ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Anthony Rizzo grounded out to first base in each of his first four plate appearances. Then he finally got a hit his next time up, and did even better in his final at-bat. Rizzo had a bases-clearing double in the 10th inning and the Chicago Cubs overcame a pair of homers by Mark Trumbo to beat the Los Angeles Angels 8-6 on Wednesday night. "I want to be in that situation," Rizzo said. "They made good pitches on me today, but I was able to get the big hit at the end. Even when youre feeling down at the plate, it takes one pitch, one at-bat, one swing. So thats what youve got to go by." Rookie Robert Coello (3-2) walked Dioner Navarro with one out in the Cubs 10th and Darwin Barney singled with two outs. Barney advanced on catchers indifference and Luis Valbuena walked before Rizzo doubled into the right-field corner, increasing his team-high total to 39 RBIs. "I faced him a few times before in the minor leagues, so I know thats what he likes to do -- throw the fastball in that spot," Rizzo said. "He has a splitty, too, but I know he doesnt like to throw that with runners on. So I looked for the fastball and tried to lay off everything else." Cody Ransom connected for a three-run homer for Chicago, and centre fielder Ryan Sweeney made a spectacular catch against Albert Pujols in the seventh with the Cubs clinging to 5-4 lead. Trumbo tied it at 5 in the eighth with a mammoth leadoff drive to right-centre against James Russell, and added his team-high 15th of the season in the 10th. Howie Kendrick homered and had four hits for the Angels, who have lost seven of 10 following an eight-game winning streak. "We put up a pretty good effort today, and thats what you want to see," Trumbo said. "Unfortunately, they were just a little better." Kevin Gregg (2-0) pitched the final 1 1-3 innings for the victory against his former team. He struck out Hank Conger swinging with two runners on to end the game. Mike Trout had a chance to win it for the Angels in the ninth, but Gregg came in and struck him out with a runner at third. Matt Garza pitched 6 1-3 innings for the Cubs in his fourth start off the disabled list and allowed four runs and seven hits. He benefited from a video replay reversal in the second after J.B. Shucks towering drive past the right-field pole was originally called a home run by first base umpire Jeff Nelson. Shuck came up against Garza again with one out in the seventh and hit a fly ball to the warning track that was dropped by Nate Schierholtz, who had just taken over in right field for Scott Hairston after hitting for him. "Nates a great outfielder and makes every play, so we honestly werent expecting that. But it happens," Ransom said. "You look at the good teams through history, and they pick up a guy when something like that happens. Good teams win games like that, and weve been missing that." Shuck ended up at third on the error, but was stranded there when Sweeney sprinted toward right-centre and robbed Pujols of a potential two-run double with runners at the corners. Sweeney was making only his third start in centre while David DeJesus got the day off. "I feel comfortable out there," Sweeney said. "I didnt think I could get that ball at first, but I knew obviously the importance of that run on third base, so I just ran all out to see if I could get it and I caught it right before it hit the ground." Angels lefty Jason Vargas gave up five runs and 11 hits in five-plus innings. He was making his first start since he was picked as the AL pitcher of the month because of his 5-0 record and 2.30 ERA in May. Vargas had a 4-1 lead into the fifth before Navarro and Barney singled and Ransom drove his fifth homer of the season into the lower seats in the left field corner to tie it. "The difference was the homer to Cody Ransom. Thats what got them going," Vargas said. "I feel like I made a dumb mistake. Were up three runs and I decide to go after him like it was a pretty close ballgame. Three runs isnt a huge lead, but it was definitely a mental mistake on my part. Just go ahead and go after him and make him beat us the hard way. I left a changeup up to him and that really let them back in the ballgame. I feel like that cost us the game." NOTES: Ransoms previous six home runs all were solo shots. ... The Angels are going back to a regular five-man rotation. RHP Jerome Williams is the odd man out because he is better suited to a relief role than either Tommy Hanson or Joe Blanton. ... Kendrick was 7 for 8 in this two-game set, and is 12 for 22 lifetime against Cubs pitching. ... The Angels begin a six-game road trip Friday night at Boston, trying to extend an eight-game winning streak against the Red Sox. Yeezy 500 Stone For Sale . LOUIS -- St. Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Supreme .

The college bowl season, especially for schools that end up not making their way into the four-team playoff for the national championship, is one last chance for teams to prove themselves this season, as well as to build confidence in the program for the future. Its an opportunity to make a lasting impression and take home bragging rights and perhaps a shiny trophy to boot.You also have a chance to take home bragging rights - as well as a trip to next years CFP Championship - by taking part in ESPN.coms free Capital One Bowl Mania game. And, if your entry turns out to be perfect, instead of a trophy, theres a $1 million prize that awaits you.There are two ways to play -- straight scoring and confidence scoring.Heres how straight scoring works: for each of the 42 bowl games on the college football schedule starting with the Celebration Bowl on Saturday, December 17, 2016 and running right on through the title game, you simply select the team you think will win the game outright, no point spreads involved. Get the most number of winners correct, and you win a trip for two to the CFP Championship Game in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, January 8, 2018. If you get all 42 games right, youll win a share of the $1 million bonus.Confidence scoring adds a layer of strategy to the mix. In addition to picking the winner of each game, you will assign appoint value to each of your selections, starting with one point for the game you are least sure about, all the way up to 42 points for the winner pick you want to be worth the most. Each numberr between 1 and 42 must be used once and only once.dddddddddddd Remember: the higher the number, the more points youll get for being correct.Playing with confidence scoring comes with some strategic decisions for the participant. If theres a game with a four-touchdown favorite that is likely to be selected on 90 percent or more of contest entries, then picking the underdog might end up propelling you into first place. But of course, thats only if the upset actually takes place.Similarly, if you roll the dice by placing a very high confidence value on a pick em game that everybody else is likely to place very low on their lists, and you accurately select the winner, you can propel yourself to the top of the leaderboard. But again, if youre wrong, then youve likely taken yourself out of running for the 2018 trip to Atlanta.Each participant is also asked to submit their guess for the final score of the CFP Championship Game. In the event of a tie in either the straight or confidence scoring games, this prediction will be used to determine the winner of the contest. All perfect entries, if any, (42 points -- one point per win -- in straight scoring, or 907 points in confidence scoring) will split the $1 million bonus. So what are you waiting for? Sign up for ESPN.coms Capital One Bowl Mania game today! Were confident youll have fun-- and dont forget to tell your friends to play as well at ESPN.com/bowlmania! ' ' '
