ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Rays cant get to the All-Star break fast enough.The team lost for the 19th time in 22 games on Thursday, falling 5-1 to the Los Angeles Angels, who had dropped 12 of 14 before taking three of four from the Rays and leaving town with their longest winning streak in nearly two months.Were not going to look back. I think weve been very honest and upfront that we are frustrated, manager Kevin Cash said. Were not pleased with the way things are going. The one way you can get out of that is start winning some ballgames.Albert Pujols and C.J. Cron drove in runs to back left-hander Hector Santiago (6-4), who limited the sputtering Rays to three singles over seven scoreless innings.Pujols snapped a scoreless tie with a sixth-inning single off rookie Blake Snell (1-4). Cron followed with a RBI grounder that Tampa Bay, which sank a season-worst 17 games under .500, was unable to turn into an inning-ending double play.The last-place Angels added two more runs in the eighth on Crons bases-loaded sacrifice fly and a perfectly executed double steal that saw Pujols swipe second base while Mike Trout sprinted home without drawing a throw to make it 4-0.The Rays, who went 3-8 on the longest homestand of the season, have matched the worst 22-game stretch in franchise history. Its the worst 22-game stretch in the major leagues this season, and the worst for an AL club since Texas went through a 3-19 stretch two years ago.At times it can have a snowball effect a little bit, Cash said. Every day is a new game, its a different game, but weve got to a do a better job of not carrying things over one day to the next. To be honest, I think for the most part weve done that. Were just continuing to come up short.Brad Millers 13th homer, coming on reliever Joe Smiths first pitch, accounted for Tampa Bays only run.Snell, who has taken the loss in four of his six career starts, allowed two runs and four hits over six innings. The 23-year-old left-hander walked two and struck out seven.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: RHP Cory Rasmus is expected to miss a minimum of six more weeks after surgery on Thursday to repair a right groin injury. ... C Geovany Soto, out since May 18 with a right lateral meniscus injury, might be activated this weekend.Rays: RHP Alex Cobb (Tommy John surgery) felt fine a day after his first rehab start Wednesday night for Class A Charlotte and will make his next appearance Monday. ... C Curt Casali, who left Wednesdays game with a bruise on the left side of his head after being struck by a back swing, sat out the series finale and is day to day. ... INF Steve Pearce (strained right hamstring) is scheduled to start on-field batting practice Friday.RARE COMBOTampa Bays Chris Archer (4-11, 127 strikeouts) and Drew Smyly (2-10, 108) are the second pair of teammates in major league history to lose 10 or more games while fanning at least 100 batters before the All-Star break. Clay Kirby (6-11, 126) and Steve Arlin (8-11, 115) did it for the San Diego Padres in 1972.UP NEXTAngels: Continue a 10-game East Coast road trip leading into the All-Star break, with RHP Matt Shoemaker (3-9, 4.40 ERA) making his second start of the season against Baltimore. He pitched 7 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and striking out a career-high 12 in his start against the Orioles at Angel Stadium on May 21.Rays: Archer, who lost eight straight decisions against the Red Sox, starts the opener of a weekend series in Boston. The right-hander, whos gone from an All-Star a year ago to leading the majors in losses this season, is the first pitcher since Phil Niekro (Braves) in 1977 to have as many as 11 losses and 127 strikeouts at the All-Star break. The other times that happened occurred in 1973, when Nolan Ryan (Angels), Gaylord Perry (Indians) and Wilbur Wood (White Sox) all did it.

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. -- Ashley Wagner won the Progressive Skate America womens title on Saturday, edging California training partner Mariah Bell.Japans Shoma Uno topped the mens short program earlier, followed by Americans Adam Rippon and Jason Brown.Wagner, the world silver medalist, overcame a few mistakes in her free skate for her second Skate America title in five seasons.Today was a little sticky, but at the end of the day, I got the job done, Wagner said. I think I built upon what I did at the Japan Open. It felt like more of a complete program, and I think thats what pulled me through today. Beyond that, I think I have some serious spin levels to work on going into Cup of China; they were dearly missed today.Wagner, who also noted problems with her loop combination, finished with 196.44 points.Bell, who was sixth after the short program, turned in an event-best free skate with her East of Eden program that helped her net a total score of 191.59. Bell competed on the Grand Prix Series for the first time last year at Skate America, in which she placed eighth. She moved two months ago from Colorado to train under coach Rafael Arutunian in Lakewood, California.Im proud of my performance today, Bell said. My goal this season has been to improve on my personal best. I havent really been thinking about results or placements, but being on the podium is exciting and Im looking forward to the rest of the season. Im feeling now like I can do it under pressure, and thats something that I can take with me.Japans Mai Mihara, second after the short program, hung on to place third with 189.28 points.U.S. champion Gracie Gold, third after the short program, fell out of medal contention with two falls in her free skate.It was an unfortunate long program; the score was overly generous, but I appreciate what I was able to pull out, Gold said. I need to go back to the drawing board.Uno landed two quad jumps and secured the lead after the short program, with Rippon and Brown close beehind in second and third, respectively.ddddddddddddThe free skate Sunday will determine the winner.Everything went as I was practicing, Uno said through a translator. It was unexpected that I missed the triple toe at the end of the combination, but the quad went really well, maybe too well. Overall it was a good performance.Uno scored 89.15 points, while Rippon was second at 87.32 and Brown third at 85.75. Rippon didnt attempt a quad, while Brown fell on his opening quad toeloop.Its always exciting to skate well at home and have the audience on their feet, said Rippon, the U.S. champion. Later in the season, Id like to have a quad in my short program and improve the overall quality.Brown, from the Chicago area, said he was happy with his performance despite the fall on the quad.My mindset for this event is attack, so I just didnt want to hold back, and thats how I feel I did, he said.Seguin and Bilodeau, third after the short program, rallied to win the pairs free skate and competition with a score of 197.31. The Canadian team finished third last year at Skate America.Especially for me, today was a big challenge with the mistake I made yesterday on my jump, Bilodeau said. I was feeling a bit more stressed than other competitions. It was a big challenge for me to keep focused on the long and forget what happened. We did a clean program so were really happy with that.Americans Haven Denney and Brandon Frazier were second at 192.65.?Russias Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov, first after the short program, settled for third with 185.94.The Shibutanis, the reigning U.S. ice dance champions, entertained the crowd with their Frank Sinatra and Jay Z mash-up featuring blues and hip-hop rhythms.
