Nigel Boogaard are all back in the squad and in contention to play

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- While the Houston Astros are rocketing up the AL standings, the Los Angeles Angels are plummeting at roughly the same rate of speed.Tim Lincecum tried to change things Tuesday night, but both teams kept going their separate ways.Carlos Correa hit a three-run homer in the first inning, and the Astros beat Lincecum and the Angels 7-1 for their ninth win in 10 games.Correa went 3 for 4 and matched his career high with four RBI as Houston easily improved to 34-20 since May 1. The Astros also beat the Angels for the seventh straight time, their longest winning streak in the rivalrys history.We expect to win the way were playing, which is good, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. We do have a nice little vibe about us, a little swagger. Weve got our confidence back.Scott Feldman (5-3) yielded three hits in five innings to win his first start since April 24 for the Astros. Feldman was a stopgap starter after making 16 appearances out of the bullpen over the past two months, but he kept Houston moving flawlessly forward while allowing no earned runs or walks.Ive been doing the bullpen thing, so I had to try to remember my routine for (starting), said Feldman, a starter for most of the previous eight seasons. But it was a lot of fun.Albert Pujols third-inning single drove in the only run for last-place Los Angeles (32-46), which has lost eight of nine. Before the game, general manager Billy Eppler said manager Mike Scioscias job is not in jeopardy with the Angels, whose injury-riddled starting rotation has been their biggest obstacle.Lincecum (1-2) couldnt get through the fifth inning in his third start for the Angels, yielding seven hits, four walks and five runs. It was the two-time Cy Young winners second straight bumpy outing after a promising debut.My fastball command was pretty terrible, Lincecum said. I didnt get a chance to establish the zone and work around that. I felt myself becoming one-dimensional again with my changeup and not really finding a way out. That team is a good hitting team. They punched the balls when they were up in the zone and made me pay for it.Lincecum has a 6.75 ERA after three starts for the Angels, who signed the longtime San Francisco Giants star to patch that rotation. While he struck out seven Astros, he also struggled with control -- throwing just 55 strikes in 101 pitches -- and served up too many hittable balls to the Astros surging lineup.Lincecum was in trouble again after four Houston batters. He started with a four-pitch walk to George Springer, and Jose Altuve also drew a four-pitch walk before Correa put his 13th homer far over the left field fence. Correa had never faced Lincecum before that shot.I knew he was going to try to throw some changeups and get me to chase, Correa said. Its big to score early in the game.Marwin Gonzalez tripled in the fourth and scored on Carlos Gomezs double. Colby Rasmus one-out single in the fifth chased Lincecum, and Gonzalez bunted home Houstons fifth run moments later.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: Feldman filled in for RHP Lance McCullers, whose rotation turn was skipped due to a blister. McCullers expects to return Monday for his next start, although Feldman wouldnt mind another shot. I love starting, Feldman said. But I also love being on this team, and were winning a lot of games right now.Angels: 3B Yunel Escobar missed another game with a bone bruise in his left knee. Scioscia hopes he is available Friday in Boston. ... C Geovany Soto is closing in on a rehab assignment after working out in the bullpen Tuesday. He has been out since mid-May after knee surgery.UP NEXTAstros: Dallas Keuchel (4-9, 5.35 ERA) beat Kansas City last week for his first win in five June starts, but the AL Cy Young winners weird season continues.Angels: Jered Weaver (6-6, 5.24 ERA) has been solid in recent weeks, but had a rough outing against Oakland earlier in this homestand. He has a 3.26 ERA in 10 career games against Houston. Fake Yeezy Online . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings.

Preview of A-League Round 10 matches (all times AEDT):FRIDAY, Dec 9Sydney FC v Melbourne City at ANZ Stadium 7.50pmHead to Head: Sydney 4 Melbourne City 6 drawn 8Last clash: Round 22 2015-2016 - Melbourne City 3 bt Sydney 0 at AAMI ParkTab Sportsbet: Sydney $2.10 Melbourne City $3.30 Draw $3.40It doesnt get much bigger than this - the A-Leagues two best teams, at full strength, locking horns for the second time in two weeks. Melbourne City might have got the edge in last weeks FFA Cup final, but this time the Sky Blues are at home and that could be crucial. Graham Arnolds men cruised to an easy win over Newcastle last week and will be ready to go again, while City fought out an epic 1-1 draw with Brisbane. If Sydney win, they will extend their lead on the ladder - if City win, the title race gets very interesting, very quickly.Key: Bruno Fornaroli is in ripping form, and if Sydney are to have any chance, Alex Wilkinson and Matt Jurman need to keep him on a tight leash.Tip: SydneySATURDAY, Dec 10Wellington Phoenix v Central Coast Mariners at Waikato Stadium 5.35pmHead to Head: Phoenix 9 Mariners 13 drawn 6Last clash: Round 6 2016-2017 - Phoenix 2 bt Mariners 0 at GIO StadiumTab Sportsbet: Phoenix $1.60 Mariners $5.50 Draw $3.75How will Wellington respond to the shock resignation of Ernie Merrick? Now bottom of the league after last weeks loss to Adelaide, the Phoenix are at a crossroads. But their next three games are winnable, presenting interim co-coaches Chris Greenacre and Des Buckingham with the chance to get things back on track. While much better than last season, Central Coast are still a long way from the finished product, and will be without Mickael Tavares (ankle) and Jacques Faty (knee) this week. With Westpac Stadium being resurfaced, this ones being played in Hamilton.Key: Mariners skipper Nick Montgomery returns from injury and with Tavares and Faty out, his leadership will be vital.Tip: PhoenixWestern Sydney Wanderers v Melbourne Victory at ANZ Stadium 7.50pmHead to Head: Western Sydney 4 Melbourne Victory 7 drawn 2Last clash: Round 6 2016-2017 - Melbourne Victory 3 bt Western Sydney 0 at Etihad StadiumTab Sportsbet: Western Sydney $2.50 Melbourne Victory $2.60 Draw $3.50Both these teams have shown glimpses of brilliance this season but are yet to put it together against a top quality opponent. The Wanderers were impressive in their 4-1 win over the Marinerrs last week, but producing the goods against a rival like Victory is another matter.dddddddddddd In a huge blow for Melbourne, the in-form Marco Rojas (hamstring) is out through injury, which could mean a maiden start for German import Max Beister. Western Sydney will have Andrew Redmayne back in goal, with Jerrad Tyson suspended after his red card last week.Key: With Rojas sidelined, itll be on James Troisi to provide the spark for Melbourne Victory in attack.Tip: Western SydneyPerth Glory v Newcastle Jets at nib Stadium 10pmHead to Head: Glory 21 Jets 6 drawn 6Last clash: Round 25 2015-2016 - Glory 2 bt Jets 1 at McDonald Jones StadiumTab Sportsbet: Glory $1.70 Jets $4.50 Draw $3.75The injury-plagued Newcastle Jets should get a few players back this week, but its unlikely to be enough to shatter the A-Leagues strongest hoodoo. Andrew Nabbout, Daniel Mullen and skipper Nigel Boogaard are all back in the squad and in contention to play - but the Jets havent won in Perth for 11 long years, and have suffered nine straight defeats to the Glory. Rhys Williams and Josh Risdon return from suspension and injury respectively for Perth.Key: Andrew Nabbout has at times looked Newcastles only threatening attacking player and his return is a welcome one for the Jets.Tip: GlorySUNDAY, Dec 11Brisbane Roar v Adelaide United at Suncorp Stadium 5.00pmHead to Head: Brisbane 14 Adelaide 14 drawn 9Last clash: Round 6 2016-2017 - Adelaide 1 drew Brisbane 1 at Coopers StadiumTab Sportsbet: Brisbane $2.00 Adelaide $3.50 Draw $3.50Just like last season, Adelaide finally broke through for their first win in round nine. Will it lead to another march to the title? Only time will tell, but well at least get an insight at Suncorp Stadium. Brisbane Roar are coming off four consecutive draws and will be anxious to keep up with the likes of Sydney and Melbourne City, who are threatening to break away on the ladder. The subplot is Henriques return to Brisbane. Roar fans loved him in an orange shirt. Will they still love him in a red one? And does he have more stunners in his locker like his two long-distance goals last week?Key: With Isaias out suspended, the midfield becomes a key battleground for Adelaide and for the Spaniards likely replacement, George Mells.Tip: Brisbane ' ' '
