SEATTLE -- Mike Trout had a disappointing 25th birthday to cap yet another rough series for the Los Angeles Angels. Kyle Tucker Jersey .Trout struck out four times against starter James Paxton, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Angels 3-1 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.I cant pick his stuff up. I dont know. It was just one of those days, said Trout, who struck out four times for the fourth time in his career, the last time also against Paxton on Sept. 7, 2014. Just not picking it up, not getting my foot down.Paxton was forced from the game in the ninth inning after taking Andrelton Simmons line drive off his left arm. X-rays were negative, and the left-hander has just a contusion on his left elbow. Hes listed as day-to-day.Paxton (4-5), who was on the verge of his first career complete game, struck out six with one walk in a career-high 8 1/3 innings.Seattle erased a 1-0 deficit with three runs in the fourth inning off Matt Shoemaker (6-12), although the Angels prevented a bigger inning with two stellar defensive plays.Seth Smith, Kyle Seager and Nelson Cruz opened with consecutive singles for the first run. After Adam Lind was hit by a pitch to load the bases, Trout prevented a grand slam with a leaping catch above the center-field wall on Leonys Martins sacrifice fly that made it 2-1.Mike Zunino then bounced to shortstop Simmons, who threw out Cruz at home. Mike Freeman, called up earlier in the day from Triple-A Tacoma, followed with an RBI single.Paxton had good stuff and pitched a strong game. Shoe had his back up against the wall, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. In the fourth inning we made some nice defensive plays to keep ourselves in, but those guys kept pressuring us and got the three runs.Shoemaker allowed three runs on seven hits in seven innings, striking out three and hitting three batters.You could name it all, maybe a little bit of bad luck, some mislocated pitches that got hit fairly well, Shoemaker said. It was just kind of a mixture of things.The Angels pushed across an unearned run in the third after shortstop Sean OMalley booted Shane Robinsons one-out chopper. Robinson came around on singles by Kole Calhoun and Albert Pujols.In the ninth, Simmons reached on an infield single on the liner off Paxton. Tom Wilhelmsen came on and allowed a two-out walk to pinch-hitter Ji-Man Choi, but got Johnny Giavotella on a game-ending ground out to short.The sweep was the first of the Angels by Seattle since Sept. 26-28, 2014. Trout had two homers, a triple and seven RBI in the series, but also struck out seven times in 11 at-bats.Against Paxton, Trout is 2 for 20 with 10 strikeouts.CANOS STREAK ENDSSeattle 2B Robinson Cano was given the day off, ending his consecutive games started streak at 167, the longest in the majors.CHEERING FOR ICHIRPlayers were still on the field after the game when the scoreboard at Safeco Field showed Ichiro Suzukis 3,000th hit in major league baseball for the Miami Marlins at Colorado, drawing applause from Mariners players and fans. Suzuki, who made his major league debut in 2001 with Seattle at the age of 27 after an illustrious career in Japan, had a team-high 2,533 hits in his 11 1/2 seasons with the Mariners. He set the major league record for hits in a single season with 262 in 2004.TRAINING ROOMAngels: 3B Yunel Escobar, who injured his left knee on the final play Saturday, was scratched Sunday from the leadoff spot after the knee bothered him during pregame warm-ups.UP NEXTAngels: After a day off Monday, Los Angeles heads to Chicago for a two-game series against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. In two career starts against the Cubs, RHP Jered Weaver (8-8, 5.11) has allowed just one earned run in 13 innings. Carlos Beltran Jersey . -- The goal posts lying flat on the field, Arizonas fans lingered on the field, congregating around the locker room entrance nearly 30 minutes after rushing out of the stands. Don Wilson Jersey . Jason Zucker and Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota, which has won five of six. Kuemper made five saves in the first, nine in the second, and nine in the third. The rookies best save came with 2:17 left in the third period when he denied former Wild forward Matt Cullen from just outside of the crease on the right side. http://www.customastrosjersey.com/ . U.S. District Judge Lorna G. Schofield in Manhattan agreed that lawyers on both sides could make their formal requests by Nov. 8. A hearing is scheduled for a day earlier. Jordan Siev, a lawyer for Rodriguez, wrote in a joint letter to the judge from lawyers on both sides that MLB lawyers planned to ask that the lawsuit be dismissed. Worcestershire 201 for 3 dec (Mitchell 107*, Fell 66) and 404 for 8 (Mitchell 103, Clarke 125, Sanderson 4-74) beat Northamptonshire 551 (Keogh 154, Crook 145, Barrett 114*) and 50-1 dec by 2 wicketsScorecardWorcestershire kept alive their faint hopes of winning promotion in the Specsavers County Championship when beating Northamptonshire by two wickets after declarations by both teams at New Road.Set to make 401, they had one of the available 80 overs to spare on completing their highest successful run chase in a home fixture after centuries by Daryl Mitchell - who made 107 not and 103 in the match - and Joe Clarke (125).Both batsmen were out in a burst of three wickets in five deliveries by Ben Sanderson but Ross Whiteley dipped into his one-day repertoire with four sixes in a 30-ball 45 and Ben Cox made 34 in their stand of 78 in nine overs.The game swayed again with two wickets in three balls but Joe Leach got his side over the line from the last delivery of the 79th over. The vice-captain reached an unbeaten 33 with a match-winning six off Sanderson, restoring confidence ahead of a must-win game against leaders Essex at Chelmsford, starting next Wednesday. After a rain-shortened third day, a formula was devised to prevent the game from spluttering into a dead-end, although Alex Wakely may have had some reservations about exposing Northants weakened attack to so much bowling on a hot day.In the morning Worcestershire declared their first innings 350 behind at 201 for three and Northamptonshire halted their second innings at 50 for one.With the calculations done, the home side made a sticky start. In five overs from Rory Kleinveldt, Brett DOliveira was caught low down by wickettkeeper David Murphy and Tom Fell, after a couple of imposing cover drives, shouldered arms when bowled for 22. Jose Cruz Jersey. With the score 48 for two, the equation at lunchtime was 353 from 65 overs but Mitchell and Clarke batted through the afternoon, increasing the tempo as the partnership developed, and at tea the requirement was down to 202 from 35 overs.In the final session, Clarke was first to a hundred, his fourth of the season in the championship and fifth in first-class games, after hitting 16 fours from 129 balls. In the process he reached 1,000 runs in a season for the first time.Mitchell, having earlier passed 10,000 first-class in his career, then completed two centuries in a match for the third time in the championship. In his understated way, he got to the milestone with only nine fours from 160 deliveries.Their untroubled progress in putting on 232 trimmed the requirement to 133 at around six runs an over but the pressure built up with Sandersons intervention.From the last ball of the 57th over, Mitchell danced forward but succeeded only in slicing a catch to substitute Graeme White at point and from the first of the 59th over George Rhodes clipped a low chance to Wakely at mid-wicket.What Worcestershire could not afford was to lose Clarke as well but the worst happened when he tried to turn a ball on the leg-side but missed and was given out lbw.Northants stuck to their task all the way and were rewarded when Chad Barrett yorked Whiteley, Cox chipped Rob Keogh to mid-on and Ed Barnard gave Sanderson a fourth success with a catch behind.
