ARLINGTON, Texas -- Deficits and close ballgames just dont seem to bother the Texas Rangers.Texas won in walk-off fashion again Monday night, coming back to beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-2. The American League West rivals continue the three-game series with the middle installment Tuesday night at Globe Life Park.The Rangers own eight walk-off wins this season, including two on the current homestand. Texas has 20 last at-bat victories. The clubs 46 come-from-behind wins are second most in club history (50 in 2013) and lead Major League Baseball.And when it comes to one-run games, no team is better. Texas has won 12 of last 14 decided by a single run, improving to 35-10 overall.Thats how we play, said Elvis Andrus, who scored the deciding run in the series opener. Thats been our DNA this year. We dont give up to the last out, the last pitch. Its contagious. I think everybody is feeling the same way. Everybody keeps pushing. We dont count ourselves out until the last out.Im really happy with the way were playing baseball right now. Were going to come back tomorrow and try to win the series.The Rangers are sending A.J. Griffin (7-4, 4.78 ERA) to the hill to try to clinch the series. The right-hander hasnt been particularly sharp lately, but the club has won three of his last four starts and seven of 10.Griffin owns a 5.96 ERA over his last eight starts. He hasnt pitched since Sept. 13 as Texas manager Jeff Banister lines up his staff for the playoffs.Banister announced that lefty Derek Holland would start Wednesday in the series finale, pushing back Cole Hamels from his normal turn to the series opener Friday at Oakland. Yu Darvish would follow Saturday, mirroring the playoff rotation.Hamels and Darvish would also start the following Friday and Saturday to set them up for the first two games of the ALDS, which starts Oct. 6.Its the appropriate time for both of them to get extra rest, Banister told reporters.Hamels and Darvish have struggled recently. Getting the two aces rest isnt as important as getting them on track.It would be nice for them to go out, throw the ball well and have some success, Banister added. There would be a lot of feel good. Whats necessary is for all our guys to get on that roll.The Angels are countering with Daniel Wright (0-3, 7.04) in the second game of the series. The rookie is making his third appearance for Angels and fifth start of the season.Claimed off waivers from Cincinnati earlier this month, Wright made his Angels debut on Sept. 10 against Texas. He didnt factor in the decision after tossing five innings and allowing four earned runs on six hits.The Angels have gotten solid starting pitching lately.Its encouraging, because weve seen guys that were looking forward to seeing where theyre going to be next year because they have a chance to help us, manager Mike Scioscia said. The heartbeat of the club is your rotation. We need to get a little more consistent, a little deeper there, and hopefully we start to see it. Yeezy Winkel Belgie .

Yeezy Boost Goedkoop . Speaking Thursday on TSN 1050 Thursday, the Leafs GM also touched on the questions surrounding the teams leadership and the struggles of his big-name free-agent signing. “Its not from lack of effort from the coaching staff. Yeezy Schoenen Sale .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. On the day last week that Team USA announced its leadership group, a few eyebrows were raised that Patrick Kane got an A as an alternate captain.Even Kane, the defending Hart Trophy winner and NHL scoring champion, acknowledged that wearing a letter with this team wasnt something he had necessarily anticipated.Its a pretty huge honor, he said. I dont know if I was really expecting it. But I think theres so many great leaders in here.Team USA head coach John Tortorella, as he is wont to do, was unequivocal about his decision to not only include Kane in the teams leadership group, but to bestow upon him an even greater symbol of leadership with an A.He deserves it, the coach said, who also named Joe Pavelski captain and Ryan Suter the other alternate captain.Its not that Kanes resume doesnt speak to greatness. It does.Three Stanley Cups, rookie-of-the-year honors, a playoff MVP award, a silver medal in the 2010 Olympics and, of course, last years dazzling regular season that saw him become the first-ever American to win a scoring title, which went along with his first MVP nod.A money player? One of the best of his generation. But a heart-and-soul guy? A leader?Thats a different story.With the Chicago Blackhawks, it has always been captain Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook and Marian Hossa. Those were the guys, at least in terms of the notion of leadership. Sure, its nuance, but Kane was different, an immense talent to be sure. But different.Maybe part of this has been his style of play: wildly creative as opposed to possessing the grit we ascribe to most so-called leaders in the game. Maybe part of this has been his past, which has always been a complicated bit of work, given repeated off-ice troubles, including last summers allegation that he sexually assaulted a girl in his Buffalo-area home. Criminal charges were never filed, but the incident polarized how the public views a player who might well end his career as the greatest American player of all time.But the A signals something different for Kane as we head into the World Cup of Hockey. On a U.S. team full of grit and determination, he is now being expected to be something different -- or perhaps something more.I dont coach him, but I watch him during our year, and I listen to him and I see maturity about him, Tortorella said. I cant get too deep into that, but I want him to take more responsibility now. I think hes ready for more responsibility as a leader of a USA team.And so coming off his most successful season as an individual, Kane has now been given a platform that will allow him to, if not redefine himself, then at least enlarge his portfolio, expand his hockey persona.I dont think its something that is going to change who I am or change the way I play or anything like that, Kane said, but its just kind of a nice honor for the team to give me. And, besides, I think were looking to everyone in this locker room to help lead in some way or another.Longtime NHLer and current national broadcaster Ed Olczyk said he would have gone as far to give the C to Kane, although he did praise the selection of Pavelski as the Team USA captain.In my eyes, whether he has a letter or not, he has learned and earned how to and is a leader, Olczyk said.Former goalie and longtime NHL analyst Kevin Weekes, who is providing analysis for ESPN during the World Cup, echoed those sentiments, saying that there is often a predisposition to downplay the leadership roles of highly skilled players.They discredit his work ethic because of his skill, Weekes said. But they dont know his skill is because of his work ethic.I think this is another step for him, Weekees added.dddddddddddd. I know that hes had missteps along the way, as many of us have had, all of us. Hes a very, very, very passionate hockey player and hes committed to being great.Not everyone feels the same way. One longtime player and scout said simply he believes the A is based solely on skill.Either youre a leader or you arent, the former player said via text. Maybe the most dangerous offensive player in the world. His name and game-breaking qualities allow them to put an A on his jersey. Not because of leadership and character qualities. Just how I see it.This past summer was a different one for Kane, 27, on a number of different fronts. First, it was a lot longer than most recent summers because the Blackhawks were dispatched in the first round by the St. Louis Blues,?after going to either the conference finals or the Stanley Cup finals five of the previous seven seasons. Second, he spent most of his summer in Chicago, as opposed to his native Buffalo, where he has traditionally spent most of his offseasons. He played golf and worked out with a different group of NHLers and Blackhawks prospects. But one thing he didnt do was spend much time reflecting on his season, instead looking forward to proving it was not a one-off.You win an award like [the Hart], and I think for me you dont really want to see that as a fluke, Kane said. You want to come back, and I think thats where the motivation is for me now. Obviously, you dont want to have that one good season and then fall down. You want to keep that level of consistency.Is he more mature? Different?I still feel Im the same person, Kane said. For me, ... I havent really changed who I am as a person, just kind of as you get older, you figure some things out. Kind of grow up at your own rate, I guess.Whether its a throwaway line or not, his teammates and opponents seem to agree there is an ongoing maturation from Kane.Someone that has the vision that he has and sees the game, slows it down, said former Blackhawks teammate Dustin Byfuglien, who now faces Kane regularly as a member of the Winnipeg Jets and is a Team USA teammate.Its just maturity, the big defenseman added. The older you get, the more you get comfortable with your environment. You know how to slow the game down. He can make some adjustments as he goes. Hes done a lot of great things.David Backes, now with the Boston Bruins, has played with Kane in two Olympics and has squared off dozens of times as a member of the Blues.I think theres no denying theres world-class skill and ability there, said Backes. Winning a Hart Trophy last year is definitely a symptom of that. A guy you always have to be aware of on the ice. If you dont play him the right way, hes making you pay in a big way and can win games on his own. ... All those things come to mind.Like many of his U.S. teammates, there is much to prove for Kane in the short-term at the World Cup of Hockey. He had a difficult Olympics in Russia, coming pretty much straight from his grandfathers funeral to then fail to score in six games, missing two penalty shots in the Americans disappointing loss to Finland in the bronze-medal game.Its kind of the challenge thats ahead of us, Kane said. Canadas proven themselves for the last five, six years as the best hockey country in the world, and we feel we have something to say about that and want to prove ourselves. Its a great opportunity for us to do it here in this World Cup.As it turns out, opportunities might abound for both this team -- and those chosen to lead it. ' ' '
