ANAHEIM, Calif. -- While the Houston Astros are rocketing up the AL standings, the Los Angeles Angels are plummeting at roughly the same rate of speed.Tim Lincecum tried to change things Tuesday night, but both teams kept going their separate ways.Carlos Correa hit a three-run homer in the first inning, and the Astros beat Lincecum and the Angels 7-1 for their ninth win in 10 games.Correa went 3 for 4 and matched his career high with four RBI as Houston easily improved to 34-20 since May 1. The Astros also beat the Angels for the seventh straight time, their longest winning streak in the rivalrys history.We expect to win the way were playing, which is good, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. We do have a nice little vibe about us, a little swagger. Weve got our confidence back.Scott Feldman (5-3) yielded three hits in five innings to win his first start since April 24 for the Astros. Feldman was a stopgap starter after making 16 appearances out of the bullpen over the past two months, but he kept Houston moving flawlessly forward while allowing no earned runs or walks.Ive been doing the bullpen thing, so I had to try to remember my routine for (starting), said Feldman, a starter for most of the previous eight seasons. But it was a lot of fun.Albert Pujols third-inning single drove in the only run for last-place Los Angeles (32-46), which has lost eight of nine. Before the game, general manager Billy Eppler said manager Mike Scioscias job is not in jeopardy with the Angels, whose injury-riddled starting rotation has been their biggest obstacle.Lincecum (1-2) couldnt get through the fifth inning in his third start for the Angels, yielding seven hits, four walks and five runs. It was the two-time Cy Young winners second straight bumpy outing after a promising debut.My fastball command was pretty terrible, Lincecum said. I didnt get a chance to establish the zone and work around that. I felt myself becoming one-dimensional again with my changeup and not really finding a way out. That team is a good hitting team. They punched the balls when they were up in the zone and made me pay for it.Lincecum has a 6.75 ERA after three starts for the Angels, who signed the longtime San Francisco Giants star to patch that rotation. While he struck out seven Astros, he also struggled with control -- throwing just 55 strikes in 101 pitches -- and served up too many hittable balls to the Astros surging lineup.Lincecum was in trouble again after four Houston batters. He started with a four-pitch walk to George Springer, and Jose Altuve also drew a four-pitch walk before Correa put his 13th homer far over the left field fence. Correa had never faced Lincecum before that shot.I knew he was going to try to throw some changeups and get me to chase, Correa said. Its big to score early in the game.Marwin Gonzalez tripled in the fourth and scored on Carlos Gomezs double. Colby Rasmus one-out single in the fifth chased Lincecum, and Gonzalez bunted home Houstons fifth run moments later.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: Feldman filled in for RHP Lance McCullers, whose rotation turn was skipped due to a blister. McCullers expects to return Monday for his next start, although Feldman wouldnt mind another shot. I love starting, Feldman said. But I also love being on this team, and were winning a lot of games right now.Angels: 3B Yunel Escobar missed another game with a bone bruise in his left knee. Scioscia hopes he is available Friday in Boston. ... C Geovany Soto is closing in on a rehab assignment after working out in the bullpen Tuesday. He has been out since mid-May after knee surgery.UP NEXTAstros: Dallas Keuchel (4-9, 5.35 ERA) beat Kansas City last week for his first win in five June starts, but the AL Cy Young winners weird season continues.Angels: Jered Weaver (6-6, 5.24 ERA) has been solid in recent weeks, but had a rough outing against Oakland earlier in this homestand.

Nike Air Max 270 Black And White . PAUL, Minn. Nike Air Max 270 React Triple Black . LOUIS -- St.TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays were one hit away from turning things around on Saturday. But like so many other games in a season that has gone off the rails, Torontos clutch moment never came as the Tampa Bay Rays held on for a 4-3 victory. "We had our opportunities, especially late there, but we couldnt get that big one," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. Brett Lawrie walked with one out in the ninth and came around to score on an error by Rays closer Fernando Rodney, but the Blue Jays left runners at second and third when Adam Lind flied to centre. "When you keep nibbling back and keep nibbling back and get within striking range and then you cant strike, its frustrating," said Lawrie, who made an error on a throw from that led to a run in the Rays three-run third inning. The Blue Jays also had the bases loaded with none out in the eighth but couldnt get anything as Rays reliever Joel Peralta got a foul out and two strikeouts. Tampa Bay got two RBIs from rookie right-fielder Wil Myers, while starter Jeremy Hellickson (9-3) won his fifth consecutive decision. The Rays (57-41) have won the first two of the three-game series with the Blue Jays (45-51) and have taken 16 of their last 18. Hellickson allowed five hits, including a home run by Jose Bautista, three walks and two runs in five innings for the Rays before left-hander Alex Torres took over in the sixth. Hellickson said he was not feeling well on Saturday. "After BP (Friday) I started getting a little light-headed and I threw up a little bit," he said. "I think its going around, theres five or six of us who arent feeling too well." Hellickson had a no decision in his previous start on July 10 but is 7-1 over his past nine outings. Blue Jays left-hander Mark Buehrle (5-7) allowed 10 hits and four runs (three earned) in seven innings to take his second consecutive loss. "Maybe were overrated, maybe were not as good as we thought we were," Buehrle said of a Blue Jays team that was expected to contend for the World Series but instead sits last in the American League East. "When we had an 11-game winning streak we had everything going for us. Guys were making play. We were hitting balls just out of the reach of guys and we were making the right pitches at the right time and now it seems like nothing is going our way." The Rays opened the scoring in the first when Desmond Jennings led off with a walk. Ben Zobrist then bunted for a single, Jennings took third on a fly out and scored on Myers sacrifice fly. "It was a battle, probably one of the longest seven inning games time-wise," Buehrle said. "A lot of base runners, falling behind in the counts. That first inning, it was like I forgot how to pittch.dddddddddddd I couldnt throw a strike. Then I got some stuff together then they found some holes and got some guys on base." Tampa Bay added three runs in the third to take a 4-0 lead. Sam Fuld led off with a single, Jennings bunted for a single and Zobrist walked to load the bases. Evan Longoria forced Zobrist at second to score one run before Myers singled in another. Longoria scored when Ryan Roberts forced Myers at second and reached first base on a throwing error by Lawrie. Buehrle was upset with himself on the bunt by Jennings. "It seems like Ive been guessing wrong a lot of times this year," he said. "When the guy squared around to bunt I just automatically go right to third base and he bunts it down the first-base line and its a single instead of waiting a couple of seconds to see where hes going to bunt it. Ive got to do a better job of fielding balls up the middle. "To me, this is one of the worst years Ive had as far as fielding my position, not reading the ball right, some balls getting up the middle and when I do get the ball not making the right throw. A lot of it comes back on me." Bautistas 22nd homer of the season with two out in the bottom of the third cut the lead to 4-1. The Blue Jays scored in the fifth on a groundout by Edwin Encarnacion that scored Jose Reyes from third. Toronto had a golden opportunity to tie or take the lead in the eighth but couldnt capitalize with the bases loaded and none out. Torres walked Bautista and Encarnacion to open the inning before being replaced by Peralta, who walked Lind to load the bases. But as has been the case so many times this season, Toronto couldnt come up with a key hit. Colby Rasmus fouled out, Maicer Izturis was called out on strikes and J.P. Arencibia struck out swinging on a 3-2 pitch to end the threat. "It was Houdini-esque," Rays manager Joe Maddon said of Peralta. "Just a masterful job on his part of managing the moment."
