ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels have brought some fun back to Angel Stadium. All it took was two series.Jefry Marte hit a three-run homer and the Angels shut down a late rally by the AL West-leading Texas Rangers in a 7-4 win Wednesday night that gave Los Angeles a three-game sweep.It was the second straight sweep for the Angels, who won their season-best sixth in a row and moved out of last place in the AL West.Were having fun and thats what we said a couple weeks ago: Just go into the second half, try to have fun and lets see what happens, starter Hector Santiago said. Right now its working.Whats happening for Los Angeles is greater offensive production than the team has seen all season. The Angels have scored a league-high 110 runs in July, matching their total from June with 10 games left to play this month.Albert Pujols had two hits and scored twice to spur the offense on Wednesday, while Yunel Escobar had two RBI and Marte hit his sixth home run.Its much more fun when youre scoring runs and winning, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. Its going to look like you have a lot more life.The Rangers rallied in the ninth inning when Ian Desmond homered, Adrian Beltre doubled and Ryan Rua singled to put runners on the corners with two outs. The rally fell short when Rougned Odor flew out to left field.Desmond went with 2 for 4 with the home run and Mitch Moreland hit his 13th homer, a solo shot to lead off the fourth inning. Desmonds homer came with two outs in the ninth off Huston Street, his team-leading 18th this season.This is a club thats not going to quit, they always continue to play, Rangers manager Jeff Bannister said. We were one more hit away, one more baserunner away from putting a little bit of pressure on their closer. Rua, I thought, put a pretty good swing on the ball and just missed it.The Angels got a run in the first inning before Marte connected on a 3-0 fastball from Martin Perez for a three-run homer. Escobar then drove Johnny Giavotella home with a single to right in the second inning, putting Los Angeles up 5-0.Santiago (8-4) pitched five innings for his third straight win, yielding three earned runs on five hits. His 24-inning scoreless streak ended in the third inning, when the Rangers scored twice to cut the Los Angeles lead to 5-3.He struggled with fastball command all night, Scioscia said. Maybe instead of pitching his way out with a changeup or changing speeds, he kept trying to throw harder. .. He settled in and made better pitches as he went on but it just didnt seem like he got in sync tonight.The Rangers scored in the third when Beltre tripled home Desmond and then scored on Ruas sacrifice fly.But Perezs shaky command resulted in another run for the Angels in the third. With runners on second and third and Jett Bandy at the plate, Perezs appeared to wobble in his delivery and was called for a balk, scoring Pujols.Perez (7-7) lost his third decision in as many games, giving up seven earned runs for the second time in July.The Rangers have gone 4-14 since June 28.TRAINERS ROOMRangers: 1B Prince Fielder and LF Shin-Soo Choo were both placed on the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday. Fielder was diagnosed with a herniated disk in his neck and Choo has been dealing with inflammation in his lower back. Infielder Hanser Alberto and outfielder Delino Shields were called up from Triple-A Round Rock to fill their roster spots.Angels: LHP Tyler Skaggs made his final start for Triple-A Salt Lake, completing his rehab from his 2014 Tommy John surgery. Skaggs threw 94 pitches over 5 2/3 innings, gave up one hit, walking three and striking out 12. Hes expected to rejoin the team later this week.UP NEXTRangers: RHP Yu Darvish will make his second start since coming off the disabled list Friday in Kansas City. Darvish, who is 2-1 with a 3.15 ERA in four starts this season, was on the DL from June 13 until July 16 with right shoulder discomfort.Angels: RHP Matt Shoemaker will take the hill in Houston following the Angels day off. The AL pitcher of the week is coming off his first complete game and shutout and is 1-1 with a 2.08 ERA in three starts against the Astros this season. Butch Goring Kings Jersey .

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- For Tyreek Hill, each burst of speed and every impressive catch offer another chance to change the questions he faces.The Kansas City Chiefs rookie will never escape the sordid details of his past, but hes here now and ready to earn a spot on the roster.Hill continues to impress on the field during the early portions of training camp, including a highlight-reel catch he made getting past NFL defensive rookie of the year Marcus Peters on Tuesday. The reasons for success on the field cant be ignored.Hes fast, Peters said. But its fun. Thats the competition we need. Thats that explosiveness were going to need from him in the season.The Chiefs selected Hill in the fifth round of the draft. A year ago, Hill had pleaded guilty to abusing and strangling his girlfriend and was kicked off the Oklahoma State football team over the 2014 incident. He spent last season at West Alabama, where he juggled school and football with counseling sessions and other court-mandated service work. His probation isnt scheduled to end until 2018.The Chiefs faced some backlash from fans over the pick. For his part, Hill insists interactions with fans so far have remained cordial.The fans have been great, Hill said. Just signing autographs.The Chiefs list him at wide receiver, and he wears No. 81 but he has experience running the ball and in the return game.(Hes) a good a football player, Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub said. Im not surprised by (what he does), but the guys that are going against him are surprised by it. Because you can see it. They think they have an angle, and then all of a sudden -- bam -- they dont. Hes also got the ability to change speeds. Hell show you one speed and then all of a sudden he has another gear.Hill started his career at Garden City (Kan.) Community College before going on to Oklahoma State. While with the Cowboys, he amassed more than 1,800 total yards in his lone season. His 996 total return yards were second in Division I and included a 92-yard punt return vs. Oklahoma that eventually set up a monumental overtime win. Five days later, Hill found himself in jail.ddddddddddddills contributions at West Alabama were more mundane, but the obvious speed, which helped him win a pair of medals running sprints in the 2012 World Junior Track and Field Championships, never went away.Peters, a first-round pick who recorded eight picks and returned two for touchdowns last year, entered the league with his own questions about his character only to become an immediate star. He offered some simple advice for Hill.Stay humble; stay hungry, Peters said. Because when the lights come on, you get to have a lot more fun. Hes a real energetic person, likes to dance and do all those things, so I just tell him to stay hungry and his times going to come.On the play in Tuesdays practice, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith threw deep down the right sideline to find Hill a few steps behind Peters. Hill reeled in the catch and gave one excited fan a quick high-five in celebration.Peters told Hill: Good job, rookie.The Chiefs depth at wide receiver behind star Jeremy Maclin seems to be fluid entering the first preseason game. Frankie Hammond and Albert Wilson have a lot of experience, although Wilson missed practice Wednesday. In addition, the Chiefs added intriguing free agent veterans Mike Williams and Rod Streeter.Ive always been told, `Act like youve been there before, Hill said, so its just another moment in my life. Just make a play. When its your turn, just make a play.The opportunity to just be a rookie in training camp doesnt seem lost on Hill at this point. He knows he needs to stay on track in his personal life and see if his talent can continue to shine beyond practice.To me, it still doesnt mean nothing, Hill said. Im just like everybody else. Ive got to get better each and every day. Thats my biggest thing: just staying focused, staying in the playbook, listening to the vets and doing what the coaches tell me to do.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
