MILWAUKEE -- Playing with a lineup depleted by injuries, St. Rob Gronkowski Youth Jersey . Louis manager Mike Matheny enjoyed the Cardinals powerful finish.Jhonny Peralta, Tommy Pham and Aledmys Diaz homered, helping Carlos Martinez and the Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-1 on Saturday.Peralta hit a leadoff drive in the second off Chase Anderson (4-10). Pham connected for a solo shot and Diaz belted a three-run homer during the Cardinals five-run ninth.It was nice to get a little extra help there at the end, Matheny said. We were just trying to see if we could outlast them.Martinez (8-6) struck out a season-high 11 in five innings in his first win since June 11. The right-hander allowed one run and four hits with four walks.Carlos had electric stuff, Matheny said. He was just throwing bullets up there but he was working deep counts on almost every batter. But then he decided to get a little more efficient and you were seeing first-pitch outs.Martinez, speaking through a translator, said he was disappointed he wasnt able to go deeper into the game.But I tried to stay focused, especially with my slider, Martinez said.Anderson struggled with his command and lasted just four innings. He walked five and allowed two runs and four hits.Kirk Nieuwenhuis hit an RBI single in the third for Milwaukees only run. The Brewers stole three bases in the inning, including a pair by Jonathan Villar, but left the bases loaded.Tyler Lyons relieved Martinez and pitched 2 1/3 hitless innings. Matt Bowman got two outs and Seth Maness finished the four-hitter.Stephen Piscotty had two hits and scored two runs for St. Louis, and Jedd Gyorko singled in Yadier Molina in the eighth.BEE DELAYThe start of the game was delayed nearly 10 minutes while Milwaukees grounds crew attempted to control a swarm of bees that gathered in the corner of the right-field fence.Piscotty was the right fielder for the Cardinals, and Matheny said he asked him if he was allergic.Then youve got a major issue, Matheny said. Thats deathly. I wouldnt have started the game until they figured it out. But he was all right with it, so the show goes on.AFTER FURTHER REVIEWAn apparent inning-ending double play turned by the Brewers in the third was overturned after a review, which showed second baseman Scooter Gennett did not get his foot on the bag at second.When play resumed, Molina drew a walk before Anderson struck out Gyorko. Anderson had to throw 11 additional pitches as a result of the ruling.FLASHING LEATHERWith the bases loaded and two outs in the third, Cardinals second baseman Greg Garcia made a diving stop of a hard ground ball by Milwaukees Ramon Flores. Garcia got to his feet and fired a throw to first that Gyorko dove to catch while keeping his foot on the base, ending the inning.It was a better play by Jed. That was such a bad throw, Garcia said. For him to stay on the bag like that, for a guy that doesnt play a lot of first base, that was an incredible play by him.ONE TO REMEMBERAlberto Rosario drove in the Cardinals final run with a single in his first career at-bat. The 29-year-old catcher has played 11 years in the minors.Its taken me a little bit longer than others but Ive worked so hard for this moment, Rosario said through a translator. Ive been through some hard moments and it has been a long time coming.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: OF Matt Holliday, who sprained his left ankle rounding first base on Friday, was a late scratch. Holliday was initially slated to play left field and bat third. He was replaced by Pham. ... Peralta, who pinch-hit on Friday but had been out of the starting lineup for three games with a left thumb injury, started at third base. ... Reliever Trevor Rosenthal, who left Fridays game with what was described as left hamstring cramps, got an MRI. Its going to be day to day with no DL, it looks like, Matheny said.UP NEXTCardinals: Mike Leake (5-7, 4.33 ERA) gets the ball in the series finale on Sunday. He is 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA in two starts against the Brewers this season.Brewers: Junior Guerra (6-1, 2.93 ERA) has won his last three starts, posting a 0.81 ERA. He has pitched 15 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings. In his only start against the Cardinals this season, Guerra gave up four runs and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings. Rob Gronkowski Super Bowl Jersey .

BOULDER, Colo. -- Colorado coach Tad Boyle believes his team is breaking new ground. And he couldnt be more disgusted by it.Josh Fortune shook off a miserable offensive slump with a season-high 15 points, and the Buffaloes withstood a 29-point second half from Rob Davis in an 81-71 win over Division II Fort Hays State on Saturday afternoon.Fortune, who was 0 for 13 from the field in his previous two games, went 5 for 9 from the field.Deleon Brown added a career-high 15 points and Xavier Johnson also had 15 for the Buffaloes, who shot 43 percent from the field, including 46 percent in the first half.It felt anything but victorious. Colorados seventh-year coach began his postgame press conference with an apology to the fans who braved frigid temperatures to show up on Saturday.This team has two things going for it right now, Boyle said. Number one, they own the most-disappointing loss in that seven-year span, the Colorado State game a few weeks ago. And now they also can add to that, that they own the most-disappointing win.After the Buffs held Davis scoreless at the break, the senior went off in the second half. Averaging 24 points per game, Davis was a season-best 7 for 10 from 3-point range.Davis sharpshooting allowed the Tigers to mount a rally, using a 17-4 run to climb within 47-39 on a layup by Hadley Gillum with 14:46 remaining. Davis had 11 points during the burst going 0 for 4 from the field in the first half.Theres no feeling, Davis said of his stroke. Im just numb. No conscious, just keep shooting.Davis then swished a jumper for his 29th point of the half to cut the deficit to 76-67 with 2:55 remaining. It was the most points in half by any player at the Coors Events Center, according to Colorado.The Buffs got a few timely free throws and rebounds down the stretch to improve to 8-3.I didnt want that first half to be what people in Colorado have their thoughts about him, Fort Hays State coach Mark Johnson said. He was the best player on the floor.A meeeting against a Division II opponent wont count against the Buffaloes RPI as they improved to 6-1 at home. Martellus Bennett Youth Jersey. The loss also wont do damage to the Tigers, who played the game as an exhibition.The Buffs led by as many as 21.This was a bad win, if you will, Colorado junior George King said before taking a pause. I mean, I wouldnt say a bad win, I dont know how to put it.It was an eye opener for us, for sure.BIG PICTUREFort Hays State: In the first half, the Tigers played exactly like you might expect from a D II school going against a Power Five Conference team. They started 1 for 15 from the field but rallied to finish 26 of 65. . Davis didnt score his first points until he swished a 3-pointer with 17:25 remaining.Colorado: After another up-and-down performance, the Buffaloes are working to find consistency through 11 games. They beat Texas and Xavier to nab consecutive wins over ranked teams for the first time since 2013, but have also lost to in-state rival Colorado State and BYU.LACK OF EFFORT?Against a severely undersized opponent, Colorado had only a slight rebounding edge, 40-36.Its just a willingness to compete and who wants it more, King said. I dont know, man.GOOD FORTUNEFortune hit a 3 with 6:52 in the first half to end the nasty slump, then stole a pass and turned it into a dunk 52 seconds later.It was just a matter of seeing the ball go down, Fortune said, getting that confidence from seeing it go down.QUOTABLEWe have to dictate defensively, Boyle said. If we cant dictate against Fort Hays I dont know how the hell were going to dictate against Utah, or Arizona State, or Arizona, or anybody in the Pac-12.UP NEXTFort Hays State: After a two-week break, the Tigers will host Kansas Christian on Dec. 31.Colorado: The Buffs are at Air Force Monday before they finish nonconference play against Eastern Washington Thursday. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ChinaNFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
