Ready for the All-Star break

UNDATED (AP) — There's a new leader in the American League West at the All-Star break.

The Los Angeles Angels were five games out of first before winning seven of their last nine, including Sunday's 10-3 rout of Seattle. Chris Iannetta hit a two-run home run and David Freese added a two-run double as part of a six-run sixth inning.

Andrew Heaney allowed five hits over seven shutout innings to pitch the Angels to their 11th victory in 14 games, a streak that began a few days before Jerry Dipoto stepped down as general manager.

The outcome puts the Halos a half-game ahead of the Houston Astros, who had led the division since April 19 before embarking on their current six-game losing streak. The skid continued with a 4-3 loss at Tampa Bay as Matt Moore got his first win since undergoing elbow surgery last April. Moore allowed three runs and five hits over five innings to get his first victory since Sept. 29, 2013 at Toronto.

Jose Altuve put the Astros up 3-2 with a two-run homer in the fourth, but the Rays scored twice in the sixth on a bases-loaded walk and an RBI grounder to complete a three-game sweep.

Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Pirates have put more pressure on St. Louis by beating the Cardinals in extra innings for the second straight night. Starling Marte, Francisco Cervelli and Gregory Polanco hit RBI singles in the bottom of the 10th to lift the Bucs past the Redbirds 6-5. The winning rally came after Randal Grichuk lined a two-run double in the top of the 10th.

The Pirates took three of four from the Cards in the series to pull within 2 ½ games of the NL Central leaders.

The victory makes Djokovic the first person to have won two Wimbledon championships in a row since Federer collected his fifth consecutive trophy in 2007. Djokovic has won three of the last five men's titles at the All-England Club, and nine Grand Slam titles overall.

GOLF-U.S. WOMEN'S OPEN

Chun ends up in first

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — South Korea's In Gee Chun is the first player to win her U.S. Open debut since Birdie Kim in 2005.

The 20-year-old Chun birdied four of her last seven holes for a one-stroke victory over third-round leader Amy Yang. Chun shot a 4-under 66 in the final round and finished at 8 under after entering Sunday with a three-stroke deficit.
