. Cruzs 31st home run in the sixth inning cut Los Angeles lead to 3-2.

CHICAGO -- The Kansas City Royals and Lorenzo Cain have agreed to wait a week before determining whether the outfielder will be shut down for the rest of the season because of his troublesome left wrist.Cain returned from a seven-game absence Friday, but said he could basically only swing one-handed and hasnt played since. He told Fox Sports Kansas City on Saturday he was likely finished for the season, while manager Ned Yost said the player was day to day.The two met in Yosts office before Sundays game against the White Sox and then Cain said he agreed to hold off on a decision. Yost said Cain will see a hand specialist this week in Kansas City.Like what Skip said, wait a week and see what happens, Cain said. Ive got to get back to KC. Ive been rehabbing and trying to get my hand stronger. We were working last night as well with the trainers, doing exercises and getting stronger.Cain said a stem-cell injection into his hand late last month didnt have the intended effect of strengthening the hand.It led to a little inflammation, he said. Its something that we all agreed upon that it would help, and we all know that it didnt work.The 2014 All-Star is hitting .287 in 103 games for the Royals, who entered Sunday four games behind Baltimore for the second AL wild-card spot with three weeks left in the regular season.I think if we can get it back to the point where I can just hold onto the bat when I swing, theres a chance (of returning), Cain said.The 2015 World Series champions have dealt with a number of injuries this season. Cain also missed most of July with a hamstring injury.Its never easy to lose one of your better players, and weve lost a few of them this year for extended periods of time, Yost said. You just move on and deal with it. China Shoes Sale .

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Albert Pujols has proved time and time again that he can come through when teams decide to pitch around Mike Trout.He did it again Thursday night.Pujols drove in two runs, Yunel Escobar had three hits and scored twice, and the Los Angeles Angels held off a late rally and beat the Mariners 6-4.After Trout was intentionally walked by reliever Nick Vincent in the eighth, Pujols delivered a two-run double to push the Angels lead to 5-2.In big situations, most of the time hes come through, Trout said. Its been fun to watch.The hit gave Pujols 95 RBI on the season, trailing only Torontos Edwin Encarnacion (100) for the AL lead.Trout went 0 for 2 with two walks and scored twice as the Angels earned a split of the four-game series with just their second win in 14 games.Fernando Salas gave up a two-run homer to Adam Lind in the ninth, but got Leonys Martin and Shawn OMalley on grounders to end the game.One night after his second five-hit game of the season, Escobar went 3 for 4 with a double.Matt Shoemaker (7-13) limited the Mariners to two earned runs -- on solo homers to Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz -- and five hits. He struck out five and walked two.Its a tough lineup for him with a lot of left-handed hitters who can drive the ball, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. He was pitching with his back against the wall most of the game until we broke it open so thats a good outing for Matt.The two walks were uncharacteristic for Shoemaker, who has made eight starts without issuing a walk this season, but felt that his only big mistake was the home run to Cruz.I was upset but you cant do anything about it and you have to move on, Shoemaker said. The next pitch to Cruz, I just needed to bear down and make a better pitch. It wasnt where I wanted, just a little up, which is going to happen sometimes.Hisashi Iwakuma (14-8) allowed three runs and six hits over seven innings, snapping a streak of three straight wins.

We need to get Vincent back.Jefry Martes pinch-hit single scored Simmons to make it 6-2.Cano homered for the 26th time in the first inning.
