ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels saw one of their future stars make strides but may have lost their biggest star for the last days of the season, as Mike Trout exited the game after taking a fastball to the shoulder.Kole Calhoun homered, Alex Meyer earned his second major league win and the Angels held off a late rally from the Oakland Athletics to sweep the three-game series with an 8-6 win Wednesday night.Trout was hit by a John Axford fastball in the back of his left shoulder in the eighth inning and was removed from the game. Hell have imaging done Thursday to determine whether or not he can play through the weekend against the Houston Astros.Trout said the pitch hit his shoulder blade and left him with a sizable, sore welt.I want to (play), Ill tell you that, Trout said. Weve got three games left, so Im going to try to grind it out.Meyer (2-3) limited the As to two runs on five hits over four innings and struck out five. J.C. Ramirez pitched a perfect ninth to convert his second save.I think theres no doubt that Alex is moving forward in many ways, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. I think first and foremost, I think his delivery is getting more consistent. Hes able to repeat it, his arm angle is where hes working towards getting it, and hopefully hell continue to improve with his consistency.Meyer said his month in the big leagues has been beneficial for his confidence.Im definitely happy, Meyer said. Going into next year, now Ive kind of had some success. Ive learned a lot and I took some bumps and bruises along with way.Khris Davis, who played at nearby Cal State Fullerton, hit his 41st home run and his sixth against the Angels this season in the sixth inning, making the score 8-3. Marcus Semien brought the As to within two runs with a three-run homer, also his sixth against Los Angeles, in the eighth.After going down 2-0 early, the Angels rallied for eight runs in the fourth inning. Ross Detwiler (3-3) got the first out but then put then put the next four batters on and gave up two runs before getting the second out.With runners on the corners, Shane Robinson cleared the bases with a double to left and took third on the throw. Calhoun homered for the 17th time this season to give Los Angeles a 6-2 lead and Mike Trout singled to keep the inning alive.The Calhoun one was the one that really hurt, As manager Bob Melvin said. Whether or not coming in and not being the starter (was an issue), thats something you have to ask him but hes relieved and started before so that shouldnt have been an issue.Detwiler was finally replaced after giving up a double to C.J. Cron, the 10th batter of the inning. Reliever Chris Smith couldnt end the threat as he walked the next two batters to walk in a run and Stephen Vogts failure to throw to first on a grounder by Jett Bandy allowed Cron to score for the eighth run of the inning.Gregorio Petit, the 14th batter, finally ended the inning by grounding out to Smith.Sonny Gray was activated from the 15-day disabled list prior to his start. Gray was limited to only one inning and was replaced by Detwiler. He gave up one hit and faced four batters in his first start since Aug. 6.He threw the ball where he wanted to, he had a good breaking ball, Melvin said. He was very composed for an excitable guy that hasnt been out there for a while.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: RHP Garrett Richards threw off the mound to hitters for the first time since tearing his ulnar collateral ligament May 1. Richards, who has been throwing for a month after stem cell treatments showed significant healing in the ligament, will throw another bullpen this weekend before continuing his season in the instructional league.UP NEXTAthletics: RHP Kendall Graveman will start the As final series of the season, Thursday in Seattle. Graveman is 0-3 with a 5.28 ERA in his last five starts and has posted similar numbers against the Mariners, going 1/3 with a 5.40 ERA in seven career appearances.Angels: Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia declined to name a starter for Fridays series-opener against the Houston Astros.

The No. 106-ranked prospect chose the Wolverines over Florida and Miami and gives Michigan nine ESPN 300 commitments in the 2017 class.Maybe more significant, though, is that since the 2016 class, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has now landed five ESPN 300 prospects from SEC territory, including Herbert, who hails from Florida.Harbaugh has secured 21 total commitments from the south in the 2015 to 2018 classes. Prior to that, Michigan had only landed five commitments from the south from the 2011 to 2014 classes, and only one was an ESPN 300 prospect.Whether the uptick has been thanks to running satellite camps and getting Michigans name in front of more prospects or just Harbaughs name, thhe Wolverines are benefiting in a major way.ddddddddddddAdding Herbert could also help land another ESPN 300 offensive lineman from Florida in Herberts American Heritage teammate Tedarrell Slaton, who is also considering Michigan. And the Wolverines could very well land ESPN 300 wide receiver Nico Collins from Alabama, which would make this class full of commitments from the south for Harbaugh and his staff.With Herbert on board, Michigan has 18 total commitments, and the nine ESPN 300 commits put the Wolverines in a tie for third most ESPN 300 commitments with LSU and Oklahoma, trailing Ohio State with 11 and Alabama with 10.
