ARLINGTON, Texas -- Right-hander Yu Darvish was a spectator last year when the
Texas Rangers lost to the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Division
Series.
Pedro Chelsea Jersey UK .Darvish missed the
entire 2015 season while he was recovering from Tommy John surgery. Now Darvish
is all the way back and hoping to help the Rangers win their first World Series
title.Hell have a chance to help Friday when he starts a pivotal Game 2 of the
ALDS against the Jays and 20-game winner J.A. Happ. After Thursdays 10-1 loss
the Rangers are now 1-10 in ALDS history in games at Globe Life Park.They
desperately need a strong outing from Darvish to turn the series around and
avoid going to Toronto down 0-2. Darvish, who went 7-5 in the regular season, is
eager to pitch in his first playoff game since he got the nod for Texas in the
wild-card game in 2013.Last year I couldnt pitch, Darvish said. I wanted to
pitch but I couldnt. And this year Im physically healthy and Im ready. I can
pitch in the game. So Im happy about that.The Rangers need Darvish to pitch like
his did to end the season. Over his final two starts, Darvish allowed just one
earned run in 13 innings. He gave up five hits and struck out 21.The last few
years Ive been working on my command, Darvish said. Maybe I was overthinking it.
I was thinking too much about commanding my stuff. And then I was able to fix
those mental adjustments and just a few minor mechanical changes on those days
that I was able to work on. And Im in a good place right now.While Darvish has
been considered an ace since he joined the Rangers in 2012, hes never had a
20-win season like Happ did this year for the Blue Jays. Happ went 20-4 for
Toronto, reaching the 20-win mark for the first time in his career.Hes a key
reason Toronto made the postseason, and now hell be pitching in the postseason
for the first time since he was pitching for Philadelphia in 2009.He spent three
years with Toronto from 2012-2014 but had nowhere near the success hes had this
year. He won a total of 19 games in his first stint.He kind of reinvented
himself, Toronto manager John Gibbons said. He was always considered kind of a
power pitcher, a lot of strikeouts, throw a lot of pitches, five innings,
100-plus pitches was nothing to him. Thats just the way he worked. Hes a control
guy now. And hes got some power behind it too.This version of Happ faced the
Rangers earlier this year and was dominant, giving up one run on six hits in a
victory. He doesnt plan on changing up his game plan for Texas on Friday
either.I think the biggest thing is to keep my mentality the same and thats to
be aggressive, Happ said. I think youre always searching for maybe tinkering
with a few things to make certain pitches a little better or maybe trying to
come up a new pitch that can work for you. But keep that same aggressive
mentality, and I think that will be huge for me going forward.
Cesar Azpilicueta Jersey UK . After a replay,
the winner will meet Sunderland in the quarterfinals. Sagbo did well to control
Sone Alukos right cross and fire past Brighton goalkeeper Peter Brezovan. Aluko
was making his first start in four months after recovering from an Achilles
injury.
Gary Cahill Jersey UK . "I dont know that
were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I just think, right now,
the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us right now. I dont know if I can
quantify how far off or things like that that they might be but I would say we
continue to have dialogue.

.C. -- Todd Fiddler scored a hat trick, including the overtime goal, as the
Prince George Cougars survived an 8-7 win against the Kamloops Blazers in
Western Hockey League play Sunday. CLEVELAND -- C.J. Wilson might not have been
at his best, though he was good enough for the Los Angeles Angels to gain
another victory. Wilson pitched 5 1-3 innings and won his fourth consecutive
decision as the Angels beat Cleveland 7-2 on Saturday night, sending the Indians
to their sixth straight loss. Asked to describe his outing, in which he allowed
two runs despite giving up seven hits, walking four and hitting a batter, Wilson
used the word "arduous." Angels manager Mike Scioscia agreed with his pitcher.
"It was a tough night for C.J.," he said. "Grind is the right word, but he got
some key outs with guys in scoring position. They had baserunners the whole
night, it seemed. He had to work really hard." Wilson (12-6) recorded his eighth
win in his last 11 decisions. The left-hander hasnt lost since July 5.
Ubaldo Jimenez (8-7) allowed three runs in 6 1-3 innings for the reeling
Indians, who committed a season-high four errors and trail Detroit by eight
games in the American League Central. Cleveland began its seven-game homestand
three games out of first, but was swept in four games by the Tigers and has
dropped the first two to the Angels, who came into town with a four-game losing
streak. "This is a game where how you handle frustration goes so far in how your
season is defined, and were going to find out," Indians manager Terry Francona
said. Mike Trout drew an eighth-inning walk and has reached base in 40
consecutive games. The Angels didnt exactly knock the cover off the ball. Three
of their runs scored on sacrifice flies, two others came on an RBI fielders
choice and another scored on a throwing error. "In a game where we didnt really
drive the ball, we did a really good job of situational hitting," Scioscia said.
"Every chance we had to either get a runner over or score him, we pretty much
did so." The Angels, who scored five times in the first inning in Fridays win,
saw that momentum carry over. Sacrifice flies by J.B. Shuck and Kole Calhoun
broke a 1-all tie in a rally that was aided by Jimenezs throwing error. After
Chris Iannetta drew a leadoff walk, Grant Green bunted to the left of the mound.
Instead of letting third baseman Mike Aviles make the play, Jimenez fielded the
ball and uncorked a wild heave that was several feet over the head of first
baseman Nick Swisher. The ball landed on the track well beyond the bag and
bounced into the stands, allowing the runners to take second and third. Schucks
fly ball scored Iannetta and moved Green tto third before Calhouns fly made it
3-1.
Ola Aina Jersey UK. Michael Bourns RBI single
in the sixth cut the lead to one, but the Indians defence imploded in the
eighth. Errors by shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera and second baseman Jason Kipnis,
and a wild pitch by Bryan Shaw helped the Angels score four times. Shuck hit a
sacrifice fly for his second RBI of the game, while Chris Nelson drove in a run
with a single. Erik Aybar added an RBI fielders choice and another run scored on
Kipnis wild throw home. Trout was 0 for 4 with three strikeouts and had an RBI
fielders choice in the third. Wilson dodged trouble often enough before finally
being chased in the sixth. Singles by Yan Gomes and Drew Stubbs put runners at
first and second with one out. Bourns single scored Gomes, moved Stubbs to third
and ended the night for Wilson, who threw 117 pitches. "I felt I pitched pretty
well," Wilson said. "It was a battle to get ahead of guys. Theres no other way
to characterize it." Michael Kohn retired Swisher on a popup and Buddy Boshers,
making his major league debut, struck out Kipnis. Wilson is 3-1 with a 1.95 ERA
in five outings against Cleveland since 2010. Hes also held opponents to two
homers over his last 12 outings. Stubbs infield hit scored a run for the Indians
in the second. Trout hit into a fielders choice with the bases loaded in the
third, tying the game. Iannetta reached base four times on a single and three
walks. Ernesto Frieri, who has been removed from the closers role, pitched the
ninth. He came into the game having allowed 12 earned runs over 4 2-3 innings in
his last seven appearances. NOTES: Former Indians OF Rocky Colavito, one of the
most popular players in franchise history, threw out the first pitch. "This is
my town," said Colavito, who played for the Indians from 1955-59 and again in
1965-67. "I love Cleveland. Its my favourite town in the world." Colavito, who
hit 374 career home runs, including four in one game in 1959, has a strong
opinion of players who take performance-enhancing drugs. "Theyre cheaters. They
cheat. Its an unfair advantage," he said. ... Boshers was called up from
Triple-A Salt Lake after 2B Howie Kendrick went on the 15-day DL with a
hyperextended left knee. ... Scioscia said LHP Jason Vargas (blood clot in
armpit) will throw a bullpen session Sunday and start Tuesday in New York if all
goes well. ... The series ends Sunday, when RHP Jerome Williams (5-8) starts for
the Angels against RHP Justin Masterson (13-8).
