LIS - Indianapolis made a tactical choic Antworten

LOS ANGELES -- Carlos Ruiz capped his most productive series of the season so far with another clutch hit, and made a key defensive play at the plate to help the Philadelphia Phillies win a series from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ruiz stroked a tiebreaking two-run double off Brian Wilson in the ninth inning, Marlon Byrd drove in four runs and the Phillies won 7-3 on Thursday night to take three of four from the defending NL West champions. Adrian Gonzalez -- whose fielding error in the fifth led to two runs -- tied the game 3-all in the seventh with a first-pitch homer to centre off Mike Adams, his former Padres teammate. But Philadelphia came back with four in the ninth. "I was basically trying to throw a backdoor cutter and it kind of ran back over the plate," Adams said. "Knowing Adrian from playing with him for many years, I knew he was going to be aggressive with the first pitch. I just missed my spot, and he did what he does." Ruiz regained the lead for the Phillies when he lined a 3-2 delivery down the right field line with one out after singles by Cody Asche and Ben Revere. Byrd greeted Jamey Wright with a bases-loaded two-run single after Wilson (0-2) intentionally walked Chase Utley and hit Ryan Howard with a pitch. Adams (1-0), making his third appearance after undergoing shoulder surgery last July 31 and missing the first two weeks of the season, pitched two innings for the victory despite allowing Gonzalezs homer. "Its been a while since I went two innings," Adams said. "When I came in after the seventh, they asked me if I could stretch it out and go back out for one more. So I said: Lets give it a try and see how it goes." Both managers lost replay challenges. The Dodgers were trailing 3-2 in the fifth when Asche, the Phillies third baseman, fielded Yasiel Puigs grounder behind the bag and threw home, where Ruiz tagged out Hanley Ramirez as he came in standing up without a collision. "That was a big play," Ruiz said. "It was a good throw. I was lucky because those plays happen so fast, you dont have time to think, but I got the ball early. I was on the side of home plate a little bit and he had room to slide, but he didnt and we got the out. I was still a little worried it would get changed because now with the replay, you never know." Dodgers manager Don Mattingly requested a review from umpire Mike DiMuro based on the new rule pertaining to home plate collisions. It took several minutes but the call was upheld. "Before the ball is thrown, you cant set up where the runner doesnt have anywhere to slide, the way we understand it. Thats what we see on video," Mattingly said. "We felt like it didnt have a place to slide." Ryne Sandberg challenged a call by first base ump Hunter Wendelstedt in the Dodgers sixth. Juan Uribe was initially ruled safe on a grounder to shortstop Freddy Galvis. After a review of several minutes -- and a few choruses of "If It Takes Forever" by stadium organist Nancy Bea Hefley -- the call stood. Kyle Kendrick pitched 5 2-3 innings and allowed two runs and 10 hits, including a two-run homer by Uribe. The right-hander remained 0-7 in his last 12 starts. Dodgers right-hander Dan Haren was charged with three runs -- one earned -- and seven hits in six innings while striking out seven. Kendrick, who gave up a two-out single in each of the first three innings, yielded Uribes two-out homer to left field after a leadoff double by Gonzalez. But the Phillies capitalized on Gonzalezs second error of the season to grab a 3-2 lead. The three-time Gold Glove winner botched a one-out grounder by Utley with runners at the corners, as Revere scored the Phillies first run. Utley was credited with an RBI, and Byrd drove in two more with a double just out of the reach of a diving Puig in right-centre. Gonzalezs error was the Dodgers 23rd in 23 games. NOTES: The Phillies entered Thursday with a bullpen ERA of 5.64, the worst in the majors. ... Ruiz was 7 for 14 in the four-game series with a home run, four walks and his first six RBIs of the season. ... Byrd had two doubles in three at-bats against Haren, and is 12 for 24 for his career against him. ... Dodgers pitchers have given up 14 unearned runs. ...

The Colts running backs overpowered defenders. And when defensive stops were needed, Indy came up with the biggest plays of all.Luck threw one touchdown pass, ran for another Sunday and masterfully milked the clock late before Indys suddenly stout defence snuffed out the Ravens final chance with a daring deflection to preserve a 20-13 victory.Im pretty sure he (Chuck Pagano) is trying to instil the same traits in us with being a physical team, cornerback Vontae Davis said of Indys coach, who spent four seasons on the Ravens staff. It was a physical game.No, it wasnt pretty.Luck threw two interceptions, had one touchdown called back because of a rare penalty on Reggie Wayne and couldnt convert on fourth-and-1 on the Colts opening possession. He still finished 32 of 49 with 312 yards and the TD, and his nimble 13-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter wound up providing the decisive points.Indy also lost two fumbles and two of those four turnovers a€” Lucks third-quarter interception at the Baltimore 18 and Ahmad Bradshaws fumble at the Ravens 10 with 1:49 left a€” made the finish infinitely more difficult. It wasnt over until cornerback Greg Tolers diving deflection prevented Torrey Smith, who had gotten behind him on fourth-and-3 with 32 seconds left.Indianapolis (3-2) has won three straight and now owns a share of the AFC South lead thanks to Houstons overtime loss to Dallas.They (Baltimore) do such a great job of standing strong in the red zone and not giving up touchdowns, Luck said. We knew that coming in. We talked about if we werent getting (scores) early, stick with it. Dont get frustrated.The Colts patience paid off with Lucks 6-yard TD pass to Dwayne Allen with 10:33 left in the third quarter, and then with Lucks TD run with 8:56 left in the game that made it 20-6.But it was a strange game.Both teams missed scoring chances in the first half when they couldnt convert on fourth down. Both coaches, Pagano and John Harbaugh, lost first-half challenges as they attempted to get spots overturned. The teams combined for seven turnovers, and Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was sacked a season-high four times a€” one more than his combined total in the first four weeks this season.Even Lucas Oil Staadiums retractable roof was closed at halftime because of the threat of rain, the first time thats happened during a regular-season game since the stadium opened in 2008.ddddddddddddThe biggest surprise might have been Indys surging defence, which allowed a season-low 13 points, limited Baltimore (3-2) to just 1 of 11 third-down conversions and helped produce a 17 1/2-minute disparity in time of possession.Flacco finished 22 of 38 for 235 yards and no touchdowns, and his top two receivers a€” Steve Smith and Torrey Smith a€” combined to make eight catches for 72 yards. Baltimores only touchdown came on Justin Forsetts 11-yard TD run with 7:16 to go.The predictable result: Baltimores three-game winning streak ended as it dropped to 0-5 all-time in Indianapolis.They came after us a pretty good amount. When they do that, when they come after us, its tough to throw the ball, and we werent quite able to make those plays, Flacco said. We needed to hurt them a little bit more. We needed to take advantage of that.In the first half, it was all defence a€” and all field goals.Steve Smiths fumble on the Ravens first offensive play led to Adam Vinatieris 38-yard field goal.Vinatieri made it 6-0 late in the second quarter after one defensive penalty gave the Colts a second chance to score a touchdown, and an offensive penalty later wiped out a touchdown pass.Baltimore finally got on the scoreboard with Justin Tuckers 52-yard field goal as time expired in the first half, cutting the deficit to 6-3.But in the second half, the Colts applied even more pressure with Luck and the ground game taking charge on offence and the defence holding fast, a strategy Baltimore prefers.(Against Baltimore) you expect things not to go as expected. What you do expect is a tough, gritty, down-to-the-wire (game), Luck said. We survived our mistakes, in a sense. We made our plays enough to get a win.NOTES: Recently reinstated Colts linebacker Robert Mathis watched the game from the sideline. ... Reggie Wayne caught seven passes for 77 yards and passed Cris Carter for No. 8 on the NFLs career list in yards receiving. Wayne now has 13,950 yards. ... Ravens left guard Kelechi Osemele left briefly in the third quarter with a sprained right knee, but did return.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
