ARLINGTON, Texas -- Jonathan Villar homered on the first pitch of the game for the Milwaukee Brewers. His sacrifice fly on a foul pop to short right field in the second inning put them back ahead after blowing their first lead.There was not another comeback after a trio of former Brewers helped put the AL-leading Texas Ranger ahead to stay late.Carlos Gomez, a former two-time All-Star with the Brewers, hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the eighth inning to give the Rangers an 8-5 victory, their MLB-best 49th come-from-behind win.Im not surprised. I know hes a hard worker. He plays hard and always has been a good hitter, center fielder Hernan Perez said.Jonathan Lucroy, the catcher traded from Milwaukee to Texas on Aug. 1, started the Texas eighth when he reached on a two-base error by Perez. And Jeremy Jeffress, the reliever who went to Texas with Lucroy, worked two scoreless innings for his first win with the Rangers.The Brewers scored in each of the first three innings to build a 5-3 lead against All-Star left-hander Cole Hamels, who likely will start the Rangers postseason opener Oct. 6. But they didnt score again.We did a nice job for the first three innings. We had him on the ropes a little bit. We were aggressive and did a nice job staying off some stuff, manager Craig Counsell said. We didnt quite do enough defensively tonight just overall to keep a really good lineup in check.Corey Knebel (1-4) was the fourth Brewers pitcher when he took over in the eighth, and Lucroy hit a ball that ricocheted off the glove of a leaping Perez.That one was like a knuckleball. It went left to right, and at the last minute moved to the left again, said Perez, playing only his fifth game in center this season.Lucroys pinch-runner, Delino DeShields, scored the tying run on Elvis Andrus RBI single before Gomez then hit a 418-foot drive to left field, a night after hitting another long three-run homer -- a 444-footer. He started this season in Houston, where he had been traded last year by Milwaukee, before being released by the Astros last month.Texas went ahead with a three-run first that started when Gomez reached on a double after second baseman Villar never saw the popup that dropped in short right-center field. Rougned Odor snapped an 0-for-22 slide with his 32nd homer after Adrian Beltres RBI single,The ball that was hard to see, obviously theres nothing you can do about that, Brewers starter Chase Anderson said. That was tough to swallow. Even as a hitter, you think youre out when you hit a ball like that.The Brewers led again after two unearned runs in the second. All-Star center fielder Ian Desmonds throwing error allowed one run to score and set up Yadiel Rivera at third base to go home on Villars shallow foul popup caught by second baseman Odor.WINNING COMEBACKJeffress got the victory five days after being reinstated by Major League Baseball from the restricted list following a drunken driving arrest last month and then a three-week stint in an inpatient rehab clinic. He retired all four Milwaukee batters he faced Monday.TOUGH STARTAnderson had allowed only three runs in 22 1/3 innings in his four previous starts, but he allowed three in the first inning against Texas. The right-hander left after five innings, having given up only an unearned run after that initial outburst by the Rangers.SUTERS 2ND STARTYoung lefty Brent Suter, a 31st-round draft pick out of Harvard in 2012, will start Friday when the Brewers open a three-game series at Colorado. He is going in place of scheduled starter Taylor Jungmann, who suffered a hip injury in a start last Saturday.Suter has pitched 12 1/3 scoreless innings in 12 relief appearances since getting called up for an emergency start Aug. 19 against Seattle, when he allowed four runs in 4 1/3 innings in his major league debut.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: Jungmann felt pain running to first base during an at-bat Saturday, then stayed in another half-inning before coming out because of his hip abductor.UP NEXTThe Brewers are off Thursday before playing in Colorado on Friday.

STANFORD, Calif. -- With a young quarterback making his second career start, Stanford coach David Shaw was fully comfortable having his team run the ball on its final 29 plays from scrimmage.With a backfield tandem of 2015 Heisman Trophy finalist Christian McCaffrey and promising sophomore Bryce Love, Shaws decision was really a no-brainer.McCaffrey rushed for 199 yards and a touchdown, Love scored on a 56-yard touchdown run and Stanford beat Oregon State 26-15 on Saturday afternoon.Conrad Ukropina kicked a career-high four field goals, including a personal best-tying 52-yarder in the first half, to help the Cardinal (6-3, 4-3 Pac-12) become bowl eligible.We were running the ball for six yards a clip, theyre getting a little bit tired and weve got two running backs we can rotate through there, Shaw said of his decision to keep the ball on the ground over the final 20 minutes. When youve got an offensive line thats feeling good and creating creases, and two running backs that are getting better and better, (with) a two-score lead . why put it up in the air? Lets ground this thing and lets end the game.Stanford sputtered offensively much of the day and had to overcome three fumbled snaps by quarterback Keller Chryst but held on to win its seventh straight against Oregon State (2-7, 1-5).The Cardinal did it behind another strong outing by its defense, which intercepted Beavers quarterback Marcus McMaryion twice in the second half.More importantly, Stanford piled up 365 yards rushing and controlled the ball for more than 39 minutes.It went well but I go as the O-line goes and they did a fantastic job today, McCaffrey said. Still, at the end of the day we have a lot of things we have to work on. We have to finish the ball in the end zone. Too many field goals.McCaffrey, whose 51-yard run in the first half helped set up Ukropinas second field goal, scored on a one-yard run in the third quarter. The 2015 Heisman Trophy finalist was also stopped on a 4th-and-1 plunge late in the fourth quarter.Its the 16th 100-yard game for McCaffrey since the start of the 2015 season.Love, a sophomore who filled in when McCaffrey was injured earlier this season, finished with 89 yards on nine carries.If theres nobody between him and the goaal line youre not going to catch him, Shaw said of Love.ddddddddddddStanfords ground game was key on a day Chryst was more effective running the ball than throwing it in his second career start. Chryst completed 10 of 17 passes for 60 yards but rushed for 83 including a 44-yard keeper that set up McCaffreys touchdown.The win puts Stanford in line for a bowl bid. The Cardinal have played in the Rose Bowl three of the past four years but arent in the running for the Pac-12 title this time around despite going into the season as favorites.Ryan Nall rushed for 77 yards on 10 carries for Oregon State. The Beavers have lost four straight and six of seven.McMaryion passed for one touchdown and ran for another but completed only 10 of 24 attempts for 137 yards.Credit Stanfords defense, McMaryion said. Its real simple. They line up and come at you. They did well in man coverage. We have to execute better.I can help the offense more, show my athleticism in the run aspect of the game.THE TAKEAWAYOregon State: Nall had another solid afternoon running the ball but not much else went right for the Beavers. The offense failed to generate a single first down on four drives and committed a pair of turnovers. That was simply too much to overcome for coach Gary Andersens team.Stanford: Its been a rough season for Shaw and his staff but theyre still headed for the postseason and thats a positive. Even without much production from the passing game this was an easier-than-it-looked win for the Cardinal. McCaffrey and Love gave the offense a much-needed boost but it was the defense again that made the difference.UP NEXTOregon State: The Beavers finally catch a break in the schedule with their Nov. 12 trip to UCLA. The Bruins have dropped four straight this season but beat Oregon State 41-0 in Corvalis a year ago.Stanford: The Cardinal travel to Eugene to face the Oregon Ducks on Nov. 12 in a meeting between two former Pac-12 champions who have fallen on rough times. Stanford has lost 11 of the previous 14 games against Oregon, including last years 38-36 loss.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
