SAN DIEGO (AP) — Justin Upton caught one home run ball Ted Williams Jersey , just missed snatching another. And then he hit one of his own.er his two-run shot capped a four-run, 10th-inning rally that carried the Los Angeles Angels past the San Diego Padres 6-3 on Monday night.Upton robbed pinch-hitter Eric Hosmer in the eighth when he went above the left-field wall to turn a go-ahead, three-run homer into a tying sacrifice fly.“Justin Upton makes the play of the night, taking away a home run,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “Keeping it 2-2 in the eighth, that’s huge.”Hosmer hit a 3-0 pitch from Angels starter Andrew Heaney high and deep to the opposite field.“I knew (Hosmer) got it good,” Heaney said. “Obviously, J-Up made a great play. He had a hell of a night tonight. I’m glad he’s out there.”Upton just missed making an identical play in the third inning on a home run off the bat of Freddy Galvis.“Initially, I thought I had it. How high it was, I thought I was going to catch it,” Upton said. “It just kept carrying. He hit it a little better than I thought.”Kole Calhoun hit a tiebreaking ground-rule double in the 10th for the Angels http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-dustin-pedroia-jersey , a towering drive that fell between Manuel Margot and Hunter Renfroe in right-center before bouncing over the fence.“I think Hunter kind of pulled up,” Padres manager Andy Green said. “I don’t know if he thought he heard Manny say something.”Shohei Ohtani scored on David Fletcher’s perfect squeeze bunt, and Upton made it 6-2 when he connected off Craig Stammen (5-2) for his 25th homer.Jose Briceno, who homered early for the Angels, opened the 10th with a double but was thrown out at third by catcher Austin Hedges on Eric Young Jr.’s bunt. Briceno was originally ruled safe, but the call was overturned after a replay review.Young then stole second and Ohtani drew a pinch-hit walk to set up Calhoun’s big hit.Blake Parker gave up a solo homer to Hosmer in the bottom half.The Angels got 7 1/3 innings of four-hit ball from Heaney.The Padres failed to score after putting runners on first and second in the ninth when reliever Cam Bedrosian (4-2) got Galvis to foul out.San Diego pulled even at 2 in the eighth when Galvis scored on Hosmer’s deep sacrifice fly. Galvis led off the inning with a single and went to third on Jose Pirela’s single.Galvis hit a solo homer off Heaney in the third, just beyond the reach of a leaping Upton. One day earlier, Galvis had a grand slam in San Diego’s 9-3 win over the Phillies.Briceno homered in the top of the third, and Young scored on a wild pitch by Padres starter Clayton Richard.Winless on the road this season, Heaney held San Diego to two runs. In his previous 10 starts away from home, he was 0-5 with a 5.30 ERA.Richard, who gave up two runs and four hits over eight innings Nomar Garciaparra Jersey , is winless in his last nine starts. The left-hander entered 0-4 with a 7.29 ERA in eight starts since his most recent victory on June 22.“Individually it was probably a step in the right direction, but unfortunately just not quite enough,” Richard said. “The guys fought hard. It stinks having a game like that.”WEB GEMMargot made the defensive play of the game with a full-out diving catch on the dead run of Jefry Marte’s sinking line drive to end the third inning.HOT CORNERWil Myers came off the 10-day disabled list and played third base for the first time this season — and second time in his five-year career. Of course, five of the Angels’ first six batted balls went his way. Myers caught Calhoun’s line drive, then threw out Fletcher and Upton on grounders in the first inning. Myers’ busy night didn’t end until he had recorded eight assists and one putout.TRAINER’S ROOMAngels: Ohtani (elbow) threw a 33-pitch bullpen before the game. “Everything went pretty well,” he said through a translator. “This was a very good step for me. I’m definitely moving forward. Hopefully I’ll be able to pitch again this season.” … OF Mike Trout has left the team to handle a family matter. The Angels declined to say how long Trout would be away. The two-time AL MVP is eligible to come off the 10-day disabled list Thursday after missing time with a bruised right wrist. Los Angeles has 14 players on the DL.UP NEXTAngels: Rookie RHP Jaime Barria (7-7, 3.59 ERA) makes his 18th start of the year. He is 2-0 with a 2.70 ERA over his last three starts.Padres: RHP Brett Kennedy (0-1) makes his second major league start, six days after allowing six runs in four innings against Milwaukee. He became the first pitcher since 1900 to give up three consecutive homers in the first inning of his debut. PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zack Greinke’s glass will be half-full this season. And gleaming.“My goal this year is to not complain about anything,” Greinke said. “There are a lot of things that when you get my age that you could complain about. Not throwing as hard. Not feeling as good. Not running as fast. I’m just trying to think positive and not let negative thoughts creep into your mind.”Greinke, 35, will make his fourth opening day start against the six-time defending NL West-champion Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday, marking the beginning of his 16th season.Greinke has won 45 games in his three seasons with Arizona after signing a six-year http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-dustin-pedroia-jersey , $206.5 million free agent contract in the winter of 2015, and he came within one strikeout of his sixth career 200 strikeout/200 inning season last year. Since 2008, only Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer and Felix Hernandez have more than five.“It’s nice,” Greinke said of his opening day assignment. “I don’t really care about that stuff as a sentimental thing. I like pitching a lot, so it gives me the best chance to make 33, 34 starts. I like that part of it.”Greinke has made at least 32 starts in every injury-free season since 2008, and he has won at least 10 games in all 11 seasons since. Greinke, Orel Hershiser and Fernando Valenzuela are the only three pitchers in major league history to win Cy Young, Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards.The ability to take on a heavy workload “is part of the job,” Greinke said.“I hope it continues that way for the next 50 years, where that is the goal of the team and players to make their starts Fred Lynn Jersey ,” he added. “It’s what your job is. Look forward to that. Hope to do that every year.”Greinke, 15-11 last season after pitching through right shoulder soreness in the first month or so, said he had no health issues this spring.“Hopefully it stays that way,” he said. “Hopefully we’ll get a lot of outs, but a long way to go.”Greinke has stayed competitive by adjusting his attack as his velocity dipped slightly. Greinke’s fastball averaged a career-low 89.6 mph last season, according to FanGraphs. He compensated by throwing a slightly higher percentage of curveballs and changeups while moving away from his slider and cut fastball.The curve and changeup graded out as his most effective pitches, and he led the majors with 37 strikeouts on pitches timed at 70 mph or less thanks to a slow, slow curve that lands at 65-66.“The way I look at right now is, if I throw 88-89 (mph) and command it, that’s better than 89-90 with a little bit less command,” Greinke said. “I’d rather try to command what I have. Whatever is working, I keep doing. Some things work a little bit differently each year Wade Boggs Jersey , and I just try to see that.”Arizona manager Torey Lovullo has followed Greinke’s adjustments firsthand.“He came up as a 95-96 (mph) fireballer who has learned how to pitch over the course of the last 12, 13 seasons,” Lovullo said.“He gets outs with every pitch, which is really, really impressive. He is attacking weaknesses. He has a really good game plan . as good as anybody I’ve ever seen. There is a reason for it, and that is all the hard work he puts in behind the scenes.”
