HOUSTON -- The Seattle Mariners couldnt do anything against Houstons Collin McHugh in his first start against them this season.
Darrelle Revis Jets Jersey . Sundays game was a lot different. Robinson Cano and Willie Bloomquist each drove in two runs, and
the Mariners pulled away in a four-run third inning to beat the Astros 8-7.
Bloomquist broke a 1-all tie with a two-run double against McHugh (2-1) and Cano
followed with his first triple since June 3, 2012. McHugh, who entered with a
0.59 ERA and 19 strikeouts in two starts, gave up six runs -- five earned -- and
eight hits in four innings. He allowed three hits and struck out 12 in 6 2-3
scoreless innings against Seattle on April 22. "We had no knowledge of him the
first time, and the young man threw the ball pretty good," Seattle manager Lloyd
McClendon said. "This time I thought we had better at-bats, gave him stressful
at-bats. His pitch count was up, and we were able to take advantage of it."
Houston manager Bo Porter said McHugh struggled with his offspeed pitches
Sunday. "What you saw today was a Seattle Mariners team making an adjustment
from the last time they faced him," Porter said. "He didnt have the sharpness to
his breaking stuff like he did that day in Seattle." Brandon Maurer (1-0)
allowed four runs and six hits in five innings for his first win since Sept. 28
against Oakland. McClendon was proud of how Maurer got out of the fifth. "It was
a big inning in a lot of ways for him from a mental standpoint," McClendon said.
"I think he learned a lot. And I think maybe he grew up a little bit."
Danny Farquhar allowed one run in two innings for his first save since that
Sept. 28 game. Farquhar allowed a two-out single to Jason Castro that pulled
Houston within one run in the ninth, then struck out Matt Dominguez to end the
game. Alex Presley and Jonathan Villar homered, and Chris Carter and Marc Krauss
had two RBIs apiece for the Astros, who lost for the seventh time in 10 games
and dropped to a big league-worst 10-21. It was the second straight game with a
homer for Villar, who leads the team with five and his 14 extra-base hits are
most among American League shortstops. Cano hit an RBI groundout in the first
after Michael Saunders singled leading off and took third on McHughs errant
pickoff throw, which went for an error. Saunders is hitting .444 with four RBIs
in four games in the leadoff spot. Presleys leadoff homer tied the score in the
second. After Canos triple, Corey Hart singled for a 5-1 lead in the third.
"Just not executing pitches very well is what it comes down to," McHugh said. "I
just missed with a couple of pitches here and there. They put some good swings
on it, and that really took the wind out of the sails in that third inning."
John Buck, who had three hits, doubled and scored on Saunders single in the
fourth. Buck had two doubles for his 10th career game with more than one double
and first since July 20, 2010. Carter, who entered with a .169 average, hit a
two-run double in the fourth -- three of his four homers and seven of his 12
RBIs have come off Mariners pitching. Seattle boosted its lead to 7-3 in the
fifth when Jerome Williams walked Dustin Ackley with the bases loaded. Villar
homered in the bottom half. NOTES: The Mariners optioned OF Abraham Almonte to
Triple-A Tacoma after the game. A corresponding roster move is expected on
Monday. ... Houston designated LHP Raul Valdes for assignment and recalled LHP
Darin Downs from Triple-A Oklahoma City. ... Astros starter Scott Feldman, who
has been on the DL since mid-April with right biceps tendinitis, felt good after
throwing 60 pitches in a simulated game on Sunday. ... McClendon said there wont
be any pitch limitations on RHP Hisashi Iwakuma in his next start after he threw
81 pitches Saturday in his first outing after coming off the DL. "Theres no
reason why he cant go 100 or 105 pitches next time out," McClendon said.
Nick Mangold Jets Jersey . It was Wozniaks second defeat at Roland Garros by a world No. 1 after going out a year ago to
then-top player Caroline Wozniacki. "Ive got to bring my game up a notch at the
key moments," said Wozniak, who marked a personal anniversary in Paris.
Ryan Quigley Jets Jersey .com) - Auburn defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson was fired on Sunday, a day after the Tigers
lost the highest-scoring Iron Bowl in history.LONDON -- Cesar Azpilicueta seized
on a defensive blunder and Juan Mata scored a slick second as Chelsea dumped
Premier League leader Arsenal out of the League Cup with a 2-0 victory at its
London rival on Tuesday. The fourth round loss ends one route to a trophy for
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who failed to mastermind a victory over Jose
Mourinho for the ninth time as he looks to deliver his clubs first silverware
since 2005. Mourinho now has a quarterfinal to look forward to in the
competition that gave him the first trophy of his first Chelsea reign in 2005.
Manchester United will be joining Chelsea in the last eight after Javier
Hernandez scored twice in a 4-0 victory over Norwich. In a shock result, Fulham
was beaten 4-3 by second-tier club Leicester. Stoke was forced into extra time
against Birmingham but won 4-2 on penalties after it finished 4-4 over 120
minutes. West Ham also required penalties to see off lower-league opposition,
but won 2-0 at Burnley with goals in regulation time. At the Emirates Stadium,
Chelsea was in action for the second time in three days, although only Gary
Cahill survived the team that beat Manchester City on Sunday. Wenger made eight
changes for the side that won at Crystal Palace on Saturday to remain top of the
league. But in the cups, Arsenal has now lost twice in eight days, having been
beaten at home in the Champions League by Borussia Dortmund last Tuesday. A
blunder at the back gifted Chelsea the opener in the 25th minute after launching
a swift counterattack. Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinsons backwards header was too
weak to reach goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, and Chelsea defender Azpilicueta ran
through and dispatched the ball into the net. Arsenal rarely looked like
equalizing and Mata smashed the second into the roof of the net in the 66th
after Willian nodded the ball back to the Spain midfielder in a move that
started from a throw in. It left the home crowd demoralized. "Lets not go too
quick for conclusions," Wenger said. "Its difficult to swallow what happened to
us in the last week." But asked about his poor record against Mourinho, Wenger
quipped: "I dont think he scored the first goal." At Old Trafford, United turned
in thee kind of performance missing largely in the league this season and
Hernandez might hope for more game time up front after this double.
Darryl Morris Jets Jersey. The Mexico striker opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 20th after Leroy Fer fouled
Adnan Januzaj. He was on target again nine minutes into the second half, heading
home after Mark Bunn parried an initial effort. "He has waited patiently for his
opportunities and when he gets them he has taken them," United assistant manager
Steve Round said. Phil Jones volleyed in Uniteds third, and Fabio da Silva
collected a long ball from Wayne Rooney and slipped it past the onrushing Bunn.
Play had been halted for around eight minutes in the second half after Norwich
midfielder Robert Snodgrass was knocked out during a clash of heads with Rafael
da Silva and was taken to the hospital. "It is very much concussion," Norwich
manager Chris Hughton said. "He has also taken a whack in the incident itself so
they will have a look at that and X-ray that just to make sure there is nothing
broken." In a seven-goal thriller at Leicester, it was a night to forget for
Fulham. Although Hugo Rodallega put Fulham in front, Wes Morgan, Chris Wood and
Ignasi Miquel put Leicester 3-1 up by the 53rd. Fulham staged a comeback through
Rodallega and Giorgos Karagounis, who scored directly from a free kick in the
86th. But Lloyd Dyer restored Leicesters lead for good three minutes later. At
Turf Moor, West Ham left it late to see off Burnley thanks to two penalties.
Matthew Taylor scored the first in the 76th after Jason Shackell brought down
Kevin Nolan, and Jack Collison netted in stoppage time after being fouled by
Keith Treacy, who was sent off. Entering the final five minutes at St. Andrews,
Stoke looked set for a 3-1 victory against a Birmingham side that had been
reduced to 10 men on the stroke of half time when Wade Elliott was sent off amid
a mass melee. But Birmingham substitute Peter Lovenkrands scored twice in the
last five minutes to send the game to extra time. Kenwyne Jones restored Stokes
lead just four minutes into the additional period before Olly Lee levelled for
Birmingham. The clubs luck ran out, however, in the shootout.
