ANAHEIM, Calif.
[b]Air Max Plus Uomo[/b] . -- The difference Wednesday night between the Mariners and Angels was a single mistake by one of the many Los Angeles pitchers still trying to figure out how to be successful in the big leagues.Nelson Cruz and Kyle Seager homered to lead Seattle past the Angels 2-1, extending its longest winning streak of the season to eight games.Cruz hit a go-ahead homer in the seventh off Jose Alvarez (1-3), his 37th of the season and fourth in four games.At times hes made some pitches. Hes trying to find that blend, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. Hes got a really explosive fastball and a slider, but the last two games hes hung sliders and they went out of the park.It was the Cruzs 10th home run this year against Los Angeles, more than any other Mariners player has hit in one season against a single opponent.Jay Buhner belted nine off Minnesota in 1995.Hisashi Iwakuma pitched into the seventh inning and earned his 16th win for Seattle (78-68), which completed a three-game sweep.The surging Mariners moved within 1 1/2 games of Toronto for the second AL wild card, with Detroit the only team in between.Its the first time the Mariners have won eight in a row since July 2013. They have the longest active streak in the majors.Guys are really confident, really happy and the energy is up, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. Were just focusing on one game, thats the key. And then you get on the plane and youre thinking, just win the series. And you win the first couple and you think, why not sweep it? Thats kind of been our attitude.Seager hit his career-best 29th homer off Jhoulys Chacin in the fifth to tie it at 1.Chacin came out of the bullpen to make his first start since Aug. 21, in place of injured Tyler Skaggs. Chacin settled for a no-decision, limiting the Mariners to one run and three hits in six innings while striking out five. He threw 78 pitches, close to his prescribed limit.I think he commanded the sinker, changed speeds very well, Scioscia said. And for a guy who hadnt started very well, he threw six strong innings against a team who has been hitting the ball well.Since losing five straight starts through June and July, Chacin is 1-0 with a 2.87 ERA as a starter.Chacin might need to make another start in place of Skaggs. An MRI revealed no damage to his surgically repaired elbow, but Skaggs will be out at least a week. He said he plans to pitch again this season, however, possibly making Chacin the odd man out in the rotation at some point.I tried to call the right pitches for him and he did an unbelievable job, catcher Juan Graterol said. Hes doing great. Hes throwing everything for a strike. Hes always ahead in the count.Edwin Diaz pitched a perfect ninth for his 16th save.Iwakuma (16-11) won his second straight, allowing one run and five hits in 6 1/3 innings. He exited after Cliff Pennington bunted for a leadoff single and advanced on Graterols sacrifice.He dialed it up. You could see the look on his face, Servais said. Hes very good at slowing the game down. Its almost to the point where it drives you crazy, like, lets go! But thats what he does; he slows it down, he executes pitches.Tom Wilhelmsen retired the next two batters.Graterol, who made his first major league start, scored on a wild pitch by Iwakuma in the third and went 2 for 2, the only Los Angeles player with a multihit game.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: Skaggs had an MRI to find the cause of soreness in his left forearm. The test showed no damage to his ulnar collateral ligament, which was repaired with Tommy John surgery in 2014. The MRI came back clean but Skaggs was diagnosed with a mild pronator strain and will be shut down for at least seven days. ... RHP Cory Rasmus (groin strain) was activated from the 60-day disabled list. Rasmus hasnt pitched in a major league game since June 12 and was on a rehab assignment last week with Class-A Orem. ... RHP Matt Shoemaker (skull fracture) was transferred to the 60-day DL.UP NEXTAngels RHP Daniel Wright pitches the opener of a four-game series against Toronto on Thursday. Set to make his fourth major league start, Wright, who was claimed off waivers from Cincinnati on Sept. 4, is 0-2 with a 7.50 ERA in the big leagues this season.

The players spoke Jan. 13 during a Major League Baseball Players Association conference call after Rodriguez sued the union and Major League Baseball to overturn an arbitrators decision suspending him for the 2014 season and post-season. Kolkata is a lovely, old city, but driving can be a pain in the central town, particularly for newcomers. Armed with GPS and maps, you can practise your driving in chaotic environments, but what do you do when the same road has two equally popular names: Shakespeare Sarini and Theatre Road for example? You can practise all your driving on one-way streets, but what do you do when one-ways change directions at 1pm? When you hit a one-way street that goes in the opposite direction of where you want to go, there is no looking back. You are forced to enter more one-way streets that take you away from your destination. GPS is helpless because it doesnt know the one-way-streets system of Kolkata. Not well enough anyway.It is a bit like playing spin in India. You have to keep so many things in your mind. Watch the grip, the release of the seam and decide early whether to go back or forward, watch for the variations yet there can still be natural variations off the pitch. You also have to look to score runs. Mike Hesson, New Zealands coach, has stressed the importance of getting starts: in other words, when you hit a wrong one-way street, find a way to get out. When you lose a wicket, dont lose another quickly.The biggest challenge here is to get a start, Hesson told ESPNcricinfo two days before the second Test. If you are able to get a start against spin, then you can apply your game plans. Its easier said than done. We saw that once the guys got underway they were actually able to score and defend and find ways to evolve the game. Starting against them is the hardest bit.New Zealand had periods in the first Test where they seemed like they could negate the India bowlers, but lost wickets in bunches. India did too in their first innings, but New Zealands clusters were bigger. Once you come out to bat, there is a lot happening on the pitch, but after facing 10 balls or so, you feel more confident. There was a strong partnership between Kane Williamson and Tom Latham in the first innings, but they then lost three wickets for 11 runs. Another partnership between Mitchell Santner and Luke Ronchi followed, but another collapse of five wickets for seven runs resulted in a 56-run first-innings deficit.We scored over 250 in both innings in conditions that are challenging where you are batting second and fourth, Hesson said. We certainly found ways to do it. The key is to get more starts. If we get more starts we get more opportunities to create partnerships. From there you turn that 250 into 320. Then you are very much in the game.It is not impossible to arrest a slide, but it is not easy either. Santner and Ronchi tried, but couldnt keep it up for long enough. I was pleased with the way Mitch and Luke batted in the first innings after losing three quick wickets, Hesson said. To still go out and to score and apply their game plan, it is challenging when you lose wickets like that. Because you start to think it is unplayable. Thats the challenge. How do we stick to our game plans?Hesson spoke about the challenges of facing spin when natural variation becomes a factor too. Mark Craig and Ish Sodhi fell lbw off consecutive deliveries by Ravindra Jadeja, which were released identically, in the first innings. One turned a long way, the other went straight on.Many ways it is actually natural variation, Hesson said. A lot of times you are actually not trying to bowl a straighter one. Sometimes it just lands on the leather and slides on. Other times it hits the seam and spins. You are obviously able to change the seam angle to have a little bit of control over there, but sometimes it is very accidental. That is the reality of it over here. And when it spins, it is extreme turn. Like both sides, you are just hoping that you play and miss.In many ways, everyone has a different game plan. You need to be able to protect your stumps. If the ball spins past the outside edge, it is okay.
[b]Air Max 90 Blu Scontatissime[/b]. We can accept that. You dont want to be beaten on the inside. Thats pretty much everybodys game plan. And around that you need to find ways to score.If it slides in, it is often going down. If it turns past the edge then you play and miss. And there are also a lot of balls that turn an abnormal amount. So you are dealing with three things. Thats the challenge of playing in India. Then as the game goes on, uneven bounce comes into play.Different degrees of turn hurt New Zealand in the Kanpur Test, according to Hesson. When rain interrupted the second days play, Williamson and Latham had added 117 for the second wicket. On the next morning, they lost three wickets in five overs. Once the covers were on for that period of time, and an early start, no doubt the first half an hour the ball spun a lot more and it spun sharper and it spun quicker, Hesson said. Both sides found that even on day four and day five, the first half an hour of the day it certainly spun more than the rest. There were certainly periods of time in the game, be it the new ball or the old ball, where the ball spun more. And that can challenge you. Because sometimes it does it quicker as well. There was lot to learn from Indias approach. For example, their batsmens technique to counter the straighter ones. Indian players are obviously more experienced so when they put their pad down they go down the line of leg stump, Hesson said. So if the ball is hitting your pad, often it is sliding down. Sometimes it looks worse - might often be going the same place - but sometimes it looks worse when you plant it across the crease. But the more balls the spinners put in the right area, the more it challenges you to defend. With Ashwin and Jadeja in Indian conditions they are very experienced.The New Zealand spinners, maybe playing for the first time in lead roles, didnt create the same amount of pressure India did. There were times when Kohli had the luxury of a seven-two field for Ashwin and six-three leg-side fields were commonplace. Kane Williamson had to defend both sides of the wicket because his spinners tended to offer more loose balls.Fatigue and heat are always an issue, Hesson said. Bowling long spells is challenging. Also this is the first time they have played a Test in India, the first time we are playing three spinners because conditions demand them, so it is a matter of allowing our guys to learn and evolve as well. You dont expect them to be geniuses in these conditions straightaway. But we do want to see improvement. We have got a smart group of spinners. I am sure they will improve.The humidity of Kanpur all but took reverse swing out of the equation. In the first session of the Test, Mark Craigs shirt was soaking wet with sweat. Of the four innings in the Test, there was reverse swing only in the last. Its very difficult for both the sides to keep the ball dry when you are soaking wet, Hesson said. And that makes it difficult. Hence, when you are able to get the ball changed [like it was when India bowled in the second innings], when the ball is dry to start off with, its easier to get it to reverse quicker. Thats something that sides will look to do.Hesson didnt complain about the ball change. Its a matter of luck. In some innings it goes out of shape; in others it doesnt. He echoed Williamsons sentiment that while the defeat looked big on the scoreboard, there were positives to take. Its a fine line, Hesson said when asked what the team can do mentally to recover in such a short time. For two days, we were in the game. And we fought right till the end. So we just need to get those partnerships for longer, create pressure for longer. We are not far away.
