ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels saw one of their future stars make strides but may have lost their biggest star for the final days of the season, as Mike Trout left Wednesdays game after taking a fastball to the shoulder.Kole Calhoun homered and?Alex Meyer limited the Oakland Athletics over four innings before the Angels held off a late rally to sweep the three-game series with an 8-6 win.Trout was hit by a John Axford fastball in the back of his left shoulder in the eighth inning and was removed from the game. He will have imaging done Thursday to determine whether he can play through the weekend against the Houston Astros.Trout said the pitch hit his shoulder blade and left him with a sizable, sore welt.I want to [play], Ill tell you that, Trout said. Weve got three games left, so Im going to try to grind it out.Meyer (1-3) allowed two runs on five hits over four innings and struck out five. J.C. Ramirez pitched a perfect ninth to convert his second save.I think theres no doubt that Alex is moving forward in many ways, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. I think first and foremost, I think his delivery is getting more consistent. Hes able to repeat it, his arm angle is where hes working toward getting it, and hopefully hell continue to improve with his consistency.Meyer said his month in the big leagues has been beneficial for his confidence.Im definitely happy, Meyer said. Going into next year, now Ive kind of had some success. Ive learned a lot, and I took some bumps and bruises along the way.Khris Davis, who played at nearby Cal State Fullerton, hit his 41st home run and his sixth against the Angels this season in the sixth inning, making the score 8-3. Marcus Semien brought the As to within two runs with a three-run homer, also his sixth against Los Angeles, in the eighth.After going down 2-0 early, the Angels rallied for eight runs in the fourth inning. Ross Detwiler (2-4) got the first out but then put the next four batters on and gave up two runs before getting the second out.With runners on the corners, Shane Robinson cleared the bases with a double to left and took third on the throw. Calhoun homered for the 18th time this season to give Los Angeles a 6-2 lead, and Trout singled to keep the inning alive.The Calhoun one was the one that really hurt, As manager Bob Melvin said. Whether or not coming in and not being the starter [was an issue], thats something you have to ask him, but hes relieved and started before so that shouldnt have been an issue.Detwiler was finally replaced after giving up a double to C.J. Cron, the 10th batter of the inning. Reliever Chris Smith couldnt end the threat as he walked the next two batters to walk in a run, and Stephen Vogts failure to throw to first on a grounder by Jett Bandy allowed Cron to score for the eighth run of the inning.Gregorio Petit, the 14th batter, finally ended the inning by grounding out to Smith.Sonny Gray was activated from the 15-day disabled list prior to his start. He was limited to one inning and was replaced by Detwiler. He gave up one hit and faced four batters in his first start since Aug. 6.He threw the ball where he wanted to. He had a good breaking ball, Melvin said. He was very composed for an excitable guy that hasnt been out there for a while.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: RHP Garrett Richards threw off the mound to hitters for the first time since tearing his ulnar collateral ligament May 1.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Fresh off its 87-64 season-opening victory over Stephen F. Austin on Friday, Kentucky returns to action just two days later when Canisius visits Rupp Arena.Coach John Calipari is excited for Sundays game because he anticipates a completely different test than the one presented by Stephen F. Austin first-year coach Kyle Keller.I dont think Canisius will play that type of man-to-man, which makes you play a little different, Calipari said. That team denies wings. Kyle has them denying passes, denying wings, which could lead to turnovers.What they do is they disrupt your offense, they take you out of what you want to do and make you play one-on-one. The issue is were pretty good at playing one-on-one, Calipari said. Canisius, I dont know. But Im glad they played us some zone. We got the ball right where we wanted it, we didnt make the plays, but well watch the tape and show them what was there.Canisius was only 14-19 last season, its 12th losing season since the turn of the century. The Griffins have not won an MAAC regular season title since 1994, and its last trip to the NCAA Tournament came in 1996.The Griffins are led by Phil Valenti, the top returner in points (14.6), rebounds (6.1) and assists (2.1). The 6-foot-7, 200-pound senior started all 33 games last year. He topped double figures scoring 24 times, including a career-best 33 in a MAAC Tournament win over Niagara. Valenti needs 122 points this year to top 1,000 for his career.Canisius also returns 6-3 junior guard Kassius Robertson, who also started all 33 games. He averaged 14.1 points per game while attempting the most fieeld goals at 213.dddddddddddd. Next closest was 127.Kentucky will be coming into the game after beating Stephen F. Austin by 23 points. It was a debut in which the Wildcats put five players into double figures -- Isaiah Briscoe, 17; Derek Willis, 15; DeAaron Fox, 12; Malik Monk and Wenyen Gabriel, 10.What I like is five guys in double figures and the other two with nine and eight. That is how we play here, Calipari said. Now you say, well, theyre all McDonalds All-Americans, they scored 30 points a game in high school. Yeah, youre not playing that way here.When Kentucky takes the court on Sunday, Calipari will be looking for continued improvement of a simple game plan.I dont want to put any more in right now, Calipari said. Lets just get good at what we are. We only have a few things, you saw us, Im not out there running 17 different offenses, were just not ready for that. Im more concerned about defense and rebounding and blocking shots.One word of caution for Kentucky: Beat Canisius in regulation. The Golden Griffins outscored opponents last year 21-4 during the third overtime period.Kentuckys game with Canisius will be the final tune-up before a nationally televised battle on Wednesday against Michigan State in the Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden in New York.Michigan State just lost. So what were going to be playing a mean dog up in New York, Calipari said. So these three games to start off the year when were a bunch of freshmen, its going to be a rough go. ' ' '
