(Sports Network) - R. Seantrel Henderson Womens Jersey .A. Dickey will look to stay hot tonight as he goes for his fourth-straight win against the equally hot C.J. Wilson of the Angels in the second of a three-game set. There havent been many things to go right for the Angels this season. C.J. Wilson, though, has been a silver lining in an otherwise miserable season. The left-hander goes after his 16th win of the year on Wednesday at Rogers Centre. Wilson won his seventh straight decision on Friday against Texas, as he allowed four runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings to improve to 15-6 on the year to go along with a 3.42 ERA. Over his last 16 starts he is 11-1 with a 2.96 ERA. Wilson has faced Toronto 16 times (6 starts) and is 2-3 with a 3.55 ERA. Dickey is 12-12 with a 4.29 ERA. Dickey defeated Minnesota on Friday, holding the Twins to three runs and seven hits in six innings. "The six or more innings, three runs or less, is something Ive always tried to do," said Dickey, who is 4-1 with a 2.88 ERA in his last eight starts. "I havent done it great this year, but I have done it adequately. "You set some goals for yourself. Hopefully, you can get above 200 innings, you can win close to 15 games -- those are all good benchmarks. But at this point, you still have to be careful not to get too far ahead of yourself and reduce it to a moment-by-moment scenario, so that I can commit to every pitch." In 22 games (6 starts) against the Angels, Dickey is 3-3 with a 4.29 ERA. In Tuesdays opener, Mark Trumbo became the first player in franchise history to record five hits and five runs scored in the same game as Los Angeles rolled to a 12-6 win. Trumbo finished his historic night a perfect 5-for-5 with three doubles, a home run and two RBI. Josh Hamilton swung a good bat as well, smacking his 20th home run as part of a three-hit, four-RBI game. Chris Iannetta and Erick Aybar also went yard in the triumph, LAs fifth in six tries against Toronto dating back to last season. Jerome Williams (7-10) was reached for six runs on nine hits over five-plus innings for the Angels, who snapped a two-game losing skid. "He just didnt look like he was able to get his sinker where he wanted to and struggled through five innings," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of Williams. Toronto starter Mark Buehrle (11-8) got shelled, allowing the Angels eight runs and 12 hits in just four-plus innings. "The whole game I wasnt making pitches. Everything was up, I was falling behind in the count," Buehrle said. Robert Woods Jersey . Abreu hit his 20th homer and Adam Dunn added a three-run shot as Chicago beat San Francisco 7-6 on Wednesday, handing the Giants their fifth straight loss. Thurman Thomas Bills Jersey . 10 shirt. The Japan forward was presented on Wednesday as an AC Milan player after signing a 3 1/2-year contract on a free transfer from CSKA Moscow.BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley intend to leave no doubt this time. Nearly two years after Bradley beat the Filipino congressman in a hotly disputed split decision, the welterweights both seemed uncommonly confident Tuesday as they began promotional work for their April 12 rematch. Thats because each man is still unshakably certain he won their first meeting. "I want to maintain my name at the top and prove I can still fight," Pacquiao said. "My career is not done yet." The June 2012 decision was savaged by fans, media and even Bob Arum, both fighters promoter. They all believed Pacquiaos power and combinations had beaten Bradleys elusiveness and tactical approach. Bradley (31-0, 12 KOs) still feels wronged by the reactions to the biggest win of his life, ranging from catcalls on the street to death threats in the mail. "With all the controversy, this fight is about redemption," Bradley said. "I want to redeem what I didnt get, which is the credit. Its important for me to make the win decisive in the peoples eyes this time. Ive already got a win. This is so I can walk down the street and nobody says, Hey, you didnt win that fight, man. That hurts me." Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KOs) and trainer Freddie Roach both believe Pacquiao won essentially every round in the first bout. But the Pacman still wants to prove hes back on top of his game by avenging the loss that snapped his 15-fight winning streak. "Im not angry anymore," Pacquiao said. "I was surprised by the decision, but Im the kind of person that I respect the decision of the judges." But did Pacquiao agree that Bradley gave him "a boxing lesson," in the infamous words of judge Duane Ford? "I think I gave hhim a boxing lesson, and the judges gave him that," Pacquiao said with a smile. Aaron Williams Womens Jersey. Pacquiao and Bradley will meet again for the WBO 147-pound title at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas. Bradley is opening camp in his native Palm Springs area on Monday, while Pacquiao will train in the Philippines before moving back to Freddie Roachs Wild Card Gym in Hollywood in March. "To be honest, I wasnt as motivated when I was training for our first fight," Pacquiao said. "I guess I didnt take him seriously enough." The split decision was so reviled that the WBO hired five independent judges to re-score the bout on video, and all five favoured Pacquiao. The WBO didnt overturn the result, but asked for a rematch -- and after both fighters boosted their careers with victories last year, they were ready to do it again. Pacquiao was knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez a few months after the Bradley bout, and he took nearly a year off before returning to dominate Brandon Rios in Macau. Bradley watched both fights, but wasnt impressed. "He still has all the skill sets," Bradley said. "I just feel like that killer instinct is gone." Bradley turned himself into one of boxings biggest names in 2013 with a sensational brawl against Ruslan Provodnikov and a classy decision win over Marquez. Bradley acknowledges being a bit star-struck before he got in the ring with Pacquiao, but he was surprised how easily he could handle the man who was on top of the sport at the time. Bradley feels he won the first fight, but believes he can win the rematch clearly enough for everybody to see. "I know what to expect this time," Bradley said. "Its like when you learn to ride a bike. The second time is easier." cheap jerseys ' ' '
