LOS ANGELES -- With Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup at the same time after stints on the disabled list, the home crowd was buzzing with the anticipation of seeing at least one of them hit a home run. Edwin Encarnacion Authentic Jersey . They got one all right -- albeit from another player in his first start at home in quite a while. Mark Ellis, who hadnt batted at Dodger Stadium since May 18, hit his third homer of the season to drive in both runs in a 2-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Friday night. "It was really fun to get a big hit like that, especially in front of the home crowd," said Ellis, who missed 43 games because of an injured left leg before returning for a three-game road series leading into the All-Star break. "Sometimes you rely too much on your 3-4 hitters. But as long as everybody has good at-bats, everything will take care of itself and well be fine." Kemp was 2 for 4 with a double after missing 51 of the Dodgers previous 53 games because of a left hamstring strain. Ethier, sidelined since June 28 because of an oblique strain on his left side, was 0 for 2 and got hit by a pitch following a two-game rehab stint with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga during the All-Star break. Ethier acknowledged how much impact Kemp batting behind Ellis had on his fateful at-bat. "You can see what a difference it makes having a guy like Matty in that lineup to help the guys in front of him," Ethier said. "Tonight he had two hits, and you see how it changes the game when you see him on deck. So youve got to be around the zone more with Mark up because you dont want to put another guy on base for Matt." Clayton Kershaw (7-5) allowed a run, six hits and three walks over six difficult innings and struck out six. Last years NL Cy Young winner, who threw 27 pitches during his one-inning scoreless stint in Tuesdays All-Star game, worked with runners on base in every inning and stranded eight before he was lifted for a pinch-hitter after 110 pitches with the Dodgers trailing 1-0. "I didnt want to get pinch-hit for. I wanted to keep going, obviously, but I understand the situation," Kershaw said. "I definitely threw more pitches in the All-Star game than I would have liked, but I felt fine tonight. "I felt like I was throwing my fastball pretty good, but I just threw too many pitches. Six innings and 110 pitches, thats never what you want to do. But give them some credit. They had some good at-bats and had guys on base all night, so I had to continue to make pitches." Tony Gwynn Jr. led off the sixth with a bunt single while batting for Kershaw, triggering the pivotal rally. Padres pitcher Clayton Richard knocked down a vicious line drive by Jerry Hairston Jr. and threw to second for the force on Gwynn. Ellis, who was batting in front of Kemp, then drove a 1-2 pitch just inside the left field pole. "It should have been down, but it was up a little bit and he put a good swing on it," Richard said. "Its disappointing to throw well and just come up a little bit short." Javy Guerra and Ronald Belisario both pitched a scoreless inning and Kenley Jansen worked a hitless ninth for his 16th save in 19 attempts, helping the NL West-leading Dodgers send the Padres to their fourth straight loss following a season-high six-game winning streak. Richard (6-10) allowed two runs and five hits in 7 1-3 innings, striking out two and walking none for the third time in four starts. The left-hander has allowed at least one homer in each of his last five outings. "I just want to continue to progress and keep on getting better as a starting pitcher, get deep into games and give our team a chance to win," Richard said. "If you can do that, more often than not youre going to come out on top. Unfortunately, tonight wasnt one of those nights." The Padres scratched out a run in the second after Yasmani Grandal led off with a bloop double to left-centre that Kemp inadvertently kicked toward the infield after attempting to short-hop the ball. Grandal scored on a groundout by Everth Cabrera. NOTES: The Dodgers are 24-12 this season when Kemp and Ethier are in the starting lineup, and 24-28 the rest of the time. They have homered in the same game twice, both against the Padres -- a 6-1 win on April 14 and an 8-4 loss on April 8. ... Last season after the All-Star break, Kershaw was 12-1 with a 1.31 ERA in 14 starts. ... Richards only nine-inning complete game in the majors was at Los Angeles on Sept. 21, 2010, when he scattered eight hits in a 6-0 victory to mathematically eliminate the Dodgers from playoff contention. ... Ethier is 3 for 25 lifetime against Richard. ... Padres CF Cameron Maybin made a diving backhanded catch in left-centre to rob Ellis of extra bases leading off the fifth. ... Hairston became the fifth player the Dodgers have used in the leadoff spot, and he went 1 for 4. It was the first time he batted at the top of the order since July 28, 2011, for Washington. ... Two-time Olympic Gold Medal-winning volleyball player Misty May Treanor threw a ceremonial first pitch to her husband, Dodgers C Matt Treanor. But before she did, she shook him off twice and then motioned for a new set of signs. ... The Dodgers optioned OFs Elian Herrera and Scott Van Slyke to Triple-A Albuquerque to open up roster spots for Kemp and Ethier. Joe Carter Blue Jays Jersey .

HULL, England -- Lukas Podolski scored two goals for the second straight match as Arsenal beat Hull 3-0 on Sunday to move a step closer to securing the final Champions League place in the Premier League. Arsenals finishing was clinical at the KC Stadium, with Aaron Ramsey setting the visitors on their way in the 31st minute before Podolski picked up where he left off in the 3-1 win over West Ham on Tuesday. The Germany international ran onto Ramseys chest-down and rifled a low shot into the corner on the stroke of halftime and sealed victory in the 54th when Hull goalkeeper Steve Harper deflected a close-range shot from Ramsey into Podolskis path. The result moved Arsenal to 70 points -- one clear of Everton, which beat Manchester United 2-0 later Sunday -- and will boost belief after what was a rehearsal for next months FA Cup final. "We have beaten Hull twice this season, but it is a cup final and you cannot take anything for granted," Ramsey said, "but we will go into that game confident in our ability. "If we do well at the end of this seasoon, it could be our most successful for many years. Edwin Encarnacion Blue Jays Jersey. quot; After a winless run of six games that knocked Arsenal out of title contention, Arsene Wengers side appears to be back in form just in time to clinch a 17th straight campaign in the Champions League. Ramsey is back fit and Mesut Ozil returned to the starting lineup against Hull, giving Arsenal attacks more fizz and precision. Podolski is also getting a run in the starting team and he is rewarding Wenger with goals. "We have had to cope to five six players all out at the same time and we have done as well as we can," Wenger said. "You live in the real world." After Ramsey completed a flowing team move with a low strike from Santi Cazorlas short pass, Podolski delivered another devastating finish after Ramsey brought down a long pass from Olivier Giroud. Ramsey gave Hulls defence no peace with his foraging runs and he was picked out by Cazorla with another, the Wales midfielder having a shot saved by Harper. The ball rebounded out to Podolski, who made no mistake. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' '

You can watch the game tonight at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt on TSN2. Toronto is coming in on a high note after DeMar DeRozan led six Raptors in double figures with 23 points as Toronto downed the Houston Rockets, 116-98, on Wednesday. Jose Calderon had a double-double with 17 points and 12 assists, Linas Kleiza netted 19 points and Leandro Barbosa scored 15 for Toronto, which has alternated wins and losses over its past seven games. The Raptors shot 59.2 percent from the field and nailed 6-of-12 attempts from beyond the arc. "Im feeling more comfortable now since the beginning of the season...and were not losing the close games lately as we were earlier," DeRozan said. DeRozan has started 121 straight games for Toronto which is third on the franchises all-time list, just one behind Damon Stoudemire (122) and 10 back of Alvin Williams (131). On the injury front for the Raptors, center Andrea Bargnani is scheduled to miss his 21st straight game against Detroit with a calf injury but coach Dwane Casey expects the former No. 1 overall pick to be back in the lineup when Toronto entertains Milwaukee on Sunday. The Raptors napped a three-game skid to the Pistons with a 103-93 win north of the border on Feb. 22.

The Pistons started the season a dismal 4-20 but have rebounded to go 10-6 since and are a solid 8-3 in Auburn Hills since the beginning of February. adidas zx 700 prezzo .

Ronda Rousey is not used to showing her soft side. Wholesale Jerseys China . The UFC womens bantamweight champion is 8-0 in her professional mixed martial arts career, all by way of her trademark submission: a vicious armbar. The Riverside County, Calif., native usually opens up when her opponent taps out, but another way to get Rousey to release is to mention the Olympics, where she won a bronze medal in womens judo at the 2008 Beijing Games. "Its one of the things that humanity got right," she said. "The whole world gets together, puts their wars and politics aside, and competes against each other just for sport. Its one of the best ideas we as humans ever had." Her definition of the Games is not much different than her career now. The UFC roster consists of fighters from over 20 countries, including four former Olympians. Rousey is gearing up for her title defence at UFC 170 on Feb. 22 against one of those former Olympians, 2004 wrestling silver medallist Sara McMann. As the Sochi Olympics in Russia approach the end of its first week, the timing of the two events is not lost on the champion. "Its very intense and very life long and there are so many experiences that go into it that I still dont know how to feel about it," she said. "I get excited and I get nostalgic and I get idealistic … its just a lot of emotions that come up with every Olympics." Its been six years since her medal triumph, and although she has little time between defending her bantamweight title and focusing on a budding film career – shell appear in "The Expendables 3" and "Fast and the Furious 7" in 2014 and 2015, respectively – Rousey says she wouldnt pass up the opportunity to attend the Games as a spectator in the future. However, rich in competitive spirit, shes more likely to attend as a participant rather than to watch. "You never know, I might show up as a boxer one day." Wholesale Jerseys . The result was a game-winning, power-play goal. Chiasson snapped a third-period tie and lifted the Dallas Stars to a 3-2 victory on Monday night. Jerseys Wholesale . Virtue, from London, Ont., and Moir, from Ilderton, Ont., gave Canada nine points in the multi-stage event with a score of 72.98. Meryl Davis and Charlie White of the United States finished first with 75.Youve got a 13-hour day ahead of you. How much sleep do you get before a marathon broadcast like this? Sleep? What is this thing you speak of? [eyes slightly bugged out and twitching] In all honesty, Im a disciple of the James Duthie school of sleeping, which is to say... keep working until the red light goes off. I catch up on sleep when I can; naps are great... and I find my second year university macroeconomics textbook still works as a pretty effective tranquilizer. Whats the longest youve ever been on the air in one stretch? That would definitely be during my breaking news days on CP24 in Toronto. There was a massive rainstorm in Toronto on July 8, 2013. I still remember the date for some reason. I hit the anchor desk at noon that day. The storm started rather unexpectedly around 7 p.m. and wreaked havoc all night. I was on the air from 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. without a break, plus I had anchored three hours the previous afternoon. It felt like the storm lasted about two weeks. What do you eat before a broadcast like this? Do you carb up? If Im paired with an attractive female co-host, I generally try to avoid Taco Bell. For regular days, nothing that makes me too sleepy. Dan OToole turned me on to energy drinks before going on air, which can really make the broadcast go either way. For marathon days like March Madness, Ill attempt to carb up on day one for longevity and see how that goes. If it fails, Im resorting to the OToole method – apologies in advance. Do you have any special items you like to wear on air? Any lucky socks perhaps? Im a big fan of brightly coloured socks, but there isnt a single go-to pair. Ive been using the same man bag since I started my first on-air job in September 2007. With that, Im pretty superstitious. Ive been fortunate with the opportunities Ive been afforded, so I dont want to switch up the bag, even if it is getting a bit ratty. Ever worn jjeans and sneakers behind the desk? Not at TSN – yet. Wholesale Jerseys From China. Im still kinda new, Im not at the "Cory Woron" level of comfort just yet. I have actually worn shorts and flip flops behind the news desk at my last job. I used to walk to work in the summer, and if I didnt wear shorts, Id be a sweaty mess by the time Id get there. It was three parts survival, one part comfort. Whats the single most significant piece of info youve picked up from your March Madness research? That spending hours crunching the numbers doesnt really put your bracket too far ahead of the one that your neighbours dog "filled out." Which team is primed for a Cinderella run? Id like to see Stephen F. Austin make a run. Theyre a nice story. Their coach Brad Underwood paid his dues for 27 years looking for a Division 1 head coaching opportunity. It finally came this year, and hes got his team in the show. Theyre a loose bunch. No go-to scorer. They distribute the ball well, and have five players who can score in the low double digits. That, to me, seems like a team primed for an upset. Theyre #12 and taking on #5 VCU. 12 over 5 is the classic upset. I also wouldnt be surprised to see play-in winner NC State take down Saint Louis in the round of 64. And Im quietly cheering for New Mexico State; theyve got four Canadians on the roster, the most in the tourney. Who do you have in the Final Four? They seem to be changing by the hour. Right now? Louisville, Florida, Arizona, Michigan State. And a championship pick? Florida. Love that there are four seniors in the starting lineup – theyve dealt with this pressure before. Love that theyve built a program and arent a one-and-done school. Love that they dont have a superstar for other teams to key on and that they play a crawl-up-your-shirt defense. And it never hurts having the experience of Billy Donovan at the helm. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' '
