CLEVELAND -- Travis Hafner returned to Clevelands lineup and the Indians Derek Lowe got back in the win column. Brandon Weeden Youth Jersey . Lowe won for the first time in more than a month as Cleveland pounded out 14 hits, including three-run homers by Michael Brantley and Casey Kotchman, to beat the Los Angeles Angels 12-3 Wednesday. Hafner went 1 for 3 with two walks in his first game since having right knee surgery May 31. Lowe (8-6) gave up three runs and 11 hits in six innings for his first win in six starts since June 1. The 39-year-old was 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA in five outings between victories. "Its great to see the guys get a lot of runs," Lowe said. "Then its up to me not to walk guys and give it back." Michael Brantley hit a three-run homer in the first inning off Ervin Santana (4-9) and Casey Kotchman had a three-run shot in a six-run second as Cleveland took a 9-1 lead. Johnny Damon had a season-high three of Clevelands 14 hits. The Indians totalled 21 runs in two wins after being shut out 3-0 in the series opener. "We had a lot of quality at-bats and you could see Hafners effect right away," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "He just wore out Santana and then Brantley hit that homer." With two outs and Jason Kipnis on first with a walk, Hafner drew an 11-pitch walk. Brantley followed with his second homer for a 3-0 lead. "Brantley got a good pitch to hit," Damon said. "Certain players (Hafner) make others around them better." The Angels loaded the bases with no outs in the second, but scored only once. Lowe threw a called third strike past Erick Aybar before Maicer Izturis grounded into a run-scoring forceout. With runners on first and third, Jack Hannahan ranged behind the bag at third to get a grounder hit by Bobby Wilson. His long throw got the slow-running catcher by a step at first for the third out. "That was huge," Acta said. "Guys with that power sinker are always one pitch away from doing that, getting the ground ball. He made 18 first-pitch strikes and knows how to pitch with a lead." Lowe said getting Aybar relieved some of the pressure. "The biggest pitch was the 3-2 curve for the strikeout," he said. "But pitching in games like this isnt always easy. You afraid to nibble and walk guys, but dont want to throw it down the middle, either." Cleveland made it 9-1 in the bottom half. Shin-Soo Choo had an RBI double and Asdrubal Cabrera a run-scoring groundout. First baseman Albert Pujols fielded Cabreras ball, but dropped it before he could throw home and settled for picking it up and stepping on the bag for the out. Choo took third play and scored on Kipnis single for a 6-1 lead. Santana left after Hafner singled Kipnis to second. The right-hander allowed eight runs and six hits over 1 1-3 innings and fell to 1-8 with a 5.03 ERA in 13 starts against Cleveland. The win was a no-hitter at Progessive Field last July 27. "Obviously, a rough outing," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said as Santana dropped to 2-4 with a 7.45 ERA on the road this year. "We need Ervin to pick it up. Hes a guy were counting on in our rotation." Reliever Hisanori Takahashi came on and got one out before Kotchman hit a three-run homer to right. Pujols had a strange series, despite going 3 for 9 with a homer in the three games. He went 1 for 3 against Lowe, but was out trying to stretch a single to a double in the third, trailing by eight runs. He hustled of the batters box, but was out by yards at second on a throw by Damon -- not known for a strong throwing arm. Damon exchanged high-fives with fans after the play. "I threw and a fan yelled, Great throw, and I said, No, I left it up, " Damon said. "I was talking and the guy said, Hes out! I looked at second base and said, Youre absolutely right. I had no clue." Later, Pujols hit a high drive that drew oohs and ahhs from the crowd. The ball died in the humid air and plopped into Damons glove at the warning track as Pujols stood with head cocked, hands on hips, staring in disbelief. Tuesday night, Pujols made a crucial throwing error that enabled two runs to score in the Angels 9-5 loss. And on Monday night, he over-ran second base on a wild pitch and was thrown out. Lou Marson had an RBI single and Cabrera a run-scoring double in Clevelands three-run fifth off Jason Isringhausen. Alberto Callaspo had a sacrifice fly and Izturis an RBI single in the Angels sixth.

Greg Little Jersey .Y. - Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch is headed to the Pro Bowl as an injury replacement for Tennessees Chris Johnson. Trent Richardson Jersey . Christine Nesbitt of London, Ont., added a bronze in the womens event. Morrison, from Fort St. John, B.C., posted a time of one minute 8.71 seconds for the victory at Kolomna Speedskating Center, 100 kilometres southeast of Moscow. http://www.cheapclevelandbrownsjerseys.com/trent-richardson-jerseys .

Joe Haden Jersey . Canadian forward Alex Burrows will not play as he remains under observation for the next few days as part of the concussion protocol. Defenceman Kyle Quincey has been added to the rsoter and will meet the team in Helsinki on Sunday. Jim Brown Jersey . LOUIS -- Logan Couture and the San Jose Sharks are looking for a winning streak to gain some traction in the highly competitive Western Conference. (Sports Network) - If the Rangers were looking for some confidence with a possible playoff matchup with the Yankees on the horizon, they may have gotten some in Fridays opener of a three-game series. One day after homering its way to a third straight victory, Texas will hope to extend New York starter A.J. Burnetts recent struggles Saturday night in Arlington. The American League-East leading Yankees had won four of five over the Rangers this year heading into Fridays opener, perhaps giving them an advantage if they should meet the AL West front runners in the postseason. However, Texas showed it can play with New York after pounding out a 6-5 victory in 13 innings after five hours and 12 minutes of game time. Nelson Cruz hit the tying home run off Joba Chamberlain in the eighth inning, then made his club a winner with a 13th-inning long ball off Chad Gaudin. Texas used a club-record 11 pitchers to extend its winning streak that has followed a five-game slide, with Scott Feldman taking the victory. A team effort, said Texas manager Ron Washington, whose club leads second- place Oakland by 7 1/2 games. Thank God we were in September and we had the people to keep the game in hand. A great team effort. Those guys battled, and they certainly deserved it. Alex Rodriguez had a two-run double, while Marcus Thames and Francisco Cervelli produced RBI singles for the Yankees, who have lost four of five and saw their edge over the second-place Rays fall to 1 1/2 games. Though New York has won all three meetings with Texas at home this year, it has now lost two of three in Arlington. Theyve got a great lineup from top too bottom, and they can beat you in a lot of ways, Chamberlain said. Elite Trent Richardson Jersey. They did it with the long ball today. Though Texas got shortstop Elvis Andrus back after a five-game absence due to right hamstring tightness, outfielder Josh Hamilton missed his sixth consecutive contest due to a bruised rib cage. Burnett would rather not see Hamilton tonight given his current slump. The Yankees starter is just 1-5 over his last seven starts with a 6.91 earned run average. After picking up a victory versus Oakland on Sept. 1 with six innings of three-run ball, the right-hander was battered for four runs on seven hits and four walks over seven innings of a loss to Baltimore on Monday. It was a good start but I was 0-for-2 in shut down innings. ... I wasnt able to shut them down after we scored, said Burnett, who set a career high with his 13th loss of the season. Burnett, who is 10-13 with a 5.15 ERA this year, beat the Rangers at home on April 17 with seven scoreless innings, then did not factor into the decision of an Aug. 10 start against them after giving up three runs over seven innings. The Rangers Tommy Hunter will aim to maintain his perfect 2010 home record try to get back on track tonight and after having a three-start winning streak end on Monday in Toronto. Hunter struggled keeping the ball in the park, as three of the seven hits he allowed were homers. The 24-year-old righty gave up seven runs over seven innings, falling to 12-3 with a 3.99 ERA. Hunter, who is 7-0 at home, has faced the Yankees just once in his career, allowing five runs over 4 1/3 innings in a loss in August of 2008. ' ' '
