Astros complete sweep of Halos

UNDATED (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels have limped out of Houston after absorbing a three-game sweep by the Astros.

Jason Castro slammed a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to give the Astros a 3-0 victory over the Angels. Scott Kazmir scattered three hits in 7 2/3 innings, giving him a scoreless streak of 14 2/3 innings since joining Houston from Oakland last week. Luke Gregerson worked a perfect ninth to get the win as the AL West-leading Astros moved two games ahead of the Angels.

Los Angeles starter Matt Shoemaker matched zeroes with Kazmir for seven innings, allowing three hits while fanning seven.

MLB-TRADES

Jays get serious...Dodgers get Latos

UNDATED (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays have swung another major deal as the nonwaiver trade deadline approaches.

One day after landing All-Star Troy Tulowitzki, the Jays acquired All-Star lefty David Price from Detroit on Thursday for pitchers Daniel Norris, Matt Boyd and Jairo Labourt.

The 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner is 9-4 with a 2.53 ERA and 138 strikeouts in 146 innings. It's the second straight season Price has been dealt to a contender near the deadline.

In other trades on the day before the deadline:

— The Dodgers have grabbed pitching staff in a three-team, 13-player deal with the Marlins and Braves. The Dodgers picked up Mat Latos from Miami and Alex Wood, Jim Johnson and Luis Avilan from Atlanta. Los Angeles also acquired first baseman Michael Morse from Miami and injured pitcher Bronson Arroyo from the Braves. The Marlins received Jeff Brigham, Victor Araujo and Kevin Guzman, while Atlanta landed Cuban infielder Hector Olivera and pitchers Paco Rodriguez and Zack Bird.

— The Astros have retooled as they try to win the AL West, acquiring outfielder Carlos Gomez and pitcher Mike Fiers from Milwaukee for prospects Josh Hader, Adrian Houser, Brett Phillips and Domingo Santana. The 29-year-old Gomez is hitting .262 with eight homers and 43 RBIs in 74 games for the Brewers this season. He is making $8 million this season and $9 million in 2016, the final year of his contract.

— The Cardinals have found a replacement for injured outfielder Matt Holliday by acquiring Brandon Moss from the Indians for minor league pitcher Rob Kaminsky. Moss is hitting .217 with 15 homers, 17 doubles and 50 RBIs since being acquired by Cleveland in December 2014. Holliday is out again with the same right quadriceps injury that sidelined him for 31 games earlier this summer.

— A deal between the Phillies and Rangers involving Cole Hamels appears imminent. Two people familiar with the deal say the Phillies have agreed to trade the ace left-hander and reliever Jake Diekman to the Rangers for pitcher Matt Harrison and a package of prospects. Hamels tossed a no-hitter against the Cubs last Saturday at Wrigley Field, his last start for the Phils.

Brady case to be heard in New York...Bills shelve 3

UNDATED (AP) — Tom Brady's lawsuit against the NFL will be heard in New York instead of Minnesota, a victory for the league.

U.S. District Court Judge Richard Kyle ruled in Minnesota that he saw little reason for the case to be heard in his state, noting Brady plays in Massachusetts, NFL headquarters are based in New York and the union is in Washington.

Brady is trying to have his four-game suspension overturned after he was punished for his role in the use of underinflated footballs during the Patriots' lopsided win in the AFC title game earlier this year.
