ANAHEIM, Calif. -- With the score tied in the ninth inning, Albert Pujols simply relied on experience.Pujols hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to give the Los Angeles Angels an 8-6 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night.In a situation like that, you try to do a good job to get on base, Pujols said. Ive had so many at-bats in that situation where, maybe earlier in my career, you try to do too much. But as I was getting older and learning from experience, I realized that if you just go out there and try to start a good swing and start a rally with a base hit or whatever, thats the main goal.Mike Trout had three hits and reached on a throwing error to start the ninth, diving headlong into first base to avoid a tag. Pujols also finished with three hits to go with three RBI.After his game-ending drive, Pujols slid feet first into home plate before a swarm of excited teammates helped tear off his jersey.Jefry Marte and Cliff Pennington homered in the fourth for the Angels, who won for the 10th time in 12 home games and extended Oaklands losing streak to five.Stephen Vogt tied it 6-all with an RBI single in the top of the ninth, but Mike Morin (2-1) relieved Cam Bedrosian and got pinch-hitter Danny Valencia to bounce into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded.It was the second time the As grounded into an inning-ending double play with runners in scoring position.Those were two key spots where were talking about situational at-bats and getting an extra run, maybe two, manager Bob Melvin said. Late in games, when you have runners on and you get two outs in one at-bat, it ends up being a factor.Trout led off the bottom half and hit a grounder to third baseman Ryon Healy, who threw high and wide of first. Pujols then drove a 3-1 pitch from Ryan Dull (5-3) far over the left-field fence for his 581st home run.The slugger is two behind former St. Louis Cardinals teammate Mark McGwire for 10th on the career list. Pujols has 1,192 extra-base hits, passing Lou Gehrig for sole possession of ninth place, and his 20th walk-off plate appearance tied him for third-most since 1969, behind Dusty Baker and Rickey Henderson.Guys like Albert, it seems like late in the game, those guys want to be up there, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. Theyre going to give you a good at-bat.One night after earning his first save, Bedrosian, filling in for injured closer Huston Street, blew an opportunity when he allowed the tying run in the ninth. Bedrosian put the first five batters of the inning on base before being removed in favor of Morin.Bedrosian said the outing reminded him just how short his memory has to be as a closer.It was just one of those nights where I suppose I didnt have my best stuff, he said. I wanted to be the guy that goes back out there and gets another save after the first one, but its a learning experience.After the As scored once in the eighth on Jed Lowries bases-loaded walk to cut the Los Angeles lead to 6-5, Coco Crisp singled leading off the ninth. Max Muncy walked and Vogt tied the game with a single to left-center. Muncy was tagged out in a rundown between second and third, but Bedrosian walked Khris Davis and Yonder Alonso to load the bases.Morin got Valencia to ground into a 1-2-3 double play.Jered Weaver limited Oakland to four runs (three earned) and nine hits in six innings. Weaver gave up runs in the second, third and fourth, but the Angels tied it in the bottom of each inning before taking a 6-4 lead in the fifth.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: Lowrie is playing with a bunion on his left foot.

Gaylord Perry Jersey . Just as Montreal was settling into the first full working week of a new year, the Impact announced the appointment of their new head coach. New Zealand will be hunting a 14th straight win when they welcome Argentina to FMG Stadium in Hamilton on Saturday night. The All Blacks were superb in two big wins over Australia in Sydney and Wellington, but must now reset for a different type of challenge against a Pumas outfit that split twin Tests against the Springboks. That test comes in the form of a solid set-piece and driving maul, and a backline that offers far more of an attacking threat than it did during the South Americans first couple of seasons in the Rugby Championship.Last years encounter in New Zealand saw the All Blacks cruise to a healthy halftime lead before Pumas skipper Agustin Creevy scored a double - both tries coming from a lineout drive - to add some respectability to the scoreline. But the Pumas then put up an almighty effort in a World Cup classic at Wembley in which they bullied the All Blacks for 55 minutes, but were left to rue what might have been as the class of Aaron Smith and others shone through in the final quarter.Team newsNew ZealandThe All Blacks have paid the Pumas the ultimate respect in making just one change to the side that defeated the Wallabies 29-9 in Wellington a fortnight ago. That new face comes in the backline with Ryan Crotty returning to inside centre after he was forced off at halftime in Sydney through concussion. Crottys inclusion sees Anton Lienert-Brown drop back to the bench after a fine debut in Wellington.Ben Smith, Israel Dagg, Malakai Fekitoa, Ryan Crotty, Julian Savea, Beauden Barrett, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read (captain), Sam Cane, Jerome Kaino, Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick, Owen Franks, Dane Coles, Joe Moody. Replacements: Codie Taylor, Wyatt Crockett, Charlie Faumuina, Luke Romano, Ardie Savea, TJ Perenara, Aaron Cruden, Anton Lienert-BrownArgentinaArgentina have made four changes, with flanker Juan Manuel Leguizamon and lock Tomas Lavanini omitted from the pack and Matthias Moroni replacing injured winger Manuel Montero. The latter switch sees Santiago Cordero move from the right wing to the left. Guido Petti and Javier Ortega Desio replace Lavanini and Leguizamon respectively, having each impressed off the bench when the Pumas beat the Springboks on home soil for the first time.Joaquin Tuculet, Matthias Moroni, Matias Orlando, Juan Martin Hernandez, Santiago Cordero, Nicolas Sanchez, Martin Landajo, Facundo Isa, Javier Ortega Desio, Pablo Matera, Matias Alemanno, Guido Petti, Ramiro Herrera, Agustin Creevy (captain), Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro. Replacements: Julian Montoya, Lucas Noguera, Enrique Pieretto, Marcos Kremer, Leonardo Senatore, Tomas Cubelli, Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias, Ramiro Moyano.Key match-up: Dane Coles vs. Agustin CreevyDane Coles cut a painful figure at the conclusion of the Super Rugby season. The Hurricanes skipper wass inspirational in leading his side to its maiden title, but a nasty rib injury certainly made life difficult in both the semifinal and final.dddddddddddd He was then originally left out of the team for Bledisloe I, but an injury to Nathan Harris on match eve saw him first added to the bench before Codie Taylor was forced off in just the second minute. Still, Coles played the house down and he will need to be at his very best again this week against Creevy.If you were picking a World XV, Creevy would surely cover hooker from the bench behind Coles. The Pumas skipper is the rock of Argentinas set-piece, marshals the lineout drive, and offers plenty in the loose - albeit it at a little less pace. If the Pumas do trouble the All Blacks, you can almost guarantee Creevy will be at the heart of it. Hes always a good one to watch at anthem time, too.Key statsThe All Blacks have not lost at home since September 2009 (vs. South Africa) winning 42 games in a row since.The All Blacks are unbeaten in their 22 encounters with Argentina, winning 21 and drawing just once in the second ever meeting between the sides in 1985.Beauden Barrett has been directly involved in more tries than any other player (4 - 1 try, 3 assists) in the competition so far, and has also gained the most metres (157), beaten the most defenders (12) and made the joint-most clean breaks (5).WeatherHamilton is expecting a fine spring day with a top of 15C on Saturday. The temperature will have dropped to around 10 degrees at the 7.35pm (NZT) kick-off.UBET verdict: New Zealand $1.04, Argentina $11The prices on this match reflect that most expect an easy win for the All Blacks. The interest on the match is the likely winning margin, and opinions are divided either side of the UBET line of 24.5 points start. The Pumas were beaten in South Africa only narrowly before beating the Springboks at home in Salta, but they havent won in 12 starts in NZ and their best result at home or away has been a draw with the All Blacks. New Zealand won 26-16 during the World Cup last year, having won the Rugby Championship match in Christchurch last year 39-18, so the Pumas may be able to get within that big line.PredictionArgentina troubled New Zealand more than any other nation at last years World Cup, but it is hard to see them matching that performance in Hamilton this weekend. The All Blacks have too many class players at the top of their game, with fly-half Beauden Barrett the clear standout. The South Americans will offer plenty of resistance at set-piece and will have some moments in attack, but they lack the 80-minute performance to really trouble the world champions.New Zealand by 15.
