ARLINGTON, Texas -- Kole Calhoun got the Los Angeles Angels off to a fast start with a leadoff triple, and he trotted home after an errant relay throw bounced into the seats. Marcus Williams Womens Jersey . All-Star centre fielder Mike Trout and the rest of the Angels quickly followed his lead, and Los Angeles went on to a 15-6 rout over the freefalling Texas Rangers on Thursday night. "Oh yeah we were having fun," said Trout, the No. 2 hitter behind Calhoun who had a three-run homer among his four hits. "We always have fun, we know what this offence is capable of doing." The first four Angels batters in the game had hits and scored. They added six more runs in the second and were already up 13-2 against Colby Lewis (6-6) when Trout hit his 21st homer with one out in the third. "Those are the days you play for in organized sports, especially in baseball, when everybodys contributing, everybodys having fun, everybodys getting hits," said Josh Hamilton, the 2010 AL MVP with Texas who had RBI doubles in each of the first two innings. "Its a fun thing to be a part of." While the Angels won for the seventh time in eight games, Texas has lost five straight and 19 of 22. The Rangers (38-54) have the worst winning percentage in the majors at .413. The Rangers clubhouse remained closed for about 30 minutes after the game. Manager Ron Washington refused to reveal what he said to his team, but gave some insight into what he expects from his players. "That you dont stop fighting. You dont give into adversity. The game of baseball is full of it. You dont give in to it," he said. "The only people that can make a change and make a difference is my guys. " Hector Santiago (1-7) struck out eight in six innings. The left-hander allowed four runs and five hits. Lewis allowed a club-record 13 runs in only 2 1-3 innings. He also gave up a career-worst 13 hits in his 130th major league start, while his ERA increased by more than a full run -- from 5.51 to 6.54 -- after 11 earned runs were changed against him. Calhoun, who had four hits and scored four times, was only a homer shy of a cycle after hits in each of the first three innings. He admittedly "100 per cent" was trying to go deep his last two at-bats in a lopsided game, but grounded out and had another single. "I was definitely pulling for it," Trout said. "It was fun to watch." Calhoun pulled another ball down the right-field line for an RBI double in the second. Trout then drove in a run on a chopper for an infield hit before Albert Pujols had a sacrifice fly -- though he reached base when right fielder Alex Rios dropped the ball on the warning track for an error. Hamilton then had the second of his three doubles in the game. Erick Aybar, added to the AL All-Star team Thursday, also had RBIs in each of the first two innings. He drove in a run with a groundout in the first and had an RBI single in the second. Rangers rookie outfielder Jake Smolinski, who made his major league debut as a pinch-hitter Monday, had three hits, drove in three runs and scored twice. He has hits in all three of his starts and is the first Rangers player ever with eight hits in his first four games. NOTES: The Angels had lost eight consecutive games at Texas. ... RHP Matt West became the third player to make his major league debut this week for the Rangers.

TreQuan Smith Youth Jersey . Then again, he really was at his home away from home. "It was nice to sleep in my own bed last night," Shields said after pitching Kansas City past the San Diego Padres 8-0 Wednesday. Taysom Hill Womens Jersey . PAUL, Minn – The clock lingered for what seemed like an interminable two minutes and 51 seconds before Mark Fraser finally escaped to the bench during a wildly one-sided first period of an eventual loss to Boston. http://www.shoptheofficialsaints.com/Elite-Chauncey-Gardner-Johnson-Saints-Jersey/ . Keenum will make his first appearance in a regular-season game against the rugged defence of the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, where the fans just set a Guinness record as the noisiest outdoor stadium in the world. PORTLAND, Ore. -- Even a few tense moments and a flurry of shots at the finish didnt dissuade Portland coach Caleb Porter from believing that the Timbers were going to beat the Sounders. "We dodged some bullets, for sure," he said. "But in the end I thought it was our game to win." Kalif Alhassan scored late in the first half and the Timbers held on for a 1-0 victory over Cascadia Cup rival Seattle on Sunday night, denying the Sounders a chance to clinch a playoff berth. The Timbers (13-5-14) moved into first place in the MLS Western Conference, pulling them closer to the post-season spot with two games left. Portland has not lost in six straight overall matches, and hasnt lost at home in 14 straight. "Everybody is dialed in," midfielder Will Johnson said. "Everyone is on board." It was the third straight loss for the Sounders, who fell to Vancouver Whitecaps 4-1 on Wednesday night. The Sounders (15-11-6) dropped into third place in the conference standings as the playoffs loom. Seattle star Clint Dempsey, captain of the U.S. national team, appeared to injure his shoulder in the first half and twice went to the sidelines to seek treatment. But he returned for the second half. He was trying his best, but he was carrying his shoulder," Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said. "He couldnt go into challenges and tackles, he couldnt run normally. All those things affected him." With the Seattle loss, Vancouver claimed the supporters-created Cascadia Cup, an annual three-way competition between the Sounders, Whitecaps and Timbers. The Timbers were last seasons recipients of the Cascadia Cup, which was introduced in 2004 when all three teams were part of the United Soccer Leagues First Division. But the actual rivalry between the three teams dates to 1975, when they were part of the North American Soccer League. Both the Sounders and Timbers were missing players because of international duty. The Timbers were without defenders Rodney Wallace (Costa Rica) and Alvas Powell (Jamaica) and forward Ryan Johnson (Jamaica). The Sounders were without midfielder Brad Evans and forward Eddie Johnson, both of the U.S. national team. Schmid decided to go with Marcuss Hahnemann in goal instead of usual starter Michael Gspurning. Morten Andersen Womens Jersey. It was Hahnemanns third start this season. Dempseys header came close in the 14th minute but hit the crossbar, denying him of his first goal with the Sounders. A short time later, he was seen running to the sideline holding his left shoulder. He was briefly looked at by a trainer before heading back on the field. Dempsey came off again in the 27th minute and his shoulder was treated on the bench. He had just returned from a hamstring injury that has kept him out since Sept. 13, entering Wednesdays match against Vancouver in the 51st minute before starting against the Timbers. Schmid was concerned about the beating Dempsey has been taking. "You look at the times that Dempsey got fouled, thats gotta stop," the coach said. " The referees got to protect him, and they dont, and it doesnt matter if a foul is early in the game or late in the game." Alhassan doffed his jersey after his goal from the top of the box flew past Hahnemann, running to the corner and dancing for the fans before he was mobbed by his teammates. "I was excited," said Alhassan, who is from Ghana. It was his third goal this season. The match was heated throughout, but tempers flared after Portlands Darlington Nagbe was fouled in the 72nd minute. In the back-and-fourth between the two teams, Seattles Osvaldo Alonso elbowed Will Johnson and was sent off two minutes later with a red card. Alonso had to be pulled away from the officials by teammate Steve Zakuani before he left the field. Schmid also vociferously argued the ejection. Zakuanis had a shot that hit the crossbar in stoppage time, and defender Jack Jewsbury helped to stop and clear a rebound. "We hit the crossbar in the first half, we hit the crossbar again in the second half, even playing a man down. I didnt think we deserved to lose this game at all," Schmid said. " We deserved to come away with at least a tie." It was the third meeting this season between the two teams, but first in Portland. The first ended in a 1-1 draw and Seattle claimed the second 1-0. The Timbers have not earned a playoff berth since joining MLS in 2011. ' ' '
