MILWAUKEE - Aaron Hicks homered, doubled and scored the winning run in the 14th
inning.
Nelson Agholor Eagles Jersey . It was a
defensive play in the second that he was happiest about. Pinch-hitter Eduardo
Escobar hit a sacrifice fly with one out in the 14th inning to score Hicks on
Tuesday night, lifting the Minnesota Twins to a 6-5 victory over the Milwaukee
Brewers, who got six hits from Jean Segura. Hicks made a leaping grab at the
centre field wall to rob Carlos Gomez of a home run in the second. Gomez watched
in disbelief and then tipped his cap to Hicks. "I really like that catch," Hicks
said. "I was kind of in the corner. It definitely was a tough catch. I didnt
even know where I was. It was kind of one of those catches where you have to
focus on the ball the whole time you are running. You have to go hard all the
way." Segura went 6 for 7 — all singles — to raise his batting average to an
NL-leading .365 but Milwaukee lost for the fourth straight time and 20th in 25
games. "Oh my, goodness gracious, he hits about everything you throw up there,"
Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. "The guys got one of the shortest,
compact swings youve ever seen in your life and he seems to be on everything."
It was only the third time a Brewers player had six hits in a game, tying the
team record set by Johnny Briggs in 1973 and Kevin Reimer in 1993. Ryan Doumit,
Josh Willingham and Hicks homered for the Twins, which have won three of four
after dropping 10 straight. Hicks hit the first pitch from reliever Burke
Badenhop (0-2) for a ground-rule double to lead off the 14th. Pedro Florimon,
who made a baserunning blunder to get thrown out at third in the 12th, executed
a sacrifice bunt to move Hicks to third. Escobar then hit a 1-0 pitch to deep
left, and Hicks scored with a slide that was a couple seconds ahead of the throw
from Ryan Braun to give the Twins the lead. Despite sitting for nearly 4 1/2
hours, Escobar said he stayed ready by hitting in a batting cage near the
dugout. "Its my opportunity right there," Escobar said. "Its my chance. I got a
good swing." The loss was another in a series of deflating games for Milwaukee.
"Its a tough loss," manager Ron Roenicke said. "Any time you go that many
innings and lose its tough. We played well, came back to tie it in the ninth but
couldnt put together any offence after that." Ryan Pressly (2-0) pitched two
perfect innings of relief to earn the victory. Brian Duensing worked the bottom
of the 14th for his first save in two chances. After Minnesota blew a 4-0 lead,
Justin Morneau had a sacrifice fly in the eighth to give the Twins a 5-4 lead.
Milwaukee tied it at 5 in the bottom of the ninth on Seguras fifth single of the
game, scoring Jeff Bianchi from second as Twins closer Glen Perkins blew his
second save. All three Twins homers were off Milwaukee starter Alfredo Figaro
and the Twins opened a 4-0 lead in the fourth. Milwaukee scored three runs in
the fourth and one in the fifth off Minnesota starter Scott Diamond to tie the
score 4-all. Figaro allowed four runs on four hits and a walk while striking out
four in five innings. Doumit hit a two-run homer in the second, and Willingham
hit a solo shot in the fourth. Three batters later, Hicks hit his fourth homer
to make it 4-0. Diamond gave up four runs on eight hits with two strikeouts over
4 2-3 innings. The Brewers cut it to 4-3 in the bottom of the fourth on a
two-run double by Ramirez and a double by Jonathan Lucroy. Milwaukee tied it in
the fifth on a two-out single by Segura and a triple off the right field wall by
Braun. Braun went 2 for 5 after missing Mondays game to rest a sore thumb.

. It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he
was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind
the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful
American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in
the last two days.BOSTON - Colby Rasmus wont play again this season, placed on
the 15-day disabled list on Saturday with a left eye contusion. “It could have
been ugly,” said manager John Gibbons. It certainly could have. Rasmus was
injured taking his position in the first inning of Friday nights game. As he
jogged toward centre field, Anthony Gose threw a warm up toss from his spot in
right field. Problem was, Rasmus wasnt looking and the throw was spot on,
hitting Rasmus in the face. He left the game immediately. “Preliminary x-rays,
everything looks good,” said Gibbons. “They still want a few days, when the
swelling and everything subsides, to get a few more looks.” The timing is cruel
to Rasmus. He had just returned from a month on the disabled list with a
strained left oblique. Rasmus hit a home run in each of the four games he
played. He was due to lead off the second inning of Fridays game.
Marcus Smith Eagles Jersey. . Instead, Rasmus
season ends with a slash line of .276/.338/.501. His .840 OPS is easily his best
since his breakout 2010 season with the Cardinals (.859.) Rasmus hit 22 home
runs in 118 games. His career best of 23, set in 2010 and 2012, was achieved in
144 and 151 games, respectively. The Blue Jays are down to four outfielders and
will, at some point soon, go as many as three days without Rajai Davis. Davis
wife is past due with the couples first child and so a trip to the paternity
list is imminent. That would leave Anthony Gose, Moises Sierra and Kevin Pillar
to man the three outfield spots. There also are other options. “Well make do,”
said Gibbons. “Were at the end here, we dont have a whole lot of time left
anyway but DeRosas played some outfield, Kawasaki could go out there. Weve got
some guys who could do it.”
