpen wasted one of Felix Pena¡¯s best starts of his career. Pena gave up just two runs in seven innings.¡°Felt good. Really good actually,¡± Pena said through a translator. ¡°I felt positive even though the result wasn¡¯t on our side.¡±In the sixth Paul Molitor Jersey , Bregman crushed his 26th home run of the season, making it 3-2. This extended his reached base safely streak to 29 games.Josh James made his major league pitching debut for the Astros and gave up three runs and five hits. He walked three and struck out nine ¡ª tying the second-most by an Astros pitcher making his debut.¡°Josh James did a great job of channeling a lot of adrenaline early,¡± Hinch said. ¡°That first inning has to be the most adrenaline-filled inning he¡¯s ever pitched in his life. He came out, showed great arm strength and kind of stayed away from his strength of the secondary pitch until later in the outing.¡±Kole Calhoun provided the only offense for the Angels with a three-run home run in the second inning. It was Calhoun¡¯s 18th of the season.Justin Upton, who went 0-3, left the game with a mild concussion after nearly colliding with shortstop Andrelton Simmons chasing down a popup in shallow left field. Upton slid under Simmons as he made the catch. He is listed day-to-day.SEPTEMBER CALLUPSAngels: RHP Miguel Almonte and INF Jose Fernandez were called up from Triple-A Salt Lake and also selected RHP Junichi Tazawa to the major league roster.Astros: OF Jake Marisnick and C Brian McCann were both activated from the 10-day disabled list and LHP Cionel Perez was called up from Triple-A Fresno.

It will be his first since March 31, which has been his only start of the season.UP NEXTAngels: RHP Shohei Ohtani (4-1, 3.10 ERA) will make his first start since June 6 on Sunday.

Cole has 234 strikeouts, which ranks third in the majors. SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) ¡ª When injuries depleted the Arizona outfield last season, middle infielder Ketel Marte volunteered to be an interim option.The Diamondbacks are taking him up on that offer this year.Marte will move from second base to center field this season as the Diamondbacks reconfigure following the loss of free agent center fielder A.J. Pollock and a perceived dearth of free agents or trade options to replace him.¡°He feels like he can do anything in this game, and I love that Tony Oliva Jersey ,¡± Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said.¡°Last year when A.J. went down, he said, ¡®I¡¯ll be the best center fielder. If you need somebody, put me out there.¡¯ That was our starting point with him this year.¡±Marte made all of his 132 starts in the middle infield in 2018, 105 at second base, and he also reached career highs in virtually every offensive category after signing a five-year, $24 million contract last March.He led the NL with 12 triples and had 26 doubles, 14 homers and 59 RBIs in his first full season.While Marte still will play infield in some lineup configurations this season, he has embraced the move to center.¡°I want to do whatever is best for the team,¡± Marte said.Marte played two games in center field with Seattle as a rookie in 2015, and Arizona believes his athleticism and aptitude will help lessen the inevitable learning curve.By his request, Marte has done most of his early work this spring at second base to lock down that spot before beginning the outfield immersion. He also is the only backup shortstop on the roster.¡°From an instincts standpoint, from an intelligence standpoint http://www.twinsfanproshop.com/authentic-max-kepler-jersey , from a raw ability standpoint, athleticism and speed . he has those things,¡± general manager Mike Hazen said, adding that ¡°of course¡± there will be bumps along the way.¡°It¡¯s a hard position to play. There are the areas that reps, only reps, live reps, are going to replicate.¡±Seattle¡¯s Dee Gordon made the same transition from second base to center field in 2018 before returning to second following Robinson Cano¡¯s 80-game suspension, and he acknowledged it was not easy.¡°It¡¯s big-league hitters hitting the ball as hard as they can and you¡¯ve never played that spot before,¡± Gordon said. ¡°And if you drop it, they have two or three bases. That¡¯s the hard part. If the ball went past me at second base, that¡¯s just a base hit.¡±Marte¡¯s shift also will create a different infield dynamic, with free agent Wilmer Flores taking over at second. Marte and shortstop Nick Ahmed were key parts of a defense that ¡°saved¡± an NL-high 122 runs over the average defense last season, according to a baseballreference.com metric.But with Pollock and Paul Goldschmidt gone from a team that scored only 693 runs a year ago Kennys Vargas Jersey , 119 fewer than they had in 2017, finding a way to create more scoring was another factor in Marte¡¯s position shift. Flores has 61 homers as a semi-regular in his last four seasons with the Mets.¡°Offense was probably an area where we ended up being a little deficient last year overall, so we have made a couple of moves where hopefully we can address some of that,¡± Hazen said. ¡°Obviously, the loss of Goldy and A.J. is going to contribute as well, but as far as the defensive alignment goes, even though we might be sacrificing a little bit of defense, we might be better suited offensively.¡±Marte made a slight swing adjustment after a slow start last season and finished strong, hitting .296 with a .841 OPS after the All-Star break. A switch-hitter, he hit .321 with nine homers against lefties last season.
