ANAHEIM, Calif. https://www.cheapflames.com/" class="TyTxtSmlC">Wholesale Flames Jerseys . -- Chris Iannetta swung the bat like a guy who definitely didnt want to catch one more inning. Iannetta homered with two outs in the 12th against Drew Pomeranz, giving the Los Angeles Angels a 5-4 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night. It was his fourth career game-ending home run. "It never gets old -- your first one, your last one, whatever it may be. Its an awesome feeling," Iannetta said. Pomeranz (1-1) retired David Freese on a grounder to second base and Raul Ibanez on a foul pop to the catcher before Iannetta drove the next pitch to centre field and just out of the reach of a leaping Craig Gentry, ending Oaklands four-game winning streak. "I was just looking for a pitch to hit. It was a fastball over the middle of the plate and I got the barrel to it," Iannetta said. "I know I hit it really well. But Angel Stadium at night, you never know -- and Gentrys a really good outfielder. He almost jumped out of the gym on that one. I think it went off his glove, so I was very thankful that he didnt make an awesome play." Angels manager Mike Scioscia got six scoreless innings out of his much-maligned bullpen, as the Athletics stranded runners in scoring position in the 10th, 11th and 12th. Joe Smith (1-0), who failed to retire any of the five batters he faced in the eighth inning of the Angels 10-9 loss on Tuesday night, pitched a scoreless inning for the victory. "Joe came back from the night before and pitched great. He had life on all of his pitches again," Iannetta said. "Its awesome that he came back and pitched the way he did, along with the rest of the guys. They really stepped up and pitched to their capabilities and just showed what they can do." Brandon Moss hit a three-run homer for the As in the fourth inning. Oaklands Jed Lowrie poked an opposite-field double inside the third base bag with one out in the 10th, but Michael Kohn struck out Yoenis Cespedes after Lowrie advanced on Josh Donaldsons flyout to centre field. Oakland left-hander Tommy Milone was charged with three runs -- two earned -- and six hits over six-plus innings in his second start and departed with a 4-1 lead. Los Angeles closed to 4-3 in the seventh with a pair of runs after a costly throwing error by first baseman and former Angel Alberto Callaspo, who had never played that position in the majors or the minors until this season. Dan Otero relieved Milone with two on and none out and Erick Aybar grounded into a force at second. J.B. Shuck followed with a grounder to Callaspo, who tried to start an inning-ending 3-6-3 double play. But his hurried throw couldnt be handled by shortstop Nick Punto and Iannetta scored from third. Albert Pujols added an RBI single one out later. The Angels put runners at the corners in the ninth with one-out singles by Mike Trout and Pujols, and Trout scored the tying run on a slow fielders choice grounder to third by Howie Kendrick. "We went to the ninth inning with the lead, but you put it behind you and move on," manager Bob Melvin said. "We werent very good defensively tonight." Callaspo also dropped a relay throw from second baseman Eric Sogard on a potential double-play grounder in the sixth by Freese. But the next batter, Ibanez, grounded into a 4-6-3 DP to end the inning. The As snapped a 1-1 tie in the fourth against Tyler Skaggs when Moss drove a 2-1 pitch into the right-field seats with two outs for a three-run homer after Callaspos RBI double. Skaggs was charged with four runs, seven hits and three walks in six innings. NOTES: The Angels will honour the late Jim Fregosi during a two-game interleague series against Philadelphia Aug. 12-13. Fregosi, who died Feb. 14 at age 71, was a six-time All-Star who spent his first 11 big league seasons as an Angels SS and managed them to their first division title in 1979. He also piloted the Phillies to a pennant in 1993. ... This was the first time the Angels played four extra-inning games on the same homestand since June 1975. ... The As claimed RHP Marcus Walden off waivers from Toronto and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento. ... The Angels begin a nine-game road trip Friday night at Detroit.

The goals took Liverpools tally in the Premier League this season to 70, overtaking Manchester City as the top scorers, and left the fourth-place team just four points behind league leader Chelsea. However, manager Brendan Rodgers refused to be drawn on Liverpools title hopes. "I think for us, were concentrating on our performance," Rodgers said. "Were just concentrating on winning games. No one is really talking about us for the title anyway. Everything now is about Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal." Sturridges first came in the third minute when he received a through ball from Raheem Sterling before rounding Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm and firing into an open goal. The striker then provided the assist for Henderson to double Liverpools lead in the 20th from the edge of the area. Jonjo Shelvey pulled one back for Swansea against his former club three minutes later with a long-range strike that went in off the crossbar. He held his arm up in apology to his former club, a gesture that received applause from the Liverpool fans. But the home supporters were shocked into silence soon after when Wilfried Bony equalized in the 27th minute, with his header from Jonathaan De Guzmans free kick taking a slight deflection off Martin Skrtel. https://www.cheapflames.com/" class="TyTxtSmlC">Custom Calgary Flames Jerseys. Sturridge gave Liverpool a 3-2 lead at halftime when he headed in from close range after a Luis Suarez cross had found him unmarked. Swansea levelled soon after the interval though when Bony scored a penalty after being fouled by Skrtel. Suarez went close to restoring Liverpools lead but Vorm saved well when one-on-one with the striker before De Guzman nearly gave Swansea the lead when he shot just wide from a free kick. Henderson struck the winner after receiving a pass from Suarez. His initial shot was parried by Vorm but the England forward reacted quickest to poke the ball in from close range. Despite the victory, Rodgers is hoping to see an improved defensive display against Southampton next weekend. "At 2-0, we should manage the game better," Rodgers said. "We are obviously very disappointed with the goals we conceded." Swansea manager Garry Monk tried to take the positives out of the defeat. "I cant complain about the effort from my players," Monk said. "Going forward, I think its a confidence boost to them that they can come to somewhere like this - where a lot of people thought they would wipe the floor with us, the way theyve been dismantling teams here - and we were in the game right up until the final whistle."
