ARLINGTON, Texas -- Vernon Wells and the Los Angeles Angels showed AL West-leading Texas that they can slug the ball too. Keenan Lewis Saints Jersey . Wells hit the first of the Angels five solo homers -- four off starter C.J. Wilson -- and had an RBI triple as the Angels won 8-4 on Saturday night with Ervin Santana pitching on short rest. "We drove the ball out of the park today against a guy whos really been tough on us," manager Mike Scioscia said. "He usually has the ball down in the zone, but he had the ball up a little bit and we took advantage and swung the bats well." After losing the opener 11-7, the Angels got even in their last series this season at Rangers Ballpark and cut the division gap to two games. The finale is Sunday night, then the AL West front-runners dont play again until the final three games of the regular season on the West Coast. "Its still too early to focus on how many games youre up or back," Scioscia said. "We have a lot of baseball left after this series. But its important for us to win games. The fact that we won a game against a team were trying to catch, sure, that helps but theres a long road ahead of us." Mike Trout and Bobby Wilson, the last two hitters in the lineup, both went deep in the fourth off Wilson (13-6), who had never given up more than two homers in a game. Peter Bourjos also homered off the Texas starter. Santana (10-9) pitched with only three days rest for the first time in his career, and gave up four runs and four hits over seven innings. The right-hander struck out two, walked one, hit two batters and threw two wild pitches. "Theres always a first time for everything. I was prepared and kept focused. It was hot, but I just focused on doing my thing," Santana said. "I was 100 per cent positive and trusted my stuff." David Murphy homered for the Rangers (75-59), who have lost seven of 10 while their division lead dwindled from seven games over the Angels (72-60). After Texas loaded the bases with one out in the ninth off Jordan Walden, Hisanori Takahaski got his second save in five chances when he induced Murphy into a game-ending double play. Wilson had allowed only two homers over his previous 15 starts since May 31. After going 3-0 with a 1.37 ERA his previous four August starts allowing only four earned runs, the left-hander gave up six runs and 10 hits in five innings against the Angels. "The home run was working, the problem is I was the one giving them up," Wilson said. "I feel like its kind of a weird thing. I dont even really know what to think about that. I just, I was aiming down and the ball was going up. Thats what happens sometimes." Howie Kendrick greeted Koji Uehara, the second Texas reliever, with a leadoff homer in the seventh. The five homers matched the season high for Los Angeles. Wells put the Angels ahead to stay in the second when his 18th homer made it 1-0. He finished 2 for 4 after an RBI triple in the seventh, and is 9 for 17 his last five games. "Ive made some adjustments, a few changes, and Ive been able to be a little more aggressive. Im in a more balanced position," Wells said. "Weve got to get this thing together to win enough ball games to be in it in October." Torii Hunter had an RBI single in the third before the back-to-back homers in the fourth -- the third for Trout, the youngest player in the majors at 20 years old and 20 days, and the first for Bobby Wilson in his 43 games this season. After Bourjos hit his ninth homer to start the fifth, Kendrick singled and eventually scored on a single by Erick Aybar. Wells made the final out of the inning when he ran from second and started to go home on Trouts infield single. Shortstop Elvis Andrus threw to catcher Mike Napoli, who ran down Wells and tagged him as both fell down facedown, side-by-side near third base. Before they got up, Wells reached over and patted his former teammate on the back. Santana hit Napoli on the left wrist with a pitch in the sixth. Napoli twisted back and fell to his knees in obvious pain, but stayed in the game. Ian Kinsler got hit by a pitch leading off the fourth before Andrus drew a walk. Michael Young had a sacrifice fly and Napoli an RBI single. Nelson Cruz had a leadoff single in the fifth before Murphys seventh homer. Murphy hit a grand slam Friday to help the Rangers jump out to an 11-0 lead. Notes: It was the fourth homer in five games for Kendrick, who has 13 this season. ... The ceremonial first pitch was thrown out by the teenage son of a Dallas firefighter who died after falling through the roof of a burning structure. Christian band Mercy Me, which also did a pre-game concert, wore Dallas Fire Department T-shirts while singing the National Anthem. ... Like Santana on Saturday, Jered Weaver (15-6) starts with only three days rest for the first time in his career in Sundays finale. Colby Lewis (11-9) starts for Texas. Archie Manning Jersey . The loss completed Ottawas opening round series victory and sent the Northeast Division-winning Habs to the dressing room to pack after just five games. Cheap Rickey Jackson Jersey . Fielding questions after the announcement, Yzerman noted that the brain trust had to take a chance on Stamkos being healthy, since they would be unable to add him to the roster later on. "If hes healthy hes one of the 25 best players, obviously, in Canada," Yzerman said after the roster announcement. http://www.thenflsaintsonline.com/Youth-Archie-Manning-Elite-Jersey/ . The 37-year-old Souray had not suited up for a single game for the Ducks this season after scoring seven goals and 10 assists in 44 with Anaheim in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season.ROME -- Mario Balotelli set a personal record with his 14th goal of the Serie A season and set up another score as AC Milan beat visiting Livorno 3-0 Saturday for its fifth straight win. Still, Milan remained five points behind city rival Inter Milan in the race for fifth place and the final Europa League berth, after Inter beat 10-man Parma 2-0. Meanwhile, Paul Pogba led the way as Juventus stayed on course for a third consecutive title with a 1-0 win over relegation-threatened Bologna. Pogba, the France international and former Manchester United midfielder, scored with a long, low shot from beyond the area in the 64th minute. Juve remained eight points ahead of second-place Roma, which won 1-0 at fourth-place Fiorentina with a 26th-minute goal from Radja Nainggolan. Former Fiorentina forward Adem Ljajic set up the goal by evading a bunch of defenders and slipping the ball through to Nainggolan. With 90 points and four matches remaining, Juventus has a chance to become the first Serie A club to break the 100-point barrier. Inter set the record of 97 in 2007. Serie A began awarding three points for wins in the 1994-95 season and the current 20-club format was instituted in 2003-04. Roma secured second place and a direct Champions League berth. At the San Siro, Balotelli scored with a textbook header from the centre of the area in the 43rd following a cross from Kevin Constant. Midfielder Adel Taarabt doubled Milans lead in the 51st after dribbling past a defender, and substitute Giampaolo Pazzini finished off in the 84th after taking a pass from Balotelli that left him with only the goalkeeper to beat. Balotellis previous best output was 13 goals, with Manchester City in 2011-12, and City and Milaan combined last season. Womens Vonn Bell Jersey. "Hes improving and maturing mentally and that permits him to do better on and off the pitch," new Milan coach Clarence Seedorf said. It was also Balotellis 18th goal in all competitions this season, another personal record, which should give the striker confidence entering the World Cup as Italys leader in attack. "Im happy to have reached the record but I have to improve, because there are players that score 40 in a season," said Balotelli, who did not celebrate after his goal. The win was also a relief for Seedorf, amid reports his job was at risk. "I didnt know anything about that," Balotelli said. "The coach has given a big hand to the squad. ... But this is still nothing. Its just a great result. Were playing to qualify for the Europa League." After the loss, relegation-threatened Livorno fired Domenico Di Carlo and rehired Davide Nicola as manager. Elsewhere, third-place Napoli was held to 1-1 at Udinese, while Torino and Lazio remained level eighth after a wild 3-3 draw that saw Ciro Immobile score his league-leading 20th goal. Also, it was: Atalanta 1, Hellas Verona 2; Catania 2, Sampdoria 1; Chievo Verona 0, Sassuolo 1; and Genoa 1, Cagliari 2. In Parma, Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic stopped a penalty from Antonio Cassano by tipping it off the post in the 44th. The hosts were then reduced to 10 men when Italy international Gabriel Paletta picked up his second yellow card in first half added time for a foul on Rodrigo Palacio. Defender Rolando put Inter ahead in the 48th with a header, and substitute Fredy Guarin sealed the victory by scoring on his first touch in the 89th from beyond the area.
