HOUSTON -- Angels manager Mike Scioscia called what Houston starter Bud Norris has done to his team this year a "nightmare you cant shake. Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping ." Thankfully for Los Angeles, Scioscias offence woke up when Norris left the game before the eighth inning and found a way to put the Astros away for a 4-2 win on Friday night. Pinch-runner Peter Bourjos scored the go-ahead run in the eighth on an error and Erick Aybar added a two-run single in the ninth to help the Angels to the victory. Hank Conger doubled off Paul Clemens (4-3) to start the eighth. Conger was replaced by Bourjos before Aybar drew a walk. Bourjos took third on a fly out by J.B. Shuck. Shortstop Ronny Cedenos error on the play, when he bounced the ball trying to pick off Aybar at second, allowed Bourjos to dash home just ahead of the throw. Aybars bases-loaded single sent two home and extended the lead to 4-1 in the ninth. Houstons Jason Castro homered in the fourth before Mike Trout tied it at 1 with an RBI single in the sixth. The Angels had scored 33 runs on 46 hits in their last four games. But Norris, who entered the game having allowed just one run in three starts -- all wins -- against Los Angeles this season, continued to be tough on the Angels. He yielded four hits and no earned runs with five strikeouts in seven innings. "Hes thrown as well as anybody weve faced this year, probably better than anybody weve faced on a consistent basis," Scioscia said. "Hes got that fastball thats sneaky and hes mixing his breaking ball in. I thought we had better at-bats against him tonight but the results were pretty much what weve seen the first several times hes pitched against us." Conger was glad they were finally able to win a game against the Astros when Norris was pitching and extend their winning streak to four games. "Its huge," he said. "Just the fact that we were able to pull off a win facing Bud Norris, knowing how well hes been throwing against us. That was one that we really needed coming off the road trip with Detroit and bringing that momentum here was really huge for us." Los Angeles starter Jerome Williams limited Houston to five hits and a run over 6 1-3 innings. Dane De La Rosa (3-1) and Kevin Jepsen pitched 1 2-3 scoreless innings before Ernesto Frieri allowed one run in the ninth for his 20th save. The win by Los Angeles breaks a four-game losing streak to the Astros, but the Angels still trail Houston 7-4 this season. Houston manager Bo Porter was disappointed with the two errors his team made that led to two runs. The Astros lead the majors with 63 errors this season. "Weve all played this game and understand that mistakes do happen and errors are a part of the game," he said. "For the most part its the speed of the game and the mental part that we definitely need to clean up." Houston had several chances to add to its run total. Perhaps the best opportunity came in the eighth inning. Jose Altuve walked with one out and stole second base. A single by Brett Wallace sent him to third but Jepsen retired Castro and Chris Carter to end the threat. Castro opened Houstons fourth with his homer to the bullpen in right-centre to make it 1-0. Williams got back on track after that, retiring the next three batters. Cedeno walked with no outs in the fifth, but Williams still faced the minimum in that inning when Cedeno was thrown out trying to steal second on a strikeout by Barnes. Aybar started the sixth with a single and advanced to second on an error by Brandon Barnes. A one-out single by Trout sent Aybar home to tie it at 1-all. Altuve singled in the sixth before Castro took a one-out walk. But Houston came away empty-handed when Altuve was caught trying to steal third before Carter grounded into a force out. Carlos Pena and J.D. Martinez hit back-to-back singles to start the seventh and chase Williams. Pena was thrown out trying to advance to third on the single by Martinez. De La Rosa struck out Cedeno before centre fielder Trout made an excellent running catch on a sharp fly ball hit by Matt Dominguez to end the inning. Barnes made a pair of nifty defensive plays in the third inning. The first one came when he sprinted and leaped to grab a fly ball hit by Conger before crashing into the padded wall in centre field and falling to the ground for the first out of the third. He then ended the inning by dashing to make a diving catch on a liner hit by Shuck. Scioscia was impressed by Congers at-bats on Friday. "Hank hit the ball hard every time," Scioscia said. "Drove the ball well to centre field; Barnes made a couple good plays on him. And then he just hammered that last one for a double in the eighth and was the start of our go-ahead rally."

New York Giants owner John Mara on Wednesday defended the teams decision to re-sign Josh Brown, saying his club was comfortable with the facts in the 2015 domestic violence allegations against the kicker.All I can tell you is that were aware of all the allegations, and I believe all the facts and circumstances, and we were comfortable with our decision to re-sign him, Mara said Wednesday.Maras comments were his first on the allegations against Brown, as he declined to answer questions from reporters over the weekend in Buffalo, where the Giants played a preseason game against the Bills. Giants general manager Jerry Reese also declined to answer questions about Brown.Mara said domestic violence is not a black or white issue.You very rarely have a Ray Rice video, he said.Mara noted that the charges were dropped within a couple days after Browns arrest in 2015 following an incident with his now ex-wife.Nothing has happened in the meantime to make us question that decision, Mara said.The Giants owner said domestic violence is an issue ... that we take very seriously here.Everybody in this building, players and employees alike, go through a training program on issues like domestic violence and sexual abuse and DUI, he said.We have worked very closely for many, many years, long before this became a hot-button topic, with an organization called My Sisters Place, and this is an issue that is very personal to a lot of us.Last week, Brown, 37, was suspended one game for violating the leagues conduct policy. The ban stems from the domestic violence case in May 2015.Mara and the Giants also denied there was a blackmail incident. Molly Brown alleged that the Giants basically did what they needed to do to make the guy goo away when the Browns were involved in a dispute with their Hoboken, New Jersey, landlord. Cheap Nike Football Jerseys. .That is ridiculous, Mara said when asked about the blackmail claim. That is completely ridiculous.The Giants later clarified that Mara did not understand the question. They said there was no blackmail incident, but they did refer Josh Brown to a lawyer to handle the Hoboken matter.The Giants signed kicker Randy Bullock earlier this week, in the wake of Browns suspension. Bullock said he was told he was signed to compete with Brown.Molly Brown, Josh Browns ex-wife, told police that he had been physically violent with her on more than 20 instances over the past several years, but the NFL said last Friday it arrived at a one-game suspension for him in part because the league was unable to gather information from Molly Brown and law enforcement officers during its investigation.Last week, Josh Brown said he informed the Giants of the 2015 charge on the day of the incident, and a team spokesman confirmed they knew of that incident.The NFLs domestic violence policy establishes a six-game baseline for first offenses but allows for aggravating circumstances that can make the suspension longer or mitigating circumstances that can make it shorter.The Giants re-signed Brown this offseason to a two-year, $4 million deal.Mara said it would have been an easy decision not to re-sign Brown, but Im trying to be fair to him as well. I think hes trying to do the right thing. He deserves an opportunity to show that he can do that.ESPNs Jordan Raanan and Josina Anderson contributed to this report. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
