Study details most popular study abroad locations

By MATTHEW SETZEKORN Staff Writer

Studying abroad is a once in a lifetime opportunity for many college students across the world. Not only do students get to take classes for their degree, but they build their resume, learn about different cultures and learn more about themselves in the process.

Deciding which program to take can be can be daunting for some, however some students find the task rather easy as they have known where they wanted to go for many years. Autumn Beaupre, a senior agricultural & applied economics major from Houston, is one of those students. Beaupre said she chose her study abroad destination based on what country she has always wanted to visit.

“I chose Australia mainly because it had always been a dream to go visit there and when I decided I wanted to study abroad, I figured when else am I going to have the opportunity to not only visit but live in a dream place like that,” Beaupre said. “I also have my language credits done so I didn’t want to have to go someone and learn a different language.”

GoEuro, a travel app that helps travelers plan excursions around Europe, conducted a survey among 5,785 students across 10 countries between September 2017 and January 2018.

The survey results for the students that were surveyed in the U.S. found that nearly 18 percent of students are studying abroad in Spain for 2018, according to an email about the survey’s results. 15.5 percent of students plan on studying in the United Kingdom and Sweden was the least popular.

For Tech students, the results are fairly similar, with a few small differ-

ences. According to a email from the Tech Study Abroad office, the TTU Center in Sevilla, Spain was the most popular destination for students to visit on their programs. Italy is the second most popular study abroad destination for Texas Tech students followed by Czech Republic, Japan, Belize, Ireland, France, Australia, England then South Korea.

The fact that Australia isn’t as popular as the countries in Europe doesn’t come as a surprise to her, Beaupre said, due to Tech’s lack of presence in the area.

“It doesn’t surprise me that Australia isn’t a popular destination because there isn’t a TTU campus or program there like there is in Sevilla or Costa Rica,” Beaupre said. “That means that the student has to study at a partner university or go through a third-party company and that involves more work and responsibility on the student’s side.”

Studying abroad can be a huge learning experience, Beaupre said, regardless of what country you decide to go to. As long as people go in to the country with an open mind and ready to learn and experience everything the country has to offer, the experience will be worthwhile.

“The best skills I think I got from studying abroad were being flexible and learning to adjust to a different culture, especially not knowing anyone there before I went. I also think I learned a lot about myself, who I wanted to be and what I was capable of doing on my own,” Beaupre said. “My favorite experiences though would have to be Scuba diving the great barrier reef, going on road trips with other international students, getting to meet people from all over the world and experiencing things I never would have imagined I would do.” @MattSetzekornDT

Tech ranked in top 10 percent for international students

Texas Tech was ranked in the top 10 percent of the Top Universities for International Students by U.S. News & World Report.

The ranking, which put Tech at a tie for No. 176, is based on several criteria each year. The most recent ranking included

three new criteria, including retention and graduation rates for international students, MISRA English as a second language program availability and the amount

ASSOCIATED PRESS

of grants available, according to a Tech news release.

U.S. News & World Report also looks at factors such as social and cultural support programs available at each college when completing the rankings for the Top Universities for International Students category, according

to the organization’s website.

This includes the number of international student organizations on campus and programs that support student in and out of the classroom.

Of the 1,800 schools ranked by U.S. News & World Report, eight other Texas universities and

seven Big 12 Conference schools made the top 10 percent, according to the release. The ranking was based on the 2016-17 academic year.

“Our ranking reflects the reality that we are an international-friendly campus,” Vice Provost for Internation-

al Affairs Sukant Misra said in the release. “We welcome our international students with open arms, we value their presence on our campus and we provide a myriad of services and resources for them to be successful academically and socially.” @McKenziMorrisDT

Trump tries to cast fresh doubt on Mueller’s ‘Witch Hunt’ 2 dead, 13 wounded in shooting attack in Toronto TORONTO (AP) — A man walking along a Toronto street fired a handgun into restaurants and cafes, killing two people and wounding 13 others before dying after an exchange of gunfire with police.

Police Chief Mark Saunders did not rule out terrorism as a motive in the attack Sunday night in Toronto’s lively Greektown neighborhood, though officials did not immediately identify the assailant other than to say he was 29 years old and from Toronto.

The mass shooting, just three months after the driver of a van plowed into pedestrians on a Toronto sidewalk, killing 10 people, shook the confidence of many in this normally safe city.

“It’s almost inconceivable that these things can happen,” said Mayor John Tory.

“We were so used to living in a city where these things didn’t happen and as we saw them going on in the world around us (we) thought they couldn’t happen here.”

“This is an attack against innocent families and our entire city.”

The dead included a 10-year-old girl and an 18-year-old woman, Saun-

ders told a news conference on Monday. The 13 wounded ranged in age from 10 to 59, and suffered injuries ranging from serious to minor, he said.

He did not name the victims.

Dr. Najma Ahmed of St. Michael’s Hospital said five patients had been admitted in serious or critical condition and that three of the five underwent immediate lifesaving operations.

A video taken by a witness showed a man dressed in black clothes and a black hat walking quickly and firing three shots from the sidewalk into at least one shop or restaurant in Toronto’s Greektown, a residential area crowded with Greek restaurants and cafes.

Witnesses heard many shots and described the suspect walking past restaurants and cafes and patios on both sides of the street and firing into them.

Ontario’s police watchdog said there was an exchange of gunfire between the assailant and two officers on a side street but the gunman was found dead near Danforth Avenue where the shootings occurred. It was not immediately clear whether he killed himself or was killed by police.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump tried to cast fresh doubt Monday on the federal investigation into Russian election interference in the 2016 presidential election, calling it a “fraud and a hoax designed to target Trump” and demanding an immediate end to the “Witch Hunt.”

Trump also said onetime campaign adviser Carter Page, the subject of government documents released over the weekend, wasn’t a spy or an agent of the Russians.

“Carter Page wasn’t a spy, wasn’t an agent of the Russians - he would have cooperated with the FBI. It was a

fraud and a hoax designed to target Trump,” the president tweeted, including a reference to Tom Fitton, president of the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch.

“A disgrace to America,” Trump’s tweet continued.

“They should drop the discredited Mueller Witch Hunt now!”

The president was responding to the Justice Department’s Saturday release of documents related to the wiretapping of Page. Trump has asserted without evidence that the documents, heavily redacted and released Saturday under the Freedom of Information Act, “confirm with little doubt” that intel-

ligence agencies misled a special court that approved the wiretap warrant.

But lawmakers from both political parties said that the documents don’t show wrongdoing and that they even appear to undermine some previous claims by top Republicans on the basis for obtaining a warrant against Page.

Visible portions of the documents show the FBI telling the court that Page “has been collaborating and conspiring with the Russian government.” The agency also told the court that “the FBI believes Page has been the subject of targeted recruitment by the

Russian government.”

Trump’s tweets landed as he continues to try to reassure the country that he accepts that longtime foe Russia interfered in the 2016 election, despite his public undermining of U.S. intelligence agencies in Helsinki while standing alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“So President Obama knew about Russia before the Election,” Trump tweeted late Sunday. “Why didn’t he do something about it? Why didn’t he tell our campaign?

Because it is all a big hoax, that’s why, and he thought Crooked Hillary was going to win!!!”

Duck boat that sank in deadly accident is raised from lake The duck boat that capsized and sank last week on a sightseeing cruise was raised from a Missouri lake Monday, more than three days after the accident that killed 17 people near the tourist town of Branson.

Footage from Springfield, Missouri, television station KYTV showed a crane attached to a barge pulling the duck boat from Table Rock Lake and another boat pushing the vessel toward shore.

The boat , which was submerged in 80 feet of water, went down Thursday evening after a sudden thunderstorm generated near-hurricane strength winds.

Divers attached a sling to the boat, then raised the vessel. Once it was brought to the surface, it was drained,

Coast Guard Capt. Scott Stoermer told reporters.

The vessel will be loaded onto a vehicle and transported to a facility where the National Transportation Safety Board will take custody of it, Stoermer said.

Nine of the people who died belonged to one Indiana family . Others killed came from Missouri, Arkansas and Illinois. Seven survivors were taken to a Branson hospital, where the last patient was discharged Sunday.

Mandi Keller, who was not aboard the vessel, told The Kansas City Star that the survival of her 15-yearold daughter, Gillian Collins, and eight other relatives was a “complete miracle.” They were the only family aboard

in which no one died.

Missouri State Highway Patrol chaplain Steve Martin said the family’s survival was “remarkable” and that there is no explanation for it. He said the relatives, who found safety in different ways, were suffering from survivors’ guilt.

Divers have recovered a video-recording device that was aboard the boat, although it’s unclear whether it was working when the boat capsized or whether any data can be retrieved, including audio. The recorder was headed to the NTSB lab in Washington, D.C. Steve Paul, owner of the Test Drive Technologies inspection service in the St. Louis area, said he issued a written report in August 2017 for Ripley Entertainment, which owns

Ride the Ducks in Branson, after inspecting two dozen boats.

In the report, he explained why the vessels’ engines — and pumps that remove water from their hulls — might fail in inclement weather.

Paul said he would not know if the boat that sank is one that he inspected until it has been recovered from the lake.

Ripley Entertainment, which owns the duck boat business in Branson, has not responded to questions about Paul’s concerns.

The company’s website said it was offering to pay for all medical and funeral expenses for victims, to return all personal items from the accident scene and to help with families’ travel or accommodations.

White House blames Iran for war of words with Pres. Trump WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Monday blamed Iranian President Hassan Rouhani for inciting a war of words with President Donald Trump, who warned that verbal threats could escalate into military conflict with the U.S. Trump, who campaigned on a promise to bring a more hawkish approach to Iran, sent an all-caps tweet late Sunday warning of dire consequences for the longtime foe.

“NEVER EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKE OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY

HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE,” he wrote.

Trump was responding to Rouhani, who had remarked earlier in the day that “America must understand well that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace and war with Iran is the mother of all wars.”

Within hours, Iran’s stateowned news agency IRNA dismissed the tweet, describing it as a “passive reaction” to Rouhani’s remarks.

On Monday, the White House said Trump’s tweet shows he is not going to tolerate critical rhetoric from Iran and insisted the U.S. leader isn’t escalating tensions between the two countries.

“If anybody’s inciting anything, look no further than to Iran,” press secretary Sarah Sanders said and added that Trump has been “very clear about what he’s not going to allow to take place.”

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders declines to say whether Trump had consulted with national security aides, but said “The president consults with his national security team on a daily basis.”

Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, echoed Trump’s rhetoric in a statement Monday saying he’s spoken with Trump over the last several days and, “Presi-

dent Trump told me that if Iran does anything at all to the negative, they will pay a price like few countries have ever paid before.”

In Tehran, a headline on a local newspaper quoted Rouhani as saying: “Mr. Trump, do not play with the lion’s tail.”

Prominent Iranian analyst Seed Leilaz downplayed the war of words, saying he thinks it was “the storm before the calm.”

Leilaz told The Associated Press he was not “worried about the remarks and tweets,” and that “neither Iran, nor any other country is interested in escalating tensions in the region.”

Schedule announced for 2018 cross country season Texas Tech coach Jon Murray recently announced the 2018 fall schedule for cross country which is headlined by one home meet.

Tech’s four meet fall slate will kick off on Sept. 1, at the Abilene Christian Invitational at Abilene Christian, with the following meet being the annual TTU Open on Sept. 14, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

“The team really does enjoy being at home. They just love being here and running in Lubbock and having their friends and family come out and watch them,” Murray said in the release. “It’s always a very positive experience and they run well. You get to sleep in your own bed and come out and race.”

The final two meets of the season will be the Nuttycombe Invitational hosted

by Wisconsin on Sept. 28, followed by Texas A&M’s Arturo Barrios Invitational on Oct. 13, according to the release.

Following the conclusion of the regular season, Tech will compete in the Big 12 Championships on Oct. 26, at Iowa State.

“Both of the courses in Madison and College Station are similar to what we will see at Iowa State for the conference meet,” Murray said in the release. “That’s kind of what we were looking for when we put that part of the schedule together. We wanted some similar races to get ready to do well at the Big 12 meet.”

Last season the Red Raiders tallied a fifth place finish at the Big 12 Championships, and several members are returning from last year’s team. Senior Joacim Zuniga, redshirt sophomore Stephen Alvarez, junior Nathan Gift and redshirt senior Miguel Bautista are all expected to be strong contributors to this season’s team, each having competed well for Tech in the past.

“I’m excited,” Murray said

in the release. “The majority of the core of the men’s team is back. Having Miguel back after a redshirt year will make him better and it’ll be tremendous from a leadership standpoint. Cornelius is adding more to the depth, too. They’re going to take the spots of the people that left.”

For the women’s team, an eighth place finish at the Big 12 Championships ended last season for the Red Raider. With a plethora of newcomers and a returning leader in senior Nokuthula Dlamini, who had a 16th place finish at the meet, Tech will look to improve this season.

“We have eight new incoming athletes, so it’ll be a bit of a new group there,” Murray said in the release.

“But we’ll have Nokuthula up front and two or three people around her who are going to make it exciting. Both teams are going to be better than last year.” @AustinWattsDT

Johnny Manziel traded from Hamilton to Montreal

MONTREAL (AP) — Johnny Manziel is headed to the Montreal Alouettes in a reunion with the coach who recruited him to Texas A&M. The Canadian Football League team acquired the former Heisman Trophy from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in a blockbuster trade Sunday.

“I look forward to reuniting

with Johnny again and working with him,” first-year Montreal coach Mike Sherman, the former Green Bay coach and GM who lured Manziel to College Station, told the Montreal Gazette.

Montreal also got offensive linemen Tony Washington and Landon Rice from the TigerCats for defensive end Jamaal

Westerman, wide receiver Chris Williams and first-round draft picks in 2020 and 2021.

The Alouettes made the move a day after starting quarterback Drew Willy sustained his second injury of the season. Montreal backup Jeff Mathews also is out with a foot injury, leaving thirdstringer Matt Shiltz to play the final three quarters Saturday

night in a 25-8 loss at Calgary.

“We have acquired an exceptional quarterback with undeniable talent,” Alouettes general manager Kavis Reed said in a statement in a team release. “With his great mobility, his athletic abilities and his instinct we believe that he will have a positive impact on our offence. Landon

Rice and Tony Washington are two skilled players that will considerably solidify our offensive line.”

Making a comeback after being released by the Cleveland Browns in March 2016, Manziel was unable to get on the field in Hamilton behind starter Jeremiah Masoli. In two preseason

games, the former Texas &M star was 21 of 32 for 168 yards and a touchdown.

“Professional salute & respect for @Ticats @ticatmitchell &Coach Jones for doing the rgt thing. Thank y’all for the opp &great luck in future!” Manziel’s agent, Erik Burkhardt, tweeted Sunday night.

All pets must be on a leash or in a carrier. Donations will be accepted and taken to a local no-kill shelther.

Redding to retire, join team as student assistant

By AUSTIN WATTS Managing Editor

After several knee injuries and lingering health concerns, Texas Tech volleyball senior Sarah Redding has medically retired from the team. She will return as a student assistant coach for the upcoming 2018 season.

“There was nothing easy about this decision,” Redding said in a Tech Athletics news release. “It helped that I’m surrounded by my loving family and incredible coaches and trainers that fully support my decision. I have been playing in pain for two years and last year was especially brutal. I am glad I chose to gut it out through the postseason, but I knew

our last game would be my last game ever.”

Over the last two seasons, Redding missed a combined 19 games but remained a starter on the team when healthy. Redding was a consistent threat on the court, finishing her freshman and junior seasons top five on the team in kills.

“It’s very hard to give up your identity as an athlete.

It’s all I’ve ever known, and I will miss competing and being a part of the team,” Redding said in the release.

“With that said, I would not trade my collegiate volleyball experience for anything in the world, and I am so grateful to the people of Texas Tech. I look forward to my new role on the staff as I continue my education and

pursue nursing school.”

Despite battling injuries in her junior season, Redding helped the Red Raiders finish last season with a 19-15 overall record, their best since 2000, and the team’s first postseason appearance since 2001, according to the release.

Redding started 30 matches last season for the Red Raiders, with only four missed starts over the year, according to the release.

Her 226 kills were fourthmost on the team.

“This has been a very difficult decision for Sarah, and we are all disappointed that her knee hasn’t responded and she won’t be able to continue playing,” Tech coach Tony Graystone said in the release. “I am so appreciative of Sarah’s

toughness and willingness to give us her best effort every single day, in spite of her injury. The good news is that Sarah will remain with the team this fall as a student assistant coach.

Sarah has been so vital to helping us rebuild Red Raider Volleyball, and it was important for us to find a way for her to be with us during her senior year. We are definitely going to take full advantage of Sarah in this role and I’m looking forward to seeing her continue to make a positive impact on the team.”

Harper homers, Nationals outlast Braves Velasquez helps Phillies split doubleheader WA S H I N G T O N ( A P ) — Bryce Harper and the Washington Nationals closed out a rainy weekend at home on a high note.

Harper homered, Max Scherzer struck out seven in six innings and the Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves 6-2 on Sunday in a game hampered by a pair of long weather delays.

Anthony Rendon also had two hits and drove in two runs for Washington, extending his hitting streak to 10 games and helping the Nationals earn a split of the series after Saturday’s game was rained out. Adam Eaton and Juan Soto each had three hits. “ I t ’s p a r t o f i t . We play outdoors,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said of the rain. “But the boys hung in there. They were all pretty loose in the clubhouse, honestly.

Watching Shark Week. So, it was good.”

The start of the game was delayed 1 hour, 55 minutes by rain, and another downpour stopped play for almost 100 minutes between the sixth and seventh innings.

Two days after a heated exchange with teammate

Stephen Strasburg during Friday’s 8-5 loss, Scherzer (13-5) allowed two runs and eight hits in his third straight win. The threet i m e C y Yo u n g Aw a r d winner has pitched six or more innings in his last 19 starts, though the Braves made him work for it.

“A division team, they know everything I got,” Scherzer said. “They absolutely grind apart every at-bat. It’s really hard to put them away. Our defense played outstanding today.”

Speaking with reporters for the first time since Friday’s dugout disagreement with Strasburg, Scherzer shed no new light on the exchange, saying only: “Look, it was miscommunication, settled it. It’s over. End of story.”

Kelvin Herrera got five outs for his first save with Washington.

Atlanta’s Mike Foltynewicz (7-6), an AllStar who spent much of this week in Washington, gave up four runs and nine hits over 5 2/3 innings.

“Just waiting around this long, it’s kind of irritating,” he said of Sunday’s delays.

“I’m ready to get out of D.C. It’s been a while here.”

Harper singled in Eaton to give Washington a 4-2 lead in the sixth. Matt Adams added another RBI single in the seventh, and Harper hit a solo drive in the eighth for his 24th homer.

Scherzer was staked to an early 3-0 lead and then got some help from his defense.

Atlanta rookie Ronald Acuna Jr. led off the third with a drive off the wall in center, but he was thrown out by Harper while trying for a double. With a runner on first in the fifth, Freddie Freeman’s blast to right was chased down by Eaton on the warning track.

Then in the seventh, Michael A. Taylor made a leaping catch at the wall in center to rob Dansby Swanson of extra bases with one runner on.

Washington got off to a fast start with three runs in the first. Rendon drove in Eaton and Harper with a triple down the right-field line, and then scored on Soto’s groundout.

Swanson drove in A t l a n t a ’s r u n s w i t h a groundout in the second and a single in the fourth, but the Braves couldn’t land any big blows on Scherzer.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Vince Velasquez has found the right tempo to his delivery. And it couldn’t come at a better time for the Philadelphia Phillies.

Velasquez allowed two hits over seven innings as the Phillies beat the San Diego Padres 5-0 Sunday night to earn a split in their doubleheader.

In the opener, Freddy Galvis had his second straight three-hit game back in Philadelphia and Tyson Ross ended a seven-start winless streak in the Padres’ 10-2 victory.

Philadelphia widened its NL East lead to one game over second-place Atlanta.

Velasquez (6-8) struck out seven and walked one, pitching no-hit ball until A.J. Ellis singled off the left-field wall starting the sixth. In his only previous start against the Padres, he struck out 16 and walked none in a threehit shutout on April 14, 2016.

Once a pitcher who had trouble with high pitch counts that frequently eclipsed 100 pitches in five innings or fewer, Velasquez threw 87 pitches in seven innings against the Padres.

He worked the ball in and

out while keeping the game moving along, going at least six innings for the fifth time in his last six starts. The lone exception game on June 30 when he was forced to leave a game after being hit on the right forearm with a line drive after the second inning.

“I think that’s been what has been the big turnaround for me,” Velasquez said.

“Finding that tempo and pretty much driving through the game and having the ability to go long distances in the game. I’m pretty much starting the game and controlling it.”

Odubel Herrera hit a solo homer in the fourth against Luis Perdomo (15). After a pair of batters reached against Perdomo in the seventh, Carlos Santana hit a bloop run-scoring single against Phil Maton and Rhys Hoskins added his second homer of the day and 16th this season, a three-run drive. Coming into Sunday, Hoskins had not homered since June 29.

Nick Williams had three hits in the nightcap.

Galvis was 6 for 11 with four RBIs in the series. He spent six seasons with the Phillies before he was dealt

Angel’s Mike Trout drives in teammate for 1st time in month ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Mike Trout may have finally broken out of his slump.

The two-time American League MVP drove in a teammate for the first time in more than a month, homering to cap a seven-run burst in seventh inning for the Angels in a 14-5 rout of the Houston Astros on Sunday.

“It was nice just to see some guys put some really good swings on balls and get some good momentum, some good vibes going. But it’s only for today. We got to be able to carry that over moving forward and we got to do it a lot more often,” said Andrew Heaney (6-6), who won his

fourth consecutive home start.

With their superstar leading the way, the Angels set a season high for runs and stopped a three-game losing streak.

Trout hit his 26th home run, a drive off Chris Devenski that followed Andrelton Simmons’ single.

Trout’s only RBIs since June 19 had been solo homers off Baltimore’s David Hess on June 29 and against the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Ross Stripling on July 7.

Trout singled in the first ending streaks of 16 plate appearances and 11 at-bats without a hit.

David Fletcher had a

two-run single in the big inning, Kole Calhoun greeted Devenski with a three-run homer and Ian Kinsler hit a solo homer in the eighth off J.D. Davis, an outfielder and corner infielder. A pitcher at Cal State-Fullerton, Davis had two mound appearances for the Astros in lopsided losses last year.

Houston had not allowed double-digit runs since a 1312, 10-inning win over the Dodgers in Game 5 of the World Series and gave up its most runs since a 14-6 defeat at Detroit on July 29, 2016.

Lance McCullers Jr. (10-5) gave up five runs, six hits and five walks in 4 1/3 innings.

to San Diego in December for right-hander Enyel De Los Santos.

Galvis had a two-run single in a three-run first inning in the opener. Ross (6-8) allowed two runs and five hits in five innings.

“It was a grind early on,” Ross said after Game 1. “I had to make some adjustments and I settled in. But the offense did a good job of putting up runs early.

After that, I just felt like I had to protect the lead.”

Ross had been 0-5 in seven starts since beating Cincinnati on June 3, losing his previous three outings.

“He was searching for himself early, which was common for guys coming right out of the break with the longer layoff than usual,” San Diego manager Andy Green said. “As the game went on, I thought he looked like vintage Tyson and had his command get better and better.”

Travis Jankowski and Wil Myers each had two RBIs for the Padres, who outhit Philadelphia 15-6 and stopped the Phillies’ five-game home winning streak. Hunter Renfroe had three hits.

He became the first Astros pitcher to walk five or more in consecutive starts since Erik Bedard in July 2013.

“From the onset I think Lance was battling himself a little bit,” Astros manager AJ Hinch said. “Didn’t quite put the finish put-away curve balls like he normally does, but you’re not going to have a game like this and not have everybody have a little bit of a bad day.”

Davis put the Astros ahead with an RBI single in the second, but Kinsler hit an RBI double in the bottom half that scored Shohei Ohtani and then came home on Luis Valbuena’s single.

It was Valbuena’s second hit and first RBI since July 4, setting the tone to end a four-game home losing streak to the division leaders.

But the Angels recognize that a one-off performance, no matter how eye-popping, does them no good at this point in the season. Los Angeles got back to .500 in its 100th game, trailing Seattle by 10 for the second wild card spot and 15 back of Houston.

“We got to be able to carry that over moving forward and we got to do it a lot more often,” said Heaney, who allowed one run, four hits and two walks in six innings.

“It’s time to get going. We’re not in any position to be able to sit back and look at this one fondly. We got to do it day in and day out.”

LEFT OUT Catcher Jose Briceno was the only Angels batter who failed to record a hit, going 0 for 4. The rest of the lineup was 15 for 32.
