ST. Ivan Lucic Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay bullpen came up big to help the Rays avoid a three-game sweep.Five relievers allowed one run over 5 1/3 innings, Corey Dickerson had a go-ahead RBI double in the seventh inning and the Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-6 on Wednesday.Everybody did their part on that end, Rays manager Kevin Cash said.Brad Boxberger (3-0) pitched a scoreless seventh for the win and Alex Colome got three outs for his 31st save in 33 chances.Boxberger is a guy thats been hurt some. Hes closed for them, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. Hes capable, real good. The guy at the end (Colome) very quietly is one of the better closers in baseball. Just hasnt had as many opportunities.Tampa Bays bullpen has a 3.16 ERA since the All-Star break, down from 4.79 in the first half.Baltimores Dylan Bundy and Tampa Bays Drew Smyly each allowed five runs and seven hits in 3 2/3 innings.Kevin Kiermaier and Nick Franklin homered for the Rays, who are 4-11 this season against Baltimore.Dickerson, in a 2 for 28 slide, tied the score 6-all with an RBI single in the fifth and got the decisive hit during the seventh off Mychal Givens (8-2).Kiermaier hit a solo shot in the first and then pulled the Rays even at 5 with a two-run single in fourth. He has a career-best 11-game hitting streak.He sets the tone quite a bit, Cash said. The home run, obviously, but what KK does on the field really energizes our dugout. But the most impressive thing KK did in my opinion was the at-bat (in the fourth) where he went the other way to pick up two runs.J.J. Hardy drove in two on a second-inning double and Michael Bourn hit a solo homer during a three-run third that put Baltimore ahead 5-3.TRAINERS ROOMOrioles: 1B Chris Davis (sore left hand) got the day off.Rays: RHP Chase Whitley (Tommy John surgery) threw off a bullpen mound, which lines him up to make his first appearance this weekend.COACHING CORNERRays: New hitting coach Chad Mottola will join the team in New York for Thursday nights game at Yankee Stadium.

Clippards deal Monday means all eight Nationals players who filed for arbitration wound up settling before a hearing. Sebastian Rode Jersey . He just needed to be his best twisting, turning acrobatic self. "I didnt need to be anybody else, I just needed to be myself and be aggressive," said Burks, who scored a career-high 34 points to spark the Utah Jazz to a 118-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. http://www.bayernmunichfcproshop.com/kids-robert-lewandowski-bayern-munich-jersey/ . Siddikur, whose previous win on the circuit came in Brunei three years ago, finished his bogey-free round with a birdie on the 18th for a total of 17-under 199. Indias Shiv Chowrasia, who has finished runner-up in this tournament twice, was in second place after a 66. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Alex Smith was held to less than 200 yards passing with an interception, Spencer Ware was plugged up on the ground and the rest of the offense was rendered entirely ineffective.Kansas City still managed to beat the reigning NFC champions on the road.In what is quickly becoming a charmed season for the Chiefs, coach Andy Reid and Co. kept right on rolling with a 20-17 victory at Carolina on Sunday. Kansas City leaned on its defense to climb out of 17-point hole and win its fifth straight, second only to Dallas for longest streak in the NFL.The guys didnt panic. Thats the most important thing, Reid said Monday. You saw at halftime, the things being said in the locker room with our guys -- it wasnt, `Oh, you have to do this. It was, `Hey, were this close. We have to keep pushing. And they pushed and pushed and pushed.The victory, secured by Cairo Santos with a game-winning field goal, moved the Chiefs (7-2) into a tie with the Oakland Raiders for first place in the AFC West, a half-game ahead of the Denver Broncos. And the Chiefs hold the tiebreaker over Oakland by virtue of their lopsided road win in Week 6.Everything points to their momentum continuing, too. They face Tampa Bay this Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium, where they have yet to lose this season, before a high-profile showdown in Denver.Thats not to say the Chiefs are not without their warts.Smith played arguably his worst game since arriving in Kansas City, one week after being inactive with a head injury. Not only was he held to just 178 yards passing by a weak Carolina secondary, he twice missed open targets in the end zone that could have made things a bit more comfortable.The Chiefs were also 2 of 12 on third down, continuing a two-week trend in the wrong direction, and came up empty on three trips to the red zone -- a recipe that usually results in defeat.A couple weeks ago we were right there, doing our thing, doing good on third down, doing good in the red zone, Reid said. We have to take care of that first. I have to make sure Im gettiing guys in the right position to do good things. Juan Bernat Jersey. And we have to cut it down -- weve had a lot of third and a gazillion.Then red zone, likewise, we have to stay aggressive in the red zone, Reid said, but theres a time and place to check it down and run it.Its easier to reflect on those shortcomings when they come in victory. The Chiefs can thank their defense for that.The Panthers led 17-3 in the fourth quarter, and still had a 17-6 lead with the ball and about 10 minutes left in the game. But everything turned when safety Eric Berry stepped in front of a pass from Cam Newton, then weaved his way 42 yards to the end zone to help pull Kansas City within 17-14.Carolina got the ball back and had to punt five plays later, and the Chiefs moved 35 yards to give Santos a chance to kick a tying 33-yard field goal with 4 1/2 minutes to go.The teams swapped punts and the game appeared to be headed for overtime when Newton hit Kelvin Benjamin with about 30 seconds left in the game. Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters, whose penchant for picking off passes has made him one of the leagues bright young stars, this time wrapped his arms around Benjamin and proceeded to rip the ball right from his hands.Instant replay confirmed the fumble. Santos trotted onto the field a couple plays later and calmly knocked a 37-yard field goal through to give the Chiefs another come-from-behind win.Cairo kind of gets left out of the mix there, Reid said. Weve never not had confidence in Cairo. He came in and won the starting job when that wasnt expected to happen, and we havent really felt a lack of confidence toward his game. Like everybody, the human element, youre going to miss some, that happens, but I think we all expect him to get in there and do what he does.After all, thats status quo for everybody on the Chiefs these days.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
