ARLINGTON, Texas -- Deficits and close ballgames just dont seem to bother the Texas Rangers.Texas won in walk-off fashion again Monday night, coming back to beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-2. The American League West rivals continue the three-game series with the middle installment Tuesday night at Globe Life Park.The Rangers own eight walk-off wins this season, including two on the current homestand. Texas has 20 last at-bat victories. The clubs 46 come-from-behind wins are second most in club history (50 in 2013) and lead Major League Baseball.And when it comes to one-run games, no team is better. Texas has won 12 of last 14 decided by a single run, improving to 35-10 overall.Thats how we play, said Elvis Andrus, who scored the deciding run in the series opener. Thats been our DNA this year. We dont give up to the last out, the last pitch. Its contagious. I think everybody is feeling the same way. Everybody keeps pushing. We dont count ourselves out until the last out.Im really happy with the way were playing baseball right now. Were going to come back tomorrow and try to win the series.The Rangers are sending A.J. Griffin (7-4, 4.78 ERA) to the hill to try to clinch the series. The right-hander hasnt been particularly sharp lately, but the club has won three of his last four starts and seven of 10.Griffin owns a 5.96 ERA over his last eight starts. He hasnt pitched since Sept. 13 as Texas manager Jeff Banister lines up his staff for the playoffs.Banister announced that lefty Derek Holland would start Wednesday in the series finale, pushing back Cole Hamels from his normal turn to the series opener Friday at Oakland. Yu Darvish would follow Saturday, mirroring the playoff rotation.Hamels and Darvish would also start the following Friday and Saturday to set them up for the first two games of the ALDS, which starts Oct. 6.Its the appropriate time for both of them to get extra rest, Banister told reporters.Hamels and Darvish have struggled recently. Getting the two aces rest isnt as important as getting them on track.It would be nice for them to go out, throw the ball well and have some success, Banister added. There would be a lot of feel good. Whats necessary is for all our guys to get on that roll.The Angels are countering with Daniel Wright (0-3, 7.04) in the second game of the series. The rookie is making his third appearance for Angels and fifth start of the season.Claimed off waivers from Cincinnati earlier this month, Wright made his Angels debut on Sept. 10 against Texas. He didnt factor in the decision after tossing five innings and allowing four earned runs on six hits.The Angels have gotten solid starting pitching lately.Its encouraging, because weve seen guys that were looking forward to seeing where theyre going to be next year because they have a chance to help us, manager Mike Scioscia said. The heartbeat of the club is your rotation. We need to get a little more consistent, a little deeper there, and hopefully we start to see it.Craig Biggio Jersey . Terms of the deal were not immediately available. The 26-year-old finished last season with Clevelands Triple-A affiliate in Columbus after signing with the Indians in August. Jeff Kent Jersey .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mooseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. http://www.customastrosjersey.com/ . The 43-year-old closer, in his 19th and final big league season, has said hed like to play the outfield. Yankees manager Joe Girardi says hes thinking about allowing Rivera to do it this weekend, when the Yankees finish their season with a three-game series at the Houston Astros. Carlos Correa Jersey . Giroud, who wasnt in the starting lineup for two matches after allegations about his private life and a decline in form, scored twice in the first half. Tomas Rosickys chip made it 3-0 before half time at Emirates Stadium, while defender Laurent Koscielny scored an unmarked header in the second half. Michael Brantley 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.LANDOVER, Md. -- Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins had their easiest path to the playoffs in front of them and they gave it away with another Monday night flop.Cousins threw an interception and lost a fumble near his goal line, and the Redskins lost control of their playoff future with a 26-15 loss to the defending NFC champion Carolina Panthers.Washington (7-6-1) could have clinched a playoff berth by winning its final three games but now needs help. Carolina (6-8) kept its astronomical wild-card hopes alive and dealt a serious blow to the Redskins chances with two weeks left in the season.We didnt get it done, said wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who had seven catches for 111 yards. Obviously its frustrating because we knew what we had at stake, we knew what we had on our hands and we cant really talk about playoffs until we handle who we need to handle and play better.After being picked off by Kurt Coleman in the first half to set up a Carolina field goal, Cousins was sacked by Wes Horton and fumbled on the first snap after halftime as the Panthers took over at the 1-yard line. They scored two plays later to take a 20-9 lead.Cousins finished 32 of 47 for 316 yards with far too many missed throws in a game with such high stakes. Cousins and coach Jay Gruden were at a loss to explain how the usually high-powered offense sputtered at such a key moment.We just never got any kind of rhythm whatsoever throughout the whole game, said Gruden, referencing his team going 2 for 12 on third down. Part of it was the running game was atrocious, part of it was we had no deep passing game and then the other part: Carolina was very good today.Reigning league MVP Cam Newton showed no ill effects from a shoulder injury suffered last week, throwing for 300 yards and two touchdowns.He took a little bit of a shot early on, but when he came to the sideline and had a chance to take a breath he was ready to roll, Carolina coach Ron Rivera said.The Panthers took advantage of blunders by the Redskins, who lost their sixth consecutive Monday night home game. It was Washingtons most lopsided loss since being routed 38-16 by Pittsburghh in the season opener, also on a Monday night.ddddddddddddWe didnt play well enough to win, Cousins said. Just didnt make enough plays.FLAGS FOR 15Newton was penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct in the second quarter for taunting Redskins linebacker Trent Murphy after scrambling for a 1-yard gain. The penalty took the Panthers out of field goal range, moving the ball from the Washington 26 to the 41.Ive got to be better than that, Newton said. That just cant happen on my part.Redskins tight end Jordan Reed took an even costlier penalty late in the third quarter when he was flagged 15 yards and ejected for throwing a punch at Coleman. That penalty contributed to Washington settling for a field goal when trailing by 14.BLACK AND BLUE REDSKINSThe Redskins lost linebacker Ryan Kerrigan to a left elbow sprain, cornerback Quinton Dunbar to a concussion and special teams contributor Houston Bates to a left knee sprain. They were already without linebackers Will Compton because of a knee injury and Sua Cravens because of an upper-arm injury.NOTEWORTHYPanthers K Graham Gano made four field goals but missed from 38 to end his streak at 13 in a row. ...
