ARLINGTON, Texas -- Rougned Odor quickly atoned for his baserunning blunders with a big blast for the Texas Rangers.Odor, thrown out on the bases twice after hits, ended it with a two-run homer to give the AL-best Rangers an 8-7 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night.Fitting for Rougned to be the guy that did it, coming off a couple of baserunning situations where he was aggressive trying to make things happen, and backfired on him, manager Jeff Banister said.After getting thrown out trying to stretch a single to right in the seventh, in between RBI singles by Adrian Beltre and Jonathan Lucroy, the veteran Beltre got the aggressive youngsters attention with a tap to the head in the dugout.Then in the ninth, after Beltres leadoff single off closer Edwin Diaz (0-3) in his second inning, Odor hit a 2-2 drive to the hill in center field for his 25th homer.I was too aggressive on the bases and it was not the right situation. (Beltre) talked to me and explained to me the situation, and I just want to say thank you to him because hes a great teammate. He teaches me little things, Odor said. In my last at-bat, I was just trying to help my team.Texas won its fourth straight and has a 10 1/2-game lead in the AL West over third-place Seattle, which has lost four straight. Houston remained 8 1/2 games back after winning earlier Tuesday against Oakland.Right after Beltres homer in the third put Texas up 4-0, Odor reached second on a double-error by Mariners starter James Paxton, who bobbled the soft comebacker and then made a throwing error. But Odor was thrown out trying to steal third base, which cost the Rangers a run since Lucroy singled right after that.The ball was right in front of Odor in the seventh when was easily thrown out by right fielder Shawn OMalley when trying to stretch his hit into a double in the seventh.Look, its a guy trying to make a baseball play. Hes aggressive, we know that, we love that about him, Banister said. There is a certain margin of error in some situations.Matt Bush (6-2), who gave up a go-ahead sacrifice fly to Robinson Cano in the eighth, came back with a perfect ninth.The Mariners overcame that early 4-0 deficit and pushed head against suddenly erratic All-Star lefty and AL ERA leader Cole Hamels with six runs over two innings.We were able to string some good at-bats together and get some runs on the board, said Kyle Seager, who drove in two runs and scored one. Thats a good team over there and theyve got a lot of fight. It kind of went back and forth. Unfortunately, they got the last blow.OUT OF THE ZONEHamels needed only 27 pitches to get through the first three innings, but his 35 in the fourth included three walks -- two with the bases loaded. His ERA rose from 2.67 to 2.91.SHORT HOPSAlex Claudio pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings between Hamels and Bush. ... Texas improved to 30-8 in one-run games with its sixth walk-off victory. ... Rangers pitchers havent allowed a homer in their last eight games, matching Miami for the longest streak in the majors this season.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: Paxton ripped a fingernail in the third, but still pitched five innings. ... DH Nelson Cruz was given the night off because of a nerve issue in his left hand that is making it difficult to grip the bat. X-rays and an MRI showed no structural damage. Cruz hurt his hand on a checked swing Sunday, and his taking medication to ease the inflammation.Rangers: RHP Colby Lewis allowed five runs and eight hits over 3 1/3 innings in a rehab start for Double-A Frisco. He threw 41 of his 60 pitches for strikes. Lewis (strained right lat) has been out since late June.UP NEXTMariners: Felix Hernandez (9-4) pitches against Texas for the first time since this years seasons opener, when he gave up only one hit but walked five in six innings in a 3-2 loss. He faced the Rangers five times last season.Rangers: Martin Perez (8-10) has lost his last two starts, allowing 12 runs in 11 2/3 innings. The lefty is 1-6 his last 10 starts.

Marcus Allen Raiders Jersey . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. Toby Roland-Jones, the Middlesex seamer, has been handed his first England call-up and Gary Ballance has been recalled for the first Test against Pakistan at Lords, which starts from July 14. Injuries have kept Ben Stokes and James Anderson on the sidelines while Jos Buttler has not earned a recall.Roland-Jones, 28, a tall seam bowler, averages 25.17 in first-class cricket and has been on Englands radar for a few seasons. Yesterday he played a key role in a notable Middlesex victory over Yorkshire at Scarborough as he clubbed a quickfire unbeaten 79 and took three wickets in the second innings to finish with six in the match. Overall, he has 30 wickets at 29.06 in the County Championship this season; in 2015 he took 48 wickets at 27.04.Anderson has not recovered sufficiently from his shoulder injury while the selectors want Stokes to play more cricket after his return to action from knee surgery - he has yet to resume bowling for Durham although Trevor Bayliss hinted he may have been included as a batsman.Like always, selection is very opinionated, and they could have picked him but the lack of cricket in the last few weeks has meant theyve gone that way, Alastair Cook, the England captain, said. Hes just back from a long time out of the game.It has been confirmed that Joe Root will move up to No. 3 - something Bayliss has pushed for - to fill the spot vacated by Nick Compton which means Ballance, who was dropped during last years Ashes series, will return in the middle order. Ballance struck his first century of the season against Middlesex this week - he is averaging 33.64 in the Championship - and has fought off competition from the heavily tipped Scott Borthwick who averages 58.50 this season with three centuries.He hasnt changed a huge amounnt in terms of technique, just keep evolving it to keep it in as good a position as you can.dddddddddddd What he does have is that hard edge, Cook said.On Roots promotion, Cook added: Its a conversation weve had over the last week, its the right thing to do, hes our best player, and its quite an Australian thing to do. Theres no reason why he wont score same amount of runs as at No. 4.After the one-day series against Sri Lanka, Bayliss spoke highly of Buttlers credentials and suggested he could return to the Test side as a batsman despite not having played first-class cricket since he was dropped in the UAE last year, but in the end that lack of red-ball cricket has been a deciding factor. It also means that Bairstow will retain the wicketkeeping gloves.Those guys and Jason Roy, Tom Westley, Scott Borthwick were all discussed as very good options, Cook said. The argument with Jos is he hasnt played red-ball cricket for a long time, you do need to know your method.Jake Ball, the Nottinghamshire seamer, who was in each squad for the Sri Lanka series retains his place despite an elbow niggle and will likely compete for a spot in the final XI with Roland-Jones.Its disappointing that Jimmy hasnt made it but Jakes in the squad, hes started the season in fantastic form, Stuart Broad said. Hes had a slight elbow niggle but hes learnt a lot about his bowling in last 18 months and hes ready to make that step upHes got physical attributes, he moves the ball both ways, comes round the wicket to the left-handers and hits the ball harder. You cant make judgements about temperament, but hes taken wickets on TV which is a good sign. ' ' '
