ANAHEIM, Calif. - Howie Kendrick knows how difficult it is to hit home runs at Angel Stadium at night. Two of his drives against Nick Martinez didnt make it past the warning track. Kendrick got another chance in the 10th inning and hit an RBI double to give Los Angeles a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Saturday night. Josh Hamilton started the rally with an infield single against Neal Cotts (2-4), and Kendrick greeted Jason Frasor with a drive to the fence in left-centre on a 3-2 pitch with the runner going. "Right there, I was just trying to stay honest. I didnt know whether he was going to throw me a fastball or not, because hes got a split also," Kendrick said. "So I was just trying to see the ball up. They were playing me to the opposite field, so there was a big gap in left-centre. I put a good swing on it and hit it in the right spot." Mike Morin (1-1) pitched one inning for his first major league victory, striking out three and hitting a batter. Jered Weaver allowed a run and four hits through eight innings, struck out five and walked two. The three-time All-Star left with a 2-1 lead after C.J. Crons leadoff homer in the eighth, but Kevin Jepsen promptly surrendered a home run to centre field by Shin-Soo Choo on his second pitch in the ninth. Jepsen, who has only three saves in six full big-league seasons, was given the chance to close by manager Mike Scioscia just two days after Ernesto Frieri gave up a walkoff grand slam to Clevelands Nick Swisher in the 10th inning of a 5-3 loss. Cam Bedrosian, who took the loss in that game, was optioned to Double-A Arkansas before Saturdays contest after giving up nine runs, eight hits and seven walks in 5 2-3 innings over his first six big-league appearances. Nick Martinez allowed two runs and three hits in seven-plus innings after retiring his first 15 batters. The 23-year-old right-hander gave a needed boost to a beleaguered pitching staff that had surrendered 10 or more hits in six straight games — the teams longest such streak since a nine-game stretch in August 2008. Martinez recorded 10 of his first 15 outs on fly balls — including two by Kendrick that were caught on the warning track — and another deep drive by Cron. "Thats the nature of this ballpark. You love it and hate it, but its not going to change for me or anybody else," Kendrick said. "Ive been playing here for a while, so you come to expect those things sometimes. The biggest thing is just going up there and trying to put good at-bats together and put good swings on the ball." Hank Conger broke up Martinezs perfect string with an opposite-field double into the left-field corner on a 2-1 count leading off the sixth and scored on a groundout by Efren Navarro that tied it 1-all. "Martinez threw a heck of a game on their side. I didnt know if we were going to get to him or not, but we were able to squeak one across," Weaver said. Weaver pitched with runners on base in four of the first five innings and didnt get his first strikeout until fanning Brad Snyder to open the fifth. Designated hitter Alex Rios, who came in 4 for 25 against the right-hander, led off the second with a double and was stranded at third when Robinson Chrinos popped out and Michael Choice grounded out. Choo led off the fourth with a grounder toward the hole that went under second baseman Kendricks glove for an error, but he kept going and was thrown out by right fielder Kole Calhoun. "If he gets to second there, that would have made all the difference in the game. So for Kole to come up with a big play there was huge," Weaver said. "Hes scrappy and he plays with a lot of emotion on his sleeve, and hes shown what hes capable of doing — not only on the offensive side but the defensive side as well." Adrian Beltre followed with a single and was erased on a double-play grounder by Rios, who got into an argument with umpire Vic Carapazza about a previous pitch that was called a strike and was ejected. Donnie Murphy replaced him as the designated hitter. Carapazza also ejected Choice in the 10th for arguing balls and strikes after taking back-to-back pitches that appeared to be out of the zone. That ran Texass season total to six ejections. "Hes got a quick trigger finger. He needs to settle down a little bit," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "This is the big leagues. Theres going to be some tension flying around, and hes got to be able to deal with some of that. People are out there competing. Hes got to have some patience. Hes got to control himself. Its ridiculous." NOTES: Weaver ended a career-worst streak in which he had allowed a home run in seven consecutive starts. ... Angels 1B Albert Pujols missed the game due to pain in his lower back.

Samir Nasris 88th-minute equalizer at Etihad Stadium will be of little consolation to City, which is now six points behind league leader Liverpool and four points behind second-place Chelsea. Third-place City has a game in hand but the surprise result against Sunderland, coupled with Sundays 3-2 loss at Liverpool, may be a setback too far in its bid for a second championship in three seasons.

It was an interesting question we discussed on air for a brief time among us CFL panel people and discussed in length off air. Montreal beat Ottawa 20-10 to start Week 11 and the similarities are profound yet common. Both teams are trying to win while also trying to find good players that you want to sign to extended contracts. For Ottawa, it is about finding and developing top 24 starters on offense and defense. With Montreal, it is about only one player - a quarterback. Jonathan Crompton was good against Ottawa last week but not great. He had 245 yards, completing 60 per cent, no interceptions and a touchdown. Thats good but not great. When you consider there are 117 Division 1 schools that play football in the United States, 124 Division 2 schools, 300 Division 3 schools and approximately 30 CIS schools, the initial response is it must be easy to find players. Every one of those schools has at least 10 players of good ability that would love to play football for money. And they do, but finding the best ones that can play is an odyssey of difficulty in a world all its own. All those schools do have a quarterback of some talent and you would think that there is a surplus. They do, and there isnt. To answer the question: What is harder to find, 24 starters or a really good quarterback, I think it is the quarterback. His quality value may outshine 23 other players. In Saskatchewan, the Riders have moved to 7-2 and looked good in the process. Going into last weeks game against Winnipeg, they ran 402 plays -- 213 were pass plays and 189 were run plays. At the end of the 35-30 win, they totaled 239 pass plays and 215 run plays this season. Thats right, in the Winnipeg game they had 26 run plays and 26 pass plays. Remarkable balance in run/pass ratio and it goes a long way to keeping a defense completely off balance. Saskatchewan still has to play Calgary twice - on October 3 at home and on October 24 in Calgary - and they have Edmonton three times, with the last one at home on the last gaame of the year.dddddddddddd Those five are going to determine first place in the West. The final drive by Saskatchewan in Sundays game against the Bombers was impressive. They were on their own 35 yard line, 2:58 to go and down 30-28. Nine plays later, they are up by five and ran the ball for 62 of the 75 yards. That is impressive, as Saskatchewan took control and made it happen. In Hamilton, there were three stories. First, the new stadium, which by everyone I have talked to, was a successful debut in all ways conceivable. Second was quarterback Zach Collaros. Did he find his personal magic? I thought so. He was 21-of-38 for 71 per cent, one touchdown and no interceptions. Considering the absence of playing time and coming off a concussion, that is magic to me. The third story is: Can this change a season for Hamilton? New empowering home, quarterback back and an East Division that is wide open. Hamilton does visit Montreal next so that is focus number one, but their last five games are all in the East so in a very real way their future in playoff opportunity may be right there for the taking from October 10 on. Instead of losing a close game, they won one with six against the East, four against the West. It can still be a good season in Hamilton and at Tim Hortons Field. Final game of Week 11 saw Calgary beat Edmonton 28-13. The Stampeders have now won the head-to-head series, winning the first game 26-22 back on July 24. After this weeks game on Saturday, that is it for head-to-head, so winning the season series is the best end of season tiebreaker there is. It will be tougher this Saturday night, as Edmonton will feel the urgency and should have Mike Rielly back. Matt Nichols is good but Mike Reilly can be great. And finally; now every team has their stadium that is traditional over time or brand new or on its way to being brand new. Come on, Toronto! Something has to give in the near or soon-to-be near future. Without a good home field or a good home practice environment, you just cant play the way you need to create a winning team.
