ST. David Sharpe Womens Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A misplayed ball helped keep the playoff-hopeful Tampa Bay Rays in a little funk. Erick Aybar drove in four runs and the Los Angeles Angels rallied from a late four-run deficit to beat the Rays 6-5 on Tuesday night. Jose Molina had three hits and three RBIs for Tampa Bay, which has lost three in a row. The Rays, leading the AL wild-card race, are 2 1/2 games behind AL East-leading Boston. "To permit that many runs late, weve done that way too many times," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Weve got to stop doing that." Tampa Bay has blown 15 leads this year in the seventh inning or later, and this is the 12th time it has lost such a game. Aybar hit a two-run double off closer Fernando Rodney (5-4) to put the Angels up 6-5 in the ninth. "With a pitcher like Fernando you dont want to think too much," Aybar said. "Just look for a pitch in the zone and make contact." Peter Bourjos stole second and went to third when centre fielder Desmond Jennings dropped J.B. Shucks fly ball for a two-base error. Aybar then followed with the key hit. "I just missed it," Jennings said. "It hit the tip of my glove." It was just Jennings second error over the past two seasons. "It was really strange," Maddon said. "The last thing youd expect would be for that to happen." Aybar also had a two-run single during a three-run seventh that made it 5-4. "Aybar hurt us," Maddon said. The Rays entered with the majors best record, at 37-13, against teams under .500 this season, according to STATS. The Angels (59-71) have a four-game winning streak. After Ernesto Frieri (2-4) pitched a scoreless eighth, Dane De La Rosa got the final three outs for his second save. Tampa Bay went up 3-1 during the fifth on Molinas third straight hit off C.J. Wilson, a two-run double. James Loney made it 5-1 with a two-run single in the sixth. Molina entered 0 for 13 against Wilson. Roberto Hernandez allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings. He left with two on and no outs in the seventh. Jake McGee entered and gave up a run-scoring grounder to Shuck and Aybars two-run single that got the Angels within 5-4. Wilson, who had gone 5-0 over his previous eight starts, gave up three runs, eight hits and five walks over five innings. "We score runs and weve got a lot of guys that are hungry and want to do some damage in these last few weeks of the season," Wilson said. "Tampa Bays on their way to playoffs, possibly, and if we can cause any disruptions, thats really the only thing we can do right now." Mike Trout tied it at 1 in the fourth on his 23rd home run this season. It was his second homer in six at-bats against Hernandez, who struck out Trout with two on and two outs one inning later. Molina put Tampa Bay up 1-0 on an RBI double in the second. Wilson avoided a big inning by getting an inning-ending bases-loaded fly ball from Ben Zobrist. Tampa Bays Wil Myers popped out with the bases loaded and two outs in the fourth. NOTES: Tampa Bay optioned struggling RHP Jeremy Hellickson to Class A Charlotte for extra rest. He is not expected to pitch in the minors and should rejoin the Rays early next month. ... Angels INF Howie Kendrick (left knee) continues running and taking grounders. "We definitely expect him to play this year," manager Mike Scioscia said. ... Wilson tripped running out to pitch in the second and fell to the ground between the third base line and the mound. ... Tampa Bay All-Star LHP Matt Moore (sore left elbow) will make his scheduled rehab start Thursday with Triple-A Durham. He could rejoin the rotation on Sept. 3. ... The Rays plan to recall RHP Jake Odorizzi from Durham to start Thursday against the Angels. LHP David Price will have his start pushed back one day to Friday at Oakland. ... Rays DH Luke Scott (lower back spasms) will join Durham for a rehab assignment Wednesday.

Dickey earned an American League Gold Glove on Tuesday to become the first Toronto Blue Jays pitcher to win the award.With an impressive showing as a member of Canadas Fed Cup team over the weekend, Blainville, Quebecs Aleksandra Wozniak reflects on her play and her preparation for Roland Garros in her personal blog on RDS.ca and TSN.ca. --- We took advantage of the opportunity to advance to World Group I at the Fed Cup for the first time in history by beating Slovakia last weekend, so were off to play next season as one of eight finalists in February! Playing at PEPS Stadium at Laval University, the facility was expanded to accommodate 3,500 people. While the stands werent completely filled as they were in Montreal last February, that didnt hold back the great atmosphere. People were encouraging us, shouting out our names and having fun on each point (though I had a very long match where I had to battle until the very end). My family and my friends were also among the crowd and it was really fun to learn as much as I did there. It wasnt just about me as I was playing - it was about playing for my country and all of those watching. The viewing public is important and I dont want to disappoint them, but I wasnt really dwelling on that kind of pressure at the time. I tried to stay in the present moment and simply enjoy the energy to try to give a good show and play a good game. Its always very important to do my best to win. People were just happy to be there and support us and it made for a crazy weekend! Just before the tournament, we spent several days training together in Quebec City and we had our official team dinner on Thursday night. We also took the time to work with Iris Setlakwe, as the fashion designer helped dress us for this special event (as was the case a couple of months ago in Montreal). We also got acquainted with other players and sponsors - a tradition followed by every delegation during the Fed Cup. It was also at this time that we did our traditional gift exchange. Our gift for the Slovaks - maple syrup! Never Give Up It was a bit hard early on in my opening match when I lost the first set. David Sharpe Raiders Jersey. Jana Cepelova, ranked 52nd in the world, was very tough and had lots of confidence after a strong performance in Charleston. This is a player who went to the net a lot and never hit the same ball. Shes already beaten good players like Serena Williams and has the ability to change speeds during a point. She can make three rhythm changes by alternating her slice, or cushioning her forehand before suddenly attacking with lots of force and precision in the corners. Its not easy to guage a girl like this, as she was very gifted. That being said, it was necessary for me to raise my game up a notch and find my pace to reverse the trend. As this was the first time I was facing Cepelova, I was trying to get a read on her game at the start. It took me a little while, because it was not easy adjusting to the ball. I was hooked as I tried to avoid my earlier mistakes while trying to force errors. In short, it was a physical and mental challenge, coming back twice - in the second and third sets - as she was serving for the match. And that first victory on Day 1 was very important to set the tone for the competition. And all this time, captain Sylvain Bruneau was at my side to motivate me, telling me to remember what I should do and to always be alert. Its good to have the opportunity to rely on a coach and his advice during a match. In other tournaments, you cant ask for that much help so frequently. Finally, my next next Grand Slam stop is at Roland Garros. The challenge will be to adapt to the change from hard surface to clay. Ill be in full preparation this week in Montreal, playing on the clay courts of Uniprix Stadium at Jarry Park. Ill then fly off to Cagnes-sur-Mer in France, for the qualifications next week and then make a stop in Prague before the qualifications for the Internationaux de France - which begins on May 21. https://www.facebook.com/WozAlekshttp://www.aleksandrawozniak.com/Twitter @alekswoz Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
