Milan Lucic Oilers Jersey Authentic .Cano hit a three-run homer to cap a five-run eighth, new closer Diaz got his first major league save and the Mariners overcame a four-run deficit to beat the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Tuesday night.Cano capped the comeback with his 24th homer, off newly acquired Red Sox reliever Fernando Abad (1-5). It spoiled what had been a dominant performance by Boston left-hander David Price.Thats baseball. You cant explain it, you really cant, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Thats what makes baseball great.The fans ride the roller coaster with us. At times, we are tough to watch. I get it, he added. But you have to keep watching because our guys dont quit and they believe something good is going to happen and tonight it did.The Mariners had three hits off Price through seven innings and trailed 4-0. Then Mike Zunino opened the eighth with a home run to left off Price, and Leonys Martin, Sardinas and Guillermo Heredia followed with consecutive singles to chase the lefty.Matt Barnes struck out pinch-hitter Seth Smith. Abad came in and tried to get a curveball past Cano, who hit it 394 feet for a one-run lead.I was just looking for something over the plate, said Cano, who was 1 for 11 in his career against Abad. Hes one of the toughest lefty relievers in the game right now. The guy has got me out a lot of times. I just try to put it in play.Red Sox manager John Farrell said Abad, had such good success against Cano. Hes working the at-bat in good shape. He got him to chase a couple breaking balls, missed one over the middle of the plate and that was the difference in this one.Diaz replaced struggling Steve Cishek as closer after Cishek blew a three-run lead in a loss Sunday night to the Cubs and allowed a go-ahead homer in the ninth during a 2-1 defeat to Boston on Monday night.

Aaron Hill had an RBI single in the same inning, scoring Jackie Bradley Jr. from second.ROTATION ADDITONSThe Mariners will add two starters to the rotation this next turn. LHP Ariel Miranda, a Cuban defector acquired in a trade with Baltimore on Sunday, will make his debut Thursday against Boston.

The All-Pro lineman got the leg bent under him while trying to make a tackle during the first half of a 22-20 overtime loss at Miami on Thursday night. The medical staff initially thought hed torn the ligament, and the test a day later in Cincinnati confirmed it. DENVER -- Pulled in the fifth inning, Jorge De La Rosa trudged off the mound. Not the way the franchises winningest pitcher wanted to finish what might have been his final start in a Colorado uniform.De La Rosa struggled with his control as the Rockies lost 10-5 to the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.The left-hander allowed eight runs -- seven earned -- in 4 2/3 innings. He also walked three and gave up two homers.With the Rockies wanting to get a look at some younger arms, manager Walt Weiss said this was likely De La Rosas last start of 2016. His contract expires after this season.De La seemed like he didnt have a great command of the secondary stuff like the changeup. It usually is his best weapon, Weiss said. It looked like he just didnt have a lot of depth to his stuff.Over the years, De La Rosa (8-9) demonstrated that he could win consistently at Coors Field. Hes 53-20 with a 4.31 ERA at the ballpark in 106 games with Colorado, including 99 starts.Hes the poster boy for showing that you can pitch in an offensive park here at altitude, Weiss said. A lot of it has to do with his competitiveness. He never gives in.De La Rosas toughest out Tuesday was pitcher Adam Wainwright, who shined in the batters box with a career-high four RBI as the Cardinals moved into a three-way tie with the Mets and Giants for the two NL wild cards.Wainwright credits inching just a little bit closer to the plate for his newfound prowess with the bat.My whole career, Ive fought trying to pull the ball and tried to stay up the middle and hit the ball to right field. It just doesnt work for me very well, explained Wainwright, who has 18 RBI this season. If its a pitch in the strike zone, Im going to swing at it.The free-swinging Wainwright lined a two-run double in the second inning and brought in two more with a bloop single in the fifth. Matt Adams and Jedd Gyorko homered for the Cardinals.The 35-year-old Wainwright (12-9) ddidnt have his sharpest command, yielding solo homers to Daniel Descalso, Charlie Blackmon and Gerardo Parra. Jean-Francois Jacques Oilers Jersey. But the right-hander was sharp enough -- especially his curveball -- as he gave up four runs in 5 1/3 innings.In a park like this, in a place where no lead is safe, a pitcher, if you can go out there and push something across ... youre doing your job, Wainwright explained.Wainwright became the second straight Cardinals pitcher to play a starring role at the plate. Carlos Martinez had a two-run double in a 5-3 win on Monday.Adams had a solo homer in the second and Gyorko added a two-run shot in the fourth -- a 452-foot no-doubter to center. Gyorko has 27 homers this season.DJ LeMahieus average remained at .349 after he went 1 for 3 with a double. He holds a slight lead over Washingtons Daniel Murphy in the NL batting race. Murphy is hitting .347.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: Third base coach Stu Cole was hit in the head by a ball that caromed off another during batting practice. He checked out OK after being taken to the hospital. The Rockies moved Eric Young over to coach third, and Vinny Castilla served as the first base coach. He got hit pretty hard, Weiss said of Cole. He got his bell rung, for sure. We wanted to keep him off his feet tonight.STARTING THINGS OFFWith his fifth-inning homer, Blackmon drove in his 75th run of the season from the leadoff spot, surpassing the club record of 74 set by Young in 1996.Im kind of upset that his record got broken, but Im glad it was me, Blackmon chuckled. I dont know if hed say that, but I will.UP NEXTThe Cardinals will send RHP Luke Weaver (1-3, 3.21 ERA) to the mound in the series finale Wednesday.
