In A-League history, there cant have been too many better 3-0 losers than Western Sydney Wanderers on Saturday night.Tony Popovics side were extremely hard done by to leave Etihad Stadium on the wrong end of the lopsided scoreline.The Wanderers bossed the match in the first half, and finished the match with more possession, shots and more time in the opposition half than the victors.Perhaps thats why Popovic spared his players the blowtorch after the match, instead focussing on the positives.To come to Melbourne and play the way we did in the first half, were delighted with that, Popovic said.I wouldnt say the second half was poor either. Our first 15 minutes were excellent.Even at 2-0 we had some fantastic opportunities to get it back to 2-1.Overall were disappointed. Were getting punished for mistakes which is clear. Our football is excellent.But we need to do better in our final third, the final pass and shot, to get rewarded for our good play.The man who drew Popovics ire was referee Jarred Gillett.Gillett decided against awarding a penalty to Western Sydney when Jason Geria crudely tackled Jumpei Kasakumi in the box.Replays showed the young full-back missed the ball and clattered the Japanese attacker.The Wanderers boss made pointed reference to the clubs record with Gillett in the middle - just one win in the last 11 games - suggesting maybe its just a coincidence.But he couldnt contain himself when discussing the incident - which Victory coach Kevin Muscat agreed was worthy of a spot kick.If thats not a penalty, they should book him for diving, Popovic said.It was a clear penalty. There will not be a clearer one this year in the A-League.Theyre game-changers (but) we have to move on. Theyll explain themselves and move on as well. Well do what we can do better and hopefully they will too.Popovic will wait to see if Brendon Santalab, who was substituted with calf tightness at half-time, can play in next Friday nights match with Melbourne City.Either way, he expects his players to carry themselves as if they were the winners against Victory.There wont be a dent in confidence and belief because of the result, he said.We know that in six weeks we will be a lot better. In 12 weeks it will be a lot better.To be playing the way we are after six rounds is fantastic. Stitched USA Soccer Jerseys .

Miller reached right to deflect Mikhail Grabovskis attempt with just over 2 minutes remaining in regulation, and then made two more saves in the shootout Sunday to give the Sabres a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals. OAKLAND, Calif. -- Raul Alcantara tried to be perfect and he was anything but in a forgettable major league debut for the promising prospect.He hit three batters and walked another in the first inning, surrendered a home run in the second and was done for the day after the third.Alcantara (0-1) quickly fell into a three-run hole and the Oakland Athletics late comeback attempt fell short in a 10-7 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Monday.I think it was because I was trying to make perfect pitches, Alcantara said.The 23-year-old right-hander also had a balk in the third that put Andrelton Simmons on third after a double before he scored on Nick Buss second sacrifice fly.It marked the first time in 86 years an As pitcher had three hit batsmen and a balk -- Howard Ehmke on April 27, 1930 -- not the kind of stat Alcantara wanted to start his big league career.Its his first big league start, and then you hit a guy and you hit another guy, you get spooked, As manager Bob Melvin said.

He retired pinch-hitter Chad Pinder on a fly ball before Jake Smolinskis single and a walk to Bruce Maxwell loaded the bases. But Marcus Semien flied out.Valdez (1-1) earned his first major league win before former As closer Andrew Bailey finished for the Angels in a second straight game. It was just his second save since 2013 with the Red Sox.We cracked the door for those guys with walks, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.Valencia hit a two-run homer in the first for the As, who were nearly no-hit a day earlier by Boston and didnt have their first baserunner until tthe sixth inning Saturday against Red Sox ace Rick Porcello.ddddddddddddJoey Wendle had his first career RBI on a single in the fourth, when Maxwell added a two-run double one out later.Smolinskis over-the-shoulder running catch in center on Kaleb Colwarts drive to end the first likely saved Alcantara at least two more runs.DOOLITTLES RETURNAs LHP Sean Doolittle received cheers when he took the mound in the seventh for his first appearance since June 25. The closer missed 59 games with a strained throwing shoulder, but he changed his walk-up music to Metallicas Disposable Heroes. For years, it had been the heavy metal bands Fight Fire with Fire.I was wondering how it was going to go over. I know some people are pretty attached to it, Doolittle said. I kept the same band from the same era, but it was a song I was listening to a lot while I was on the rehab assignment and I liked it, so I switched it.
