Minor premiers Sydney are a daunting prospect for Adelaide but at least the SCG holds no fears for the Crows when they take on the Swans in their sudden-death semi-final.John Longmires men are licking their wounds after an upset loss to Greater Western Sydney and will be desperate to atone for the uncharacteristic performance in front of their home fans on Saturday night.But Adelaide, who demolished North Melbourne in their elimination final, will be no pushovers having won four of their past five encounters against the Swans at the ground.I think we take confidence in the fact there is six teams left, no matter where the venue now, its game on, Crows forward Tom Lynch said.Every game for us in this finals series is an elimination final.I know the boys have pulled up pretty well and were eager to get over there and get a result.Adelaide escaped unscathed from their 62-point thumping of North, although defender Kyle Hartigan was reported for tripping Lindsay Thomas.Sydney are counting the cost of their 36-point loss, the club confirming on Sunday Kurt Tippett (jaw) and Callum Mills (hamstring) wont play this week.The Crows have advanced to the second week of the finals for the second year running.Eventual premiers Hawthorn handed them a humbling 74-point defeat in last seasons semi-final and Lynch said his team is keen to atone.We were in this position last year - we win our first final and we werent able to deliver in our second one, he said.The boys are really keen to change that.(But) we know its going to be a real fight.

HOUSTON -- Defensively speaking, the Los Angeles Angels showed up to play Sunday.The same could not be said of the offense.Starter Daniel Wright gave up two home runs, and the Angels bats fell flat in a 4-1 loss to the Houston Astros that ended a four-game winning streak.Defensively, we played a very good game; that was good to see, manager Mike Scioscia said. Offensively, we just couldnt get any momentum.The Angels could not figure out Astros starter Joe Musgrove, who lifted Houston in more ways than one.With his team in desperate need of a win to remain in playoff contention, Musgrove pitched seven strong innings to help snap a three-game slide.He had a tremendous game today at a time (when) we needed it, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said.Evan Gattis, Tony Kemp and Tyler White each homered for Houston, which remained three games behind Baltimore for the second AL wild-card spot.Wright (0-5) lasted six innings. He gave up three runs on seven hits.I left the changeup up to Kemp that he hit out, and then the fastball up to Gattis to lead off both those innings, Wright said.

There are a few guys in here that are handling it a little worse than the rest of us from having personal relationships wiith Jose.ddddddddddddThe energy was a little bit down, so I was hoping to go out there and pitch a strong seven.That he did.Musgrove (4-4) allowed one run on seven hits while striking out four.Closer Ken Giles rebounded from a blown save in Fridays 10-6 loss to Los Angeles. He walked one and struck out two in the ninth for his 14th save.I just wanted to go out there and put up a zero, Giles said. I needed to do that for the team and show them that I can bounce back.Carlos Correa singled home Jose Altuve in the Houston first.An inning later, Gattis homered off Wright, connecting for the 31st time this season.Kemp and White later added solo shots.MAYBE NEXT YEARFor Scioscia, its never too early to start thinking about next season.Ive been in this game a long time, and I just know that your quest for a championship doesnt stop if youre eliminated from the playoffs, Scioscia said. You are always working toward that championship, and for us it begins today.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: Before the game, Hinch said he was worried about Giles flexibility and ability to throw, a day after he injured his right wrist when he was hit by a line drive during batting practice. X-rays were negative.I think hes got a chance to be a little bit stiff, Hinch said after the game. Given that its a contusion, hell be all right.UP NEXTAngels: Jered Weaver (12-12, 5.20 ERA) will attempt to close out September on a winning note when Los Angeles hosts Oakland and LHP Sean Manaea (6-9, 4.03) on Monday.
