Big fourth inning lifts Rays past Angels
August 6 - Brandon Lowe hit a two-run home run and Jake Mangum had a two-run single to highlight a seven-run fourth inning that led the Tampa Bay Rays to a 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night in Anaheim, Calif. Ryan Pepiot (7-9) improved to 3-0 in three career starts against the Angels, snapping a five-start winless streak in the process. Pepiot, who began the game throwing four perfect innings, allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits over 5 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out six as the Rays won for just the second time in their last 13 road games. Jo Adell went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs for Los Angeles, which had a two-game win streak snapped. Jose Soriano (7-9) suffered the loss, allowing seven runs on seven hits over four innings. He walked one and struck out four. Soriano didn't allow a hit in the first three innings but gave up seven hits, including five straight to start the fourth inning, as Tampa Bay exploded for seven runs. Yandy Diaz opened the inning with an infield single on a high chopper over the mound and Lowe followed with his 20th homer, a 411-foot drive to dead center. It marked Lowe's fourth career season with at least 20 home runs. Junior Caminero then singled and went to third on a double by Josh Lowe. Mangum bounced a single to right to drive in Caminero and Lowe to make it 4-0. One out later, Hunter Feduccia lined a double down the left-field line, sending Mangum to third. Taylor Walls then drove in Mangum with a safety squeeze to increase the lead to 5-0, Chandler Simpson followed with an RBI double and Diaz drove in Walls with a fielder's choice to make it 7-0. Los Angeles cut the lead to 7-2 in the fifth on Adell's 23rd homer, a 410-foot drive into the left field bullpen, driving in Taylor Ward, who had reached on an error. Adell added an RBI single in the sixth to end the scoring. -Field Level Media

No plans to axe £15 parking fee for Ipswich Town home games
Football fans in Ipswich will have to continue paying a premium to park on matchdays, despite the club being relegated back to the Borough Council introduced a £15 fee at its long-stay car parks following Town's promotion to the Premier League last charge applied to motorists using the Portman Road, Princes Street and West End Road car parks in the three hours before kick-off and the one hour after the demotion of the Tractor Boys, the council told the BBC there were "no plans to change" the current rate. Jane Riley, the council's portfolio holder for culture and customers, said: "We believe the current rates are good value for money for drivers who wish to park right beside the stadium." Lower charges still apply in the car parks at other previously said that "premium tariffs are common at car parks close to other Premier League grounds", and that some were "charging up to £37 per day".But fans told the BBC they felt it was unfair for the council to continue charging £15 for parking when the club was no longer in the top flight. Kevin Cooper, 67, said: "I do feel it is unfair to take advantage of Town fans, because it costs enough to get in to the game anyway."I don't see why football fans should be charged more to park than everybody else."If they maintain that £15 price in the Championship and people are prepared to pay it, then I guess the temptation would be to put it up again." Emily Heasman was another who said retaining the price hike was unfair."If they want people to support the club then they should make it a reasonable price so people can afford to park," the 32-year-old told the BBC."The price of everything is going up these days, and it's almost as if they don't want people to come and enjoy it."Fifteen pounds is steep – I could spend that in the shop or to get a drink." Paul Oakshott, 59, said: "Even in the Premier League it was disgusting, but now we've come back to the Championship you would think they would let it go."I think it's just totally wrong, and it doesn't make sense. If we go up again, are they going to increase it even more?" Sue Russell, 45, told the BBC she would never consider using those car parks because of the price."Fifteen pounds is a lot of money, and it's a lot of money to support your team," she said."We live an hour's walk away, but we'd rather walk than pay £15."
