MILWAUKEE — Los Angeles Angels closer Ernesto Frieri threw pitch after pitch to Jonathan Lucroy with the bases loaded in the eighth inning Sunday, only to watch Lucroy keep fouling them off. Danilo Gallinari Jersey . Finally, on his 12th delivery, Frieri got Lucroy to swing and miss, ending the long at-bat. Frieri then struck out rookie Khris Davis as well and pitched a scoreless ninth to help the Angels hold on for a 5-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers and a three-game sweep of their interleague series. „(Lucroys) one of the toughest hitters Ive faced all season,“ said Frieri, who earned his 30th save in 34 chances. „He just kept on fighting and I just kept trying to get a pitch past him.“ During the at-bat, Lucroy lined one pitch just foul down the right-field line and then the next pitch just foul down the left-field line. If either ball had been fair, the Brewers likely would have tied the score or taken the lead. „The one in right field would have been a triple if it was fair,“ Frieri said. Angels manager Mike Scioscia called the battle between Frieri and Lucroy „about as good of an at-bat that youre going to see.“ „That was about as clutch as it gets,“ Scioscia said. „(Frieri) earned that one.“ Lucroy said he got himself out by swinging at Frieris pitches out of the strike zone. „I swung at balls and I missed a couple of hangers,“ he said. „I got myself out, so Im not too happy about it. Its the way the game is. Its baseball. Things happen. Sometimes they fall, sometimes they dont.“ The other key on the mound for the Angels was C.J. Wilson (14-6), who gave up three runs and three hits over six innings to improve to 10-1 in his last 15 starts. Wilson has gone 10 consecutive starts without a loss, tying his career high set in 2011 with Texas. Scioscia said Wilson wasnt as sharp Sunday as he has been in his past several starts, but was good enough. „He made key pitches when he had to,“ the manager said. „He kept us in the game and gave us a chance to win.“ Mike Trout tripled and doubled among his three hits to help the Angels finish an 8-1 road trip. They have won eight in a row against the Brewers in Milwaukee, dating to 1997. J.B. Shuck hit a three-run double that put Los Angeles ahead in the seventh. Kole Calhoun had two RBIs. „Our guys are playing hard and really getting after it every day,“ Scioscia said. Kyle Lohse went six innings for Milwaukee, giving up one run and seven hits. Rob Wooten (3-1) allowed three runs in relief. Calhouns RBI single in the third gave the Angels a 1-0 lead. Milwaukee tied it in the bottom half. Jeff Bianchi doubled to right and went to third when the ball got by Calhoun for an error. One out later, Lohse bunted in front of the plate and Bianchi was able to slide under the tag of catcher Hang Conger when the toss from Wilson was high. Carlos Gomezs two-run homer in the fourth gave the Brewers a 3-1 lead. It was his 19th of the season and first since Aug. 6. Los Angeles grabbed the lead for good in the seventh by scoring four runs. Conger and Luis Jimenez singled to start the inning. Andrew Romine advanced both runners with a sacrifice, and pinch-hitter Josh Hamilton was intentionally walked. Shuck then hit a grounder down the first-base line that hit the bag. The ball rolled into short right field and by the time Norichika Aoki could get it back in, all three runners had scored. „That was a really big hit for us,“ Scioscia said. Calhouns RBI double made it 5-3. NOTES: Hamilton was out of the starting lineup for the third straight game. He is battling a sore left shoulder and migraines. … Milwaukee acquired RHP Michael Blazek from St. Louis as the player to be named in Fridays trade that sent reliever John Axford to the Cardinals. Blazek appeared in 11 games for the Cardinals this season, compiling a 6.97 ERA. … The Brewers recalled RHP Donovan Hand from Triple-A Nashville. Hand is 0-4 in 21 appearances this season with Milwaukee. Thunder Jerseys 2020 . — All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham and the New Orleans Saints met Tuesday for arbitration on his contract. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Jersey . Since coming to the big leagues in late May, La Stella is 6 for 7 with the bases loaded, driving in 13 runs in those at-bats. TERESOPOLIS, Brazil — Brazil striker Hulk left a training session due to a muscle injury in his left leg Sunday but said he expects to be fit to play Mexico on Tuesday in his teams second World Cup match. Hulk practiced for less than 15 minutes before leaving the field. He said the injury wasnt serious and „hopefully“ it wouldnt keep him from playing in the next match. „I felt a small discomfort and decided to leave as a precaution,“ Hulk said. „I was already thinking about the next match, its only two days away and in the World Cup you dont want to miss any match. I hope to be ready so I can help the national team again.“ Hulk said he had the injury before the opening win over Croatia, when he was replaced late in the match, and felt it again after a few shots on goal on Sunday. He walked off the field without a limp, but then sat down on a bench and lowered his head in apparent dismay. Hulk, who plays for Zenit in the Russian league, put his hand on his left leg when team medical staff arrived to treat him. A few moments later he went to the locker room accompanied by one of the teams doctors. „I was feeling down when it happened because yoou always think about the worst,“ Hulk said. Desmond Mason Jersey. „But then I talked to the doctors and they told me that it wasnt anything too serious. Im going to undergo treatment and hopefully Ill be able to play.“ The Brazilian federation said Hulk wouldnt need additional tests and would travel as planned with the rest of the squad to the northeastern city of Fortaleza later Sunday. „At a World Cup you have to overcome every challenge,“ Hulk said. „We prepare our entire lives to fulfil our dreams of playing in the tournament. Im feeling well.“ If Hulk is ruled out, 21-year-old Shakhtar Donetsk striker Bernard would be his likely replacement. Chelseas Ramires is also an option. Brazil had been injury free since it started its World Cup preparations in late May, but Sunday was a tense practice session in Teresopolis, outside Rio de Janeiro. Bernard stayed on the ground for a few moments after a foul by David Luiz, and the defender was later hurt in a challenge by midfielder Luiz Gustavo. Both players were down briefly but recovered. Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari ended the training session after the hard contact between Luiz and Gustavo. ‚ ‚ ‚
