ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Daniel Wright didnt think getting his first major league win would take quite as long as it did, but it was worth the wait.Jefry Marte homered and scored twice and Wright earned his first victory to help the Los Angeles Angels beat the Houston Astros 7-1 on Friday night.In Wrights ninth big league appearance and his seventh start, he limited the Astros to one run and six hits while striking out five.It took two teams and a few stints in the minor leagues this season before Wright was finally able to earn a win and breathe a sigh of relief.I dont think its really sunk in yet, Wright said. Its been a long time coming, its been since May since Ive been starting in the bigs. Its a weight off my shoulders and Ill go from here into the offseason.Wright (1-5), who was claimed off waivers from Cincinnati on Sept. 4, became the 24th pitcher to get a win for the Angels this season, setting an American League record. The Texas Rangers previously held the mark with 23 winning pitchers in 2014.Daniel has been on the verge of doing what he did tonight, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. He had good fastball command, definitely brought his secondary pitches into the game and I thought he was a little more aggressive tonight than when he pitched in Houston against these guys (last weekend).Mike Trout set a club record with his 114th walk of the season, breaking Tony Phillips previous Angels record set in 1995. Trout stole two bases, bringing his season total to 29.The Angels broke the game open with a four-run second inning. Brad Peacock (0-1) loaded the bases with no outs for Kaleb Cowart, who doubled to empty them. Kowart took third on the throw, allowing him to score while Ji-Man Choi was caught in a rundown two batters later.Marte led off the third inning with his 14th home run. The Angels scored twice in the fifth inning when Andrelton Simmons two-run single chased Peacock.I dont think he executed quite as well, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. His fastball command was a little off, his breaking ball was a little loose. They won a couple critical at-bats. There was a few walks in there, a few extra-base hits and hit night was over.Making just his fifth start this season, Peacock was charged with seven runs -- five earned -- and five hits in 4 2/3 innings. He walked four and struck out five.Unfortunately, it caps a September for him where he was pretty good where we needed him, Hinch said. Its going to leave a bad taste in his mouth at the end of the year.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: 3B Alex Bregman has been shut down for the remaining three games. Astros manager A.J. Hinch said the team decided not to risk further irritation of his recent hamstring injury.Angels: RHP Jered Weaver is questionable for his Sunday start, which could be his final with the Angels. Weaver left his last start with tightness in his back and Jhoulys Chacin will likely start in his place.UP NEXTAstros: RHP Collin McHugh will try to remain undefeated in the month of September when he starts the second game of the series. McHugh is 3-0 this month but his September win streak dates to 2014, as hes gone 11-0 over the last three seasons, the longest active streak of any its kind for any major league pitcher. In three starts against Los Angeles this season, McHugh is 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA.Angels: LHP Tyler Skaggs will make his first start since Sept. 9, when he was removed from the rotation with a mild flexor pronator strain in his pitching arm. Skaggs will face the Astros for the first time since June 5, 2014. Hes 3-3 with a 4.13 ERA in 10 starts since returning from Tommy John surgery this season. Cheap Authentic Air Max .

CHICAGO -- Cubs infielder Tommy La Stella has refused to report to Triple-A Iowa after being optioned to the minors nearly two weeks ago, and Chicago placed him on the temporary inactive list Tuesday.La Stella started at third base for the Cubs in last years wild-card victory over Pittsburgh. He was optioned to the minors on July 29 when Chicago activated outfielder Chris Coghlan off the disabled list.The left-handed hitting La Stella is batting .295 with a .388 on-base percentage in 105 at-bats with the Cubs and didnt take the demotion well.Hes a 27-year-old kid working through some stuff and were trying to give him time to work through those things, Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said. Weve had a lot of contact with him and well continue to do that.La Stella told ESPN.com in a phone interview that hes contemplating retirement and doesnt want to play for another team.Im a baseball player by profession, he said. My identity is not tied up in that.Manager Joe Maddon said hes communicated by text message with La Stella, who was back home in New Jersey working out.Hes not angry. Hes not upset, Maddon said. Hes just at that point where he doesnt know exactly what he wants to do. Thats it.La Stella will continue to get paaid while hes on the inactive list.ddddddddddddDepth has been a good problem for the major league-leading Cubs this season. La Stella was vulnerable to being sent down despite his impressive numbers because he still has minor league options.This guy can flat out hit, Hoyer said.Some Cubs players declined comment about La Stella, saying they didnt know enough about the situation. Others defended him.I dont know if anybody would say they saw that coming by any means, outfielder Jason Heyward said. But at the same time, somebody has got to be at peace with what theyre doing.Outfielder Matt Szczur said he was sure La Stella will eventually report to Iowa.Im really close to Tommy and weve been talking back and forth, Szczur said. Hes trying to get in a good place. I can only support him.Hoyer said La Stellas absence will make the Cubs look for left-handed hitting elsewhere. He said when La Stella returns, it wont be with the Cubs.Theres no doubt hes going to have to get at-bats and play in Triple-A before he can help the major league team, Hoyer said. Hes going to get at-bats in Iowa, for sure. ' ' '
