rrison to say yes when the Steelers called him in mid-September after linebackers Jarvis Jones and Ryan Shazier went down with injuri
SAN FRANCISCO -- Trevor Cahill figures he owes his latest victory to the defensive exploits of his right fielder. Having a guy like Paul Goldschmidt in the lineup helps too. Goldschmidt broke out of a slump with two hits and two RBIs to help the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2 on Thursday night. Martin Prado and Aaron Hill also drove in runs for the Diamondbacks, who won their second straight after losing five of their previous six. Miguel Montero added two hits. Cahill (6-10) won his third straight decision since coming off the disabled list. He allowed two runs and six hits in five innings, walking four and striking out three. "Its kind of like I have one bad inning where I lose it," Cahill said. "I got out of it with help from the right fielder." Gerardo Parra, the right fielder, threw out two Giants on the basepaths and Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson was ejected from the game for arguing for a third one. "He was feeling good tonight," Gibson said of Parra. "Hes accurate, hes made himself better and hes a dominant player out there." Brad Ziegler pitched the ninth for his eighth save. Pablo Sandoval had two hits and drove in a run for the Giants, who have lost three of four. Hector Sanchez also drove in a run and Brandon Belt had two hits. Ryan Vogelsong (3-5) lost for the first time since May 15, though he missed 69 games with a fractured right hand. He gave up four runs and eight hits over 4 2-3 innings, walking three and striking out three. "Vogelsong struggles the second and third time through the lineup," Gibson said. "It looked like he just lost it." Sandoval tripled home a run and scored on Sanchezs sacrifice fly in the fourth. Gibson was ejected on the play for arguing the call. Parra, who leads the NL with 13 outfield assists, made a strong throw that appeared to beat Sandoval. Miguel Montero held onto the ball as Sandoval crashed into him, sending both players sprawling on the ground. "I thought he missed it," Gibson said. Plate umpire Tom Hallion called him safe before Sandoval tried to dive back toward home with Montero trying to beat him there. "Theres not a better arm in baseball," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Hes as accurate as any outfielder. Hes electric and showed it tonight. He helped win the ballgame for them. Thats how good he is." Vogelsong retired the first two batters in the fifth and then didnt get another out, giving up four runs and five hits with a walk before he was replaced by Jake Dunning. "He just lost it," Bochy said. "He had two outs and nobody on and he had trouble making a pitch there. He got the ball up and made some mistakes. It got away from him." Goldschmidt, who was hitless in 16 previous at-bats, doubled home two runs. Prado followed with an RBI double and Hill followed with an RBI single.

Then Michael Pineda was suspended for 10 games for using pine tar.PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The game ball sat innocently in the gold-painted locker, an oblong tribute to a career revival no one saw coming.Not even James Harrison.Two months ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker was retired, weary from more than a decade as one of the NFLs most intimidating players.Now the 36-year-olds unlikely renaissance has his suddenly streaking team poised to make a run.From the couch to a fixture in the Baltimore Ravens backfield in all of eight weeks. Hardly the play of a guy whos lost a step, even if the five-time Pro Bowler is trying to downplay his re-emergence as the teeth of a pass rush that has rediscovered its inner snarling self.As old and slow as I am, (God) is driving the bus, Harrison said.Whoever is at the controls, the results feel awfully familiar. A half-decade removed from his prime in his first go-round in Pittsburgh, Harrison is back to doing James Harrison-type things as coach Mike Tomlin put it.Namely, creating havoc.A year after a quiet season in Cincinnati that seemed anticlimactic and sort of odd, Harrison is validating his decision to come back for a final go-round with the Steelers one foray across the line of scrimmage at a time.He has four sacks in his past two games, including a pair in a surprisingly easy 43-23 victory over the Ravens on Sunday night that pushed the Steelers to 6-3 heading into a trip to New York to face the struggling Jets.The player who served as a largely ineffective pass-rushing specialist with the Bengals in 2013 has multiple sacks in consecutive games for the first time since 2009, when he was one of the most dominant defensive presences in the league.Thats a lifetime ago by NFL standards, though Pittsburgh cornerback William Gay dismisses the notion that the expiration date on Harrisons effectiveness has long since passed.Thats crazy how we use the words old man, Gay said. (Harrison) is not old. Hes the strongest person in the league. Ill put any type of money on that.The proof is in Harrisons busy Twitter and Instagram accounts. Hours after beating the Ravens, Harrison was posting video of himself lifting the equivalent of a small pickup truck.On Tuesday, he did push-ups with 303-pound Steelers centre Maurkice Pouncey lounging on his back.Its that diligent commitment to his body that has enabled Harrison to say yes when the Steelers called him in mid-September after linebackers Jarvis Jones and Ryan Shazier went down with injuries.Though Harrison had announced his retirement two weeks earlier during a brief ceremony at the team headquarters, he couldnt resist when his phone started ringing with old friends asking if he wanted to get the gang back together for one last run.ddddddddddddHarrison insists he did nothing football specific during the nine months he was away from the game.I hadnt really planned on playing again, he said. Everything I did was just working out and staying in shape because I like to work out, thats about it.The first few weeks were unkind. Though he wont get specific, Harrison allows hed put on weight during his extended off-season. He looked like a player whose best days were in the rearview mirror as the Steelers eased him back into the lineup.He was a nonfactor for a month, his No. 92 largely invisible as Pittsburghs defence struggled to generate any of the chaos that has long been its trademark.There was no panic. Instead Harrison quietly went about his business, working his way back into football shape and mentoring younger teammates such as Arthur Moats. Harrison remained confident if the Steelers could find a way to play from ahead, the menace would return.The first glimmer came against the Colts. Up 25 points in the second quarter, defensive co-ordinator Dick LeBeau started to get exotic with his blitz packages. The results were two Harrison sacks of Indianapolis Andrew Luck.I felt like we were meshing a little better, Harrison said. We got a lead and when youve got a lead youve got the opportunity to pin your ears back and take off.At the moment, Harrison is soaring. He put together perhaps his finest game this decade against the Ravens. He sacked the Ravens Joe Flacco in the first quarter to cut short a Baltimore drive.He was chasing down Flacco in the second quarter, forcing Flacco into an inexplicable throw to nowhere that Jason Worilds picked off and returned 30 yards to set up the second of Ben Roethlisbergers six touchdown passes.While he left briefly with a sprained MCL in his right knee, Harrison returned to another sack in the third quarter, grabbing Flacco by the ankle to force the Ravens to punt with the game still in doubt. Though Flacco said he cant tell who it is out there, his coach certainly noticed.I thought 92 looked really good, John Harbaugh said.So did the rest of the Pittsburgh defence. Its not a coincidence, even as Harrison stresses plenty of work remains. And no matter how the next seven games go, this is his final go-round.Obviously everything happens for a reason, he said. I guess this is the road I was supposed to take.___Online: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFLCheap Barcelona JerseysCheap Real Madrid Jerseys AuthenticCheap Bayern Munich JerseysCheap Dortmund JerseysCheap USA JerseysCheap USWNT JerseysFrance Soccer JerseysSoccer Mexico JerseysCheap Germany JerseysCheap Belgium Soccer JerseysBrazil Jerseys From ChinaGermany Jerseys From ChinaAuthentic Soccer Mexico JerseysCheap Portugal Soccer JerseysWholesale Spain JerseysCheap France Football JerseysCheap Germany Jerseys AuthenticCheap Mexico Jerseys AuthenticWholesale Colombia JerseysCheap Belgium Football JerseysWholesale Argentina JerseysCheap USA Soccer Jerseys Chinacheap uswnt jersey authenticAuthentic AC Milan JerseysDiscount Arsenal JerseysWholesale A.S.
