OAKLAND, Calif. -- Josh Hamilton has had a good final month to the season. He hopes it spills over into next year. Hamilton hit a tying two-run homer in the ninth inning then put the Angels ahead with a sacrifice fly in the 11th, leading Los Angeles over the Oakland Athletics 5-4 Wednesday. "I feel like I am having good at-bats even if the results arent always there," Hamilton said. "If I can build off this last month of quality at-bats, it would be good." Hamilton connected against Grant Balfour, who blew his third save of the season. Jesse Chavez (2-4) was the loser. Mike Trout connected for a two-run home run for the Angels, who won for the fourth time in five games. "No matter how long youve been playing, youre going to have confidence issues," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of Hamilton. "Were seeing it all come together the last month. Hes a terrific player who has struggled at times earlier in the season." Coco Crisp and Yoenis Cespedes each hit two-run home runs for the As, who lost for the third time in 12 games. But they have a six-game lead over Texas in the AL West. The Rangers play at Tampa Bay. Juan Gutierrez (1-4) pitched the 10th for the win. Ernesto Frieri worked the 11th for his 35th save in 39 chances. As starter A.J. Griffin gave up Trouts homer with one out in the first. He retired 17 of the last 18 batters he faced. "Hes good at baseball," Griffin said of Trout. "I was trying to get him to miss hit, but he got it." Griffin allowed two runs on one hit. He walked two and struck out six. "Im able to repeat my delivery more often," Griffin said. "I can get the ball and let it fly." Angels starter Jason Vargas allowed four runs on seven hits over six innings. He walked two and struck out five. "I felt good most of the day," Vargas said. "I left a changeup and fastball up to some guys who have hit a few long balls." J.B. Shuck doubled leading off the 11th against Chavez. Josh Donaldson mishandled Erick Aybars sacrifice bunt for an error, putting runners on first and third. After Trout flew out, Hamilton followed with a towering drive to the warning track in left field against Jerry Blevins that put the Angels ahead 5-4. "I wasnt trying to do too much except get it to the outfield," Hamilton said. Following Jed Lowries single leading off the fifth, the As were held to one hit the rest of the way. Griffin, who gave up his major league-leading 35th homer, faced three over the minimum. He walked leadoff hitter Shuck and got Aybar to fly out to centre ahead of Trouts 26th home run. The only other baserunner was Mark Trumbo, who walked with two outs in the fourth. Vargas hit Donaldson, who delivered the winning hit Tuesday night, sparking a warning to both teams from home plate umpire Jerry Meals. Donaldson waved it off. "Trout got hit pretty good last night," he said. "He might not have been throwing at me. Watching tape it looks like he comes inside to set up other pitches." Josh Reddick led off the third with a single. One out later, Crisp tied the score with a drive over the left field wall. Donaldson flew out but Lowrie followed with a single ahead of Cespedes 24th home run. NOTES: Trout homered in all three games of the series, the first time hes hit a homer in three straight. ...

Erik Gonzalez Jersey .com) - Generally you want to be the guy who replaces the guy who replaced the legend.Each week, TSN.ca takes a look at the top available players in fantasy football ahead of the weekly waiver deadline. Quarterbacks Josh McCown, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (at Chicago) Last Week: 15/23, 288 yards, 2 TDs McCown relied heavily Mike Evans last week against the Redskins and it worked wonders. McCown has thrown two touchdowns in back to back games and even ranked top-10 in fantasy points for quarterbacks. While McCown is not a strong QB1 option, you could do worse for a reach as he faces the far from intimidating Bears defence in Week 12. Ryan Mallett, Houston Texans (vs. Cincinnati) Last Week: 20/30, 211 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT Mallett was eased into the Texans offence as the team pounded the Browns with rookie Alfred Blue, but still threw two touchdowns in a winning effort. Mallett will be no more than a QB2 option against the Bengals in Week 12 as the Texans figure to have Arian Foster back in the lineup. However, as Mallet gains more confidence he offers high-upside down the stretch. Running Backs Jonas Gray, New England Patriots (vs. Detroit) Last Week: 38 carries, 199 yards, 4 TDs For years, the Patriots have frustrated fantasy owners with their unpredictable running back rotation. On Sunday, they took that frustration to a whole new level as Gray led all of fantasy in scoring while sitting on the waiver wire in 98 per cent of leagues. Gray appears to have likely solidified his role as the Patriots early-down back, but is likely best used as an RB2. He had no catches on Sunday and if he struggles against the tough front of the Lions this week, the Patriots will turn to Shane Vereen as a passing back. Tre Mason, St. Louis Rams (at San Diego) Last Week: 29 carries, 113 yards; one catch (two targets), one yard Tre Mason has slowly been gaining more carries in the Rams ‘hot-hand’ backfield for weeks. On Sunday, Mason emerged as the feature back for the team while torching the Broncos top-ranked run defence to the tune of 113 yards. While Mason’s rise has been well documented, he remains available in more than 50 per cent of leagues. Mason is likely a safer – though lower-upside – claim than Gray this week as a plug-and-play RB2. Latavius Murray, Oakland Raiders (vs. Kansas City) Last Week: Four carries, 43 yards; three catches (four targets) for 16 yards The Raiders turned to Murray in the second half of Sundays loss to the San Diego Chargers, benching Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew. Murray is worth adding as a stash as his role remains to be determined in the Raiders offence. However, Murray offers plenty of upside, he could quickly take over the starting role if he provides similiar results to Sunday. The Raiders will try once again for their first win on Thuursday against the Chiefs.dddddddddddd Wide Receivers Josh Gordon, Cleveland Browns (at Atlanta) Last week: Suspended Gordon, who led the NFL in receiving yards one year ago, will return this week after serving his 10-game suspension. The Cleveland Browns threw the ball a ridiculous 50 times against the Houston Texans and, had he been in the lineup, Gordon likely would have received a healthy share of those targets. Gordon is expected to re-enter the Browns offence as a starter this week and has a favourable matchup against the Falcons secondary. Doug Baldwin, Seattle Seahawks (at Arizona) Last Week: Six catches (nine targets), 45 yards, 1 TD The Seahawks passing attack has been anemic since trading Percy Harvin from the Jets, instead the offence has been relying on running the ball more than ever to move the chains. Against the Cardinals’ strong run defence, the Seahawks will likely have no choice but to throw the ball – likely to Baldwin. Due to the matchup, he’ll be a FLEX option in Week 12. Chris Hogan, Buffalo Bills (vs. New York Jets) Last Week: Seven catches (nine targets), 74 yards Hogan is emerging as Kyle Orton’s go-to guy as continues to check the ball down to slot-receiver Hogan and the Bills’ running backs. Due to the amount catches he’s compiling, Hogan is a worthy pickup PPR fantasy leagues, especially with a matchup against the Jets secondary looming. Hogan is available in 100 per cent of fantasy leagues. Tight Ends Coby Fleener, Indianapolis Colts (vs. Jacksonville) Last Week: Seven catches (seven targets), 144 yards Luck’s top tight end option Dwayne Allen left Sunday’s game in the second quarter with an ankle injuring, leaving Fleener as the No. 1 tight end. Fleener’s starred in the role as he hauled in all of his targets, while the Colts top receiving threats were shut down. Luck likely won’t be forced to turn to Fleener out of desperation again against the Jaguars secondary, but Fleener will have a good shot at a touchdown in a high-scoring game. Reports conflict on the severity of Allen’s injury, but Fleener could be worth a pickup regardless at fantasy’s weakest position. Andrew Quarless, Green Bay Packers (at Minnesota) Last Week: Two catches, 35 yards If you’re in desperate need of a tight end, Quarless is one name to look at. Though not a top option in the Packers lethal passing attack, he is atop the depth chart at tight end. Lining up on the majority of downs with an offence that finds the open man gives Quarless some fantasy relevance, but if you’re starting it will be touchdown-or-bust for points. Against the Vikings, Quarless will likely have chances to score as the Packers look to put 50 points for the third straight week.
