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.Benny Snell Jr. Youth Jersey .ca! Kerry, Two nights after the Scott-Eriksson incident in Buffalo, the Bruins returned home to play San Jose.

Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human.And so November is here, bearing down on an unsuspecting league like a runaway freight train. In short, if you dont come ready to play in November, youre going to get flattened.Here are five players who need to look up and see the headlights headed their way:Henrik Zetterberg, LW,?Detroit Red WingsIt has been a kind of a feast-or-famine start to the season for the Red Wings, as a six-game winning streak has been bookended by a pair of two-game slides. If Detroit is going to be more consistent, it stands to reason that its captain will lead the way.So far it has been a difficult start for Zetterberg, though, as he has just four assists in 10 games.Zetterberg, 36, missed the World Cup of Hockey because he was still recovering from injury and is coming off an NHL season that saw him register just 50 points, well off his career average, and finish with a minus-15. The classy Swede scored just once in a five-game, first-round loss to the?Tampa Bay Lightning?last spring and is clearly struggling to find his game for a Red Wings team that many picked to miss the playoffs.Patrice Bergeron, C,?Boston BruinsIts fair to suggest that the 5-4-0 Bruins are getting by early on thanks to the play of goalie?Tuukka Rask. That was apparent when Rask missed time recovering from injury last week, and its a red flag for a Bruins team desperate to get back to the playoffs after missing the postseason for two consecutive years.Bostons power play ranks dead last in the league and it is 26th in goals scored per game. One of the key offensive issues early on has been the lack of production from glue guy Bergeron. Its clear the three-time Frank J. Selke Trophy winner is not quite right, as he has just one goal in six games and bears little resemblance to the dynamo who lit it up in the World Cup while playing with tournament MVP Sidney Crosby and Bruins linemate Brad Marchand, and who led Boston a year ago with a career-best 32 goals and collected 68 points.Theres something amiss with one of the games great two-way players, and Bergeron rounding back into form is crucial to the Bruins staying in the hunt.Loui Eriksson, LW,?Vancouver CanucksHey, we get that nobody expected much from the Canucks this season (except, of course the Canucks, presumably). But they bolted out of the gate with four consecutive wins to make us all take notice before coming back to earth with four straight losses through Nov. 1.If Vancouver is going to stay relevant, its going to need a lot more from Eriksson, its key offseason acquisition. Lots of folks were critical of the six-year, $36 million deal signed by the former?Bruins?winger, who is coming off a solid, 30-goal season in 2015-16. That criticism seems valid, as Eriksson has struggled in his new ennvirons, scoring no goals with just four assists for the Canucks, who rank last in the NHL in goals scored per game.ddddddddddddLast season, Eriksson had 10 power-play goals and 17 power-play points for the Bruins. Not surprisingly given Erikssons early struggles, the Canucks power play is among the worst in the NHL, ranking 26th with just three power-play goals on 28 opportunities.Andrew Ladd, LW,?New York IslandersWhen the Islanders gave up six goals to the?Tampa Bay Lightning?through the first 32 minutes on Tuesday night en route to a 6-1 drubbing at home, it marked a low-water mark for a team that entered the season looking to build on its first playoff series victory since 1993.The Isles rank as one of the most disappointing -- and, indeed, one of the most dysfunctional -- teams in the league. And although the problems are many and varied for New York -- which is 4-6-0 and sits 15th in the Eastern Conference -- its clear its big offseason acquisition, former Winnipeg Jets captain and two-time Stanley Cup winner Ladd, hasnt yet been close to what the Isles hoped he would be.Ladd has struggled mightily to fit in with John Tavares or, frankly, anyone else with the Islanders, as he has just one assist in 10 games. Ladds struggles in the wake of signing a seven-year, $38.5 million deal have become even more noticeable given the early-season successes of former Islanders Kyle Okposo and Frans Nielsen, who signed with the?Buffalo Sabres and Red Wings, respectively.Keith Yandle, D,?Florida PanthersIt was a disappointing October for the defending Atlantic Division-champion Panthers, and they started November with another loss, this one a 2-1 decision to the Bruins. The loss highlighted Floridas ongoing issues with generating offense. The lack of jump has been especially noticeable from the back end, where the Panthers are expecting big things from young star Aaron Ekblad and Yandle, their big free-agent acquisition.Ekblad has just one goal and zero assists while the smooth-skating Yandle, who was inked to a seven-year deal worth $44.5 million in the summer, has chipped in just four assists in 10 games for the 4-5-1 Panthers. Just one of Yandles points has come on the power play and, perhaps not surprisingly, Florida ranks 24th in power-play efficiency. A year ago, the Panthers had the 23rd-ranked power play, and the addition of Yandle was expected to boost the units efficiency as well as help boost the teams overall offense. That hasnt happened.Honorable mentions:?Anze Kopitar, C,?Los Angeles Kings;?Mike Cammalleri, C,?New Jersey Devils;?Michal Neuvirth, G,?Philadelphia Flyers. ' ' '
