ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Mike Trout was rested, and Albert Pujols was limited to a single in six at-bats.That didnt slow the Los Angeles Angels offense, which scored in double digits for the second time in four game.C.J. Cron homered twice and drove in four runs, and the Angels overcame another shaky start by Tim Lincecum to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 13-5 on Tuesday night for just their third win in 15 games.Its always fun scoring runs, Cron said. It would be nice if we could maybe string a few in a row, but you take `em when you can get `em.Cron had a solo shot off Jake Odorizzi (3-4) during a four-run second and a three-run drive against Enny Romero in a six-run ninth, his second multihomer game in four days. He had six hits, including a pair of homers, in Saturdays 21-2 win at Boston.Andrelton Simmons had three RBI, including a two-run double in a three-run sixth.Reliever Deolis Guerra (2-0) pitched 1 1/3 perfect innings.Odorizzi, winless in 10 starts at home this season, gave up seven runs and nine hits in 5 1/3 innings for the Rays, who have lost 17 of 20.Overall, not a very productive night for any of us, Rays manager Kevin Cash said.Nick Franklin gave Tampa Bay a 5-4 lead in the fifth on a two-run single off Lincecum, who allowed five runs and a career-high tying 10 hits over 4 2/3 innings.

I thought I would have ironed some things out by now, but obviously Ive been here for a long time and Ive got to find my way out of it, Lincecum said.Logan Morrison had a solo shot in a two-run third for the Rays.The Angels had a couple gaffes early on.Steven Souza Jr. tripled in the third when his fly ball dropped between outfielders Shane Robinson and Kole Calhoun. Souza scored on Corey Dickersons infield single.Souza was replaced by Brandon Guyer in center field to start the fourth. Cash said Souza is not hurt but declined to give specifics.Souza said he was pulled for not running hard the whole play.I think the bottom line is I play hard, but right there I didnt play very hard, Souza said. I got caught slippin and took for granted a routine play. Yeah, I got to third, but I could have easily scored if I was running hard. Its a bit embarrassing. Im not proud of it.Franklin went from second to third in the fourth when catcher Carlos Perez was charged with an error for overthrowing Lincecum after a pitch. Franklin was thrown out at the plate attempting to score on Hank Congers grounder.TIME OFF FOR TROUTTrout had his stretch of starting 145 consecutive games end.

Nike Air Max 90 Pas Cher Livraison Gratuite . After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual. Getting set to go their separate ways for a short Christmas break, the Raptors coach credited his team for their effort on a seemingly impossible three-game road trip, urging them to build on that success when they get back to work at the end of the week. Rilee Rossouw was called up to South Africas ODI squad as a replacement for the injured AB de Villiers, ahead of the match against Ireland at the end of last month. He ended up replacing an ill Hashim Amla at the start of the Australia series last week. To say that Rossouw had big boots to fill is not an understatement. But try two fifties in two matches on for size, and it seems Rossouw could be a perfect fit.So, why the in-house handwringing from captain Faf du Plessis, who said he wanted Amla back in the XI but the selectors decided otherwise? Hashim averages 52 in one-day cricket, so, for me, you can never replace that, du Plessis said. And if you miss one game for the flu, then its always the respect that youre given to come back into the team. So, if it was my decision, I would definitely bring him back, and the same with the coach, but the selectors felt the combination at the top was working really well.Perhaps, the stand-in captain just wants protocol to take precedence, and it seems he is not the only one. Television and social media commentators were aghast at Amlas omission on Sunday, and there is every indication that he will be back for the third ODI. And where will that leave Rossouw, mentally and literally? When we had our team culture camp, we spoke about our playing bubble. People can say what they want to say, as long as it doesnt affect how we are going about our proceedings and how we play, Rossouw said. If Hashim comes back and I am playing, I will probably slot into the middle order.Rossouw has batted at Nos. 4-7 in 18 of the 33 ODIs he has played, and come out at No. 3 eight times, so he is most familiar outside the top two but more successful in it. In the seven matches in which Rossouw has opened, he has averaged 39.57 - compared to an overall average of 35.53 - and scored one of his two hundreds and two of his seven fifties. He admitted he prefers getting to the crease as early as possible, and that the constant shifting up and down the order is challenging but possible with proper preparation.I dont mind anywhere in the top of the order. I prefer the new ball, while the Powerplay is still on so I can pierce the field and play good cricket shots, he said. Its very difficult to change batting positions. Its about how you prepare for where you are going to bat. If your preparation is good enough for the scenariio out there, then your execution should follow.ddddddddddddRossouw was fairly pleased with his execution so far in this series, barring the failure to get to three figures. I am quite disappointed in that. In the first game, the reverse sweep is my shot, so if I go out to that, it is hard lines, but its my shot, he said. I am more disappointed with the way I went out at the Wanderers. It was quite soft.At Centurion, Rossouw was out lbw, attempting a reverse sweep off the first ball he faced from Adam Zampa. At the Wanderers, he miscued a pull shot, and though the selection of both strokes is questionable, Rossouw insisted the second one was worse because he played it when he was closer to his century. I have been hard on myself for that. I pride myself in making the most runs that I can. So 75 is all right, its good, but I am more interested in the three figures.Without a hundred, Rossouw knows it will be more difficult to keep his place, especially in a line-up that should welcome Amla back at some stage, and with a crammed middle order. Du Plessis and JP Duminy have both found their touch, leaving little for David Miller and Farhaan Behardien to do, and Rossouw will have to displace one of them if he moves down. Its a tough gig, because if you are not performing, theres a guy that can do the same job as you, if not better, he said. When you put on that shirt, you want to perform and do your best because you know theres someone else who can take your spot.At least South Africa have the problem of plenty, unlike their opposition, who now face three must-win matches if they are to win the series. Although Australia have appeared a little flat so far, Rossouw expects them to surge back, especially when they hear of South Africas intention to close out the series with two games to spare.If they dont bounce back, then they dont deserve to be the best team in the world. I am sure they will come out fighting with big swings, and its up to us how we will counter-punch, he said. The guys had two serious performances and we are ready for the third game tomorrow, and we want to wrap it up. Australia are the best team in the world. If you give them a sniff, they come back hard. We want to finish this series tomorrow. ' ' '
