ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Houston Astros appear to be enjoying their new address in the American League West, particularly when they play the Los Angeles Angels. Carlos Pena and Carlos Corporan homered against C.J. Wilson and Jordan Lyles turned in his fourth impressive outing in a row for the Astros, who beat the Angels 5-4 Sunday for the third straight time and extended their winning streak to a season-high five games. "It says that we can beat anybody in this league. If we can compete with the Angels, then we can compete with anybody," reliever Hector Ambriz said after getting the save. "Weve attacked their whole lineup with fastballs, curve balls and off-speed pitches and havent fallen behind in the count. Youve got to respect what they can do, but weve got to respect our stuff, too." The Astros, who entered this four-game wraparound series with an AL-worst 17-37 record, have won six of nine meetings with the Angels after coming over from the NL. Two of those wins have come at Wilsons expense, after the two-time All-Star had won his first five decisions against Houston with a 3.37 ERA. "Sports are very hard to predict," Wilson said. "Theres a lot of people over the years who have tried to be experts at projecting things, and I dont think these people have much of a shot past a coin flip in really predicting whats going to go on -- because theres so many factors. "I dont think theyre playing over their heads against us. Theyre a major league team," he added. "I mean, you watch the way Bo Porter manages. He forces action. Guys are stealing, guys are bunting, and they have a lot of players on their team with tools. Theyve got some relievers that can come in and strike people out, and theyve got some guys that can hit home runs." A victory over the Angels in Monday nights series finale would give the Astros their first four-game sweep of any club since Aug, 23-26, 2010, at Philadelphia -- and their first six-game winning streak since July 27-Aug. 3, 2010 (seven in a row). "We just havent played well against them. Thats really what it comes down to," Wilson said. "Its frustrating because weve been put in the position to win some of these games and we have not come through. The frustrating thing about our season so far is that we havent really been consistent. Right now Id say were too up and down." Lyles (3-1) allowed two runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings, struck out five and walked one. The 22-year-old right-hander, who was promoted from Triple-A on May 2, has a 1.90 ERA over his past four starts after giving up eight runs through four innings in a 12-7 loss against Texas. The Angels threatened in the eighth against Brad Peacock, who gave up a double to Albert Pujols and a walk to Mark Trumbo with none out. But Josh Hamilton flied to centre on the right-handers next pitch and Howie Kendrick grounded into a double play. The Astros loaded the bases with none out in the ninth against Garrett Richards, and Matt Dominguez delivered their final two runs with a single. Richards left the game with a twisted left ankle after he charged in on rookie Brandon Barnes attempted suicide-squeeze bunt and flipped to Hank Conger for the tag on Trevor Crowe. Porter sent Peacock back to the mound in the ninth after he had already pitched 1 1-3 innings, and the right-hander gave up a two-run homer by Conger after a leadoff walk to Alberto Callaspo. But Ambriz came on and got three outs for his second save in four attempts after regular closer Jose Veras closed out the first two games. "It was nail-biting time there," said Porter, who used Veras five of the previous six days. "Ambriz came in and did a tremendous job to close that game out. I tried to do everything I could to stay away from him because our bullpen has been getting taxed. But once Peacock gave up the two-run homer, we knew that it wouldnt take Ambriz long to get ready." Wilson (4-4) gave up three runs and six hits in 7 1-3 innings with nine strikeouts and no walks. Pena sent the left-handers first pitch of the fifth inning barely over the 18-foot wall in right field for his fifth home run and second in five games. Barnes led off the Houston fifth with a double and scored on a two-out single by J.D. Martinez. The Angels cut the margin to 3-2 in the bottom half, as Trumbo led off with his 13th homer. Corporan drove an 0-1 pitch to left-centre with two outs in the first for his fourth home run. The Angels tied it in the third with an RBI single by Pujols, after Mike Trout reached on a strikeout-wild pitch that sent former Astros prospect J.B. Shuck to third. Lyles minimized the damage by getting Trumbo to ground into an inning-ending double play. NOTES: Lyles was 5-12 with a 5.09 ERA in 25 starts with the Astros last season. ... The Astros have the first overall pick in Thursdays draft for the second straight year, after selecting SS Carlos Correa in 2012. The only other teams with that distinction since the draft began in 1965 were Tampa Bay in 2007-08 (LHP David Price and SS Tim Beckham), and Washington in 2009-10 (RHP Stephen Strasburg and OF Bryce Harper). ...

Discount Nike Sneakers Canada . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams. Canada Sneakers .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. INDIANAPOLIS -- Donte Moncrief and Phillip Dorsett have a clear mission this season: Become consistent, quality receivers.The Colts playoff hopes may depend on it.Weve got to step up and make plays, Moncrief said. We have to help out T.Y. (Hilton).Moncrief is perfectly positioned to make the jump.After being taken in the third-round of the 2014 draft, the 6-foot-2, 222-pounder from Mississippi started flashing play-making ability late in his rookie season. The expectations increased last season when he entered training camp as the No. 3 receiver and again when he was pressed into more action because of Andre Johnsons struggles.Moncrief wound up doubling his rookie totals, finishing with 64 receptions and six touchdowns despite playing with a bad toe. Indy released Johnson in March and essentially handed the starting job opposite Hilton, a two-time Pro Bowler, to Moncrief, who was recovering from toe surgery.I got into the playbook and learned every position because you never know where youre going to be lining up on the field, the 23-year-old Moncrief said. I know the game better now.Dorsett faces a different kind of challenge. The Colts gambled by using last years first-round pick on the 5-foot-10, 185-pound speedster from Miami, expecting Dorsett to stretch the field and create a spark in the return game.Instead, Dorsett spent the first part of 2015 getting acclimated to the NFL and broke his lower left leg just when it appeared he might break through. The injury cost him five games and eliminated his chance of making the kind of impact Indy projected.Hes healthy now and with a full offseason to work with quarterback Andrew Luck and the rest of his teammates, Dorsett intends to improve on the 18 catches, 225 yards and one TD he had last season.Ive focused a lot on the strength, endurance and going out and being able to run full speed for the whole game, Dorsett said. I did a lot of route running.Offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski noted that Dorsett seemed more precise running pass patterns when he arrived at training camp last month. And Hilton said that Indys new No. 3 receivver is catching better and blocking more effectively, too -- traits Indy desperately needs given the lack of proven talent behind Dorsett.ddddddddddddThe eight other receivers on Indys current roster have zero catches in the NFL. And though one of them, Chester Rogers, came up with the winning score last weekend at Buffalo, the other eight finished with six combined catches. Its an area the team is looking to shore up quickly.Indy hosts Baltimore on Saturday with Luck expected to make his first start in more than nine months.Weve got some young guys that we want to focus on a little bit, and there are some guys out there that were looking at as well, coach Chuck Pagano said Tuesday after veteran Josh Boyce was released.While Pagano didnt cite any specific receivers, the NFL landscape is littered with experienced veterans such as Marques Colston, Brian Hartline and Roddy White. Indy has tried that route before with results ranging from modest success to outright failure.So the Colts best hope appears to be the emergence of two young, promising receivers who insist they are ready to get the job done.Weve got to basically help everybody, Dorsett said. Weve got to help in the run game, weve got to help Andrew (Luck), weve got to play fast and weve got to play physical and thats what were going to do.Game notes Pagano said five players would not play Saturday night: cornerbacks Jalil Brown (ankle) and Darius Butler (hamstring), receiver Marcus Leak (quad), linebacker Sio Moore (hamstring) and guard Hugh Thornton (ankle). ... Pagano said most of the starting offense should play the first quarter against the Ravens and possibly into the second. ... Defensive linemen Henry Anderson could come off the physically unable to perform list soon. Pagano said Anderson is really close to being cleared for practice. He has not practiced with the team since tearing the ACL in his right knee in November.----Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
