ST.
Roman Josi 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. ... Tampa Bay recalled LHP Jeff Beliveau
from Triple-A Durham. ... Myers went 0 for 8 on Friday and became the first
Tampa Bay player to go hitless in eight or more at-bats in a game. The rookie
went 0 for 4 Saturday.
Craig Smith Jersey . Perhaps Carroll was so
prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle
Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to
add. We just have to get better," Carroll said.

all four games; so important to the overall quality of the game. ABU DHABI,
United Arab Emirates -- Wimbledon champion Andy Murray lost his comeback match
from a three-month injury layoff in the opening round of the Mubadala
Championship on Thursday. Murray lost 7-5, 6-3 to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in 72
minutes. Tsonga will meet Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of the exhibition
event on Friday, while Rafael Nadal will take on Spanish compatriot David Ferrer
in the other semi. Ferrer, who last week dumped his longtime coach Javier Piles,
beat Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland 7-5, 6-1. Murray, who hadnt played since
Davis Cup in mid-Septembber because of a back complaint, kept pace with Tsonga
until 5-5.
Nashville Predators Jersey. Even to that
point, Murrays rustiness was obvious with accumulating unforced errors. After
Tsonga broke Murray for the first time, he stayed in charge. "I was feeling fine
with my body and the knee, and this win over someone like Murray is going to
give me great confidence as I start the new season," Tsonga said. Murray, who
will take on Wawrinka for fifth place on Friday, said: "The court was very quick
and needed quick reaction. Tsonga was definitely sharper."
