The Winnipeg Goldeyes got seven strong innings from starter Justin Garcia and hit three home runs on Friday en route to a 6-0 victory over the Can-Am Leagues Quebec Capitales in the opening game of this three-game interleague series. Uggs Dames Outlet . "I thought I was balanced tonight," said Garcia. "My fastball was good and I was able to locate it." After only collecting one hit in the games first four innings, Casey Haerther led off the fifth with an infield single. He would end up on second base on the play after Quebec shortstop Jeff Helps throw to first was in the dirt. Two batters later, Fehlandt Lentini drilled one over the left field fence to give the Goldeyes a 2-0 lead. The home run was Lentinis fifth of the season and the first one surrendered by Capitales starter Karl Gelinas all season. Lentini helped add to the Goldeyes lead in the eighth. He led off the inning with a hustle double when the Capitales outfield was a bit lax getting the ball back to the infield. He would score to make it a three-run lead when Nick Liles laced a double down the third base line. Two batters later, Tyler Graham drove himself and Liles in with his first home run as a Goldeye. The home run, coming in the midst of a downpour, put Winnipeg up 5-0. The next hitter, Amos Ramon, greeted Quebec reliever, and former Goldeye, Tim Griffin with a solo home run for the games final run. Rain delayed the start of the game by 33 minutes. The weather cooperated until the eighth, when heavy showers began to come down off and on, although the game never stopped. Garcia earned the win to improve to 4-1 on the season. He went seven innings, marking the third straight start he has gone at least that long. He allowed only one hit, while walking four and striking out two. Brendan Lafferty and Patrick Keating pitched scoreless innings in their relief appearances. Gelinas, who entered the game with a perfect 3-0 record and 0.00 ERA, took his first loss of the season. He pitched 7 2/3 innings, allowing five earned runs on six hits. He struck out four batters. The two teams meet again tomorrow night at 6 p.m. in the second of three games in this series.

Pirlo limped out of Sundays 1-0 win over Udinese after just 13 minutes. Juventus says Pirlo underwent tests on Monday which revealed he has "a second-degree lesion to the collateral medial ligament in his right knee.PITTSBURGH -- A.J. Burnett walked into the Pittsburgh Pirates dugout after falling two runs down to the Cincinnati Reds in the second inning Saturday night when his catcher decided it was time for a little pep talk. "I told him Thats all were giving up today and he said Yes sir," Russell Martin said. "Thats his attitude. If you give up a couple, its not the end of the world. If you give up a couple, youve got to keep going out there, keep grinding." Something the veteran ace and his resilient club do better than just about anyone else in baseball. A night after a stunning ninth-inning collapse, Pittsburgh responded behind Burnett, who scattered four hits in seven strong innings to lift the Pirates to a 4-2 win and a one-game lead over the Reds for the top spot in the NL wild-card race. "Go out, its a big game, its a big series, you want to attack," Burnett said. "We were able to do that and get through seven somehow. I felt like I got stronger as it went on." Burnett struck out a season-high 12 against three walks and became the first right-hander in the 126-year history of the franchise to top 200 strikeouts in a season when he fanned Joey Votto in the sixth. "I was just focused, I was locked in," Burnett said. "It was probably the best command of that hook Ive had in a long time. I had a put-away pitch tonight, and its lot different when you have those." Jason Grilli worked the ninth for his 31st save, his first since going to the disabled list with a strained right forearm in July. Martin slugged a two-run homer, and Jose Tabata added two hits for the Pirates. Zack Cozart hit his 12th home run of the season for Cincinnati, and Ryan Ludwick added an RBI but Homer Bailey (11-11) lost his first decision since July 26. "The story of the game is we didnt score enough runs," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "We just couldnt get much going against (Burnett). We got some runs early, then he settled down." The Reds rallied for a 6-5 win in 10 innings on Friday, turning three unearned runs in the ninth and Vottos solo homer in the 10th into a tie with the Pirates in the race for home field in the wild card round. It was the second gut-punch loss by the Pirates in three days. In danger of falling behind the Reds in the standings for the first time in since June 20, Pittsburgh reduced its magic number to three behind Burnett and a bullpen thaat regained its composure after a pair of potentially confidence-shaking meltdowns.

Reliever Justin Wilson induced a double play to get out of the eighth, and Grilli -- an All-Star this summer after racking up 29 saves in the seasons first half -- looked like his old self while working around Ludwicks leadoff single in the ninth. "Im just a competitor," Grilli said. "I want the ball. I want to participate. Watching these guys do it for so long made me want to come back and do it with him. It was a big win, obviously, and a lot of fun to be out there." Bailey wasnt quite as sharp. Making his first start at PNC Park since throwing a no-hitter at the Pirates last September, Bailey was solid but not spectacular. An off night by Cincinnatis typically reliable defence didnt help. Alvarez reached with two outs in the third when Votto mishandled a slow chopper to first. Martin followed by taking a fastball from Bailey and sending it into the bleachers in left field to tie it at 2. Pittsburgh broke the tie in the sixth. Andrew McCutchen walked with one out and sprinted to third when Baileys attempted pickoff throw slipped past Votto and rolled to the wall. Justin Morneau walked to put runners on the corners, and Marlon Byrd hit a sacrifice to deep centre field to give the Pirates the lead. Bailey gave up four runs, two earned, and three hits with four walks and three strikeouts. "The loss is on me," Bailey said. "I had the throwing error at first base, I didnt execute very well, I made a couple of bad pitches. (The offence) gave me a couple of runs to work with early and I didnt take advantage of it. I gave them all back and then some." Reliever Zach Duke -- who spent six years in Pittsburgh during the clubs two-decade losing streak -- came on after Byrds sacrifice fly and immediately surrendered an RBI single to Alvarez that gave the Pirates a two-run cushion.
