BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles cruised into the All-Star break with a performance that typified their play for much of the first half of the season.Baltimore got another solid start from Chris Tillman, and the Orioles added two more homers to their major league-leading total in a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.The Orioles reached the break atop the AL East with a 51-36 record, including 33-14 at home.Were just trying to do everything to make sure were as good as were capable of being, manager Buck Showalter said.Tillman pitched seven innings of three-hit ball, and Chris Davis and J.J. Hardy homered to help Baltimore capture the deciding matchup of the three-game series.The Orioles have 137 home runs, the most theyve ever hit before the break.There are always things that you can work on, but I like the position that were in right now, Davis said. Obviously, finishing off the first half with two wins at home is good to build some momentum going into the second half of the season.Tillman (12-2) didnt have a perfect inning until the seventh. But the right-hander allowed only one runner past second base and offset his season-high five walks with five strikeouts.The end result was good, Tillman said. We came out on top. It was a grind. It was a grind from the get-go. I was missing with all my pitches early. Fortunately, we were able to kind of get in somewhat of a rhythm and mix some pitches and get out of innings.Brad Brach worked the eighth and Zach Britton got three outs for his 27th save in 27 opportunities.Angels starter Tim Lincecum (1-3) gave up three runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings. The 32-year-old was making his fifth start since signing with the Angels on May 20.Lincecum kept the Orioles in check with the exception of an opposite-field, two-run shot in the fourth inning by Davis that made it 2-1.The best weve seen him, manager Mike Scioscia said. He made very few mistakes.Lincecum was pleased with his outing, especially after giving five runs in 4 2/3 innings in his previous start at Tampa Bay.I thought I challenged guys pretty well, the right-hander said. Made some pitches when I had to and my defense played real well, too.Well, not exactly.Los Angeles fell into a 3-1 hole in the sixth after a two-out popup by Pedro Alvarez dropped between shortstop Andrelton Simmons and left fielder Ji-Man Choi. Simmons exacerbated the miscue by throwing wildly to second base. Hardy followed with an RBI single.There was a mix up in communication, Scioscia said.Mike Trout and Albert Pujols had RBI for the Angels, who reached the break in last place for the first time since 1999.Pujols got Los Angeles to 3-2 with a sacrifice fly in the eighth, but Hardy countered with a solo shot off Huston Street in the bottom half. It was his first homer since April 12.Angels third baseman Yunel Escobar was ejected in the seventh inning while in the field.REPLAY REVERSALLos Angeles got a first-inning run when a call at the plate was reversed after a replay review. Kole Calhoun was initially ruled out on a double by Trout before manager Mike Scioscia challenged the call.The lead stood up until Davis hit his 22nd home run after Mark Trumbos leadoff single.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: 1B C.J. Cron was in the clubhouse Sunday, his broken left hand in a soft cast. The injury occurred Friday when he was hit by a pitch. He is scheduled to see a specialist on Monday.Orioles: LF Hyun Soo Kim strained his right hamstring running out a first-inning grounder and was removed from the game.UP NEXTAngels: Los Angeles comes out of the All-Star break on Friday with a matchup against the visiting Chicago White Sox.Orioles: Yovani Gallardo will start against Tampa Bay on Friday as Baltimore launches the second half with a seven-game road trip.Vita Vea Buccaneers Jersey . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December.

Anthony Nelson Buccaneers Jersey . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. Mike Edwards Jersey . 4 Villanova with a 96-68 drubbing on Monday.

He remains unsigned due to a dispute over how his signing bonus will be disbursed.He definitely needs to be out here as a rookie, McCoy said. Well just keep on working at that and eventually itll be done. He needs to be here, especially as a younger player, with installations and playing with your teammates and things like that. Were going to coach the ones who are here.Until Bosa signs, other young players will have to take advantage of increased practice time.Youve got to make the most of every single opportunity, McCoy said. When he gets back, someones reps are going to get cut back, so its an important couple of days for some younger players to step in and do their job.One of Bosas agents, Tom Condon, has sparred with the Chargers before, most famously in 2004 when he told them the Manning family preferred that they not take Eli with the first pick in the draft. The Chargers did anyway, and then traded Manning to the New York Giants for Philip Rivers. Other big-name Condon clients LaDainian Tomlinson, Drew Brees andThe Chargers are trying to bounce back from a 4-12 season that included losing every game against AFC West rivals.They also hope to play well before Election Day, when voters will be asked to approve an increase in the hotel tax to help pay for a new downtown stadium. The measure is considered a longshot, especially in the wake of team chairman Dean Spanos failed attempt to mmove to Los Angeles and build a new stadium with the rival Oakland Raiders.dddddddddddd.McCoy defended Melvin Gordon when asked the difference in the running back from the end of last season, which ended with a knee injury that required microfracture surgery. Gordon, San Diegos first-round draft pick in 2015, failed to score a touchdown or have a 100-yard game. He lost four of his six fumbles and was benched twice.Im going to make one thing clear about Melvin -- ts not Melvin Gordon, the running game, McCoy said. Lets make that clear right now. I want to stop talking about him individually and things like that. In order for Melvin Gordon to have success in our system, OK,, the other 10 guys have to do their jobs better. And Melvins got to do his job better. Hell tell you some things he has to clean up. But I get a little sick of talking about just one guy on offense when here are 10 other guys out there. I want to make sure from Day One the entire team has got to run the ball better and weve got to do a better job on defense on stopping the run. But he looked great today.McCoy said he was very pleased where he is in his attitude, his mindset, but really looking forward to seeing him play this year.Gordon said he feels more confident about himself and the playbook.Gordon worked out in Houston with, among others, Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings.Gordon said he tries not to think of his knee.Im just at the point right now. Im just trying to get better for the team. Im not thinking about any of that. He said.---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
