and Clevinger struck out Encarnacion on the nex from corse178's blog
HOUSTON -- Last season, Houston outlasted Louisville 34-31 thanks in part to miscues by Cardinals quarterback Lamar Jackson in his first career start. Air Max 90 Nere Scontate.Things have changed.Jackson is now the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy and has No. 3 Louisville (9-1) in the hunt for a spot in the College Football Playoff as the Cardinals visit Houston on Thursday night .Jackson threw for 168 yards and a touchdown against the Cougars last season. But also tossed two interceptions, and a late touchdown pass by Greg Ward helped Houston to the victory.Were a much different team than we were last year, Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said. Right then we were trying to even find out who we are and what we were doing and everything was new to Lamar when he was out there ... just understanding the difference between high school football and college football. So I dont think last years game will play into this game at all.This season, Jackson has thrown for 2,898 yards and 27 touchdowns. He has added 1,334 yards rushing and leads the nation with 19 rushing touchdowns.His performance has helped the Cardinals rise to No. 5 in the CFP rankings with two games remaining. But Petrino insists that they arent overly concerned with the rankings and are instead focused on the Cougars.They just have to understand that they need to go out and play well, and play the type of football we are capable of playing, Petrino said. Really, thats what we need to do our last two games, and then whatever happens, happens. We cant control any of that.The Cougars (8-2) will counter with Ward, their dual-threat quarterback. He has 2,608 yards passing with 16 touchdowns and 429 yards rushing and nine more scores. Coach Tom Herman said hell play on Thursday despite leaving Saturdays game against Tulane after aggravating a shoulder injury hes been dealing with for several weeks and being bothered by an ankle injury.He is pretty banged up, as he has been most of the year, Herman said. He still gets treatment three times a day on his ankle that really slowed him down in the SMU game and in that stretch in October ... (but) hes going to play.Some things to know about the Louisville-Houston game:STREAKINGThe Cougars have the second-longest home winning streak in the nation at 14 games. They havent lost at home since a 31-24 defeat by Tulane on Nov. 8, 2014. They have won five straight games over Top 25 teams and opened their 2016 campaign with a 33-23 win over then-No. 3 Oklahoma.THE `OTHER BACKSomewhat overshadowed by Jacksons running success is senior RB Brandon Radcliff, whose 141-yard, three-TD effort helped ignite Louisvilles comeback over Wake Forest last week. His first 100-yard performance in six games gave him 768 for the season and an outside chance at giving the Cardinals their first pair of 1,000-yard rushers.BACKING UP WARDWard will have a new backup on Thursday after Kyle Postma broke his arm last week. Postma had surgery to insert a plate and screws in his arm on Monday, leaving DEriq King to back up Ward for the rest of the season. The freshman was a high school quarterback, but has appeared in 10 games with four starts at receiver this season. He has 228 yards receiving and a touchdown.NOTHING DOINGLouisvilles defense has stiffened since losing to Clemson, yielding of average of just 14.2 points and under 246.4 yards in five games. The Cardinals held Wake Forest to 214 yards -- just 37 in the second half -- and rank sixth nationally in total defense at 285.2 yards per contest.BACK AND FEELING GOODHouston LB Tyus Bowser had a career-high 11 tackles, included a career-best three sacks last week against Tulane in his return from injury. Bowser had missed the previous five games after a scuffle with teammate Matthew Adams left Bowser with a facial fracture.---AP Sports Writer Gary B. Graves contributed to this report. Puma Fenty Creepers .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. Nike Air Max 2017 Uomo .

Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is. CLEVELAND -- Marcus Stroman wanted to stay in the game after throwing his 100th pitch. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons didnt agree -- and paid dearly for it.Brett Cecil gave up a two-run homer to Jose Ramirez with two out in the eighth inning, allowing the Cleveland Indians to beat Toronto 3-2 in their series finale Sunday afternoon.The Blue Jays maintained their one-half game lead over Boston in the AL East, but lost twice in their three-game showdown with AL Central-leading Cleveland.Stroman worked 7 1/3 innings, striking out nine, and left with the bases empty and a 2-1 lead. Cecil entered and gave up a single to Francisco Lindor, followed by Ramirezs 384-foot shot onto the home run porch in left.I worked extremely hard to get my body ready to go seven to nine innings, the right-hander said flatly. I felt good, but at the end of the day, we lost the game. Its extremely frustrating. I felt fine. I felt fine.Cecil (1-7) exited the clubhouse and boarded the team bus without speaking to the media. The left-hander has allowed five homers in 26 1/3 innings and has a 5.13 ERA.Gibbons was eager to explain why he removed Stroman, who has thrown more than 100 pitches eight times this season and has a 9-5 record.I thought Stroman was great, he did everything right today, Gibbons said. I just figured with (lefty Jason) Kipnis coming up, we could use it to our advantage and also swing their next couple of guys around at the plate. They got the best of us.Melvin Upton Jr. led off the third by homering off Indians starter Corey Kluber. It was his third home run since being acquired from San Diego and his 19th on the year.AL MVP Josh Donaldson, who missed the previous two games with a jammed right thumb, extended Torontos lead to 2-0 later in the inning with an RBI single.Mike Clevinger (2-1) pitched 1 1/3 innings for tthe win, while Cody Allen worked the ninth for his 24th save.

Allen walked Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion with two out before inducing a game-ending lineout by Russell Martin.The series had a postseason-like atmosphere with thousands of Blue Jays fans at Progressive Field. All three games were decided by one run.Shout out to Canada for coming down and supporting us this weekend, Stroman said. The Indians are a team were going to be battling with down the road, so hopefully well see them in the playoffs.Toronto went 3-3 on its six-game road trip.MASS CONFUSIONHome plate umpire Ramon De Jesus called time while Encarnacion was batting in the seventh. Clevinger stepped off the rubber and was called for a balk by third base umpire Greg Gibson after time was given, and Ryan Goins trotted home from third. After a lengthy discussion, Goins was sent back to third and Clevinger struck out Encarnacion on the next pitch. I dont think anybody knows what went on, Gibbons said. Indians manager Terry Francona explained, They called a balk, but thank goodness there was a timeout. I just wanted to find out why he called it. Gibbons didnt think the sequence cost his team the game. You cant pick at that type of stuff, he said.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: OF Kevin Pillar (jammed left thumb) went 4 for 5 with two RBI at Lakeland in the first game of his rehab assignment with Single-A Dunedin.
