Angels’ offense sputters in 2-1 loss to A’s
OAKLAND, CALIF. — The Los Angeles Angels are showing no signs of putting their slow start behind them.
Jerome Williams and two relievers allowed only two runs and six hits Monday night, but the Angels wasted another solid pitching performance in a 2-1 loss to the Oakland Athletics.
“There are a number of guys who aren’t swinging the bat to their capabilities,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “We’re in such a hole that we’re not going to make it up in one or two days. It’s that pitch-by-pitch grind we have to work toward.”
Phillies threaten in ninth but lose again, 2-1 to Nationals
PHILADELPHIA – Placido Polanco led off the bottom of the sixth inning for the Phillies with a walk and Shane Victorino followed with a double to put runners at second and third with nobody out tonight.

Wong leads Cardinals past Drillers
Kolten Wong, carrying two bats back to the clubhouse after this one went final, stopped to greet a few fans and then handed one of the sticks to a young fan.
No, he wasn’t about to part with the other. It won the game.
Wong won a lefty-lefty matchup in the third inning by cracking a solo home run off former first-round pick Nick Schmidt, and a trio of Springfield Cardinals bullpen arms – particularly former starter Michael Blazek – then finished a 1-0 victory against the Tulsa Drillers.
Could Hamels Or Victorino Actually Be Traded?
The Toronto Blue Jays expressed interest in both Cole Hamels and Shane Victorino last week. The Blue Jays executives wanted to see how high the asking price would be for the two all-stars, but they were merely testing the water, and talks were not serious. The Jays have also approached several other teams including the Marlins and Mariners about top players, Jose Reyes and Felix Hernandez, who have had slow starts to the season.
