Definitely slow to the plate.Manager Mike Scioscia said catcher Geovany Soto had little opportunity to throw out any of the runners.Geo didnt have much of a chance tonight, Scioscia said.

We were intelligent.Brandon Guyer, who had five RBI, homered in the second and had two-run singles in the fifth and eighth. Ramirez was 3 for 5 with a home run -- extending his hitting streak to 16 games -- and Kipnis was 4 for 5 for the AL Central leaders.Carlos Carrasco (8-6) allowed three runs in seven innings and won for the first time since July 20.THE PLANRight-hander Tim Lincecum, who was designated for assignment Aug. 5, will pitch for Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
