Despite hearing rumours that he is supposedly frustrated with his teams
direction, John Tavares says that he remains committed to staying with the New
York Islanders for the remaining four years of his contract.
Nike Air Max 90 Wit . The team captain signed
a six-year, $33 million deal with the Islanders prior to the 2011-12 season. He
was having a good year with 24 goals and 42 assists in 59 games before suffering
a season-ending knee injury while playing for Canada at the Sochi Olympics. "I
signed six years because I wanted to be here. Theres no part of me that wants to
leave," Tavares told Newsday on Monday. "I think [the talk] is a product of the
team not winning, and the perception around here from other markets is always a
lot different from what actually happens. I know weve still got some great
things we can accomplish here and my mindset hasnt changed. "Im excited to come
back next year and Ive always loved being here," the 23-year-old added. The
Islanders finished 14th in the 16-team Eastern Conference this season, one year
after finishing eighth and falling to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round
of the playoffs.

last on July 18, the Miami Marlins had won just once in their previous seven
games. What a difference a week made. Garrett Jones and Marcell Ozuna homered to
lead the Marlins over the Houston Astros 4-2 Sunday to complete a three game
sweep and a 6-1 trip. Its the first time theyve ever swept in Houston and was
their first series sweep since beating the Rays in consecutive two-game series
from June 2-5. "It feels good that we were able to come in here and not have a
letdown after a great series in Atlanta," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "I
think thats probably the biggest thing. We did what we needed to do to win, and
thats a good feeling out there right now." Jones homer capped a three-run first
for the Marlins, and Ozuna padded the lead with his solo shot in the sixth. "It
was huge to get this last win and head home and confidence is high," Jones said.
"Weve got the Nationals coming in so its going to be a big next few games. It
was good to have a good road trip and just take that confidence going back home
and continue playing good baseball." Jacob Turner (4-6) allowed one run and six
hits in 5 2-3 innings to win his second start since moving from the bullpen. "I
really just felt like I had to battle all day, didnt have my best stuff," Turner
said. "But at the same time made some pitches when I needed to, got out of jams
and that was huge." Steve Cishek allowed one run in the ninth before getting his
26th save in 29 chances. Houstons Collin McHugh (4-9), back from a disabled list
stint caused by a finger blister, made his first start since July 6 and gave up
four runs and seven hits 6 1-3 innings with nine strikeouts for his sixth
straight loss. "When you start talking ... (records) for a starting pitcher, a
lot of things have to go righht," manager Bo Porter said.

well and still not factor into the decision. Weve got to score runs. Thats
pretty much the difference in the game." Jose Altuve hit a leadoff homer, and
Jon Singleton had a solo drive in the ninth for the Astros, who have lost five
in a row and eight of 10. Altuve homered and singled twice for his second
straight three-hit game and 18th this year. He leads the major leagues with a
.344 average and 148 hits, and he also swiped his AL-best 42nd base. Miamis
Giancarlo Stanton struck out four times and has fanned in six straight at-bats.
Christian Yelich hit a leadoff single and scored on a triple by
Jordany Valdespin, who came home on Casey McGehees sacrifice fly. Jones made it
3-0 with his 11th homer, a drive about five rows into the eight-field stands.
Altuves second leadoff homer of the season and third of his career cut the lead
to 3-1 in the bottom half. Ozuna extended the lead to 4-1 with a sixth-inning
homer into the Crawford Boxes in left. Singletons ninth-inning homer off Cishek
was his first since July 7 and stopped an 0 for 11 skid. "Its been a while since
I hit a ball hard," said Singleton, who is hitting just .178. "Its always nice
when you can hit a ball like. Hopefully we can pick up some momentum from what
happened (Sunday). NOTES: RHP Mark Appel, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013
amateur draft, has been promoted to Double-A Corpus Christi from Class A
