ST. Cameron Wake Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Rays rode the momentum of a marathon victory to another big win. Desmond Jennings drove in four runs, Alex Cobb took a three-hit shutout into the ninth inning, and the Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-1 on Saturday in a matchup of exhausted teams to maintain their lead in the AL wild-card race. "Weve got to keep things going," Jennings said. "Theres no relaxing or anything like that. Keep finding ways to win games." The first pitch came 10 hours, 56 minutes after the Rays 5-4, 18-inning win over Baltimore that ended at 2:05 a.m., a game that stretched on for 6:54 -- a record time for both teams. Saturdays game, by comparison, seemed to breeze by in 2:51. "You cant put into words how appreciative you are when youre on the mound and these guys after an 18-inning game when youre in bed sleeping while theyre putting together a win, and they come out with the same intensity for you the next day," Cobb said. "Its amazing." Cobb, in a common practice, left the ballpark early Friday night and went to bed 2 1/2 hours before the game ended. Tampa Bay (85-69) and Cleveland (85-70) hold the two AL wild-card positions, with Texas (84-70) a half-game back. The New York Yankees (82-73) overtook Baltimore, which is tied with Kansas City at 81-73 and trails by 3 1/2 games. Cobb didnt allow a hit until Steve Clevenger lined a single to right with two outs in the fifth. The Orioles had only two hits over the final 11 innings on Friday. "I think it was more Cobb than anything," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. "Hes got command of that changeup, to both left and right-handed hitters. Hes impressive." Chris Davis tripled with one out in the ninth off Cobb, a fly ball David DeJesus struggled to locate in left. Adam Jones followed with an RBI single that chased Cobb, who struck out 12 and walked two. Closer Fernando Rodney completed the five-hitter. Miguel Gonzalez (10-8) gave up three runs, two hits and five walks in six innings. The right-hander had been 2-0 with an 0.92 ERA in his previous three starts at Tropicana Field. Tampa Bay went ahead in the fifth when Jose Molina and Yunel Escobar walked. One out later, Jennings hit his career-high 14th homer. Jennings added an RBI triple in the seventh and scored on Ben Zobrists single off Francisco Rodriguez. Eleven players who went the distance on Friday came back to start on Saturday: Baltimores Davis, Jones, Nick Markakis, Manny Machado, J.J. Hardy and Danny Valencia, and Tampa Bays Zobrist, Escobar, David DeJesus, Wil Myers and Evan Longoria. Baltimores Matt Wieters, who caught all 18 innings, was rested. "I was worried with the guys that went all the way, and they did fine," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. Showalter agreed. "Everybody was engaged and ready to play today," Showalter said. "No excuses." Someone jokingly wrote "Early hitting 7 a.m." on the message board in Tampa Bays clubhouse Saturday morning. NOTES: Baltimore recalled LHPs Mike Belfiore and Zach Britton from Triple-A Norfolk. ...

Elliot Daly has been handed an England full Test debut against South Africa because head coach Eddie Jones feels he currently has the edge in sharpness over Jonathan Joseph.Daly, who has won five caps as a replacement, has got the nod to start at outside centre for Saturdays autumn series opener against the Springboks at Twickenham.The Wasps centre will form a new midfield partnership alongside Owen Farrell that offers long-range left and right-footed kicking options.JJ has missed a little bit of training lately and I just feel that Elliot is a bit sharper at the moment, said Jones, when asked about his decision to select Daly ahead of Joseph, who drops to the bench.He (Daly) has got pace and power and a booming left foot which can be very useful, and he has done well in Tests when he has come off the bench. JJ is a great team player and he will be back.Daly was among the Aviva Premierships most dangerous players last season with his acceleration and eye for an outside break terrorising defences to Wasps benefit.While Joseph relies on elusive footwork and a burst of speed to beat defenders, Dalys skill lies in gliding through gaps and he also provides a long-range boot out of hand and from the kicking tee. Ndamukong Suh Dolphins Jersey. Injuries have given Northampton flanker Tom Wood a chance to end a year-long spell in the international wilderness that began after last autumns World Cup. Wood has been picked at seven ahead of Nathan Hughes, with Jones opting for his work-rate, line-out expertise and experience over the explosive potential of the Wasps back row.South Africa rugby is about big ball carriers and playing off the back of that, said Jones. Tom has got a big role in that area - to stop their ball runners. He has got a good workrate and he can stop them on the gainline.England captain Dylan Hartley said his Northampton team-mate had earned his recall. Tom has been out in the wilderness but he has got his head down and worked really hard and it has paid off. His work ethic is unbelievable.? Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
