CLEVELAND -- Zach McAllister wasnt about to let one bad inning ruin five good ones. Clevelands rookie right-hander lasted six innings, overcoming a throwing error and two home runs in the fifth, and Shelley Duncan homered to lead the Indians to a 9-5 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night. McAllister (3-1), who began the season pitching at Triple-A Columbus, allowed three earned runs and eight hits, and he and the Indians recovered after blowing a four-run lead. "Hes not afraid," Indians manager Manny Acta said of McAllister. "It was good to see a guy like that shake it off." Duncan homered in the fourth off an ineffective Dan Haren (6-8), who after the game acknowledged his lower back has been bothering him most of the season and seems destined for the disabled list. Jose Lopez had three hits and Michael Brantley two RBIs for the Indians, who remained two games behind first-place Chicago in the AL Central. Rookie Mike Trout hit a three-run homer and Albert Pujols had a solo shot off McAllister in the fifth for the Angels, who lost for just the fourth time in 13 games. The Indians are 5-1 in games started by McAllister, who had to recover from a rare throwing error by third baseman Jack Hannahan in the fifth when the Angels scored five runs. "It happens. Its part of the game and you have to deal with it," McAllister said of Hannahans miscue, which opened the door for LAs big inning. "Hanny has made a lot of plays for me in the past and hes going to continue to make plays. Unfortunately that cost me a couple of runs, but we were able to score and I rebounded pretty well." Throwing errors by both teams low-lighted an eight-run fifth inning when the Angels scored five times to take the lead before giving it right back. Cleveland, which led 4-0 after four, trailed 5-4 before scoring three in the fifth to chase Haren, who allowed six earned runs and nine hits in 4 1-3 innings and lost for the first time in six career starts at Progressive Field. Shin-Soo Choo opened the fifth with a double and with one out the Angels intentionally walked Jason Kipnis to face Lopez, who singled in his previous at-bat. The strategy backfired when Lopez doubled to score Choo and Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia pulled Haren. Hisanori Takahashi came in and got Brantley to hit a grounder to Pujols, who stepped on first but threw wildly to the plate as Kipnis scored from third. The ball skipped away from catcher John Hester, who recovered it and made an accurate underhand toss to Takahashi covering, but the reliever dropped it as Lopez slid home to make it 7-5. Kipnis was lying face down after sliding into the plate when he realized Lopez was trying to score. "I heard the crowd," Kipnis said. "When I saw the catcher sprinting to get the ball, I peeked back and Lopez was almost halfway down the line so I had thought, I better get out of the way right now. He was coming in hot and I like the aggressiveness right there." Brantley drove in Clevelands eighth run in the seventh on a groundout. Aided by Hannahans throwing error, the Angels overcame a four-run deficit by scoring five runs in the top half. Trout hit a three-run homer and Pujols added his solo shot, but neither would have happened if not for Hannahans costly miscue. After giving up two singles, McAllister retired Erick Aybar on a liner to third and got Hester to hit a routine grounder to Hannahan, who quickly threw to second to start a double play. However, Hannahans throw was way off the bag and went right, scoring a run. "Ninety-nine times out of 100 he makes that throw," Kipnis said. "So no one really got on him or really said a word to him because we know thats one in a million right there." Haren was tagged for six earned runs and nine hits in 4 1-3 innings. The Indians had hit for the cycle against him in the first four innings. "Id do anything for this team," said Haren, who has allowed 26 earned runs in 27 innings. "Id go out and pitch with a broken arm if I could, but at some point youre hurting the team rather than helping it. I gotta feel better than I am right now." Trout fell behind 0-2, worked the count full by taking a couple close pitches and crushed his 10th homer. One out later, Pujols connected for his 13th homer -- all since May 4 -- to make it 5-4. Notes: The game was delayed 1 hour, 41 minutes by two rain delays.

ATLANTA -- The Phillies have started to win again, but Cole Hamels cautions this still isnt the kind of team that can "steamroll" opponents the way they have in recent seasons. Hamels predicts more close games ahead for Philadelphia, just like Tuesday night when John Mayberry Jr. doubled and scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and the Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 4-2. The Phillies (12-12), the five-time defending NL East champions, have won five of seven to return to .500 after finishing April at 11-12 for their first losing record in a full month since going 11-15 in June 2009. "I still think we have a lot of work to do," said Hamels, who gave up two runs in six innings, leaving with the game tied 2-2. "We just have to keep battling. Things arent going to come easy. Sometimes we have months in the past where things just seemed like they were easy because it seemed like we could just steamroll through a team. Its not going to be that case anymore." Hamels said other teams in the NL East "are just too good" and the Phillies are missing injured stars Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. "Weve got injuries and weve got to battle through and just kind of play harder than weve been accustomed to," Hamels said. "Hopefully the easy wins will come, but I dont think there will be that many in store." The Phillies are starting a stretch of nine straight games against NL East rivals. "This is where we can make up our ground," Hamels said. "Hopefully this can kind of spark us into being the team that we know were capable of being and what everybody obviously expects us to be. Were playing against better teams and teams that have better records than us and we have to change that and start getting momentum back on our side and things will flow a lot easier." After Brandon Beachy gave up only two runs in seven innings to outlast Hamels, the Phillies broke a 2-2 tie with two runs against left-hander Jonny Venters (2-1). Mayberry, in the game as a pinch-hitter, doubled to right with one out, moved to third on Jimmy Rollins single and scored on Venters wild pitch to Placido Polanco. Shane Victorino added an infield hit and Pence singled to right, driving in Rollins for a 4-2 lead. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said the bloop double could be a spaark for Mayberry, who was hitting only .dddddddddddd204. "Thats getting the job done, thats a big hit, an important hit," Manuel said. "A blooper can definitely get you going. Sometimes thats one of the best feelings in baseball, I think." Antonio Bastardo (1-1) pitched a perfect seventh. Jonathan Papelbon earned his ninth save by retiring the Braves in order in the ninth. Venters gave up four hits and two runs, the first he has allowed in 10 games, while recording two outs. "Brandon pitched his butt off," Venters said. "For me to give it away like that is unacceptable. "I left some sinkers up in the zone and they dont miss those pitches." Rollins and Pence each had two hits. "Theyre missing a couple big pieces but thats still a formidable lineup theyre throwing out there every day," Beachy said. The Phillies took a 2-0 lead in the fourth. Polanco singled and moved to third on a double by Pence with two outs. Ty Wigginton followed with a single which skipped past left fielder Martin Prado. Pence ran past third base before Prados error, so Wigginton, who advanced to third, was credited with two RBIs. After Brian McCanns homer in the fourth, the Braves pulled even with one run off Hamels in the sixth. Singles by Freddie Freeman and Matt Diaz and a walk to McCann loaded the bases. Freeman scored from third on Juan Franciscos flyball to left field. Beachy gave up five hits and two runs in seven innings. The Braves helped Beachy with two strong defensive plays in the seventh. Tyler Pastornicky made a diving grab of Pences line drive to open the inning. Matt Diaz, running at full speed, then caught Wiggintons liner at the right-field wall. NOTES: The Phillies placed RHP David Herndon on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation and called up RHP Brian Sanches from Triple A Lehigh Valley. Herndon was having tests on the elbow in Philadelphia. ... Braves RF Jason Heyward was held out for the second straight day with soreness around his right oblique muscle, and he said he may not play on Wednesday. 3B Chipper Jones, also held out, has started only 12 of 24 games. ... Phillies RHP Roy Halladay, who is 4-1 in his career against Atlanta, will start in Wednesday nights game against Braves RHP Tommy Hanson. ' ' '
