HOUSTON -- Jered Weaver has not had much success against the Houston Astros this season, and that continued Saturday night.Evan Gattis had two home runs and four RBI in his return to the lineup, Collin McHugh threw six strong innings and the Astros beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-2.Weaver (8-8) allowed six runs on seven hits with three walks in four innings.It looked like Jered had trouble with his release point, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. I think getting ahead of some guys and repeating some pitches, he didnt look as grounded as he has been. I dont think he got a chance to get his game on the field the way he has been the last couple starts.The right-hander has struggled against Houston this season, allowing 16 runs in 15 1/3 innings.I just think that obviously, I dont have the same (stuff) that I used to have is first and foremost, Weaver said. They have become a pretty patient team. Not as free swinging. They make you work for it. I had to work my (butt) off there in the second and third.Weaver had allowed a run in each of his last two outings -- both wins -- before Saturday. Weaver said his command wasnt very good Saturday.It was not like it had been, Weaver said. Everything was up. It was kind of erratic. When I made good pitches, good things happened, but when I fell behind, I had to come back in with certain pitches that didnt work out too good.The Angels have lost 10 straight to Houston.Its kind of a spell of bad luck, Kole Calhoun said. They play well against us, and we are not swinging the bats here like we should be.Gattis sat Friday with a bruised right hand after being hit by a pitch Wednesday. He came back Saturday and launched a three-run homer into the Crawford Boxes in left field in the second inning and added a solo shot off the facade in left-center in the fourth to give Houston a 5-0 lead.It was his sixth career multihomer game and first since hitting a pair Aug. 26, 2015, against the Yankees.Carlos Correa had a solo home run to right in the fifth.McHugh (7-6) allowed two runs on six hits with six strikeouts in six innings. He continued his string of solid outings, allowing two runs or fewer for the sixth time in his last seven starts.Houston tacked on a run in the third when Weaver hit Preston Tucker with the bases loaded, scoring George Springer. Springer knocked an RBI single in the fourth.Ji-Man Choi had a solo home run to the upper deck in right field to lead off the fifth, and Andrelton Simmons hit an RBI single in the sixth for the Angels.ROSTER MOVESAngels: Los Angeles called up Carlos Perez from Triple-A Salt Lake. Perez started at catcher and went 0 for 3. The Angels optioned C Juan Graterol to Salt Lake.UP NEXTAngels: RHP Tim Lincecum (2-3) will make his seventh start of the season Sunday and is looking for his second straight win.Astros: RHP Mike Fiers (6-4) will make his 18th start of the season and look to bounce back from two straight starts of four innings or less, including Mondays outing in Oakland where he was tagged for six runs in 3 2/3 innings.

Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off. Pandya-moniumIn his short T20I career so far, Hardik Pandya has already bowled one of the most dramatic overs witnessed in the format: the final over of Indias World T20 game against Bangladesh in Bangalore. Now, on ODI debut, he sent down an over nearly as eventful.Pitching the ball up and swinging it away from the right-hander at a sharp pace, he caused Martin Guptill all kinds of problems. First, an attempted cover drive streaked away to the third man boundary off the outside edge. Then, looking to leave a similar delivery, Guptill withdrew his bat slightly late, and the ball kissed the bottom edge and streaked away wide of second slip again. Then came another outswinger, slightly shorter, to beat Guptills outside edge as he attempted to defend. Pandya followed this with a nervy debutant delivery, short, wide, and cracked away to the point boundary.MS Dhonis response to this ball was to treat it as an aberration, and reinforce his catching cordon, bringing in a third slip. Pandya ran in again, and angled the ball in towards off stump. Pitching on the shorter side of a good length, it left the batsman late. The line forced Guptill to play, the length froze his feet to the crease. The ball kissed his edge and flew to Rohit Sharma at second slip.The Jadhav joltIn 12 international matches before this one, Kedar Jadhav had never bowled. If there was an ideal time to bring on an utterly untested part-time offie, it was with New Zealand 57 for 5 in 16 overs. With two left-handers at the crease, Jadhav came on ahead of Amit Mishra and Axar Patel.He could have had a wicket with the last ball of his first over, when James Neesham missed a sweep. The ball, going on with the angle from around the wicket, struck Neeshams pad in front of middle and off, and umpire Bruce Oxenford must have given it a lot of thought before deciding it might have missed leg stump.Jadhhav wasnt to be denied for too much longer, though.dddddddddddd In his next over, he got a ball to stop on Neesham, who closed his bat face a touch too early while looking to work it into the leg side and popped a simple return catch. Next ball, Jadhav had two in two, as Mitchell Santner, looking to cut a non-turning delivery that cramped him for room, top-edged to MS Dhoni.Superman to BloopermanUmesh Yadav had already taken two catches in the innings - the first a stunning diving effort at mid-off to send back Corey Anderson - when Tim Southee, batting on 2, skied a top-edged pull towards him at fine leg. Umesh didnt have too much distance to cover, running forward, but perhaps misjudged the trajectory of the balls descent by a centimeter or two. Rather than let the ball plop softly into his hands, therefore, he was forced to claw at it. The ball hit his palms and bounced out. He picked it up again and threw it to the strikers end. It was a throw of frustration rather than intent to get anyone out, since the batsmen had completed the most comfortable of singles, but it found its target anyway, hitting the stumps direct.A chip off the old batAs they had done in the third Test in Indore, New Zealands fast bowlers looked to test Ajinkya Rahane with frequent use of the short ball. Unlike in Indore, Rahane could trust the pace and bounce of the pitch, and handled the line of attack with a fair degree of comfort, and even picked up a couple of pulled sixes. But the tactic did expose one chink - not in Rahanes technique but in his bat. Looking to pull Doug Bracewell from outside off stump in the second over of Indias innings, Rahane didnt quite middle the shot, and the ball dislodged a splinter of willow from the bottom of his bat.
