导出博客文章LOS ANGELES -- The maturation of Julio Urias is coming along quickly for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Casey Mittelstadt Jersey .The 20-year-old rookie from Mexico allowed one run over six innings, Corey Seager set a Dodgers franchise record for a shortstop with his 23rd home run and Los Angeles defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-2 on Saturday to even the series between NL division leaders.Urias (5-2) pitched better at home than the last time he faced the Cubs. The left-hander made his second career start in Chicago on June 2 and gave up six runs -- five earned -- and eight hits in five innings while serving up three homers.This time, he allowed six hits and tied a career high with eight strikeouts and two walks. He is 4-0 in six games (four starts) since the All-Star break.He kept getting stronger and executing better, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Theres a quiet confidence. Hes being more aggressive. Early on, he was trying to understand the major league strike zone. He can trust his stuff and be more aggressive in the strike zone.The defense backed Urias with two double plays.It gives me a lot of confidence, he said through a translator. A couple starts ago I started picking up my confidence. In the beginning I felt strange. Now I feel like I belong here and thats the biggest difference.Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth for his 38th save a day after allowing a run on a wild pitch in the ninth in a 6-4, 10-inning loss.I didnt have a lot of hours of sleep last night, letting my teammates down, Jansen said. I got to figure out how to be aggressive all the time out there.The Cubs four-game winning streak ended behind the shortest outing of the season from Jason Hammel (13-7). He gave up three runs and five hits in 2 1/3 innings.Jason wasnt happy when I took him out. He didnt want to go, but I didnt see things straightening out, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. Im not concerned about him and its not a lack of confidence in him.Hammel was coming off a poor performance against Colorado, allowing a season-high 10 runs (six earned) in 3 1/3 innings of an 11-4 loss. He remained winless in nine career games (six starts) at Dodger Stadium.Joe and I talked after the game about it but its not a topic for discussion in the newspapers, Hammel said. Theres nothing wrong with me mechanically. Im fine.The Cubs rally in the seventh came up short. They got to 3-2 on pinch-hitter Jason Heywards RBI single off reliever Pedro Baez.Heyward got caught stealing, and Baez walked Dexter Fowler and Kris Bryant before getting Anthony Rizzo on an inning-ending grounder.Los Angeles took a 3-1 lead in the third on RBI singles by Chase Utley and Justin Turner. Utleys hit was the third straight given up by Hammel to start the inning.Seager tied the game at 1 in the first, giving him the most homers by a Dodgers shortstop in franchise single-season history. He broke the old mark of 22 set by Glenn Wright in 1930.TRAINERS ROOMCubs: RHP John Lackey (right shoulder strain) will throw a bullpen session on Monday in Chicago.Dodgers: OF Scott Van Slyke wont play again this season. Hes on the DL with right wrist irritation after being out nearly two months earlier in the season with low back irritation. He doesnt have the range of motion he needs to contribute, manager Dave Roberts said. ... LHP Clayton Kershaw (mild disc irritation) will face hitters in a simulated game on Tuesday in Los Angeles, Rancho Cucamonga or Arizona.ALMOST HOME ADVANTAGEChicago fans are making the Cubs feel almost like home at Dodger Stadium. They chanted MVP, MVP after Kris Bryants game-winning home run in the 10th inning Friday. They cheered when Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully rattled off statistics about the Cubs impressive August performance during a preview of Saturdays game shown on the videoboard. The team has seen similar partisan crowds around the country this season.Theyve been so loud that if we turned our backs to the crowd, Maddon said, we couldnt tell if it was a home game or an away game.HEARING VINCubs fans in Chicago will get a brief chance to hear Scully wax poetic on Sunday. Comcast SportsNet Chicago will carry the live audio of Scullys broadcast during the third inning of the series finale. The 88-year-old Hall of Fame announcer is retiring at seasons end after 67 years in the booth for the Dodgers.The people in Chicago are in for a treat, Maddon said. After we get done with our games, I watch the Dodgers and listen to Vin on my iPad. Hes one of the great ones, like Red Barber, Dick Enberg and Ernie Harwell. Hes transcended the memories of baseball.AT THE TURNSTILESThe announced attendance of 49,522 pushed the Dodgers over the 3 million mark for the fifth consecutive year and made them the first team in the majors to top that number this season.UP NEXTCubs: LHP Jon Lester (14-4, 2.81 ERA) is 1-1 with a 4.05 ERA in two career starts at Dodger Stadium. The team is 7-0 in his last seven starts.Dodgers: RHP Brock Stewart (0-2, 11.25) makes his third career major league start after being recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday. He last pitched on Aug. 19 against Albuquerque, allowing four hits in five scoreless innings.
Sam Reinhart Jersey . Those lessons were more than enough to overwhelm the Utah Jazz. Lou Williams scored 25 points and the Hawks continued their offensive upswing as they rolled to an easy 118-85 victory over the Jazz on Friday night, winning their third straight and for the fourth time in five games.
Rick Martin Sabres Jersey . Halifax beat the Saint John Sea Dogs 7-5 on the strength of two goals apiece from Nikolaj Ehlers, Matt Murphy and Brent Andrews. Jonathan Drouin also scored and had three assists while Zachary Fucale made 17 saves for the Mooseheads (16-8-0), who led 6-1 after two periods.
http://www.sabresteamstoreonline.com/authentic-jack-eichel-sabres-jersey/ . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle. College basketball has become a guards game. No wonder Iowa State starts the season as a Top 25 team.Although there are serious questions about the frontcourt, the Cyclones enter Friday nights lidlifter with Savannah State as the No. 24 team in the nation for three good reasons -- Monte Morris, Matt Thomas and Naz Mitrou-Long.The three-headed backcourt will be among the best in the country, starring Morris, a first-team preseason All-America pick by some pundits. Thomas and Long are terrific 3-point shooters who can do other things, like rebound and defend.Add 6-5, 250-pound Deonte Burton, a power forward disguised in a guards body, and Iowa State will be able to attack opponents from many different angles.Those four guys are all upperclassmen and theyve got to be what makes this team go, second-year Cyclones coach Steve Prohm said. They have to be our mainstays.Particularly when one considers the holes left up front by the departure of starting forwards Georges Niang, Abdul Nader and Jameel McKay. The trio combined to average 44.5 points and 20 rebounds a game last season.Niang averaged 28.7 points during three NCAA Tournament games, capping one of the greatest careers in school history. He finished as the programs No. 2 scorer with 2,228 points and is Iowa States only two-time All-American.Prohm is hoping to get at least adequate play from a plethora of newcomers, two of whom bring extensive Division I experience. Graduate transfers Darrell Bowie (Northern Illinois) and Merrill Holden (Louisiana Tech), along with 6-8 freshman Solomon Young, figure to get the most playing time right off the bat.
Rasmus Dahlin Jersey. In Sunday nights 101-57 exhibition rout of Sioux Falls, Young scored 12 points and added four rebounds in 12 minutes, while Bowie grabbed seven rebounds in 12 minutes. Holden started and rejected four shots in 16 minutes.I thought Merrill, the first 10 minutes, his energy level was really good, Prohm said. I thought Solomon came out and did some good things. I thought Bowies energy level was good. Thats what we need from these guys.While the Cyclones are coming off a 23-12 season, the Tigers went 16-16 after being picked for a 12th-place finish in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. They qualified for the CollegeInsider.com Tournament, losing in the first round to Texas-Arlington.But Savannah State lost four starters off that team and is picked near the bottom of the MEAC again this season, as it has eight new players on its roster. However, its one returnee is 6-4 swingman Troyce Manassa, who led the Tigers in scoring at 12.4 per game while adding 5.1 rebounds.Savannah State coach Horace Broadnax, who played for John Thompsons Georgetown team that won the 1984 NCAA Championship, plans to build this team around Manassa.He can do it all, Broadnax said. He can score the basketball and pass the basketball. When we need someone to make a play, well put it in his hands.The Tigers wont be eligible for postseason play due to low APR scores. ' ' '
