OAKLAND, Calif. Mathieu Flamini Arsenal Jersey . -- Jered Weaver gave the Los Angeles Angels all the relief they needed. Weaver pitched a four-hitter for his major-league leading 15th victory, and the Angels beat the Oakland Athletics 4-0 on Monday night to overtake the final spot in the crowded AL wild card standings. After a burned-out bullpen was taxed while losing four of the previous five, the Angels ace gave the staff a much-needed night off. "Hes one of the best," catcher Chris Iannetta said. "And thats what the best do." Weaver (15-1) struck out nine, walked none and faced the minimum through 4 1-3 innings. The right-hander has won nine straight and a career-best 10 consecutive decisions since his only loss of the season May 13 against Texas, ranking second in franchise history to Jarrod Washburn, who won 12 consecutive decisions in 2002. "Theres really no answer," Weaver said about his impressive run. "Things have been going my way." Erick Aybar singled three times and scored twice in his first game back from the disabled list to move Los Angeles (59-51) ahead of Oakland (58-51) and Baltimore (58-51) by one victory. Detroit (59-50) is in line for the other wild card spot. Jarrod Parker (7-6) allowed four runs and nine hits in 6 2-3 innings. He struck out six and walked one in Oaklands third straight loss and major-league leading 13th shutout this season. "Jered did his job on the other side and I just needed to be better," Parker said. "When I start to aim thats when I get into trouble." All the offence Weaver wanted came in typical Angels fashion. Kendrys Morales doubled leading off the second and scored on a two-out single by Aybar, who had been on the disabled list since July 22 with a broken big toe on his right foot. Mike Trout singled home Aybar two batters later to give the Angels a 2-0 lead. Trout also stole second in the first, second and eighth innings to extend his franchise record to 27 straight steals without being caught. He leads the majors with 36 stolen bases. "He wreaks havoc out there," Parker said. The Angels centre fielder also singled to open the fifth but was called out sliding head-first into second on right fielder Josh Reddicks 13th assist. Trout immediately hopped up, furiously waving his hands and screaming at second base umpire Bill Miller in protest. Trout had to be restrained by both base coaches and manager Mike Scioscia. In the end, the only motions that mattered came on the mound. Weaver worked his way through the As lineup with relative ease, facing the minimum through 4 1-3 innings. The right-hander erased the only base runner during that time -- a single by Brandon Inge leading off the bottom of the third -- when he got Eric Sogard to ground into an inning-ending double play. The Angels ace struck out the side in the fifth despite allowing a one-out single to Brandon Moss and didnt allow a runner on second until the sixth, when Eric Sogard reached on a groundout to second and advanced on Coco Crisps ground out. Jemile Weeks popped up too short to end the inning. "You always want that lead dog," Scioscia said of Weaver. "And Weave is that lead dog." After consecutive singles by Aybar and Chris Iannetta in the seventh, Torii Hunter lined a two-run single up the middle to extend the Angels lead to 4-0 and give Weaver more than enough room for error. Weaver now 11 career complete games and three this season, including a no-hitter against Minnesota on May 2. "Hes extremely frustrating," As catcher Derek Norris said. The one hitter Weaver never had to face has made all the difference for Oakland this season. Yoenis Cespedes did not start for the second time in three games as he recovers from a right wrist sprain. After sitting out Saturday, he went 0 for 4 on Sunday, and As manager Bob Melvin said Cespedes wrist bothered the outfielder in his final two at-bats. Cespedes is day to day. The As are 46-29 when Cespedes starts and 12-22 when he doesnt. NOTES: The Angels optioned SS Andrew Romine to Triple-A Salt Lake to clear space for Aybar on the roster. ... Oakland SS Cliff Pennington (left elbow) was scheduled to play three more games with Triple-A Sacramento and could rejoin the As by the weekend. ... Oakland RHP Bartolo Colon (8-8, 3.55 ERA) takes the mound opposite against Angels lefty C.J. Wilson (9-7, 3.27 ERA) on Tuesday. Wilfried Bony Jersey . The halftime video session worked. The Rockets didnt make another 3, and were held to a franchise-low in points in the second half of the Thunders 104-92 win. Nathaniel Clyne Jersey . -- Sam Lacey, a former NBA All-Star centre who spent most of his 13-year career with the Kansas City Kings, has died. http://www.jerseysauthenticsoccers.com/arsenal-fc-gabriel-jersey/ .com) - In their second game of the season, the 17th-ranked Connecticut Huskies take on the College of Charleston Cougars in the opening round of the 2014 Puerto Rico Tip-Off at Coliseo Roberto Clemente.London, England - Two-time champion Rafael Nadal, seven- time titlist Roger Federer and Australian Open winner Stan Wawrinka posted second-round victories Thursday at Wimbledon. The second-seeded world No. 1 superstar Nadal exacted some revenge by coming back to beat Czech Lukas Rosol 4-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-4, 6-4 on the famed Centre Court. Rosol shocked Nadal in the second round here two years ago, and Nadal was a first-round loser against Belgian Steve Darcis in the opening round last year. Rosol had a set point in the second-set tiebreak but was unable to convert, as Nadal saved it with a forehand winner and Rosol double-faulted two points later to give the Spaniard the set. Nadal ultimately completed his comeback in 2 hours, 44 minutes. The big-serving 6-foot-5 Rosol popped 17 aces, compared to 11 for Nadal, who broke his Czech counterpart three times, compared to two breaks for the loser. Nadal has now beaten Rosol twice since losing to the Czech slugger here in 2012. The mighty Spaniards other win came in Doha, Qatar, back in January. "I never play for revenge. Every match is a different match. My goal is not to beat Rosol but to play as well as I can in the tournament," Nadal said. The 14-time Grand Slam champion Nadal, who is the reigning French and U.S. Open titlist, is now 38-7 lifetime at Wimbledon, where hes a two-time winner and three-time runner-up. Up next for the 28-year-old great will be Kazakhstans Mikhail Kukushkin. The fourth-seeded former world No. 1 great Federer eased past Luxembourgs Gilles Muller 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 under the roof on Centre Court. Rain forced the closure of the roof during the second set. Federer improved to 69-8 lifetime at The Championships, where he also finished as a runner-up in 2008 in addition to those seven titles. The 17-time Grand Slam king titled on grass in Halle two weeks ago. He awaits the Marcel Granollers-Santiago Giraldo winner. The fifth-seeded Swiss star Wawrinka moved on by striking 56 winners and holding off Taiwans Yen-Hsun Lu, 7-6 (8-6), 6-3, 3-6, 7-5. Wawrinka will meet Uzbekistans Denis Istomin on Saturday. In other action involving top-10 seeds, No. 8 Milos Raonic, of Canada, reached the third round at Wimbledon for the first time by humbling American Jack Sock 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, No. 9 American John Isner erased veteran Finnish left-hander Jarkko Nieminen 7-6 (19-17), 7-6 (7-3), 7-5, and No. 10 Kei Nishikori, of Japan, erased American Denis Kudla 6-3, 6-2, 6-1. The youngest player in the mens draw, 19-year-old Aussie Nick Kyrgios, pulled off an impressive upset by coming from two-sets-to-love down to eliminate 13th-seeded Frenchman and former Wimbledon semifinalist Richard Gasquet, 3-6, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 7-5, 10-8. Cameron Brannagan Jersey. Kyrgios smacked 21 aces and saved nine match points in the remarkable victory on the No. 2 Court. The Aussie needed 3 hours, 53 minutes to advance, as Gasquet ripped 27 aces in a losing effort. In a match that was suspended because of darkness on Wednesday, 14th-seeded French star Jo-Wilfried Tsonga finished off American Sam Querrey 4-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-7 (4-7), 6-3, 14-12. The two men returned to the court knotted at 9-9 in the final set on Thursday. Tsonga and Querrey combined for 70 aces, including 37 from the French winner, in the two-day, 3-hour, 49-minute affair. The match featured only three service breaks, with Tsonga gaining two of them. Italian Simone Bolelli took out 22nd-seeded German Philipp Kohlschreiber 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5, while 23rd-seeded Spaniard Tommy Robredo bested Frances Adrian Mannarino 6-4, 6-1, 7-6 (7-5) and Czech Jiri Vesely upended 24th-seeded Frenchman Gael Monfils 7-6 (7-3), 6-3, 6-7 (1-7), 6-7 (3-7), 6-4. Also on Day 4, Kukushkin drubbed Canadian Frank Dancevic 6-3, 6-3, 6-2, Istomin defeated German Julian Reister, 7-6 (9-7), 6-4, 6-4, and Polands Lukasz Kubot overcame Serbian Dusan Lajovic 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (7-4), 6-3, 7-6 (7-3). Kubot was a surprise Wimbledon quarterfinalist last year. Rain forced the suspension or postponement of three matches, as 15th-seeded 2013 semifinalist Jerzy Janowicz was leading former world No. 1 and former Wimbledon champ Lleyton Hewitt 7-5, 4-4, 19th-seeded Feliciano Lopez never took to the court against Croat Ante Pavic, and 30th-seeded Spaniard Marcel Granollers was ahead of Colombian Santiago Giraldo 6-4, 6-7 (2-7), 6-1, 1-6, 2-1 when play was called for the day. Lopez titled on grass in Eastbourne last week and was a runner-up on grass the week before at Londons Queens Club. The third round will commence Friday, including matches for top-seeded former champion Novak Djokovic and third-seeded reigning champ Andy Murray. Last years runner-up to Murray, Djokovic, will meet Frances Gilles Simon, while Murray will take on last weeks grass-court champion in The Netherlands, 27th- seeded Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut.
