OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels and Oakland Athletics will attempt to keep beating up upon each other when they square off on the second night of a three-game series Tuesday.The Angels won at Oakland for the sixth time in seven games this season when they pounded out 14 hits in a 10-7 victory in the series opener Monday.All nine starting position players got into the hitting act as the Angels moved four games ahead of the As in the battle for last place in the American League West.Cole Calhoun homered, C.J. Cron extended his hitting streak to a career-high 12 games and Albert Pujols ran his streak to 11 straight in the win. But it was Mike Trout who once again led the way, recording three singles after hed been hit by a pitch in the first inning.Trout has recorded three or more hits in six of his last 11 games, and is hitting .453 (24-for-53) over his last 15 games.Trout, Jefry Marte and Jeff Bandy all got hit by pitches in a wild -- and testy -- first inning, the first of As right-hander Raul Alcantaras career.Pujols had words with As catcher Bruce Maxwell after almost getting beaned by Alcantaras first pitch after the one that struck Trout on the elbow, and home plate umpire Vic Carapazza got an earful from the Angels bench later in the inning, prompting a meeting between the ump and LA manager Mike Scioscia as his team took the field.As manager Bob Melvin felt compelled to share words with Carapazza after Oaklands half of the first inning, trying to get an explanation as to what was angering the Angels.He wasnt trying to hit guys, but he hit three of our guys, Scioscia explained. Of course theres going to be back and forth.Alcantara lasted only three innings, forcing Melvin to use Tuesdays projected starter, Ross Detwiler, in long relief.That pushed Zach Neal into Tuesdays start.Neal has never started against the Angels. Nor has he allowed them any runs over 4 1/3 innings in two relief appearances.But hell be facing an Angels team thats homered in 11 straight games, with Kole Calhoun adding to that total on Monday.The As countered Calhouns shot with two of their own Monday, with Khris Davis belting his 35th of the season and Danny Valencia his 16th.That raised Oaklands total to 19 in 13 games against the Angels this season.Angels right-hander Ricky Nolasco will seek to end that streak Tuesday. He not only did not allow a homer, but also didnt allow a run in his last start, a 3-0 shutout win over the Cincinnati Reds last Wednesday.Valencia, Ryon Healy and Max Muncy all homered off Nolasco the last time the As saw him, on Aug. 4. Oakland scored twice in the 10th against the Angels bullpen to win that one 8-6.If Tuesdays game comes down to bullpens, the As will have one of their most trustworthy arms at their disposal.Left-hander Sean Doolittle made his first appearance since June 25 with a scoreless, two-strikeout inning Monday.Last place or not, hes excited to be back.I did a pretty good job of controlling my energy level, but it was definitely an adrenaline rush, he said of his seventh-inning return. I really appreciated the ovation from the crowd. That gave me goosebumps for sure. Wholesale Jerseys From China .

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons defense has made plenty of rookie mistakes. No surprise there, given all the first-year players theyve put on the field.The Falcons have started as many as four rookies at times this season, and the youth movement doesnt end there. Four other regulars have been playing in the NFL only two seasons, signaling an entirely new direction for the often-maligned unit.Coach Dan Quinn wasnt at all hesitant about sending out so many young players.We knew there would be some growing pains with certain techniques and certain things that you have to go through, Quinn said Thursday. But I didnt have concerns with it. Otherwise, I wouldnt have put them in. I felt like they had earned it and were ready to go.Atlanta ranks 28th in both points (26.5 per game) and yards (376.3) allowed, but thats nothing new. The Falcons have traditionally struggled on defense, rarely placing among the NFLs elite units.Now, at least, there are plenty of reasons to be hopeful.Quinn said the improvement has been evident in recent weeks as the Falcons (8-5) make a push for their first playoff berth since 2012. They host the woeful San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, coming off perhaps their best defensive performance of the season.In a 42-14 rout of the Los Angeles Rams, the Falcons defense chalked up a pair of touchdowns -- one off an interception, another off a fumble recovery -- and came up with another big interception to halt a drive deep in Atlanta territory.It really starts with communication -- how good can you get at that? Quinn said. Not only do you know your own assignments, but youre able to share some of the information pre-snap. Over the last two weeks, Ive really seen them ramp up that communication, where the information is getting back and forth.Up front, Vic Beasley -- a first-round pick in 2015 -- has emerged as a dominant pass rusher with 13.5 sacks, tied for the league lead with Denvers Von Miller. Another second-year player, Grady Jarrett, is a key contributor on the interior line.The linebacking corps includes a pair of rookie starters, second-round pick Deion Jones and fourth-rounder DeVondre Campbell. They have drastically improved the speed and athleticism of that group, which was especially evident when Jones returned aan interception for a 33-yard touchdown against the Rams.dddddddddddd.Four youngsters are playing key roles in the secondary, including rookie strong safety Keanu Neal and free safety Ricardo Allen, whos in his second season on the 53-man roster after spending a year on the practice squad. Jalen Collins, another second-year player, moved into a starting role at cornerback after a season-ending injury to Desmond Trufant. Undrafted rookie Brian Poole has made six starts as the nickel back.We have a really significant role on this team, Neal said. But I feel like weve handled it well.When Quinn arrived, it was clear the Falcons needed a major upgrade after ranking last in yards allowed in 2014. Theyve addressed that glaring weakness mainly through the draft, devoting six of nine picks in the first five rounds to defensive players.All of them are either full-time starters or a big part of the playing rotation. Their impact is evident in the statistics, where they account for 56 percent of the tackles, 59 percent of the sacks, 67 percent of the interceptions and 73 percent of the forced fumbles.Jones said he feels like a completely different player than the guy who started in Week 1.Ive still got room to grow, he said. But I can say Im starting to know the game more and more. Its been a fun experience to see myself grow as a player.That certainly bodes well for the future.The present doesnt look so bad, either.We dont look at them as young guys anymore, Quinn said. We just look at them as ballplayers who are ready to play.Game notes WR Julio Jones (sprained toe) missed another practice and its still not known if hell be able to play Sunday after sitting out last weeks game. ... WR Mohamed Sanu (groin) was listed as limited for the second day in a row. ... Also missing practice: CB Jalen Collins (knee); S Kemal Ishmael (knee); S Robenson Therezie (ankle); WR Nick Williams (concussion); and DE Adrian Clayborn (knee).---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .
