It is hard to keep repeating myself but I

NEW YORK -- Christian Yelichs two-run single had chased Matt Harvey in the fourth inning and given Miami a 6-0 lead over the Mets.Tom Koehler appeared to have rebounded from consecutive poor outings, breezing through the first inning on six pitches after needing 46 to get his first three outs against Detroit last week.But a 4 a.m. arrival following their win over Atlanta at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, seemed to catch up with the Marlins.Travis dArnaud and Curtis Granderson started New Yorks comeback with solo homers, Yoenis Cespedes hit a tiebreaking, two-run double off Fernando Rodney in the eighth and Chris Johnson hit into a game-ending double play with runners at the corners. With a deflating 8-6 loss Monday, third-place Miami remained 6 1/2 games behind NL East-leading Washington and dropped 2 1/2 games back of the second-place Mets.This was the bullpens game to lose and we lost it, reliever Kyle Barraclough said. That was, just for myself, especially pathetic.Koehler, who attended nearby Stony Brook University, is an area native whose father was among the New York Police Departments first responders on 9/11. He has had problems early in games, entering with a 7.31 first-inning ERA.The bottom three in the Marlins batting order went 5 for 6 against Harvey, with Miami benefiting from the first of two video review challenges it won. Miami scored three in the second on run-scoring singles by Johnson and Koehler around Adeiny Hechavarrias RBI double. The lead doubled in the fourth when Harvey threw wildly past dArnaud to the backstop on Martin Prados bases-loaded, one-out comebacker, and Yelich followed with a single.Youre up 6-0, you feel like you should win, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. For us it needs to be a lesson learned. Weve got to keep playing. Weve got to keep trying to score, and you cant ever let your guard down.Solo home runs by dArnaud in the fourth and Granderson in the fifth off Koehler started the collapse.New York closed to 6-4 in the sixth against Barraclough when dArnaud reached on a bases-loaded infield single and pinch-hitter Kelly Johnson grounded into a run-scoring double play. The Mets tied the score in the seventh off David Phelps on Cespedes first double, James Loneys RBI grounder and Wilmer Flores sacrifice fly.Theres going to be hiccups, Koehler said of the bullpen. Its a long season. Its unfortunate that it all happened in one night, but at the same time its a good thing that it all happened in one night because now they can go back to being as great as theyve been.DArnaud reached on an infield single starting the eighth against Rodney (0-2), who was acquired from San Diego last week and had allowed just one earned run this season. Pinch-hitter Juan Lagares sacrificed and Neil Walker drew a walk before Cespedes lined a 97 mph pitch into right-center for his third hit.Were not going to be perfect all the time, Rodney said.After Ichiro Suzuki pinch hit leading off the eighth and doubled for his 2,990th hit, J.T. Realmuto walked to reach base for the fifth straight time. Loney charged from first and turned Prados bunt into a 3-5-4 double play, and Jerry Blevins (3-0) struck out Yelich to strand Realmuto on third.Jeurys Familia walked Marcell Ozuna leading off the ninth, and Derek Dietrichs one-out single put runners at the corners. Johnsons double play gave Familia his major league-leading 29th save.We just need to kind of regroup and win these next two and gain a game and win the series, Realmuto said.STREAKINGRealmuto has hits in his last seven at-bats, one short of the Marlins record.WAITING FOR ICHIROMattingly said theres no reason to pick the 42-year-old Suzuki for a final celebratory appearance at the All-Star Game. He just talked about playing `till hes 50, so hes got another eight years, Mattingly said. So maybe like when hes 49 we can put him in the All-Star Game.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins 1B Justin Bour missed his second straight game after spraining his left ankle Saturday.UP NEXTLHP Steven Matz (7-3) starts for the Mets on Tuesday night against Miami LHP Wei-Yin Chen (4-3). Left-handed batters are hitting .328 (21 for 64) against Chen. MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester United manager David Moyes says Wayne Rooney injured his hamstring before the clubs preseason tour to Asia and Australia and dismissed suggestions the striker is set to leave the club. Rooney returned home after only one day in Thailand and is expected to be out of action for a month, placing him in doubt for Uniteds first match of the Premier League season against Swansea on Aug. 17. "The day we left (Manchester for the tour) he just felt his hamstring tighten up right at the end of training and we thought there would be no problem," Moyes said. "But after the long flight we decided wed get him tested and scanned and have a look at things, and there is just a small grade one injury there. "We wont take any chances -- there is no point in taking him any further round the world, so weve sent him back and hell get treatment.dddddddddddd" Rooney wrote on his Facebook page: "Gutted to have picked up a niggling injury especially as training was going so well, heading back to Manchester to have it assessed fully but early indications are nothing to worry about." The early return provoked further speculation about Rooneys future. Previous United manager Alex Ferguson revealed Rooney asked to leave the club at the end of last season, while Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said Friday that the 27-year-old England international is a player he admires. "People are entitled to talk about good players," Moyes said. "I am being asked plenty about Wayne, so I am sure Jose will be getting asked about lots of players as well. "It is hard to keep repeating myself but I will do. Wayne is a Manchester United player and will remain that." 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 ' ' '
