ANAHEIM C.C. Sabathia Jersey , Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani gave yet another glimpse of what he could do at the plate just hours after announcing he planned to undergo Tommy John surgery and return next season only as a hitter.Ohtani’s bat was broken by a Yovani Gallardo slider, but he was strong enough to punch it into center for a single that tied the score and ignite a four-run rally Tuesday to lead the Angels to a 4-1 comeback over the Texas Rangers.Ohtani, Justin Upton, Taylor Ward and Kaleb Cowart all pushed in runs for the Angels.Despite being something of a sensation the first half of the season, Ohtani said he doesn’t feel he has proven he is a legitimate two-way player.“It’s been a small sample size with just one season, so can’t really say I proved to the world that I can continue being a two-way player,” Ohtani said.Texas’ Joey Gallo proved his 40-homer season last year was no fluke, hitting his 40th of this season off Matt Shoemaker in the third. Gallo has three more homers than singles (37) this season.Gallo became the fourth Rangers player to have back-to-back 40-homer seasons.“To do that, and to stay healthy all year http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-randy-johnson-jersey , that’s hard to do,” Gallo said. “You’re playing 162 games, and the second year is always toughest. I knew there would be a dip with people making adjustments so it wasn’t something where I said ‘I’m going to hit 40 again no problem.’ “Gallardo (8-7) looked like he might make the lone run hold up, holding the Angels scoreless on three hits through five innings.But it all went wrong in the sixth. Kole Calhoun led off with a double, and after he advanced to third on a groundout, Mike Trout was walked intentionally.That led to Ohtani’s single off reliever Martin Perez, before third baseman Jurickson Profar’s throwing error on a grounder by Upton allowed Trout to score.The Angels scored another run after shortstop Elvis Andrus and second baseman Roughed Odor collided going for an Andrelton Simmons bouncer up the middle to load the bases. Ward walked to force in a run.Cowart lofted a deep sacrifice fly to left that scored Upton and the Angels had a 4-1 lead.TRAINER’S ROOMRangers: LHP Mike Minor has been shut down for the season. Used exclusively as a reliever by the Royals last season, he emerged as the Rangers’ most effective starter. He went 12-8 with a 4.18 ERA in 28 starts. The 30-year-old Minor threw 157 innings and that was simply deemed enough for this season.Angels: Ohtani has decided to have Tommy John surgery next week in Los Angeles by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. The announcement was expected and Angels manager Mike Scioscia confirmed it means Ohtani will not pitch next season.OHTANI THE HITTERThe two-way star admitted to frustration at not being able to continue as a pitcher next season.“I am disappointed that I’m not going to be able to pitch next season, but I try to take positive out of negative things Andy Pettitte Jersey ,” he said. “Normal (pitchers) won’t be able to play at all next season, but fortunately I’ll play as a hitter.”Ohtani said he was uncertain if he would be ready to hit by opening day: “There’s no really set date, it’s going to depend on how the rehab goes and if there are no setbacks. I’ll have an update every four weeks or so after the surgery. I can’t give a timetable at this point.”SHOEMAKER STRONGThe right-hander gave up only the solo homer to Gallo in his five innings, allowing four hits and striking out seven without a walk. It was the best of his five starts since returning following forearm surgery that forced him to miss most of the season.It was likely his final start of the season.“I don’t know if there’s any more Show has to show this year,” Scioscia said.Said Shoemaker: “Just build off that, go into the offseason and keep getting better.”UP NEXTRangers: LHP Yohander Mendez (2-2, 6.04 ERA) is scheduled to start Wednesday in the series finale. He will be making his fifth career start after allowing a career-high in runs (eight) and hits (nine) in his last start against the Rays.Angels: LHP Andrew Heaney (9-10, 4.21) will attempt to even his record in his final start of the season. He’ll have to do it against a Rangers team he’s gone 1-3 against with a 7.50 ERA against in six career starts. PHOENIX (AP) — Add Nick Pivetta’s Tuesday night performance to the long list of quality outings by Philadelphia starters this season.He threw six scoreless innings, Nick Williams homered and the Phillies bounced back from their marathon loss the previous night to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-2.Pivetta (7-9) scattered five hits http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-gary-sanchez-jersey , struck out six and walked one to get his first win in four starts.“The guys really picked me up on defense,” he said, “and we scored runs when we really needed them. I think the team really pulled together and made this happen today.”Pivetta had gone 2-6 in his 10 previous starts since June 1.“I think the organization has continued to show a great deal of confidence in Nick Pivetta,” Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said, “and this is Nick kind of rewarding the organization for its patience.”The Phillies, who blew a 2-0 lead in the ninth inning and lost 3-2 in 14 in a 4-hour, 38-minute game on Monday, led 5-0 after a four-run eighth.“We know how to take a punch,” Kapler said. “We took a punch last night and it was a hard one David Robertson Jersey , but we bounced back again today. It is sort of the character of our club now. We get knocked down but we pop right back up.”Zack Greinke (12-7) allowed only Williams’ solo homer on three hits in seven innings but lost his second straight, despite giving up a combined three runs in the two outings. He’d gone 7-0 in his previous eight starts. Greinke struck out four and matched his season high with four walks.“It was all right,” he said. “A little wild early and it got better as the game went on. I felt good the whole time but I just wasn’t hitting the spots early.”Philadelphia is up by 1½ games on Atlanta in the NL East and Arizona dropped out of first in the NL West, a half-game behind the Los Angeles Dodgers.“Last night, that one hurt really bad,” Williams said. “But it’s baseball, you know.”The Phillies scored their second run on a bunt by Cesar Hernandez leading off the eighth when Arizona reliever Jake Diekman threw the ball away at first and, backing up the play, right fielder Steven Souza Jr. threw wildly to third.It was uncharacteristic for an Arizona team that leads the majors with a .990 fielding percentage.“Things broke down on us I the eighth inning http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-sonny-gray-jersey ,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. “I know it wasn’t pristine. We play a good brand of baseball here and we are going to address some of those concerns and make sure we don’t do it again.”Asdrubal Cabrera’s bases-loaded double off Diekman brought in two more runs and Jorge Alfaro had an RBI single against reliever Brad Ziegler.Pat Neshek pitched a scoreless ninth for his second save.Paul Goldschmidt doubled in a run and another scored on third baseman Maikel Franco’s fielding error in the eighth for Arizona but Eduardo Escobar grounded into the Diamondbacks’ fourth double play of the night to end the inning.Greinke, who had 25 walks all season entering the game, walked two in each of the first two innings and escaped both times.But Williams hit the first pitch of the third just over the right field fence to put the Phillies up 1-0.“I wasn’t looking for a certain pitch,” Williams said. “I was just looking for something up.”Greinke settled down from there.But Arizona could get nothing going against Pivetta.A.J. Pollock and Escobar opened the Diamondbacks’ fourth with singles before Steven Souza Jr. grounded into a double play. Pollock was stranded at third when Ketel Marte flew out to center.The Diamondbacks’ Nick Ahmed hit into double plays to end the second and seventh.TRAINERS ROOMPhillies: INF J.P. Crawford (broken left hand) could be activated for Wednesday’s series finale, manager Gabe Kapler said, or the team could wait until after Thursday’s off day.Diamondbacks: CF Pollock was back in the lineup after two days off to rest his tired legs. Pollock made pinch-hit appearance in both of those games.UP NEXTRHP Vince Velasquez (8-8, 3.80 ERA) starts for the Phillies and LH Patrick Corbin (8-4, 3.31) goes for the Diamondbacks in the rubber match of the three-game series on Wednesday afternoon.
