ST. Chicago Cubs Jerseys . PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Rays cant get to the All-Star break fast enough.The team lost for the 19th time in 22 games on Thursday, falling 5-1 to the Los Angeles Angels, who had dropped 12 of 14 before taking three of four from the Rays and leaving town with their longest winning streak in nearly two months.Were not going to look back. I think weve been very honest and upfront that we are frustrated, manager Kevin Cash said. Were not pleased with the way things are going. The one way you can get out of that is start winning some ballgames.Albert Pujols and C.J. Cron drove in runs to back left-hander Hector Santiago (6-4), who limited the sputtering Rays to three singles over seven scoreless innings.Pujols snapped a scoreless tie with a sixth-inning single off rookie Blake Snell (1-4). Cron followed with a RBI grounder that Tampa Bay, which sank a season-worst 17 games under .500, was unable to turn into an inning-ending double play.The last-place Angels added two more runs in the eighth on Crons bases-loaded sacrifice fly and a perfectly executed double steal that saw Pujols swipe second base while Mike Trout sprinted home without drawing a throw to make it 4-0.The Rays, who went 3-8 on the longest homestand of the season, have matched the worst 22-game stretch in franchise history. Its the worst 22-game stretch in the major leagues this season, and the worst for an AL club since Texas went through a 3-19 stretch two years ago.At times it can have a snowball effect a little bit, Cash said. Every day is a new game, its a different game, but weve got to a do a better job of not carrying things over one day to the next. To be honest, I think for the most part weve done that. Were just continuing to come up short.Brad Millers 13th homer, coming on reliever Joe Smiths first pitch, accounted for Tampa Bays only run.Snell, who has taken the loss in four of his six career starts, allowed two runs and four hits over six innings. The 23-year-old left-hander walked two and struck out seven.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: RHP Cory Rasmus is expected to miss a minimum of six more weeks after surgery on Thursday to repair a right groin injury. ... C Geovany Soto, out since May 18 with a right lateral meniscus injury, might be activated this weekend.Rays: RHP Alex Cobb (Tommy John surgery) felt fine a day after his first rehab start Wednesday night for Class A Charlotte and will make his next appearance Monday. ... C Curt Casali, who left Wednesdays game with a bruise on the left side of his head after being struck by a back swing, sat out the series finale and is day to day. ... INF Steve Pearce (strained right hamstring) is scheduled to start on-field batting practice Friday.RARE COMBOTampa Bays Chris Archer (4-11, 127 strikeouts) and Drew Smyly (2-10, 108) are the second pair of teammates in major league history to lose 10 or more games while fanning at least 100 batters before the All-Star break. Clay Kirby (6-11, 126) and Steve Arlin (8-11, 115) did it for the San Diego Padres in 1972.UP NEXTAngels: Continue a 10-game East Coast road trip leading into the All-Star break, with RHP Matt Shoemaker (3-9, 4.40 ERA) making his second start of the season against Baltimore. He pitched 7 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and striking out a career-high 12 in his start against the Orioles at Angel Stadium on May 21.Rays: Archer, who lost eight straight decisions against the Red Sox, starts the opener of a weekend series in Boston. The right-hander, whos gone from an All-Star a year ago to leading the majors in losses this season, is the first pitcher since Phil Niekro (Braves) in 1977 to have as many as 11 losses and 127 strikeouts at the All-Star break. The other times that happened occurred in 1973, when Nolan Ryan (Angels), Gaylord Perry (Indians) and Wilbur Wood (White Sox) all did it. Jason Heyward Cubs Jersey . Peter Holland and Brad Staubitz were sent to Toronto on Saturday as the Maple Leafs traded defenceman Jesse Blacker and draft picks to the Anaheim Ducks. Daniel Descalso Jersey . Cuban testified Thursday that he was upset when the companys CEO told him news that would reduce the value of his shares, for which hed paid $7.5 million. But he said he did nothing improper when he sold those shares over the next two days. http://www.cubsauthentic.com/cubs-billy-williams-jersey/ .C. -- Todd Fiddler scored a hat trick, including the overtime goal, as the Prince George Cougars survived an 8-7 win against the Kamloops Blazers in Western Hockey League play Sunday. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Most Brazilian players were already back in the locker room when Neymar rushed across the field at Maracana Stadium to celebrate with the fans.Shirtless, Neymar raised his arms toward the stands. He pumped his fists as the crowd chanted his name. He pointed back at the fans, as if thanking them, drawing even louder cheers.The Olympic host nation is once again embracing its most talented son.Neymar had just scored two goals Wednesday -- including the fastest one in Olympic history, just 15 seconds into the game -- to lead Brazil to a 6-0 rout of Honduras in the semifinals and keep alive its hopes of winning Olympic soccer gold for the first time.The 24-year-old striker is vital for Brazil at the Rio Olympics and has regained the trust of the fans after a struggling start. Neymars brilliant display against Honduras helped Brazil reach Saturdays final against Germany. Besides the early goal, he converted a penalty kick in injury time after controlling the Brazilian offense throughout the game.This is the Neymar that we like to see on the field, said 38-year-old Brazilian fan Andre Gustavo Correa, speaking outside the Maracana. We need him to have a chance to win this gold! Without him playing the way he is playing, I dont think this team would have been in the final.Brazilian fans had jeered and mocked Neymar after disappointing performances in the first two Olympic games -- scoreless draws against South Africa and Iraq.But his recent level of play -- victories over Denmark in the group stage, Colombia in the quarterfinals, and Honduras in the semis -- has been more than enough to bring the fans back to his side.I would say, in the good sense, that Neymar is a monster, Brazil coach Rogerio Micale said. He has a gift for playing football. He delights absolutely everyone with his talent. There are externaal factors that influence the way players develop and I think it is an opportunity to study what happened to him to see if we can replicate that with other players. Yu Darvish Jersey. His coach thinks Neymar is a disrupting force for other teams.Hes the kind of player that when he is on a team, he kind of upsets the balance in a positive way, Micale said. I think he is very happy on the team. The team has embraced him. He is living through a positive period as opposed to a week ago, when there was a lot of demands and pressure on him. I think we need to respect him and have him on our side.Neymar arrived as one of the biggest stars of the Rio de Janeiro Games after skipping the Copa America to take on the responsibility of leading Brazil at its home Olympics. The Barcelona player was on the 2012 team that lost the Olympic final to Mexico in London.He was also on the national team eliminated by Germanys senior squad after an embarrassing 7-1 loss in World Cup semifinals two years ago, although he didnt play because of a back injury sustained in the quarterfinals against Colombia.That humiliating loss to Germany has scarred the Brazilian psyche. With Neymar on the field this time, everyone is hoping for a different outcome Saturday when the same two nations meet at the Maracana.For the time being, we have only the silver achieved, Micale said. But I still believe in Brazilian football. And when you have a star like Neymar, you have to be grateful, because he is the type of player that pushes Brazil to a higher level.---AP Sports Writer Anne M.
