LOS ANGELES, Calif. Air Max 97 Undefeated . - With two strikes against him, pinch-hitter Lyle Overbay wanted to make sure he wasnt getting a fastball on the next pitch. Having abandoned his game plan by being overly aggressive on those first two pitches, Overbay got what he was looking for with two outs in the ninth inning. He singled on a 1-2 pitch from Paco Rodriguez to help the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 Wednesday night. Overbay, who drove in both New York runs in a 3-2 loss on Tuesday, scored Robinson Cano, who reached on a fielders choice groundout. "My game plan was to make sure the slider stayed up in the zone and I didnt do that," Overbay said. "He finally hung one with that last pitch. Hopefully he makes a mistake and he did." The Yankees added two more runs on an error by Dodgers second baseman Mark Ellis, whose two-out RBI single drove in the winning run Tuesday. Ronald Belisario (4-6) got two outs in the ninth inning, but took the loss. He walked Derek Jeter and pinch-hitter Ichiro Suzuki, who both scored after Belisario was relieved by Rodriguez. Suzuki and Overbay scored when Ellis dropped a fly ball by Jayson Nix in shallow right field. Yasiel Puig came running in as Ellis was tracking the ball with his back to the rookie, whose left hand struck Ellis glove as the ball dropped. "It was just a popup in a weird spot and I dropped it," Ellis said. "I heard him at the last minute, but it was too late to get out of the way. Its a play that we have all the time. Its hard to hear out there." Boone Logan (3-2) got the win in relief. Mariano Rivera retired the side in order while striking out two in the ninth to earn his 34th save in 36 chances in his farewell season. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly was ejected in the ninth for arguing a checked swing call on Overbay. Former Dodgers pitcher Hiroki Kuroda and current Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw dueled for much of the game, with neither allowing a run. Both gave up five hits — all singles. Kuroda struck out eight and walked one in seven innings in returning to Dodger Stadium for the first time since 2011. "It was a little bit strange, but once the game started I was able to get into a rhythm," Kuroda said through a Japanese translator. "The Dodgers have a great lineup and I needed to be on my A game." Kershaw struck out five and walked none in eight innings to lower his major league-leading ERA to 1.87. Jeter went 0 for 7 with a walk as the Yankees gained a split in the two-game series. "Weve been battling since Ive been here," he said. "Hopefully we can build on this." Both teams had scoring chances in the seventh and eighth innings. The Yankees had runners on first and second with two outs in the eighth when Brett Gardner flied out to left field for the third out. The Dodgers had runners on first and second with two outs in the seventh before Skip Schumaker struck out swinging to end the inning.

How great will be revealed in the next couple of days at the board of governors meeting in Pebble Beach, Calif.CROMWELL, Conn. - U.S. Open champion Justin Rose has no plans to take any time off after winning his first major championship. Nathan Grube, the tournament director at the Travelers Championship, said Roses wife, Kate, called shortly after he won his first major title, to confirm they would be in Connecticut for this weeks tournament. "She called last night at about 9:30 and I looked down at the phone and said, This is either going to be a really good call or a really bad call," Grube said Monday. "It was fine. She said, Were coming, were just trying to rearrange our schedule a little bit because of all the media (commitments)." The Travelers held its opening ceremony on Monday morning, marking the 61st straight year the PGA Tour has visited greater Hartford and the seventh under its current name. Andy Bessette, the chief administrative officer and executive vice-president of the insurance giant, said the company is in negotiations to remain the title sponsor of the Connecticut PGA stop, and expects to finalize a deal before this summer. "As long they want us, were going to figure out how to make this work, and get this done before September 30th," Bessette said. The company took over the title sponsorship in 2006, after the tournament had been eliminated from the 2007 PGA schedule because of a lack of a sponsor. The TPC River Highlands was set to beecome a Champions Tour stop, when another tournament dropped out of the PGA schedule, opening a window for Hartford. Air Max 97 Metallic Red Bronze. Travelers agreed to help get the event back in the PGA mix, and Bessette said it turned out to be a great move for the company and the region. "Were only one of five community-based sponsors on the Tour, five out of 45," he said. "So to be a hometown sponsor and do good for the community, give back to charity, its critical." Travellers also has committed to fund a special program that the tournament and PGA plan to run in Newtown, Conn., site of the December massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, Grube and Bessette said. The tournament will provide golf lessons in the towns elementary schools and through summer camps as part of the First Tee program, a youth development organization designed to teach values such as honesty and integrity through the sport. "There were a lot of ideas on the table," Grube said. "This was something the town told us would help in healing process. Were doing some other things, but the town has asked that we keep those off the radar." The golf tournament begins Wednesday with the annual pro-am, and a new twist this year, a celebrity mini-golf pro-am. Actors Alec Baldwin and CJ Adams, former UConn basketball players and WWE stars are among those scheduled to participate. 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 ' ' '
