OAKLAND, Calif. NaVorro Bowman Jersey . -- Albert Pujols and the Los Angeles Angels will outspend the Oakland Athletics any day. So far this season, thats about all the Angels can do better than their AL West rival. Tommy Milone scattered five hits over seven innings and Kila Kaaihue drove in the go-ahead run, leading the pesky As past the Angels 2-1 on Monday night. Oakland, with a league-low $53 million payroll, is 5-2 against Los Angeles, fourth on the salary list at $155 million, this year. "The confidence grows every time you play a good game against them," As manager Bob Melvin said. "The fact that were winning some close games here recently against the division and a good team like the Angels, confidence goes a long way." Nothing flashy about the way the As keep winning. Milone (6-3) struck out three, walked one and never allowed the anemic Angels offence to get going. The leftys only blemish was an RBI double by Mike Trout in the fifth that landed between two Oakland infielders. Ryan Cook pitched a perfect eighth to extend his scoreless streak to 21 2-3 innings to start the season, and Brian Fuentes tossed a perfect ninth for his fourth save in five chances. "Tremendous amount of confidence right now," Milone said. "Its easy when you have such a big park with a lot of foul territory. I feel like when Im here, Im not afraid to pitch to contact." Kurt Suzuki drove in a run on a double-play groundout in the second and Kaaihues RBI single in the third snapped Jerome Williams four-game winning streak. Williams (4-2) hadnt lost since his first start of the season, April 15 at the New York Yankees. Los Angeles has lost three straight -- all by one run -- and four of five. The Angels are 3-9 in one-run games this season. "There are a number of guys who arent swinging the bat to their capabilities," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Were in such a hole that were not going to make it up in one or two days. Its that pitch-by-pitch grind we have to work toward." Another bad day for the Angels ended even worse. The team learned in the afternoon that Vernon Wells tore a ligament in his right thumb stealing second base in Sundays 3-2 loss at San Diego. The outfielder will have surgery Tuesday in Los Angeles and be out for at least eight to 10 weeks. The Angels, with Pujols pushing them to the big payroll, watched the low-budget As walk away with another victory. All the latest took was two bases-loaded jams to send Los Angeles to another loss. After Seth Smith singled to lead off the second, Josh Donaldson doubled to right and Daric Barton walked. Williams got Suzuki to ground into a double play and Cliff Pennington to ground out, escaping the inning with Oakland ahead 1-0. Kaaihues single scored Coco Crisp -- activated off the disabled list earlier Monday after a bout with an inner-ear infection -- from second to give the As a 2-0 lead in the third. Williams walked Smith to load the bases again before Donaldson lined out to shortstop Howie Kendrick, whose off-balance throw caught Josh Reddick leaning off second for an inning-ending double play. Oaklands only mistakes came on defence. Trout popped up down the line and first baseman Barton and second baseman Jemile Weeks gave chase. They almost collided as the ball bounced off Bartons glove for a double, scoring Kendrick from second to make it 2-1. "Its all about trying to keep the guys in the hunt for a win," Williams said. "I think I did that tonight and I want to keep doing that." Notes: The As optioned INF Eric Sogard to Triple-A Sacramento to make room for Crisp. ...

The current three-year agreement expires after this season and over the next three-year period, the four Atlantic University Sport football teams will once again play one interlock game each season, home or away, while each RSEQ school will play two games over the three-year agreement, one home and one away. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- While Robert Griffin III is quickly becoming the NFLs most exciting quarterback, theres none better than Eli Manning with the game on the line. Manning one-upped the Washington Redskins rookie sensation with a pinpoint 77-yard scoring pass to Victor Cruz with 1:13 to play and the New York Giants overcame a late touchdown toss by Griffin to defeat the Washington Redskins 27-23 on Sunday. "With our offence and Eli at the helm, were never too worried," Cruz said. "No matter what situation were in, no matter how many points we need or a field goal we need, we have the confidence we can do it. We have a lot of confidence in each other, and in Eli." The winning drive was the 22nd of Mannings career in either the fourth quarter or overtime, his second this season and eighth over the past two seasons. This pass might have been one of the most improbable. It came two plays and 19 seconds after Griffin capped what was a potential winning, 77-yard drive with a 30-yard touchdown toss to Santana Moss. The rookie had kept the drive alive with a 19-yard pass off a desperate scramble on a fourth-and-10 play deep in his own territory, and a 24-yard run on the next play. "He has done it so many times," veteran Giants defensive tackle Chris Canty said of the two-time Super Bowl MVP. "He has really bridged his performance in the 2011 season to the 2012 season. Its just more of the same. He continues to get better. He is probably the most deadly quarterback in the fourth quarter." Redskins coach Mike Shanahan agreed even though he was miffed that defensive backs Josh Wilson and Madieu Williams allowed Cruz to blow by them on the seam pattern. "He sure proved it today," Shanahan said after his team (3-4) blew a chance to move into a tie for first place in the NFC East. "It was a great throw. He was double- covered but (Manning) put it right on the money." Manning, who finished 26 of 40 for 337 yards, had to make the throw a little sooner than he wanted. "I kind of threw it high and deep and saw the coverage and was hoping Victor saw it the same way I did," he said. "I didnt see the ball get caught. I heard the cheer and that was a good sign. I got up in time to see him run into the end zone." Manning triumphantly pumped his fist once after the play as the more than 80,000 fans at MetLife Stadium erupted with cheers. "He did a good job leading his team to victory today," said Griffin, who ran for 89 yards and passed for 258 and two touchdowns. "When the game is on the line, you want the ball in your hand, no doubt about it. He made the play to win it." Griffin had Washington moving when Mosss was tackled by Chase Blackburn after an 11-yard reception and rookie Jayron Hosley recovered at the Washington 43. Y.A. Tittle 49ers Jersey. "Theres no excuse for them, but with all that stuff, we had a chance to win at the end," Griffin said. The wild finish capped a game in which both quarterbacks also made major mistakes. Ahmad Bradshaw and Andre Brown scored on 1-yard runs and Lawrence Tynes kicked a pair of field goals for the Giants, who won despite giving up 480 yards in total offence. Griffin was 20 of 28 with Moss catching both his TD passes. Fellow rookie Alfred Morris gained 120 yards rushing. The Giants had 396 yards in total offence, with the biggest chunk coming on Mannings pass to Mr. Salsa. Before the wild finish, the second half was dominated by turnovers. Griffin was picked off by safety Stevie Brown and his 41-yard return late in the third quarter set up Bradshaws 1-yard plow-job into the end zone, a play which was reviewed. Griffin moved Washington into position to tie the game on the next possession, but he fumbled after being sacked by Jason Pierre-Paul and Linval Joseph recovered the ensuring fumble at the Giants 29. On the next play from scrimmage, linebacker Rob Jackson intercepted a quick out by Manning and Forbath kicked a 45-yard field goal to narrow the lead to 20-16 with 5:21 to go. The Giants were forced to punt on their next series and Washington got the ball back at its 23. After gaining nothing in three plays, Griffin went back to pass on fourth down, eluded Pierre-Paul and then danced around long enough to find tight end Logan Paulsen for a 19-yard gain and a first down at the 42. The 24-yard scamper got the ball to the New York 34 and two plays later Moss beat Hosley and hauled in Griffins perfect pass as Griffin lay on his back and celebrated like a snow angel. "Hes tough," Blackburn said of Griffin. We played well for three downs got them into a fourth and 10, and had him. JPP had him dead to rights. Any other quarterback and he makes that sack." Manning and Cruz spoiled the afternoon seconds later. There were seven offensive possessions in the first half that resulted in 439 total yards, six scores and a 13-13 tie. NOTES: Washington TE Fred Davis suffered an Achilles tendon injury and will miss the rest of the season. ...Redskins LB London Fletcher, who has played in 231 straight games, suffered a leg-hamstring injury in the second half. ...The Redskins gained a season-high 248 yards rushing. ...
