Angels 5, Astros 1
HOUSTON — Josh Hamilton hit a two-run homer to support eight strong innings by Tyler Skaggs, who was making his Angels debut after being acquired in the offseason from Arizona. Hamilton followed David Freese's RBI single with his second homer in as many days, extending the lead to 4-1. Hamilton had three hits and is now hitting .352 against the Astros with 16 homers and 41 RBIs.
An Alabama man who shot and killed the 17-year-old brother of Bucs linebacker Kwon Alexander in 2015 was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday, the Anniston (Ala.) Star reported.
ST. PETERSBURG — It was still a game in the fifth inning when LHP Blake Snell walked the leadoff batter, then allowed a single. One swing by the Cubs' Ian Happ (22 home runs) could put a dent in the Rays' three-run lead.
ST. PETERSBURG — The first foray back to the Trop by the best manager the Rays have had obscured the second return visit by arguably the second-best player in franchise history.
Figures.
One success story of this lost season is the emergence of LHP Blake Snell as the frontline starter the Rays projected. After a rough start and two demotions, he has been rolling, Wednesday's solid seven innings making him 4-0, 2.57 in his past eight starts.
