ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Jose Altuve might be tired but it didnt show.On a day where Houston manager A.J. Hinch considered giving the second baseman a day off, Altuve went 4 for 5 and scored four runs to help the Astros beat the Los Angeles Angels 10-4 on Wednesday and completed the sweep of the three-game series.It was the second time Houston has swept Los Angeles in the last two weeks. The Astros finished the six games with 37 runs. It was Houstons eighth straight win over their AL West rivals, extending the longest winning streak against Los Angeles in franchise history.Houston has gone 35-20 since May 1, the third-best mark in the AL in that span.Altuve, who extended his career-high on-base streak to 32 games, was a home run shy of the cycle and finished the series 8 for 14 with two RBI and six runs.He and I talked late into the night last night and even a little bit this morning because he is a little tired, believe it or not, and he came in to talk about it early, Hinch said. We didnt connect and luckily, we didnt make the decision to take him out of the lineup.While Hinch said he may get a few days off during the next homestand, Altuve had to protest to stay in the lineup for Wednesdays series finale.He tried to give me the day off today and yesterday, but I didnt think that was a good idea, Altuve said. I just said it just to try to be in the lineup.The Angels, who left 12 men on base, finished the homestand 1-6 and went 8-18 over the month of June. The Angels are a season-high 15 games under .500 (32-47). Its the fewest wins the Angels have recorded in June since 1980.The loss prompted a team meeting that Angels manager Mike Scioscia said was positive.We need to get better, and were going to continue to work hard on that goal. Scioscia said. Theres no sense looking back. We need to start getting some games on our terms and winning situations early, and get some guy coming in out of the pen making pitches, and right now were struggling.Dallas Keuchel (5-9) limited the Angels to three runs and six hits over six innings to win his second straight decision.My fastball had a lot of life on it, Keuchel said. I was trying to kind of figure out where I needed to start the fastball and it took me a little bit I got it under control and finished strong.Jered Weaver (6-7) pitched into the sixth inning but left after giving up a one-out solo home run to George Springer. In his third loss in five starts, Weaver allowed six earned runs and seven hits, walked four and struck out three.Houston added three runs in the ninth against Angels closer Huston Street, who has given up eight runs and 12 hits in his last six appearances.KEUCHELS COMPLAINTDespite the win, Keuchel didnt seem entirely happy with the way home plate umpire Gerry Davis called the strike zone, lamenting the fact that he walked three batters.I feel like I have like 20 career walks when Gerry Davis is behind the plate, Keuchel said. Hes a tight one and hes known for that.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: C Geovany Soto will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake. Soto played 20 games before undergoing surgery to repair a torn right meniscus. He placed on the 15-day DL May 18.UP NEXTAstros: RHP Mike Fiers (5-3) made an early exit in his last start giving up three runs, two earned, in 4 1/3 innings against the Kansas City Royals.

HOOVER, Ala. -- Kirby Smarts backfield uncertainty going into the season extends beyond who will be the starting quarterback.The first-year Georgia coach already had Nick Chubb working his way back from a knee injury when 1,000-yard rusher Sony Michel broke his left forearm in an all-terrain vehicle accident on July 3.Thats a tough situation, Smart said Tuesday at Southeastern Conference media days. Who would have thought at this point in time both guys would be on the sideline rehabbing?Both Chubb and Michel are among the leagues top runners, but it remains to be seen if either will be available for the opener Sept. 3 against North Carolina.Georgia has said Michel was expected to be out 6-8 weeks recovering from surgery. Chubb was averaging 124.5 yards per game when he went down against Tennessee last October. Michel replaced him and racked up 1,161 yards on the season, only to sustain the off-the-field injury two months before the season.I dont know the expectation for Sony, if hell be back or not, Smart said, referring to the first game. Well know a lot more when we get closer to the season.Smart said Chubb wont start out in preseason camp going through scrimmages and full contact work and has to continue regaining confidence in the knee. Freshman Elijah Holyfield, son of former heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield, is among the potential fill-ins.Meanwhile, Georgias quarterback battle continues going into preseason camp among returning starter Greyson Lambert, Brice Ramsey and freshman Jacob Eason.The Bulldogs will definitely start out without defensive end Jonathan Ledbetter, who was arrested twice during a five-month span on alcohol-related charges. Hell be suspendeed at least two games under school policy following a DUI arrest.dddddddddddd Earlier charges involving a fake ID and underage possession of alcohol were dropped.Georgia has had eight player arrests since Smarts hiring in December.Its unfortunate because Ledbetter has worked really hard this summer, Bulldogs offensive lineman Brandon Kublanov said. Hes got some issues off the field. Were not just going to drop him. Hes still part of our family. Well help support him, give him the support that he needs so that one day he can get back on the field with us.Smart brought a resume that included nine years under Alabama coach Nick Saban, including four national titles in his seven seasons as defensive coordinator. His hiring clearly generated excitement since the Bulldogs filled up Sanford Stadium for the spring game. As Smart put it, 93,000 hungry dawg fans came out.The expectations are clear for the former Georgia player. Mark Richt was fired after winning nearly three-quarters of his games over 15 seasons, then was quickly hired by Miami. Smart embraces a philosophy that sounds a lot like Sabans Process at Alabama covering everything from facilities to nutrition.Thats where I want to put my stamp on the University of Georgia, is the difference between a team and program, Smart said. A team is a group of young men playing together. The program is the entirety of that, what goes into that, how do we support these student-athletes off the field.-----Follow John Zenor on Twitter: www.twitter.com/jzenor-----AP College Football website: www.collegefootballap.org ' ' '
