PHILADELPHIA -- For those in attendance at the Philadelphia Phillies series opener against the Dodgers, the night will mean much more than just an opportunity to see an interdivision game. Robinson Cano Jersey .It will be a chance to welcome one of the franchises favorite players back home.Chase Utley, who helped the Phillies to a 2008 World Series championship, will make his first visit to Citizens Bank Park as an opposing player on Tuesday night in what is sure to be an emotional evening for one of the cornerstones of the franchises best squads.Utley, the teams starting second baseman from shortly after his 2003 call-up until his trade midway through last season, accumulated 1,623 hits, 142 home runs and 916 RBI in his time in Philadelphia, making six All-Star Games and finishing in the top 10 in MVP voting on three occasions.His ultra-competitive nature and professional demeanor made him beloved in a town that values hard work above all else, and his departure -- while a necessary move given the teams rebuilding status -- was seen as the end of an era in the city.Obviously I have so many great memories from playing in the stadium and in front of those great fans, Utley told Philly.com before the Dodgers hosted the Phillies last week. Its going to be exciting. It might be a bit emotional. But Im looking forward to it.Most of Utleys long-time teammates are also gone, though first base Ryan Howard and catcher Carlos Ruiz -- both likely in their final seasons in Philadelphia -- still remain.Los Angeles entered Mondays action one game behind San Francisco in the National League West, and has a 3 1/2-game lead in the NL wild-card race over Saint Louis, which is up only a half-game over the rest of the field.Philadelphia is 6 1/2 games in back of the Cardinals, 10 games behind the Dodgers.The Dodgers will start right-hander Kenta Maeda (11.7, 3.31 ERA) on Tuesday. He has been the Dodgers most consistent pitcher, but struggled the last time he faced the Phillies, allowing three runs in five innings.On Wednesday, the Dodgers will go with left-hander Scott Kazmir, who is 9-6 with a 4.44 ERA.As the Phillies try to chase down a wild-card spot over the final stretch of the season, manager Pete Mackanin is just hoping his starting pitching rotation can hold together.A line drive off the left (throwing) arm of starter Adam Morgan led to his removal in the fourth inning of Sundays 7-6 win over the Colorado Rockies, just the latest Phillies starter to suffer an injury.Vince Velasquez (8-4, 3.94), who will start the series opener, suffered a biceps strain that has caused him to miss several starts in June and July. Although he has made his last four starts, he hasnt made it past the sixth inning in any of them. Jake Thompson (1-1, 8.68 ERA), who is pitching Wednesday, is making his third career start.Jeremy Hellickson (back) had to leave his last start early, as did Zach Eflin (foot). Eflin, it turns out, was pitching with a broken bone in his foot and is likely done for the season.Weve got the day off (Monday), theyre going to inform me on whatever they have on Tuesday, Mackanin said.How heavily has Phillys bullpen been taxed? Over the Phillies last 14 games, Mackanin has used an average of 3.6 relief pitchers per game for nearly five innings per game (4.78). The 50 2/3 innings theyve pitched in August are second-most in the NL and third-most in the majors.The last time Mackanin was able to use fewer than three relievers for fewer than three innings in one game was on July 29, when Vincent Velasquez went six innings before two relievers threw an inning each. Of course, it helped that Atlanta didnt need to bat in the ninth inning.I looked back at my chart and weve been five innings, four innings, five innings, three innings with our starters and that really taxes the bullpen, Mackanin said. Kyle Seager Jersey . Goals from Jerome Boateng, Franck Ribery and Thomas Mueller extended Bayerns unbeaten run to a record 37 matches. "This record is incredible," Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said. Nelson Cruz Mariners Jersey .Y. - New York City has been selected to host the NBA All-Star weekend in 2015, with the game played at Madison Square Garden and the slam dunk contest and other skills events held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. http://www.authenticmarinersgear.com/ken-griffey-mariners-jersey/ . All of the scoring came in the final 20:04. Lucic scored on a power play at 15:46 of the third period, when he tipped a shot over Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen for a 3-1 lead. Here come the unbeaten Steelers from Western Pennsylvania, crossing the Keystone State to meet the unbeaten Eagles.They only play every four years, but how cool it is that each is 2-0 and looking strong when they meet Sunday?Even without star running back LeVeon Bell and emerging receiver Martavis Bryant -- Bell finishes his three-game league suspension this weekend, while Bryant is suspended for the entire season -- Pittsburghs offense has hummed. DeAngelo Williams leads the NFL in rushing in his 11th pro season, Antonio Brown is the games most dangerous wideout, and Ben Roethlisberger is making big plays.They dont ask for a birth certificate before the game, Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz says of the 33-year-old Williams.They dont give you 9 yards (to gain a first down) if you are over 30. Youve still got to get 10. Hes a patient runner, hes compact, and hes strong. He can test every area of your run gaps.The Steelers dont have many run gaps; their rush defense ranks second. So Philly might need to rely once more on rookie quarterback Carson Wentz. Hes made a strong debut in wins over Cleveland and Chicago, but Pittsburgh isnt anything like those two tailenders.Eagles coach Doug Pederson pays Wentz quite a compliment when asked if he saw some Roethlisberger in the second overall draft pick.Little bit, little bit, Pederson says.Carson has the ability to extend plays with his legs. Ben is big, strong, physical in the pocket, hard to bring down and continues to have great vision down the field.I think thats one thing with Carsons strength is he continues to have that vision down the field when things begin to break down.So, yeah, there are a lot of similarities there. The fact that theyre both very good throwers outside the pocket is a tribute to both of them.As would be a 3-0 record.The action began Thursday night with New Englands 27-0 home victory over Houston.Jacoby Brissett had a 27-yard touchdown run in his first NFL start, LeGarrette Blount added scoring runs of 1 and 41 yards for New England (3-0). It was the Patriots first shutout win since 2012, and the first time the Texans (2-1) have been shutout since 2003.Brissett started in place of Jimmy Garoppolo, who was inactive because of an injured right shoulder. It was the first time since Drew Bledsoe in 1993 that New England had started a rookie quarterback.Atlanta (1-1) at New Orleans (2-0), Monday nightA rematch of the biggest regular-season game in Saints history, their return to the Superdome after being displaced for 2005 by Hurricane Katrina. A blocked punt by Steve Gleason -- theres a statue outside the stadium honoring it -- sparked a 2006 win over Atlanta, and the Saints wound up in the playoffs.Theres a lot of symbolism in that game, Saints coach Sean Payton says. That idea of rebirth. ... You have this event that coincides with the reopening of an area that was used to shelter people. There were a ton of things that were somewhat unreal about it. ... Obviously that was an emotional night, and it was loud.Falcons coach Dan Quinn lost both of these rivalry games in his initial season in Atlanta.Denver (2-0) at Cincinnati (1-1)The Broncos hit the road for the first time, and you can be sure theyll be hitting anything that moves in a Bengals uniform. Denvers defense is hellacious once more, especially against the pass, ranking second. Super Bowl MVP Von Miller already has four sacks.On the other side, Cincinnati is dead last in rushing defense, and Broncos RB C.J. Anderson leads the NFL with seven runs of at least 10 yards. The Broncos have an NFL-best record in September over the past three seasons of 11-1.Cincinnati opened with two road contests and now tries to get its running game in gear at home. Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard have combined for less than 100 yards rushing in the first two games.Minnesota (2-0) at Carolina (1-1)A tough test for the Vikings minus Adrian Peterson, sidelined by knee surgery. At least Sam Bradford looked sharp as he stepped into the QB void created when Teddy Bridgewater went down in the preseason.Obviously, when Adrians in the game, everyones loading the box, trying to stop the run, which gives us a lot of one-on-one matchups on the outside, Bradford says. It also makes our play action pretty effective. When they see him coming downhill, everyones stepping up to stop the run.Well have to see how defenses try to play us from here on out.The Panthers have won 14 straight home games, including playoffs. Theyre getting terrific production from WR Kelvin Benjamin, who missed all of 2015 with a knee injury after a strong rookie season. He has 13 catches and three TDs in two games.The game is in Charlotte, which was declared to be in state of emergency Wednesday by Gov. Pat McCrory due to police shooting protests.Detroit (1-1) at Green Bay (1-1)Coming off their sloppy loss at Minnesota, the Packers get their first home game -- against a Lions team that was even sloppier in blowing a lead to Tennessee.The previous time the Pack visited Ford Field, they won on a desperation pass from Aaron Rodgers to Richard Rodgers.Well, we actually dont call it `Hail Mary, Packers coach Mike McCarthy says. We call it `Rebound Pass. ... Weve got the ball thrown at the right time clock to give our receivers enough time to get down the field and it was definitely at the angle tthat youre looking at. Robinson Cano Mariners Jersey. San Francisco (1-1) at Seattle (1-1)The 49ers havent won in Seattle since late in the 2011 season. But Blaine Gabbert has thrown a TD pass in 12 straight games, had a 98.2 passer rating in his previous meeting with the Seahawks, and has found two unexpectedly proficient targets so far in TE Vance McDonald and WR Jeremy Kerley. Kerley leads the team with 10 receptions and McDonald has caught two of the 49ers three TD passes.Seattle cant find its offense and has some hobbled players in RB Thomas Rawls (shin), WR Doug Baldwin (knee) and WR Tyler Lockett (knee). All are expected to play, and Rawls rushed for 209 yards and a TD in the previous game vs. the 49ers.Los Angeles (1-1) at Tampa Bay (1-1)Tampa is one of three teams without a takeaway so far, joining Seattle and the Giants. Even worse, the Bucs have an NFL-high six giveaways, with five interceptions thrown by Jameis Winston.The Rams have the NFLs worst offense statistically, but they woke up last week against Seattle in their first game back in Los Angeles after a debacle of an opener at the 49ers.New York Jets (1-1) at Kansas City (1-1)The beginning of a gantlet for New York: four straight 2015 playoff teams. At least the Jets come into this one with a potent passing attack featuring Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, and RB Matt Forte offering balance. They also can get after the passer on defense.KC, coming off its first regular-season loss in 12 games, might get back star running back Jamaal Charles (right knee). The way to penetrate the Jets defense right now, though, has been to challenge cornerback Darrelle Revis.Chicago (0-2) at Dallas (1-1)Dallas benefited from some poor play by Washington QB Kirk Cousins a week ago, and now could be looking at Bears backup Brian Hoyer or a banged-up (thumb) Jay Cutler. Both can be turnover machines.Shockingly, the Cowboys have lost eight straight at home dating to last seasons opener. It might be tough for the struggling Bears to sneak out with a victory: Chicago also will be without LBs Lamarr Houston (knee) and Danny Trevathan (sprained thumb), along with the likely absence of DL Eddie Goldman (sprained ankle).Washington (0-2) at New York Giants (2-0)The intrigue here centers on the rematch between Giants star wideout Odell Beckham Jr., and Redskins cornerback Josh Norman. Last December, during Normans All-Pro season with Carolina, he so frustrated Beckham that OBJ committed three penalties and wound up suspended for the next game.Both guys were playing relatively nice during the week, refusing to stoke the fire. Lets see if that approach holds up Sunday.Baltimore (2-0) at Jacksonville (0-2)Like the Redskins, the Jaguars have tempered high expectations with a stumbling start. A close home loss to Green Bay is acceptable, but a rout at the hands of San Diego is not. Another defeat and all of those prognostications that Jacksonville was on the come will begin to look foolish.The Ravens have ridden a hot defense that ranks second overall and first against the pass. If they can handle the Allens -- dangerous wideouts Hurns and Robinson -- they could have their first 3-0 start since 2009.Cleveland (0-2) at Miami (0-2)The Dolphins are somewhat schizophrenic in 2016. They showed solid defense in a loss to Seattle, then fell apart early at New England and were blitzed for 24 first-half points. But they also rallied to fall by only seven against the Patriots.At least Cleveland is consistent: banged-up and losing. Rookie Cody Kessler becomes the third Browns QB this season -- and the 99th (well, actually the 26th) since the franchise was reborn in 1999.Arizona (1-1) at Buffalo (0-2)Rex Ryan fired offensive coordinator Greg Roman and well see what effect it has as the discombobulated Bills face one of the NFLs best. The Cardinals head to the road for the first time, and their multi-pronged offense will severely challenge Ryans underwhelming D.Well without question weve had a lot of setbacks. You know, through injury, suspension, whatever, Ryan notes. Nobodys feeling sorry for us, we certainly understand that, and were not feeling sorry for ourselves. We know we have to get better and we have plenty of capable guys that are playing for us, so theres absolutely no excuses.Oakland (1-1) at Tennessee (1-1)The Raiders have shown lots of offense by averaging 470 yards and with Derek Carr throwing four TD passes and not being intercepted. But they also have given up 69 points.Oakland needs to watch out for tight end Delanie Walker, who has become a major force in Nashville and had six catches for 91 yards against the Raiders last season. In the win at Detroit, Walker went for six receptions for 83 yards and a TD.San Diego (1-1) at Indianapolis (0-2)Two more injury-plagued clubs. Indys secondary is a real mess, and the Chargers lost top receiver Keenan Allen and versatile running back Danny Woodhead for the season.The Chargers have won six of the past seven in this series, including three straight, and are 12-3 on the road against the Colts. Philip Rivers needs four more TD passes to tie John Unitas (290) for No. 10, and could get it against Indys damaged D.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://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 ' ' '

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers recalled top prospect Joey Gallo from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday. Evgeny Kuznetsov Jersey .Gallo, a promising slugger, and right-hander Nick Martinez were brought up before Tuesday nights game against Oakland, and both were starting against the Athletics. Veteran right-hander Kyle Lohse was designated for assignment, and outfielder Jared Hoying was optioned to Round Rock.Manager Jeff Banister said Gallo, 22, provides a big left-handed bat with power potential in the lineup, which is without Prince Fielder (pending neck surgery) and Shin-Soo Choo (lower back inflammation).Gallo was hitting sixth and playing first base in his return. He was with the team for four games in late May and had a flyout as a pinch hitter in his only action. He hit six homers in 36 games last season for the Rangers.Martinez (1-2, 6.45 ERA) was recalled to make his first start for the Rangers since July 4 at Boston. He had been optioned to Round Rock soon after that when Lohse was brought up from the minors, but Martinez replaced him in the rotation.Lohse, 37, lost both his starts and had a 12.54 ERA for Texas since being called up just before the All-Star break. He allowed 15 hits and 13 runs in 9? innings with three strikeouts and five walks for the Rangers, after going 2-5 with a 5.06 ERA in 10 starts for Round Rock.Gallo hit .246 with 19 homers and 47 RBIs in 70 games at Round Rock, with homers in three of his last five games.Hoying hit .241 with five RBIs in 17 games over two stints with the Rangers this season. He also pitched an inning July 8 against Minnesota.The Rangers also transferred outfielder Drew Stubbs (left little toe sprain) from the Arizona League to Round Rock to continue his injury rehab assignment, and outfielder Justin Ruggiano was released from his minor league contract with Round Rock. He was on the Rangers Opening Day roster, but played only one game before getting designated for assignment and outrighted to Round Rock on April 10. Marcus Johansson Capitals Jersey .

FRISCO, Texas -- For the first time this season, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has not been ruled out of a game on the Friday before kickoff, but that does not mean he will be active Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jori Lehtera Jersey .Romo, who was officially listed as questionable, went through his third straight full practice of the week Friday. It marks the first time since Week 14 of the 2014 season he has been listed as a full participant for three straight practices.After undergoing two back surgeries in 2013, Romo has missed most Wednesday sessions to build up his core strength, coming up with the routine after the second game of the 2014 season.Earlier Friday, coach Jason Garrett said the team had not made a decision as to what Romos role would be. The coaches have a meeting on Saturday night, and sources told ESPNs Adam Schefter and Adam Caplan that Romo is not expected to be active.Rookie Dak Prescott, who has a 7-1 record with 12 touchdown passes and two interceptions, will start. If Romo is inactive, Mark Sanchez will be the backup quarterback. Garrett acknowledged it would be too difficult to carry three quarterbacks on the active roster because of the strain it would put on other positions.If Romo does not dress, this would be the first time since the 2004 season finale that he was healthy and did not play. He was the Cowboys third quarterback against the New York Giants behind Vinny Testaverde and Drew Henson, but the league has since changed the rules regarding the No. 3 quarterback. In 2008, he did not play against the St. Louis Rams with a broken pinky finger but he served as Brad Johnsons backup.Romo split the scout-team work this week with Sanchez.While he is medically cleared to go, the Cowboys want to make sure Romo is game ready before he returns to the field in whatever capacity for the first time since last Thanksgiving.Last year circumstance led the Cowboys to play Romo after he suffered a broken left collarbone in the second week of the season. He missed the next seven games, which were all Cowboys losses, before returning Nov. 22 against the Miami Dolphins. He suffered a re-break of the collarbone four days later in a loss to the Carolina Panthers and was done for the season.Romo had the benefit of a full offseason, training camp and preseason work, plus his game and a half of regular-season action to fall back on in his return last year. While he did everything in the offseason program and training camp this season, he played just 16 snaps in the preseason.He completed five of six passes for 60 yards but suffered the compression fracture in his back on the third play from scrimmage against the Seattle Seahawks on Aug. 25. For the better part of a month Romo has increased his conditioning work and over the last three weeks he has done more in practice. St. Louis Blues Jersey .

Darya Domracheva of Belarus was second, 34. http://www.officialbluesnhlshop.com/paul-stastny-jersey/ . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. CLEVELAND -- David Paulinos major league debut was brief, yet quite eventful.The right-hander pitched three innings, allowed four runs and threw two wild pitches Thursday as the Cleveland Indians outslugged Houston 10-7. The Astros dropped 2 1/2 games behind Baltimore for the final American League wild-card spot.Paulino (0-1), who was promoted from Triple-A Fresno two days earlier, allowed four hits, two walks and hit a batter. He failed to strike out any of the 15 batters he faced.I felt really good, thank God, and honestly didnt feel any pressure going out there in the first, the 6-foot-7 Paulino said through an interpreter. I got a little tired in the long (third) inning, but that was about all.Rookie Alex Bregman tied his career high with three RBI, while Colby Rasmus and rookie Yuli Gurriel homered for the second straight game for the Astros, who went 3-4 on their road trip.Gurriel hit his first home run Wednesday in his 14th big league game, but Houston lost the final two contests of its four-game series against AL Central leader Cleveland.Coming into this series, you would happily take a split against the Indians, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. But with the way it happened -- losing the last two the way we did -- youre going to be a mess, psychologically, about it.The Indians scored four times off Paulino in the third, taking the lead for good at 4-1. Two runs came around on a controversial bases-loaded wild pitch by Paulino, which led to Hinchs ejection by crew chief Jim Joyce.Lonnie Chisenhall swung at a pitch in the dirt, which bounced away from catcher Jason Castro. Replays showed that Chisenhall fouled off the ball, but Joyce permitted both runs to count as the play was not reviewable.Common sense loses again, so all you can do is wear it, Hinch said. Jake Allen Blues Jersey. The umpires are trying their best and theyre good umpires, but its extremely disappointing to walk away like that.Paulino because the eighth consecutive Astros starter to fail to complete six innings. It was his first appearance since throwing five innings for Fresno on Sept. 1.Brady Rodgers followed and gave up five runs in one inning as Cleveland eventually went up 10-3. Houston made 17 pitching changes and allowed 25 runs in the series.It was a big ask for us to expect Paulino to go long, Hinch said. I thought he started loosening up and his (velocity) had a little bit of an uptick after the first, but the third just took forever, which is why we went to the bullpen at that point.Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer (11-6) allowed five runs in five innings. Cody Allen tossed a perfect ninth for his 26th save.The game was delayed by rain for 55 minutes in the middle of the sixth.ROAD WARRIORAstros 2B Jose Altuve, who went 0 for 4, leads the majors with a .387 average on the road. The last player to post a higher mark in away games was Seattles Ichiro Suzuki, who batted .405 in 2004.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: SS Carlos Correa (left shoulder inflammation) returned to Houston for additional medical tests Wednesday. Hinch said he was optimistic the 2015 AL Rookie of the Year will return to action this weekend.UP NEXTAstros: RHP Joe Musgrove opens a three-game home series against the Cubs. Houston has averaged 3.0 runs scored during his six starts.Indians: RHP Danny Salazar takes the hill to begin a three-game series at Minnesota. He is 6-4 with a 3.38 ERA in 12 road starts this year.

Perth Wildcats claimed an 84-74 overtime win against the Cairns Taipans on Saturday night to avoid a second straight loss to start their title defence. Brian McCann Yankees Jersey .Jaron Johnson bought the Perth Arena crowd to their feet when he dropped a three-point shot to tie the scores with just 0.80 seconds remaining in the game.Just 17.1 seconds earlier, Johnson had those same fans holding their heads in disbelief after he turned the ball over when the Cats trailed by one point and looked to have blown their chance of victory.That three pointer was Johnsons 13th in a massive personal final quarter after the Taipans had led by as many as six in the same period.He finished the games highest scorer, with 26, while Casey Prather scored 23.The Taipans managed only four points in the overtime period.The Wildcats produced an almost carbon copy of Thursdays away loss to the Brisbane Bullets in the season opener.They got out to an early lead (14 points) against the Taipans, just like they did against the Bullets - only to let their opposition back in the game after the main break.Only this time, they managed to find a way to win.Perth coach Trevor Gleeson must have let out a massive sigh of relief after the game, having given away a technical foul and a subsequent one point to the Taipans Cameron Gliddon during the fourth quarter.The margin then was two points in favour of the visitors.Gliddon was terrific in the Cairns comeback, adding 10 points of his own in the fourth quarter and 20 for the game.The Taipans didnt help themselves in the first half though, with inaccurate shooting.After scoring the first four points of the contest, they managed only eight for the opening quarter.They shot a disappointing 17 per cent from the field, with none of their seven attempts from three-point range dropping.Cairns also got itself into foul trouble late in the period, but while the Cats couldnt make the most of their gifts from the free-throw line (six from 11), they still led by 11 points at the first break.That lead was reduced to just eight by half-time, despite the Taipans still struggling in offense.Prather and Jameel McKay threatened to blow the game apart for the home side early in the second quarter, the beneficiaries of some typically dogged Damian Martin defence - and the lead got out to 14.New Wildcats US import Jaron Johnson couldnt say if the match-tying shot was the biggest he has ever hit, but admits its in his top five.Its probably ... right up there, he said.I want to be the type of player that can be put into that position to shoot like take.Coach wrote the play. I had had a turnover just previous to that so I was feeling kind of bad about it, but my teammates were there to pick me up.Cairns coach Aaron Fearne said he was disappointed that they let the win go.We lacked some discipline on what were doing, he said.Im disappointed we didnt stay aggressive. We had been playing very aggressive in the pre-season and came out tonight tentative; very on the back foot.We let them control us, instead of us controlling the game.And then obviously we broke down on that last play when they hit the three.

VIENNA -- With Dominic Thiem as its most notable absentee, Austria is sending its smallest squad in 40 years to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Kole Calhoun Angels Jersey .Without the ninth-ranked tennis player, the Austrian team consists of 37 men and 31 women. In 1976, Austria was represented by just 60 athletes at the Montreal Olympics.The Austrian Olympic Committee chose Liu Jia as the flag bearer for the Aug. 5 opening ceremony. The Chinese-born table tennis player is set to compete in her fifth Olympics.The committee vice-president Peter Schroecksnadel says we believe we have chances to win medals. The goal is three to five medals.Four years ago, Austria failed to win any silverware at the London Games. Mike Trout Jersey . But what about the officials?

PETERSBURG, Fla. LEWISTON, N.Y. -- Maryland coach Brenda Frese and her sixth-ranked Terrapins found a nice way to cap their weekend getaway to upstate New York.Freshman point guard Destiny Slocum had career highs with 25 points and seven assists as Maryland cruised to a 96-64 victory over Niagara on Sunday. The Terrapins scored on seven of their first eight possessions and forced five turnovers in opening the game on a 16-2 run. They led 58-32 at halftime.It was really important that the five of us who started came out and set the tone, Slocum said. That was our mindset, that we needed to start strong.Frese had accompanied All-American honorable mention Shatori Walker-Kimbrough to the Pan-American Games in Toronto last summer and took the opportunity to visit Niagara Falls. She wondered, Why havent we ever taken our team up here? That led to Maryland scheduling its first game at Niagara, and the team visited the namesake falls on Saturday.It was sensational, Frese said.So were the Terrapins. Brionna Jones and Walker-Kimbrough each chipped in 16 points for Maryland, which failed to score 100 points for the first time this season. Still, the Terrapins were efficient on offense, shooting 53.7 percent while making a season-high 11 3-pointers on 26 attempts (42.3 percent). They assisted on 26 of 36 field goals. It was their second straight game with 26 assists.Not completely satisfied, but I thought we were very unselfish, Frese said. We let the game come to us.Maryland held Niagara to 37.3 percent shooting and forced 18 turnovers that turned into 24 points.Niagaras 64 points were the most allowed by a Maryland opponent this season. Victoria Rampado led the Purple Eagles (1-3) with 24 points and five rebounds.Their point guard is one of the best freshmen Ive seen in 20 years of basketball, Niagara coach Jada Pierce said of Slocum. Andrew Heaney Angels Jersey. BIG PICTUREAfter winning their first three home games by an average of 55 points, the Terrapins rolled to another blowout win in their road opener. Maryland went 17-2 in road/neutral games last season.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Terrapins havent done anything to merit dropping out of the top 10 for the first time since Jan. 12, 2015. They could move up a spot after No. 2 Baylor lost at No. 3 Connecticut, but voters may not penalize the Bears for losing on the road to the four-time defending NCAA champion. Maryland has not played a ranked team yet.FRESH TALENTMore than half of Marylands points (49) came from its top-rated recruiting class. Slocum did the most damage, but fellow McDonalds All-Americans Kaila Charles (nine points), Sarah Myers (five), Stephanie Jones (four), Jenna Staiti (four) and Blair Watson (two) all contributed in their first college road game. Charles had seven of Marylands first 11 points.MILESTONEBrionna Jones passed Belinda Pearman and moved into 25th on the Terrapins all-time scoring list with 1,286 career points. Jones made 7 of 9 shots, bringing her career field goal percentage up to 63.2 percent. The Big Ten record is 60.8 percent set by Purdues Camille Cooper from 1997-2001.UP NEXTMaryland continues its four-game road trip at the South Point Shootout in Las Vegas, playing its first ranked opponent, No. 18 Arizona State, on Friday, and Washington State on Saturday.

CHICAGO -- The decisive inning took so long that Jose Quintana got stiff watching from the dugout and retreated to the batting cages to play catch. Neal Broten Stars Jersey .When he returned, he had all the support he needed to hand the division-leading Cleveland Indians another ugly loss.Todd Frazier and Carlos Sanchez each drove in two runs in a seven-run sixth inning, and the Chicago White Sox routed the Indians 8-1 on Tuesday night.I was trying to stay loose, Quintana said of the 10 to 12 extra throws. They scored a lot of runs, so then I just wanted to throw strikes.The White Sox had seven hits, drew two walks and sent 12 batters to the plate against three pitchers in their highest-scoring inning of the season. The Indians, who have allowed 19 runs in two games, maintained a six-game lead over Detroit in the AL Central after the Tigers lost to Minnesota 8-1.Were going to lose games, Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor said. The way were losing games is not right.Quintana (12-10) held Cleveland to five hits over eight innings, including Brandon Guyers solo homer in the second in Chicagos fifth win in seven games.Quintana lowered his ERA 3.05, but has 10 losses thanks to often getting few runs to work with. That changed in the sixth.Q doesnt get the press he should get in my opinion, center fielder Adam Eaton said. He does a heck of a job with the quality start rate he has, its tremendous. And it falls on the hitters shoulders to score some runs for him.Tied at 1, Trevor Bauer (11-7) walked Eaton to lead off the sixth. Four hits followed, with Jose Abreu driving in the first run and Frazier getting his career-high 92nd RBI to chase Bauer.I feel like I didnt deserve to have that happen, Bauer said. Thats as good as I been in months. Baseball is a (messed-up) game.Avisail Garcia then delivered an RBI single, Sanchez tripled and Eaton doubled in a run in his second time up to end Dan Oteros night. Joe Colon came in and gave up a walk before Melky Cabrera grounded out to end a half-inning that took more than 30 minutes.Abreus two-out bloop single in the first made it 1-0 and extended Chicagos scoring streak to nine consecutive innings after an 11-4 rout Monday.Bauer then retired 12 straight before hitting Sanchez with a pitch in the fifth. He was charged with six runs and struck out seven.Quintana struck out six and walked one.If we can swing the bats like that with him, you feel really good about your opportunity, manager Robin Ventura said. Q is as steady as can be.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: Yan Gomes (shoulder) caught nine innings and went 2 for 4 in a playoff game for Double-A Akron. Gomes is expected to come off the disabled list Friday. He wont be ready to catch every day, but having him back will be really nice, manager Terry Francona said. . Guyer left with a sore knee, but Francona expected him to play Wednesday.White Sox: DH Justin Morneau (stiff neck) was out of the lineup and 1B Abreu moved to DH after getting hit in the nose and tweaking his ankle in separate plays Monday. Morneau could return Wednesday.TOMLINS RETURNStruggling Cleveland RHP Josh Tomlin will start Wednesday for the first time since Aug. 30. He went 0-5 with an 11.48 ERA in August before being taken out of the rotation. Tomlin said the end result is on me and added he needs to make quicker in-game adjustments.Hopefully, the down time not just physically but mentally gave him a chance to think about things, Francona said. Hell be OK.DOG DAYSWhite Sox 2B Tyler Saladino heard barking between pitches in the first inning and wheeled around. He saw more than a thousand dogs in the outfield stands as the White Sox set a record for most dogs to attend a sporting event.The team announced 1,122 dogs were on hand, which was confirmed by the Guinness Book of Worlds Records.Who Let The Dogs Out? Eaton said. That song was stuck in my head.UP NEXTTomlin (11-8, 4.85 ERA) faces LHP Carlos Rodon (7-8, 3.80). Rodon is 5-0 with a 1.85 ERA in his last seven starts. Antoine Roussel Stars Jersey .

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Tomas Hertl made sure to keep the Sharks on track, helping San Jose overcome a power outage in the second period and having a goal disallowed early in the third.Hertl had two goals and Joonas Donskoi also scored to lead the Sharks to a 3-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night.There were a couple things there out of our control, but I thought considering that, we stuck with it and found a way, Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. You coach junior hockey in Canada for 15 years, you see your share of power outages.Martin Jones stopped 24 shots to help the Sharks improve to 3-0 at home.Scott Hartnell scored for the Blue Jackets, who lost for the second straight game. Sergei Bobrovsky finished with 26 saves.Hartnell spoiled Jones shutout bid with 2:50 remaining as the puck skipped off Jones skate and onto Hartnells stick and he put it in to make it 2-1.I though we played well. We just have not been consistent enough offensively, Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella said. We dont have enough offensive guys going right now.Hertl added an empty net goal in the final second.Donskoi scored his first goal of the season, on a power play with 7:01 left in the first period after taking a pass from David Schlemko and knocking it in off the bottom of Bobrovskys glove and having it bounce into the net.My last year in Finland, the ice broke a couple of times, Donskoi said of the power outage. That was even worse. There was maybe a 1 1/2, two-hour delay in the game, and we just kept going after that. I dont think this wwas too bad. Ted Williams Red Sox Jersey. After a goal by Brenden Dillon was disallowed due to offsides following a lengthy review early in the third period, the Sharks scored another power-play goal with Hertl converting on a rebound to make it 2-0.A lot bad bounces and they just capitalized, Columbus Josh Anderson said. It was just unfortunate they had one on the power play too. I thought we came out the way we wanted but we got away from our game a little bit there.The lights over the ice went out with 2:42 left in the second period, forcing an early intermission. The time was added to the beginning of the third period, with the teams switching sides after 2:42.It was definitely a long game, the Sharks Joel Ward said. I dont know what time it is right now but with that and the disallowed goal it felt like a triple overtime type of game. Havent seen that before, but hopefully since we won maybe it happens again and we can capitalize.Game notes Schlemko recorded his first point with the Sharks. ... Bobrovsky is one of two goalies to have played all of their teams minutes this season. ... Sharks F Patrick Marleau appeared in his 550th consecutive game. ... The Sharks are 4 for 10 in power plays at home. ...

TORONTO -- An off-day trip to the health club knocked out Toronto catcher Russell Martin. Darren ODay Orioles Jersey .Feeling woozy following an extended spell in the sauna at his Toronto residence Thursday, Martin injured his left knee when he passed out and fell while taking a cold shower. He is expected to miss at least two games.I woke up and I had the shower curtain half on my body and the rest of my head was kind of sticking outside the shower, Martin said. Its a weird feeling.An MRI on Martins knee Friday showed no structural damage, and the four-time All-Star said he may have aggravated an old injury.I just sat in the locker room for 10 minutes, completely drained, Martin said. It was scary, but i guess it could have been worse.Martin said he often treats soreness by alternating hot and cold water and has felt weak before but never lost consciousness.An 11-year veteran who is in the second season of a five-year, $82 million contract, Martin is batting .228 with seven home runs and 36 RBIJosh Thole is starting for Toronto against Seattle on Friday.

LONDON -- As fog engulfed English stadiums, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Diego Costa illuminated the Premier League on Saturday.And the 35-year-old Ibrahimovic is fast catching the striker seven years his junior on the scoring leaderboard with only two goals separating them.Ibrahimovic provided both goals at the Hawthorns as Manchester United rolled over West Bromwich Albion 2-0 for a third consecutive league victory -- a header after five minutes and a deflected second-half strike.He is great to play alongside because he makes such great runs, United winger Jesse Lingard said. That makes him easy to link up with.At Crystal Palace in south London, Chelsea clocked up an 11th consecutive win for the first time in a Premier League season. Costa secured a 1-0 victory for Antonio Contes side by heading in his 15th goal of the league campaign in the first half.And Costa is far ahead of Ibrahimovic on a more significant table. Costas Chelsea tops the Premier League, still 13 points ahead of Ibrahimovics sixth-place United.Thats an unsettling gulf for United manager Jose Mourinho, who celebrated a third consecutive victory on the first anniversary of being fired by Chelsea for a second time.Returning United to the top four Champions League places, let alone challenging for the title, is a tough mission for Mourinho.Three of the teams ahead of United are in action on Sunday.

INVERNESS -- With applause raining down from the grandstands overlooking the 18th green at the Scottish Open, Phil Mickelson doffed his cap to an adoring crowd and walked to the side of the putting surface to hug his wife and three children. Archie Bradley Diamondbacks Jersey . He was acting out a similar scene just 20 minutes later -- this time having seized his second chance to secure a first victory in Europe in 20 years. Mickelson beat Branden Grace in a playoff Sunday after putting himself, his family and his growing legion of Scottish fans through a tense finale on a wild final day on the Castle Stuart links. "Nobody likes a movie that is predictable," said Mickelson, who appears to be as popular in the Highlands as he is back in California. "You always want to have a little bit of suspense." After overcoming a terrible start to his last round and wiping out a five-shot deficit to overnight leader Henrik Stenson, Mickelson only needed two putts for par on the 72nd hole to complete the perfect preparation for next weeks British Open at Muirfield. From the fringe, 15 feet out, his putt raced past the hole and his return effort from five feet clipped the edge of the cup and stayed out. That meant a new duel with Grace, who shot a 69 like Mickelson in the final round to finish on 17-under 271. Before heading back up the par-5 18th, Lefty embraced his family, who had been waiting nearby hoping to celebrate with him. "I was just getting a little luck from them. And refocusing after making a mistake like that," Mickelson said. It was skill rather than luck that eventually decided things in his favour. With Grace landing his third shot in the playoff 25 feet away, Mickelson seized his chance by producing a pitch from 45 yards with a 64 degree wedge that span back to within a foot of the pin. After days of links-style bump and runs, it was the kind of chip shot he produces week-in, week-out on the PGA Tour that sealed the win. After Mickelson tapped in, his South African opponents putt slid by and the celebrations could really begin for the Mickelson clan. "I almost let it slip away but to come out on top feels terrific," said Mickelson, who will tee off at Muirfield next week as No. 5 in the world and 500,000 pounds ($740,000) richer. "I dont think theres a better way to get ready for a major championship or an Open Championship than playing the week before, playing well the week before and getting into contention. And coming out on top just gives me more confidence." This was his 48th professional victory worldwide, four of which have come in the majors. However, he has never raised aloft the claret jug. Mickelson and Grace finished on 17-under 271 after overhauling Stenson, who bogeyed three of his last six holes for a tie for third with unheralded Dane J.B. Hansen on 15 under. Rebounding well from his near miss at last months U.S. Open and then his missed cut at the Greenbrier Classic last week, Mickelson had to dig deep to earn his first win on European soil since capturing the Tournoi Perrier Paris on the European Challenge Tour in 1993. When he drove into the rough on the first hole, topped his second shot and then three-putted, he dropped four strokes behind Stenson, who started in a manner befitting his nickname "The Iceman" in the toughest conditions of the week. After three calm and sunny days, the wind picked up off the Moray Firth coastline and turned a beautiful course into a beast. Only five players shot lower than 70 on Sunday. Mickelson was in more trouble when his chip from just off the third green came up short and rolled back down the hill to his feet. He was now five shots off the leader. "In conditions like these, there are going to be mistakes," Mickelson said. "There isnt a perfect round in these conditions." Urged on by a Scottish crowd that has really taken to the American -- a long-time supporter of this tournament and a lover of Scotland and its links courses -- he birdied the next three holes and then picked up shots at Nos. 11, 12, 14 and 16 to take the sole lead, after briefly sharing it with Stenson and Hansen. With the two Scandinavians dropping shots coming home, Grace became Mickelsons closest challenger and his illustrious rival handed him a reprieve to take the event beyond 72 holes. "I was so mad at myself after mentally losing my focus," Mickelson said. They were forced to wait to tee off again with organizers having removed the tee markers on the 18th, clearly confident Mickelson would finish the job the first time around. Mickelson held his nerve in the playoff, though, with his approach shot bringing roars of approval from fans. "This tournament, its special to me ... to play well at the Home of Golf really means a lot to me," he said. Hansen, who had missed the cut in 12 of his 17 previous tournaments in his rookie season, had threatened to produce one of the most remarkable comeback wins. He found the bushes twice on the second fairway -- forcing him to take two penalty drops -- and then chipped short of the green with his sixth to wind up with a quadruple-bogey nine. No one has ever won on the European Tour after making that score in his final round and he couldnt alter that stat, despite reeling off seven birdies on his next eight holes to briefly take the lead. Like Stenson, he faded away in the run home. Martin Laird shot 68 for the lowest round of the day, finishing in a tie for fifth and as the highest-placed Scot. Mickelsons win allowed Steve Stallings of the United States to get into the British Open as an alternate. Paul Goldschmidt Jersey . Jane Virtanen scored two, and Alex Roach and Elliott Peterson rounded out the offence for the Hitmen (40-15-6). Brady Brassart chipped in with three assists. Colton McCarthy scored twice, Brayden Point had a goal and two assists, and Jack Rodewald also scored for the Warriors (15-35-9), who were 2 for 5 on the power play. Curt Schilling Diamondbacks Jersey . -- Nathan Pancel scored twice as the Sudbury Wolves defeated the North Bay Battalion 4-2 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.baseballdiamondbacksshop.com/jean-segura-diamondbacks-jersey/ . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- Tre McLean scored a career-high 35 points and Chattanooga erased an eight-point halftime deficit to beat former Southern Conference rival Marshall, 96-85 on Tuesday night.Jon Elmore hit a 3-pointer with 45 seconds left in the first half to give the Thundering Herd a 41-33 lead.Marshall led by seven, 57-50 on a 3-pointer by Austin Loop with 13:21 remaining.McLean hit a pair of 3-pointers to bookend a Makinde London layup, and added a pair of free throws to put Chattanooga up, 660-59. Welington Castillo Diamondbacks Jersey. McLean scored 18 second-half points to fuel the comeback.The Mocs (7-2) have won four straight and are undefeated at home.McLean was 11 of 17 from the field and 10 of 13 from the line. Justin Tuoyo and Greg Pryor had 16 and 15 points, respectively, for Chattanooga.Elmore finished with 27 points to lead Marshall (5-3), which has yet to win a road game.
