| SEATTLE - Hisashi Iwakuma struck out a season-high 10 in seven strong innings, Mike Zunino and Michael Saunders hit solo home runs, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Minnesota Twins 2-0 on Monday night. Iwakuma (7-4) has not allowed an earned run to the Twins in five career starts, which spans 33 2-3 innings. After allowing a combined 10 runs in two consecutive starts to close out June, Iwakuma has given up just one in his two outings in July. Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his American League-leading 26th save in 28 chances. Kevin Correia (4-11) was credited for the loss despite allowing only five hits in seven innings. It was the fourth time in the last five starts that the right-hander has left the game with no run support, and the sixth time this season the Twins have not been able to score a run for him. The Twins struggled just to put the ball in play, tying a season high by striking out 14 times. Minnesota put runners on second and third with one out in the seventh after Kendrys Morales singled and Oswaldo Arcia doubled, half of the four hits Iwakuma allowed on the night. Iwakuma got a groundout to third and a strikeout to end the threat. Correia faced additional trouble after Zuninos 396-foot blast to left field in the second as Dustin Ackley singled and advanced on Brad Millers one-out walk. Correia was able to retire the next two batters, though, to avoid further damage. Saunders sixth home run of the year was nearly caught by Sam Fuld, but the ball tipped off the top of the centre fielders glove as he slammed into the fence. The shutout continues a strong run by Mariners pitching, in which the staff has allowed three runs in 29 innings. NOTES: Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said there are no updates on 1B Joe Mauer (oblique strain) and INF Danny Santana (bone bruise in left knee), although both are progressing fine. ... Manager Lloyd McClendon said the Mariners have not decided who will start Thursdays game against the Twins. McClendon also said the scheduled starters for the weekend series against the Oakland Athletics — RHP Felix Hernandez, RHP Taijuan Walker and RHP Hisashi Iwakuma — is not set in stone. ...

Marc-Andre Fleury, Penguins (3) - Surrendered a tough first goal against on a deflection through the body short side.Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. This week they discuss Toronto mayor Rob Ford, the new Hockey Hall of Fame class, the success of Manny Malhotra, and Adam Pardys helmet in Chicago. Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is down to Rob Ford, though not for all his various misdeeds, specifically. No, it is because he has ballooned into a globally famous Hindenburg of a mayor and he had dragged this citys sports along with him. When he threatened a Toronto Star reporter near his house he met the press in an Argonauts shirt. The first time he was photographed with accused extortionist and drug trafficker Sandro Lisi was at a Leafs game in a Leafs jersey. After the chief of police announced that yes, a crack tape did exist, Ford responded wearing his Raptors tie. And when he finally admitted to crack cocaine use, Ford - a longtime proponent of Torontos chase for an NFL team - wore an old NFL tie. Lets be honest, the citys sports scene is used to indignity but it is not used to it being inflicted by someone else. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is up to the Hockey Hall of Fame class of 2013 but in particular to the long overdue induction of the late Freddie Shero in the builders category. And build and leave an imprint is what Shero did. He last coached in the NHL 33 years ago but hardly a day goes by that we dont reference something he said or did. He was the first to use assistant coaches in hockey and the first to implement a variety of systems and breakouts, depending on game circumstances. He wrote on the board to his Philadelphia FFlyers "Win today, and we walk together forever.dddddddddddd." From the championship teams in Philadelphia, he joins the owner, the general manager, the captain and the goaltender in the Hall of Fame, together forever. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is up to Manny Malhotra who had the breakaway winner for Carolina last Tuesday against the Flyers. This represented not just a triumph for the Hurricanes, but a victory of the human spirit. Malhotra, of course, suffered what would, and probably should, have been a career-ending eye injury in 2012. Certainly Vancouver, his former team, thought he should have retired for his own safety. The Canucks pleas stemmed from the same genuine health concerns fans have when they see athletes like oft-concussed B.C. Lions quarterback Buck Pierce soldiering on. But it is never our call, is it? These men know the risk and Malhrd. We can only applaud. Dave Hodge, TSN: My thumb is up to the hockey moment that managed to somehow fit right in with all of the news coming out of the mayors office in Toronto. I neednt spell out the comparisons, but first, there needs to be a video that everyone wants to see. In this case it is Adam Pardy of the Jets going into the boards and through the glass whereupon he lost his helmet to a...how would you describe the guy? In this context, that would be dangerous, but Im safe in saying that the beer poured over Pardys head seems to fit. And the two fans were quickly removed from their seats and escorted out of Chicagos United Center, easier to do in some places than others. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' ' |
