The Year of Tanking sort of turned into the Year of the Mediocre Wild Card Teams. Frank Ragnow Hoodie . All four wild cards won fewer than 90 games and the four teams collectively won 352, the lowest combined total in the five-year history of the two wild-card era.That, however, doesnt mean one of these teams wont make noise in the postseason. The 2014 World Series was an all-wild-card affair between the 89-win Royals and 88-win Giants. While those were the only wild cards to reach the World Series since 2012, in the one-team wild-card era, seven wild cards reached the World Series between 2002 and 2011 -- with the 2002 Angels, 2003 Marlins, 2004 Red Sox and 2011 Cardinals winning it all.Some of them had high win totals -- the 2002 Angels won 99 games and the 2004 Red Sox won 98, for example -- but the 2003 Marlins won just 91 games, the 2011 Cardinals and 2007 Rockies won 90 and the 2005 Astros won 89. Id call these sneaky-good teams. One thing they all did during their World Series seasons was to have spurts of dominance; they didnt just plod along at two or three games over .500 each month.

But what about the officials? Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle. The League of Legends free-agent frenzy has begun, and the first big domino in the North American LCS has dropped. Adrian Adrian Ma has inked a deal with Phoenix1 and he will be leaving Immortals to join the club for the 2017 spring campaign.Over the four splits in Adrians career, the former All-NA LCS support has never failed to make the top four of the regular season, even winning the regular season crown last spring with the 17-1 Immortals; however, the World Championships have eluded him, his past Team Impulse and Immortals squads both failing to reach the top three over the course of the year to qualify.I appreciated my year on Immortals and the opportunities that they provided me. During the off season I carefully considered some of the many options I had and how I wanted to move forward for the next year. After talking with Phoenix1, I realized that they had two components that made my decision easier; strong domestic players in Zig and Inori that I would want to work with, and a fresh team that has a legitimate chance at making a successful run at playoffs. While talking to the owner, Michael Moore, it was very apparent that he took all of my concerns and ideas for the team into consideration. I feel playing for Phoenix 1 will help me grow, botth as a player and as a person, said Adrian. Tracy Walker Hoodie. Phoenix1 has also renewed the contracts of three of its starters from the summer split: top laner Derek Zig Shao, Rookie of the Split runner-up jungler Rami Inori Charagh, and Korean import mid laner Choi Pirean Jun-sik. On who will be lining up with Adrian in P1s new bottom lane is still to be decided, as the team is currently trying out AD carries in South Korea.We couldnt be more excited to have Adrian as part of the P1 org moving into next season. Were confident he will help us build on the success we found at the end of the last split. I think fans can look forward to watching a stronger, more exciting P1 next season, said Michael Moore, co-owner of Phoenix1.The inaugural split for Phoenix1 was two distinct halves. The club failed to register a win in the round-robin stage of the summer split, but bounced back in the second half to finish 8th in the league and make it through relegations. With a strong end to the 2016 year and a revamped bottom lane, P1 is in position to not only avoid relegation again, but fight for the postseason come spring split in mid-January.

WASHINGTON -- Atlanta Braves general manager Frank Wren said Wednesday that a tweet directed at Bryce Harper was "an inappropriate attempt at humour," even as both teams wondered when or if there would be further repercussions from the fastball that drilled the Washington Nationals slugger in the leg the night before. Authentic Drew Smyly Jersey . Harper took exception when he hit by Julio Teheran in the fifth inning of the Braves 2-1 win Tuesday. It was the first pitch to Harper after he homered to deep centre off Teheran in the third and trotted around the bases at a slower pace than his usual sprint. Both benches emptied, but no punches were thrown. Shortly afterward, "Clown move bro" was posted to the Braves official Twitter account -- a spinoff of Harpers famous line: "Thats a clown question, bro." "It doesnt reflect how we feel, how we want to do business or who we are," Wren said. "But thats really all I have to say about it. It was an inappropriate attempt at humour. And I think you shouldnt ever be directing anything -- unless its positive or uplifting -- at another team or an opponent. I think thats kind of plain and simple." The Nationals answered the Braves tweet-for-tweet, posting on their official feed: "Which part, giving up the home run, or drilling the 20-year-old on the first pitch his next time up?" Asked if he felt that was appropriate, Nationals manager Davey Johnson said hes also often guilty of speaking rashly. "I usually say whats on my mind," Johnson said. "A lot of times I say too much and Im too candid. But everybody tweets, I guess. Not me." Beyond the Twitter spat, there was also the question as to whether the Nationals would retaliate for what they felt was a clear beaning. Johnson said after the game it was something to file away "for future reference," while Harper took the high road by saying: "Its part of the game and its something, I guess, hes got to do." Asked on Wednesday what might happen in the finale of the three-game series, Johnson said: "Its just baseball as usual." Then he paused and gave a big smile. Johnson also told a story about the time he was hit in the shoulder by Jerry Reuss and suspected it because of a bit of trash talk directed at Leo Durocher. "I knew it wasnt Jerry Reuss because he was kind of a softie," Johnson said. "You say something bad to a manager, you might get plunked. If you lay down a bunt, theyd hit you. Now its going slow around the bases?" Johnson cited Harpers nagging knee injury as a reason for the slower lap around the bases. He was also curious why the Braves, closing in on the NL East title, would risk putting Harper on base in a one-run game. "When youre in their position, its remarkable that that would happen because they would have more to lose in a donneybrook if someone gets hurt," Johnson said. "But everybody has a different viewpoint on how the game is played." Authentic Fergie Jenkins Jersey . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead.

ATLANTA -- Two young right-handed pitchers trying to carve out their niche in the starting rotation face off Tuesday when the Atlanta Braves host the Miami Marlins at Turner Field.The Braves will start Matt Wisler (6-11, 4.76) and the Marlins will use Jake Esch (0-1, 4.82) in the second game of a three-game series that will be Miamis final appearance at Turner Field.The Braves (56-88) won the first game of the series 12-3 on Monday. Atlanta is 9-4 against the Marlins this season, 5-1 in Atlanta. Miami (71-73) was unable to make up ground in the wild-card race on a night when St. Louis and New York both lost.Wisler has more history on his side. He was expected to be one of Atlantas top-of-the-rotation starters this season, only to go through an extended bad spell that got him banished to Triple-A Gwinnett.Wisler went to the minors, corrected a few mechanical issues, cleared his mind and came back looking like his old self. In two starts since being recalled, Wisler is 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA, striking out 14 in 14 innings.But Wisler complained of pain in his side and the club skipped his start to give him additional time to recover. He showed no problems in two interim bullpen sessions, but is likely to be on a short leash on Tuesday.We didnt see anything that would keep him making his start, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said.Esch cant afford to waste any opportunities to impress at the major league level. Cheap Cubs Jerseys. The Georgia Tech graduate signed with the Marlins in 2011 and has gradually climbed his way up the ladder to make the majors this season.Esch spent most of the season at Double-A Jacksonville and went 10-9 with a 4.03 in 22 starts. He was recalled to Triple-A New Orleans, going 2-1 with a 5.70 ERA, before being summoned to the majors when David Phelps had to be placed on the disabled list with a left oblique strain.Esch has made two starts for the Marlins since being recalled. He is 0-1 with a 4.82 ERA. He lost his last start against Philadelphia on Sept. 5 when he allowed three runs and struck out six in five innings. He got in trouble after hitting Aaron Altherr with a pitch and Freddy Galvis followed with a two-run homer.If we get it below the zone in that situation, he probably swings of the top of it, Esch said. Maybe he hits a ground ball or something. I just made a mistake.The Marlins are expected to get right-hander Wei-Yin Chen back within the next week. He has been on the disabled list since July 25 with a left elbow strain. Chen pitched his final simulated game and Miami manager Don Mattingly said he was getting close.Weve got some open slots coming up and well drop him into one of those, Mattingly said.

Rashaad Penny Hoodie . 1.On Tuesday night, his first career game-ending hit moved his Cleveland Indians closer to their first AL Central title in nearly a decade.Guyer singled in a run with two outs in the ninth inning, lifting the Indians over the Kansas City Royals 2-1 to reduce Clevelands magic number for the division to six.Cleveland leads Detroit by seven games and hasnt won the Central since 2007.Guyer was acquired from the struggling Tampa Bay Rays at the trade deadline, and now hes contributing to a team on the brink of the postseason.Its kind of a first for me, he said. Were loose and not thinking about it much, knowing if we go out and play our game, good things are going to happen.Guyers hit off Joakim Soria landed just fair in the right-field corner and scored Coco Crisp. Guyer was the third pinch-hitter of the inning used by manager Terry Francona.Brian Flynn (1-2) walked Jose Ramirez to start the ninth, then fumbled a bunt by Crisp, batting for Lonnie Chisenhall, down the first-base line for an error.Catcher Salvador Perez threw Ramirez out at third on Abraham Almontes sacrifice attempt. Rajai Davis, batting for Tyler Naquin, hit a hard ground ball that deflected off Sorias foot and rolled to first baseman Eric Hosmer for the out.Guyer, batting for Roberto Perez, then delivered with the winner that fell in despite a sliding effort by right fielder Paulo Orlando.I wasnt sure if it was going to be fair or foul, Guyer said. I rounded first base and saw the umpire say fair and I started celebrating.The Royals, the reigning World Series champions, will be eliminated from contention in the division if they lose to Cleveland on Wednesday night.The ball was fair by a couple of inches, where you cant get to it, Royals manager Ned Yost said.Kansas City advanced a runner to third with one out in the eighth, but Andrew Miller (9-1) struck out pinch-hitter Christian Colon and Whit Merrifield before retiring the side in order in the ninth.Carlos Santana led off the third with his 33rd home run. Alex Gordons RBI single tied the game in the fifth.Royals starter Edinson Volquez gave up one run in 6 1/3 innings.JOSHS CHANCEIndians starter Josh Tomlin allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings.Tomlin, because of injuries to Carlos Carrasco (broken right hand) and Danny Salazar (strained right forearm), will be in the postseason rotation if the Indians advance. He began the season 9-1 but was sent to the bullpen after going 0-5 in August.Carrasco and Danny are a key part of that rotation, Tomlin said. Were trying to do the best we can to help win the Central and get into the playoffs and play deep into the playoffs.CALL US BACK, OK?Right-hander Tyler Plutko learned he was being promoted to the Indians in a most unusual fashion -- while he was a groomsman in his best friends wedding Saturday in California.They had literally just got done saying `I do and taking pictures, he said. It was in the middle of the wedding. I couldnt take the phone call right away, ended up calling them back and they said I got to get to Cleveland.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: OF Lorenzo Cain (left wrist inflammation), who last played on Sept. 9 at the White Sox, is traveling with the team.Indians: Pitching coach Mickey Callaway said theres a small chance Salazar will be available in the bullpen if Cleveland makes the playoffs. Salazar hasnt pitched since Sept. 9 but played catch at 60 feet Tuesday.UP NEXTRoyals: RHP Ian Kennedy is unbeaten in his last 10 starts, going 5-0 with a 2.14 ERA. His last road loss occurred July 1 at Philadelphia.Indians: RHP Corey Kluber seeks his career high-tying 18th victory. He is 9-5 with a 3.27 ERA in 15 home starts this season.

The Wallabies have lost 16 Tests in a row to the All Blacks at Eden Park since beating them there in 1986, and the Waratahs record isnt much better.They have won just one out of nine Super Rugby games at the venue.That win in 2009 was their first at the venue in 81 years and only around four of the Waratahs that played in that game will probably line up on Friday.Dennis, who will shortly leave the Tahs to join English club Exeter, said NSW couldnt get bogged down in negative statistics.History aside, we need five points over there, so if we start thinking of those stats its not going to help our cause, Dennis said.Weve got to go over there and win well.Back rower Dennis said having to go for a bonus point would actually suit the Tahs.Were a team that likes to attack, he said.Another side of that is defence as well. I think the Blues showed (last Friday in their win over the Brumbies) how well they can score with offloads, so we ve got to defend well, but also go in with an attacking mindset.

Lucknow:?Maintaining their unbeaten run at the Junior Hockey World Cup, favourites India beat South Africa 2-1 in their final Pool D match and entered the quarterfinals. Nick Nelson Hoodie .India scored both their goals from field efforts through skipper Harjeet Singh (11th minute) and Mandeep Singh (55th), while Kyle Lion-Cachet (28th) found the net for South Africa.?India, thus, finished the pool engagements with nine points from three wins and will now face Spain in the quarterfinals on Thursday.India started as favourites and the hosts lived up to their billing at least in the opening 20 minutes of the game. It was one-way traffic initially as India went all out attacking and forced South Africa to fall back and defend.The Indians attacked in numbers from the go but they seemed to fizzle out once inside the opposition circle.India finally tasted success in the 11th minute when Harjeet scored with a slap shot after being set up by Manpreet (Jrs) from the left flank.Pepped up by the goal, India stepped up the pressure and managed to secure their first penalty corner six minutes later but Harmanpreet Singhs effort was saved by South African goalkeeper Siyavuya Nolutshungu.After sitting back for most part of the first half, South Africa came into the groove and earned their first penalty corner in the 27th minute. Kyle Lion-Cachet scored with a powerful low flick to the right of the Indian keeper Vikas Dahiya.Minutes later, Gurjant Singh came close to restoring Indias lead but his reverse hit from close range went just wide. With a minute remaining for half time, India secured a second penalty corner but this time Harjeet fumbled to stop the push and the two teams went into the break locked at one goal apiece.The Indians continued in the same vein after the change of ends and had another shot at the South Africa goal in the 45th minute. Gujrant set it up for Nilkanta Sharma, whose shot from inside the circle was brilliant parried away by the South African keeper.Indias relentless attacks continued as they earned their third penalty corner in the 49th minute, which Nilkanta fumbled to stop but his reverse shot from the second chance was brilliantly saved by the South African goalkeeper.Desperate for a win in front of a cheering home crowd, India restored their lead in the 55th minute through a brilliant strike from Mandeep.Mandeep pounced on Harjeets diagonal pass from outside the circle and then unleashed a fierce reverse hit to beat the South African goalkeeper all ends up.Three minutes before the final hooter, South Africa got a golden opportunity to draw level when India conceded a penalty corner but the effort went wide. The loss ended South Africas hopes of reaching the quarters as they needed a win to stay alive.Besides India, England qualified for the quarterfinals from Pool D as the second best team although they have one more match remaining against Canada on Tuesday.

According the Toronto Star, a knee injury will keep Sundin out of the lineup, which includes former teammates Gary Roberts, Darcy Tucker, Tie Domi and Curtis Joseph. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Austin Allen completed 13 of 18 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns as No. 20 Arkansas won for the 10th time in 12 games with a 52-10 victory over Alcorn State on Saturday.Following a loss to No. 9 Texas A&M last week, the Razorbacks (4-1) led 24-0 after the first quarter and had few struggles afterward again the Football Championship Subdivision Braves (1-3).Running backs Devwah Whaley and Rawleigh Williams each topped the 100-yard rushing mark for Arkansas, with Whaley finishing with a career-high 135 yards on nine carries and Williams 126 on 13 carries.Jared Cornelius added a pair of touchdown catches and finished with four catches for 106 yards, his second straight week to top the 100-yard mark.Noah Johnson threw for 158 yards and rushed for 55 more for Alcorn State, which has lost three straight games.Arkansas entered Saturday 1-5 in its last six games in Little Rocks War Memorial Stadium, including a shocking loss to Toledo a year ago.However, the Razorbacks appeared right at home early against the back-to-back Southwestern Athletic Conference champion Braves -- taking a 24-0 lead late in the first quarter after Allens second touchdown to Cornelius.Ive always liked Little Rock, even going back to high school I always liked Little Rock, Allen said. So, coming here and pplaying well and getting the win is something the whole program really needed. Maurice Hurst Hoodie. The junior quarterback, in his first season as the starter, now has 10 touchdown passes and no interceptions in his last four games.THE TAKEAWAYArkansas: The Razorbacks did what they had to against an inferior opponent, but there are concerns -- particularly during a scoreless second quarter -- heading into the toughest part of their schedule. Arkansas defense struggled at times to slow Alcorn State, though interceptions by Toliver and Josh Liddell aided its cause. Toliver returned his interception 70 yards for a touchdown, the third time this season the Razorbacks have scored after an interception.POLL IMPLICATIONSWhile the Razorbacks are unlikely to make a big move up in the polls following a convincing win over an FCS opponent, theyre not likely to fall much either. Their best chances moving up will come from here out, with seven straight Southeastern Conference games to end the regular season.UP NEXT:Arkansas: The Razorbacks begin their most difficult two-game stretch of the season, first by hosting No. 1 Alabama before following that up against No. 16 Mississippi -- also at home.

The conference has said it will consider adding two or four teams, but has not committed to expanding.

India coach Anil Kumble is very impressed with the facilities at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Florida, which is set to host two T20 internationals between West Indies and India over the weekend. This will be the first time India will be playing international matches in the USA. The Central Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill, close to 50kms north of Miami, is the only ICC certified ODI standard stadium facility in the USA and hosted six Caribbean Premier League matches last month.I certainly didnt expect the facilities to be as good as what it is in the United States, Kumble said in Lauderhill on Thursday. I certainly felt that it could be a makeshift. I had heard about Florida and this ground, but very impressed with the facilities that we have seen today. Its the first time that Im seeing this ground and the wickets are good, ideal probably for a T20, and the practice facilities have been good, the outfield looks fantastic. So all in all, really impressed with the facilities here.Its a wonderful initiative and we are really looking forward to our matches here, its going to be a sell out. We know US...the expats and the huge Indian diaspora who are wanting for quality cricket to come to the US. We have played in the past in the West Indies and a lot of Indians come over form the US to watch us. So this is a great opportunity for all of them and Im sure this is the start of a new beginning in the United States and Im sure there will be a lot more of the Indian team in the US going forward.The two-match series is going to be the first of what will develop into an annual event in the USA as part of efforts to reach out to new markets and audiences, BCCI president Anurag Thakur had said. The Indian squad arrived in Florida from the West Indies on Tuesday, before they were joined by T20 captain MS Dhoni and fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah on Wednesday. Even though India won the Test series 2-0, the players from the Test squad are coming with hardly any recent match practice because of the rain-affected fourth Test in Port-of-Spaain where the last four days didnt see any play. Cardinals Hoodies Jerseys Sale. Kumble was still optimistic about the confidence the team would carry from his first series as coach.Of course the start [of coaching career] always makes it that much sweeter when youve had success and I cant ask for a better set of players in terms of what I want from them, Kumble said. They are extremely committed, very disciplined and you tell them what you need and they are ready to put their hand up and do it.This is the first time that Ill be working with MS, obviously we have played together over a long period of time and we had a chat yesterday and today as well. Im really looking forward to working with him and the new set of boys like Bumrah whos joined as well. Ive worked with him in the IPL so its nice to be a part of the India dressing room again.Describing the shift from Tests to T20s mainly as a mindset change, Kumble was also aware of the change they may see in their opposition. Ranked eighth in the ICC Test rankings, West Indies are also the T20 champions and will play under a new captain, Carlos Brathwaite.West Indies has always been a tough side, they are the T20 world champions, Kumble said. About the shift that we need to make from Test cricket to T20, the West Indies players may not have to do that because some of them are coming straight from the CPL. They are quality cricketers and have shown consistently how good they are and we had a tough match in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup as well. In terms of the quality that we are going to encounter, we are aware of that. Its going to be a challenge and I think the Indian team has done really well over the last six months as a T20 side as well so thats something that we are looking forward to.The Central Broward Regional Park has previously hosted four T20Is - in 2010, New Zealand played two matches against Sri Lanka, and returned in 2012 for two games against West Indies.

The move paid off on a major league mound on Monday.In his first big league start since June 7, Latos threw 4 1/3 innings, allowing three hits and one run with three walks and four strikeouts as the Nationals beat the New York Mets 8-1.Latos also hit a solo home run and Antony Rendon added a three-run shot as the Nationals increased their lead over the Mets to 10 games in the Nationals League East.I was pleased with the fastball command, said Latos. I was able to make some pitches when I needed to. I really had an out pitch where I could put away some hitters.Latos had a solid first start with the Nationals, but left the game with one out in the fifth inning with hamstring tightness. He will be reevaluated Tuesday.Reynaldo Lopez (3-3) was among three relievers to combine for 4 2/3 scoreless innings.Latos signed with Washington in June after the Chicago White Sox released him.

Montero walked three Nationals in the first inning, including Bryce Harper and Wilson Ramos with the bases loaded.Latos led off the second with a solo homer, before Daniel Murphy doubled and Harper was intentionally walked. The move backfired as Rendon then delivered his 18th homer of the season to put Washington ahead 6-1.Montero allowed five hits and six runs in 1 2/3 innings with four walks and two strikeouts. Over his last three starts, Montero has allowed 14 walks in 11 innings.Manager Terry Collins said Montero will not start again in five days.Its pretty frustrating, because he does have good stuff, Collins said.

ST. Cheap Patriots Hoodies Store . LOUIS -- Jorge De La Rosa answered a pair of pitching gems by the St. Louis Cardinals with one of his own. The Colorado Rockies offence woke up, too. De La Rosa held St. Louis hitless into the seventh inning and Troy Tulowitzkis three-run homer ended Colorados scoreless streak at 28 innings, sending the Rockies to an 8-2 victory Sunday. "I definitely think it was a big hit and it took some pressure off Jorge," Tulowitzki said. "He didnt feel like he had to be perfect, even though he was real close to being perfect." De La Rosa did not allow a hit until David Freeses two-out single in the seventh. "You try to stay calm," the pitcher said. "I think that helps, but I started feeling tired the last few innings. I think thats why I left a couple of pitches up and they hit (them) very good." Mets lefty Johan Santana pitched a no-hitter against the Cardinals last year. Freese flashed back to that game, which ended when he struck out. "You never want to lose a game. You never want to get no-hit, either," Freese said. "I remember last year it was pretty frustrating against Santana and it was creeping up on us. "So it was nice to get it out of the way." Charlie Blackmon added a two-run homer off Jaime Garcia (4-2) for the Rockies, who snapped a four-game skid. They finished with 11 hits after totalling three in consecutive shutout losses to rookie Shelby Miller and Adam Wainwright. "Jaime definitely had a couple of pretty tough acts to follow," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "He came out and looked pretty good at the beginning, and had a couple things happen that didnt quite go his way." Nolan Arenado, who singled with one out in the eighth to break up Wainwrights no-hit bid Saturday, was among four Rockies with two hits apiece. "Its too good of an offensive lineup to stay down too long," manager Walt Weiss said. "Tulo had a big home run that got us going." The Cardinals lost for just the second time in 11 games. Pinch-hitter Matt Adams RBI single off Matt Belisle in a two-run ninth ended Colorados shutout bid. De La Rosa (4-3) struck out seven and allowed two hits in seven innings, baffling the Cardinals until Freese singled sharply to right off the glove of diving first baseman Jordan Pacheco and Jon Jay followed with a double. De La Rosa finished his longest outing of the season, and his best showing on the road by far, by getting Pete Kozma on a lineout to first. De La Rosa entered 1-3 with a 5.13 ERA on the road and 2-0 at home with 12 scoreless innings. This was the fourth time he worked six or more scoreless innings, and he carries a 13-inning scoreless streak into his next outing. Tulowitzkis eighth homer and first on the road since April 9 stopped the Rockies scoreless streak two innings shy of the team record. They went 30 innings without a run from Sept. 30 to Oct. 3, 2010, according to STATS. The Rockies entered the weekend with the top offence in the National League and still led with a .266 batting average going into the finale of the three-game series. Tulowitzki was 0 for 6 in the first two games with five strikeouts and Carlos Gonzalez had been hitless in 15 at-bats before finishing with two singles and a walk. Blackmon batted eighth after being called up earlier in the day to replace Michael Cuddyer, placed on the 15-day disabled list with a neck injury. Blackmon got a nice ovation for his fourth career homer after mistakenly getting introduced as a player making his major league debut during his first at-bat. "Oh my gosh," Blackmon said. "Thats unbelievable. Who does that? It wasnt my first home run, but they thought it was." Colorado had five hits in the first three innings after totalling three and going 40 consecutive at-bats without a hit the previous two days. The Rockies have never been shut out three straight times. Garcia had won three straight starts before giving up five runs in six innings and falling to 0-3 with a 10.53 ERA against the Rockies in four starts -- his highest against any opponent. He entered as the career ERA leader at 8-year-old Busch Stadium at 2.41. "How many starts have I made against them?" Garcia said. "You know what, I didnt even think about that at all. Obviously, they have a really good lineup but I dont think about those things." The lefty gave up just two homers in his first seven starts and entered with a 2.25 ERA overall. Pacheco doubled with one out in the first to stop a 34-inning drought since the teams last extra-base hit, also according to STATS. The Rockies finished with five extra-base hits, including a two-run double by pinch-hitter Reid Brignac off Carlos Martinez in the eighth. The Cardinals streak of retiring 40 straight batters is tied for the second-longest in the majors since 1974, two shy of the record set by the Seattle Mariners from Aug. 14-17 last year, with Felix Hernandez throwing a perfect game on Aug. 15. Rangers pitchers retired 40 in a row in 1996. NOTES: Gonzalez had two singles and a walk and is 6 for 12 against Garcia. ... Cardinals pitchers had a 2.02 ERA the previous 10 games. ... Cardinals C Yadier Molina was 0 for 3, ending an 11-game hitting streak. He had five hits in the first two games of the series. ... Jay has a nine-game hitting streak with 14 hits.
