Couples was wrong to have named the scuffling Tiger Woods to his squad. Ultimately Norman might be proved correct, but really, he should tend his own garden. Initially the Presidents Cup was a splendid antidote to the over-amped Ryder Cup. It was a

CHICAGO -- Joe Mather changed uniform numbers and did a pretty good impression of the player that inspired him to wear No. Carson Palmer Jersey . 21. With reinforcements on the way in Chicago, more positive changes might be coming for the Cubs. Mather homered and Travis Wood outpitched Johan Santana, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 6-1 victory over the New York Mets on Monday night to snap a four-game skid. Mather swapped his No. 16 for 21 earlier in the day to honour Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente. "I had it in high school, its always been a favourite number of mine," Mather said. "I always see the highlight of Roberto Clemente running around. I see the 21 on his back and I like that. I always wanted myself to look like that." He broke it in by hitting a two-run shot over the left-centre field wall off Santana after a two-out walk to Geovany Soto to give Chicago a 2-0 lead in the fourth. That was all the run support Wood (2-3) would need. He struck out six and scattered five hits over seven scoreless innings to earn his second straight victory. "The life on his fastball was about as good as weve all seen it," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "He was beating guys that are good fastball hitters. He was beating them all night." The 25-year-old lefty has given up just eight runs in 31 2-3 innings this month. Four of those five starts came against former Cy Young Award winners. "You always want to bring your A-game, but when youre going against guys like Johan, you know you have to bring it," said Wood, who beat Jake Peavy in his last start. He has also faced Justin Verlander and Barry Zito this month. The Cubs scored four unearned runs in the seventh inning with help from three Mets errors, including three-base miscues by third baseman David Wright and right fielder Lucas Duda. Chicago beat a left-hander for just the fourth time in 20 chances this year. Santana (5-4), a two-time Cy Young winner, gave up five hits and two runs over six innings. He struck out six and walked three. The Cubs threatened to add on in the sixth with runners on second and third and one out, but Santana struck out Soto looking, and after walking Mather, got Luis Valbuena to ground out to strand three. "Thats the thing about baseball you always have to execute and do the little things," Santana said. "The little things make the difference and that made the difference tonight. One little pitch and one little mistake changed the ballgame." Wright singled in the seventh to extend his hitting streak to 15 games. Ike Davis homered with two outs in the ninth for the Mets. The Wrigley Field wind played a big role in Chicagos four-run seventh as a pair of popups each turned into three-base errors. Pinch-hitter Adrian Cardenas led off with a high pop in front of home plate. Catcher Mike Nickeas yielded to Wright, who fumbled the ball toward the backstop. Two batters later, Darwin Barneys bloop to right field was dropped and booted away by a running Lucas Duda. It got even uglier when Ronny Cedeno misplayed Starlin Castros grounder with the infield in, allowing Barney to score. "Its that kind of night. We dont make those mistakes," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "Unfortunately it came back tonight to haunt us." Collins had expressed concern about his teams energy when talking with reporters before the game. The team didnt get into Chicago until 4 a.m. Monday morning after losing two of three to the Yankees in an exhausting weekend series. New York mustered six hits and didnt score until Davis home run off of James Russell with two outs in the ninth. "We were a little flat," Collins said. "Theyre human beings and the adrenaline knock out for a while, and the fact that they got about probably five or six hours of sleep didnt help either." Though they didnt need it Monday, help is on the way for a scuffling Cubs offence, which had scored the fourth fewest runs in the majors coming into play Monday. Sveum confirmed that highly touted prospect Anthony Rizzo would be promoted on Tuesday. The 22-year-old left-handed first baseman is hitting .345 with 23 homers and 62 RBIs in 69 games at Triple-A Iowa. NOTES: The Mets designated OF Vinny Rottino for assignment and selected the contract of LHP Justin Hampson from Triple-A Buffalo. Hampson, 32, had not pitched in the majors since Sept. 28, 2008, with San Diego. He tossed a scoreless eighth. ... Collins said RHP Bobby Parnell will be the teams closer with Frank Francisco (left oblique strain) on the 15-day DL. ... OF Jason Bay (concussion) rode a stationary bike on Monday. He is scheduled to begin baseball activities by the weekend according to Collins. ... Cubs RHP Ryan Dempster (right lat tightness) threw off of flat ground Monday and it "went well," according to Sveum. Dempster is eligible to come off the DL on Sunday, but Sveum said a July 6 return in New York is more likely. ... RHP Dillon Gee (5-5, 4.27 ERA) will take the hill for the Mets in the middle game of the series on Tuesday against RHP Randy Wells (1-2, 4.91). Karl Mecklenburg Jersey . Torii Hunter added a two-run homer and scored three times to help Los Angeles complete a three-game sweep. On a day when the ball was flying out of hitter-friendly Coors Field, the Angels scored nine times in the first four innings. Aaron Hernandez Jersey . - After a listless first period, the St. http://www.cheapnewenglandpatriotsjersey.com/vince-wilfork-jersey . After the Texas Rangers slugger had maybe the best week ever in baseball, there will be talk about the single-season home run record. Ryan Clark Jersey . Camilo Sanvezzos goal in the 11th minute was all the Whitecaps needed to defeat FC Dallas 1-0 in Major League Soccer action Saturday night. Mark Sanchez Jersey . Capello has reportedly been in talks with Chelsea about taking over at Stamford Bridge. The 65-year-old Capello says hes aware of the reports, and adds: "I will not go to Chelsea.Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. This week they discuss the Canucks shaking things up, Jay Cutler living up to his rep, Greg Norman calling out Couples, and the Suck for Luck campaign. Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is up to Vancouver, for showing us that a city can go a little bit crazy over hockey without any windows being broken. After some home fans booed Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo during Vancouvers slow start, one of the local papers wrote an editorial - in the news section - proposing the Canucks swap him for Vinny Lecavalier. This bout of silliness prompted Canucks general manager Mike Gillis to threaten vague retaliation, and to express his dissatisfaction with the editorial in question in a radio interview, which prompted the radio hosts to blame society nowadays for anonymous attacks, and on and on. This is what happens in a hothouse town when success raises expectations all the way up; now we get to see how Vancouver handles it. The rest of the country, meanwhile, should just sit back and appreciate the show. Dave Naylor, TSN: My thumb is down to Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, who didnt exactly shatter his reputation as a spoiled brat with his f-bomb directed at offensive co-ordinator Mike Martz during Sunday nights game against Minnesota. Its not shocking that this kind of thing happens in a football game. Nor is it surprising that Cutler blamed the media. But what is surprising - even for Cutler - is him saying he doesnt regret it. Its one thing to pipe off at youur coach in a heated moment during a game. Coby Fleener Jersey. But its another to essentially suggest youd do it again. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is down to Greg Norman, captain of the international team at next months presidents cup, which will be played at Royal Melbourne. Apparently that job isnt big enough for Normans inflated sense of self. He also wants to run team USA. The great white snark said American captain Fred Couples was wrong to have named the scuffling Tiger Woods to his squad. Ultimately Norman might be proved correct, but really, he should tend his own garden. Initially the Presidents Cup was a splendid antidote to the over-amped Ryder Cup. It was a welcome return to the sports gentlemanly roots. But the golf gloves are off now. Comments like Normans simply drag the biennial event into the Melbourne muck. Dave Hodge, TSN: My thumb is down to the NFL sideshow called "Suck for Luck". Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck is undoubtedly the NFLs next number-one draft choice and fans of the NFLs worst teams have adopted "Suck for Luck" as their rallying cry for the rest of the season. Well, Andrew Luck thinks this is stupid and so do I and heres a suggestion for him. He should pull a page out of the Eli Manning/John Elway playbook and at least threaten to join the team of his choice. State now that he wont play for the team with the number-one pick if it hasnt won a game, or two, as the case may be. This way, Andrew Luck can provide incentive to win – otherwise, he is seen as a reason to lose. ' ' '

DENVER -- The Denver Broncos signed free-agent safety Jim Leonhard on Saturday. Shonn Greene Jersey . The Broncos needed a reinforcement in the secondary after second-year starter Quinton Carter injured his right knee and hamstring in a nasty fall inside the teams practice bubble July 27. Leonhard is a seven-year veteran who spent the past three seasons emerging as a fan favourite with the New York Jets, who didnt sign him in the off-season after he underwent surgery in December to repair a tendon in his right knee. The injury generally takes between eight and 10 months to heal. After starring at Wisconsin, Leonhard played three seasons in Buffalo and one in Baltimore. He was a three-year starter in New York, where he was noted for his hard-hitting style despite his under-sized 5-foot-8, 190-pound frame. Sebastian Janikowski Jersey . Blair Jones, acquired six days ago, scored his first goal in a Flames uniform in overtime and Miikka Kiprusoff made 23 saves as Calgary beat the Anaheim Ducks 1-0 Thursday night. Kiprusoff improved to 20-14-2 on the season and earns his third shutout of the season and 43rd of his career, tying him for 27th on the all-time list with Lorne (Gump) Worsley. Tracy Porter Jersey . But the former world champion knew he needed the pressure of a big stage before he goes to the U.S. Olympic trials at the end of the month. The 29-year-old Gay hadnt raced since hip surgery last July. He entered the "B" 100 Saturday, finishing in 10. http://www.nflbroncosfan.com/willis-mcgahee-jersey .C.

Antonio Cromartie Jersey . Police clashed with protesters in several sites around Tehran, firing tear gas to disperse them and paintballs to mark them for arrest. Gangs of hard-liners also attacked senior opposition figures as they tried to attend the rallies -- including the wife of the head of the reform movement. ROME -- Defending champion Juventus moved atop Serie A with a 4-1 win over 10-man Udinese on Sunday that extended the Bianconeris unbeaten streak in the Italian league to 41 matches. The match turned when Udinese goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic was sent off for a foul on Sebastian Giovinco, leading to a penalty kick that Chile midfielder Arturo Vidal converted in the 14th minute. Mirko Vucinic doubled the lead in first-half added time and Giovinco added two more goals, in the 53rd and 71st. Andrea Lazzari pulled one back for Udinese in the 78th. Juventus has a full six points, having also won its opener against Parma last weekend. Napoli and Lazio also have six points, but Juventus is ahead on goal difference. Napoli beat Fiorentina 2-1 with second-half goals from Marek Hamsik and Blerim Dzemaili before Stevan Jovetic pulled one back for the Tuscan side. Lazio downed Palermo 3-0 with two goals from Miroslav Klose and another from former Juventus midfielder Antonio Candreva. Sampdoria also remained perfect with a 2-1 win over Siena but has only five points after being penalized one point in a betting scandal. Sampdoria opened with a 1-0 win over AC Milan, which bounced back with a 3-1 victory at Bologna on Saturday. Also Sunday, Roma beat Inter Milan 3-1 with goals from Alessandro Florenzi, Pablo Osvaldo and Marquinho after Antonio Cassano had temporarily equalized for Inter. Roma and Catania, which edged out Genoa 3-2, have four points each. In other matches, Parma beat Chievo Verona 2-0 with goals from Algerian forward Ishak Belfadil and Aleandro Rosi; and Swedish midfielder Albin Ekdal scored a last-minute equalizer as Cagliarii drew 1-1 with 10-man Atalanta after having two penalties saved by Atalanta goalkeeper Andrea Consigli. Arian Foster Jersey. Having gone all of last season unbeaten, Juventus has not lost in Serie A since falling 1-0 to Parma in the penultimate round of the 2010-11 season. Thus far, it doesnt appear distracted by the 10-month match-fixing suspension imposed on manager Antonio Conte for violations stemming from when he coached Siena two seasons ago. Udinese also lost its opener, to Fiorentina, and failed to qualify for the Champions League following two draws with Portuguese side Braga in the final round of playoffs. In Udine, Andrea Pirlo again ignited Juves attack. First, the midfield maestro placed a long, vertical pass at the feet of Stephan Lichtsteiner, but the fullback wasted a great chance by shooting high in the fifth. In the 12th, Pirlo used a similar pass to Giovinco that resulted in the penalty and the red card for Brkic, who made contact with Giovinco as he leaped into the air to grab the ball near the edge of the area. Juventus CEO Giuseppe Marotta concurred with sharp criticism from Udinese that Brkic should not have been sent off, but he agreed the penalty was deserved. "Honestly I think the decision was excessive," Marotta said. "We wanted to win 11 vs. 11." Vucinic was left unmarked to score from the centre of the area, while Giovinco pounced on a rebound for his first goal, then received a pass from Pirlo before firing in an angled shot for his second. Juventus paid Parma C11 million ($13.9 million) to re-acquire Giovinco in the off-season. So far its looking like a smart deal. ' ' '

LOS ANGELES, Calif. Rob Gronkowski Jersey . - The Houston Rockets have discovered a winning formula for beating the Los Angeles Lakers: Stay close long enough until Andrew Bynum gets himself ejected. Thats been the scenario the last two times the teams have met. Friday night, Bynum spent most of the fourth quarter in the dressing room while Goran Dragic and Luis Scola helped the Rockets pull out a 112-107 victory. "It changed a lot," Houston coach Kevin McHale said. "Bynum was a guy we had to double-team and focus a lot on the defensive end to try to get the ball out of his hands." Dragic had 26 points and 11 assists, and Scola scored 10 of his 25 points during a 2:39 span of the fourth. "If you win against them in L.A., then its something special," Dragic said. "Theyve won a lot of titles, and that was huge for us — especially in our playoff push." The Lakers were trailing 80-75 when Bynum took exception to a foul by Samuel Dalembert with 1:18 left in the third quarter and had to be restrained by teammates, earning his first technical foul. The enigmatic and moody 7-foot centre got another one with 11:17 left in the game after hitting a hook shot and mouthing off to the Houston bench on his way downcourt. "You talk trash, thats the essence of basketball right there," said teammate and former Rockets forward Metta World Peace, who never had a reputation for being the voice of reason — not even when he was known as Ron Artest. "You score, you talk trash. Thats fun. You got a bunch of street ball players in the NBA." Etiquette notwithstanding, Bynum hurt the Lakers again with his selfish antics and his teammates are well aware of it. For someone who was suspended without pay for the first four games of this compacted 66-game season because of a vicious flagrant foul he committed against Dallas guard J.J. Barea in last years playoffs — and fined $25,000 for ripping off his jersey while heading to the locker room — the seven-year veteran apparently hasnt learned anything. The Lakers, trying to keep the Clippers from catching them for the Pacific Division lead, had a better-than-even chance to win this one. The lead changed hands six times after Bynum left, but they never led again after Matt Barnes tied the score at 99-all on a 3-pointer with 2 1/2 minutes to remaining. "Well never know," Pau Gasol said when asked how the game would have turned out had Bynum controlled his temper. "It would be good to have him on the floor and help us win games. Hes just got to find a way to make sure he can help the team any way he can. And to do that, he has to stay in the game. Hes a great guy. Hes a good person and hes got a great heart. But Im not him, Im not inside him, and I dont know what goes on all the time in his mind." Bynum finished with 19 points and seven rebounds in 31 minutes, after scoring 36 points against the Clippers despite a sprained left ankle. On March 20 at Houston, was ejected late in the third quarter, and the Rockets erased a 17-point deficit scored a season-high 34 points in the fourth. Houston won it 107-104, with Dragic making the go-ahead 3-pointer with 28 seconds left. "Its always tough when you lose somebody like Bynum because hes a 20-and-10 type of guy," point guard Ramon Sessions said. "I think he was just starting to get rolling, too, and getting hyped up right before that. We definitely needed him down the stretch." Marcus Camby, playing with a sprained left wrist, had 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Rockets, who overcame a 15-point deficit en route to a 99-93 road win over the league-leading Chicago Bulls in their previous game on Monday night. They have won back-to-back games for the first time since March 13-14 against Oklahoma City and Charlotte. Rockets leading scorer Kevin Martin missed his 13th straight game because of a right shoulder strain, but they are 8-5 in his absence. Kobe Bryant, playing with a bruised right shin that kept him out of Friday mornings shootaround, scored 28 points for the Lakers. World Peace had a season-high 23, Gasol had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Barnes had 13 rebounds — three off his career high. The Lakers fell to 1 1/2 games ahead of the Clippers in the Pacific Division. Six of the final 10 games on the Lakers schedule are on the road, including the next three against Phoenix, New Orleans and San Antonio — whom the Lakers will face three times. They trail the Spurs by 4 1/2 games for the best record in the conference. World Peace, who came off the bench in his first 19 games before replacing Barnes in the starting lineup on Jan. 29, helped lead Los Angeles to a 59-50 halftime lead with 17 points — two off his previous high this season. The 13-year veteran reached the 20-point mark for the ninth time in 214 regular-season games with the Lakers. Notes: The 40th anniversary of the Lakers first championship in Los Angeles is coming up on May 7, and the organization honoured the members of that 1971-72 team in a halftime ceremony by giving them new championship rings. In attendance was coach Bill Sharman and nine of his players, including Jerry West, Pat Riley, Gail Goodrich and Elgin Baylor, who retired nine games into that season — the same day that his teammates began their record 33-game winning streak. ... With the Lakers atop the Pacific Division, the Clippers leading ninth-place Utah by 4 1/2 games in the West with 11 to play — and the NHLs Kings having clinched a playoff spot Thursday night — its shaping up to be the first time that all three of Staples Centers major tenants will make the post-season in the same year since the arena opened in 1999-00. ... Bryant needs four steals to surpass Magic Johnsons total of 1,724 for the Lakers franchise record and take over 15th place on the career NBA list. Johnson led the league twice in that department, something that Bryant never did. ... Houston is 8-6 since Dragic took over as the starting point guard because of Kyle Lowrys bacterial infection. Brandon Bolden Jersey . The former NHLer played two seasons with Crosby in Pittsburgh and said Tuesday the Penguins superstar probably suffered from the long layoff after coming back from a concussion. Jacoby Ford Jersey . Pierrick Martel scored twice as the Cataractes exploded for five third-period goals in under seven minutes on Saturday for a 7-3 victory over Drummondville. http://www.steelersroom.com/hines-ward-jerseys . Daequan Cook proved to be the perfect substitute for the NBAs top-scoring bench player. Durant scored 32 points and Cook had all 19 of his points in the fourth quarter to rally the Thunder to a 118-110 win against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night in their first game since Harden took an elbow to the head. Haloti Ngata Jersey . -- Manny Ramirez is a free agent again after he asked the Oakland Athletics to release him and the team granted his request on Friday. Darrelle Revis Jersey . The sixth-seeded Williams fired a career-high 23 aces, the most ever in a Wimbledon womens match during the 6-7 (5-7), 6-2, 9-7 win that took nearly 2 1/2 hours. It was a statistical see-saw for Williams, who had 54 winners and 24 unforced errors, but after a break of serve following an overpowering return gave her an 8-7 lead, she was barely able to close out her opponent.Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry Fraser wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Just finished watching the game as a hockey fan. Im neither partisan to the Kings or Devils but came away frustrated over the officiating once again during these playoffs. If Im a Devils fan, the first goal of the game (by Alec Martinez) should have been whistled down. There is no way where the referee is standing, can he see the puck that at one point was under Martin Brodeurs pad and in my opinion, it was long enough to whistle down. Only with the crowds roar did he realize to look in the net where he did the same gesture with his right arm frantically pointing at the puck in the net!There had to be at least a few seconds of no sight of the puck. Long enough to blow a whistle? J. Ferraro Dear J: In a scramble when the referee is positioned on the opposite side of the net from the location of the puck he can often find himself caught between a rock and a hard place; either by blowing the whistle prematurely when the puck isnt covered or allow it to be dug out from the goalies grasp. I dont offer this as an excuse but let me attempt to explain the reality of the situation and how a referee can respond best to get this play right. First let me say that Martin Brodeur had that puck covered with his left pad one the initial shot and protected it with the blade of his stick. If referee Dan OHalloran had been on that side of the net he too would have seen this and hopefully blown the play dead. Rule 85.3 - puck out of sight is often the catchall referenced by television commentators and hockey analysts as to when the play should be whistled dead. While that is not always the case in a practical application the rule reads: "Should a scramble take place or a player accidentally fall on the puck and the puck be out of sight of the Referee, he shall immediately blow his whistle and stop the play." The problem with interpreting the "immediately stop play" phrase to the letter is that there are many times when the referee finds himself in a position where he will lose sight of the puck in a scramble but it remains uncovered. I can also cause me fits when I hear commentators say, "The referee was in perfect position" when in fact he is in a deficient position (often through no fault of his own) to see the puck. In cases such as last night on the first goal credited to Alec Martinez unless the referee had x-ray vision he would not have known for sure if the puck was covered or loose. It is the referees job to find the location of the puck "immediately" by moving quickly to gain the best sight line or trust his instinct and gut reaction on a play of this nature. There were times early in my career when I found myself in the very same position as the referee last night and I lost sight of the puck and killed the play in error thinking that the goalie had it covered. At times such as this the puck usually found the back of the net simultaneously with my whistle. I quickly learned (the hard way) that I had to do whatever necessary to find that puck even if it meant jumping on top of the net on rare occasions. Having been victiimized with a quick whistle a couple of times I developed more patience during scrambles but moved my feet as fast I could to gain the best sightline before making a decision to kill the play. Andrew Luck Jersey. Last night it was a quick play and movement from one side of the net to the other would not have been a practical option for the referee. This is where a good read of the play and gut instinct needs to be applied. The last thing that I allowed was for a player to bang away and make contact with the goalkeeper either with his stick or body. When a player makes contact with the goalies pad, glove or body I knew the attacker was not striking at a loose puck but making some attempt to dislodge a puck that was covered. Once Dwight King took a couple of good whacks at Brodeurs pad and the goalies position was altered the whistle would have been moving to my mouth with intent to kill the play. Should the puck enter the net following my intention to blow the whistle the goal would be disallowed. Let me mention just a couple of examples that occurred this season and playoffs where the referee should have employed this philosophy but instead allowed play to continue. Kris Letang scored a game winner in OT after returning from having his nose broken on a high hit by Max Pacioretty (3 gm suspension). Carey Price had the frozen puck dug out of his catching glove with the referee on the opposite side of the net and Letang fired home the game winner. Chris Neal pushed Henrik Lundqvist off a covered puck with his stick that resulted in a goal being allowed during a 2-1 Rangers win in their playoff series. While the Rangers still won the game the goal broke Lundqvists goose egg and caused the All-World goalie to lose his mind in postgame interviews. Mike Smith covered the puck with his catching glove and had it skewered from underneath it by an attacking player. Not only was the puck knocked loose but Smiths catching glove ended up behind the net along with the puck. Play was allowed to continue as Smith dangerously played without the protection of his catching glove. While no goal resulted a quick instinct decision by the referee would have deemed the puck sufficiently covered for a stoppage of play. In an effort to determine frozen pucks my best advice for the referees is to quickly attack the net in a goalmouth scramble to find the puck. Move to the side where the puck is being played to determine if it is in fact covered. If that is not possible trust your instinct based on goalie position and actions of the attacking player(s). Whatever you do, dont allow attacking players to bang away at the goalie! When all else fails apply rule 85.3 when you lose sight of the puck! Update from Kerry at 6pm et: Back at theavenger001; whatthewot; cheatermcgirljeans: I guess the second paragraph wasnt clear and concise enough for you. I cant be any clearer than this -- "The whistle should have blown to stop play therefore the goal should NOT HAVE COUNTED!"

MINNEAPOLIS -- When Erick Aybar came trotting home on a double from Mike Trout that gave the Los Angeles an early lead over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night, Angels starter Ervin Santana raised his hands in the dugout and smiled. Maurkice Pouncey Jersey . Hard to blame, him. It had been quite a while since he had pitched with a run on the board. Ervin Santana pitched 7 1-3 innings and got some run support from the Angels offence for the first time in his past six starts in a 6-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night. Santana (1-6) gave up two runs and six hits and Albert Pujols had two hits and two RBIs for the Angels, who took two of three from the Twins. Trout had two doubles, two RBIs and scored twice and Howie Kendrick added three hits for Los Angeles. "It was great," Pujols said. "Hes been pitching the ball well. Its great to give run support to any of our starting pitchers. As competitive as they are, Ervin knew we scored some runs early, but he kept making his pitches, never lost his focus." Carl Pavano (2-3) was knocked out of the game before there was an out in the fifth inning for the Twins, who are an MLB-worst 8-22. He gave up five runs -- four earned -- and 10 hits in his shortest outing of the season. Josh Willingham hit his sixth homer of the season and also had a double for the Twins, who shook things up after the game by moving struggling starter Francisco Liriano to the bullpen and sending third baseman Danny Valencia to Triple-A Rochester. "We need to make some changes," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We need some hits. We need some new life in here, the whole package." Angels manager Mike Scioscia was ejected in the eighth inning for arguing balls and strikes with plate umpire Sam Holbrook, but that was about the only thing that went wrong for Los Angeles on Wednesday night. With Pujols struggling mightily in his first season in the American League, the Angels have been shut out seven times this season. Santana is the first pitcher since 1974 to go through five straight starts where his offence was shut out, according to STATS LLC. When Trouts double scored Aybar in the third inning, it was the first time Santana had received a run of support since the third inning on April 8 against Kansas City. "He felt better, obviously, getting a couple runs," Scioscia said. "I felt as the game picked up his command got a little bit better." Pujols added an RBI single and Alberto Callaspo scored thanks to a throwing error from first baseman Joe Mauer that hit Pujols in the back on his way to second base for a 3-0 lead. Pujols came up a little gimpy on the play, but he quickly shooed trainers off the field and stayed in the game. Los Angeles tacked on two more in the fifth, getting rocket doubles to the gap from Trout and Callaspo to start the inning and chase Pavano, who has been searching for lost velocity all season long. With a fastball that routinely was clocked in the mid-80s, and an unwillingness to pitch inside, the Angels hitters were able to crowd the plate and hammer the outside corners early and often. Pavano gave up four doubles and only lasted as long as he did thanks to three inning-ending double plays. Santana certainly wasnt blameless for the 0-5 record he carried into the outing. The right-hander gave up 19 earned runs and 10 homers in his first four starts, one of the chief reasons the Angels got off to such a surprisingly poor start. But hes gotten progressively better over his past three outings, looking more and more like the reliable 16-game winner he was last season. Hes allowed seven earned runs in 22 1-3 innings over his past three starts. "Its not like were not going out and trying to score runs," Kendrick said. "We got shut out yesterday, but we come out today and put up 14 hits. Its like were a completely different offence. Everybody is still not where they want to be at, but were close." NOTES: Twins GM Terry Ryan said DH Justin Morneau received a cortisone shot in his sore left wrist at the Cleveland Clinic. The plan is for him to take some swings on Saturday. While still early in his DL stint, the Twins are hopeful Morneau will be ready to come off on May 15 and join the team for the eight-game road trip that begins in Detroit on May 16. ... Torii Hunter hit into two double plays, and the two struggling offences combined for five in the game. ... Angels LF Vernon Wells made an outstanding catch on a dead run to rob Mauer of an extra-base hit in the sixth. .... The Angels have the day off on Thursday before beginning a big series at Texas on Friday. LHP C.J. Wilson (4-2, 2.61) will pitch his first game against the Rangers on Friday night while RHP Yu Darvish (4-1, 2.54) will pitch for Texas. ... The Twins open a four-game series against the Blue Jays on Thursday. Jason Marquis (2-1, 5.40) will pitch Game 1 for Minnesota against RHP Henderson Alvarez (2-2, 2.83). Hines Ward Jersey .

Whitfield, who came out of the water of the swim portion in 22nd place and forming part of the chase group behind the leaders, wobbled and hit a speed bump, crashing near the fencing as fans looked on.PHILADELPHIA -- The forgotten man had a forgettable season debut. Lucky for Joe Blanton, the offence bailed him out. Ryan Howard tied a career high with four hits and fell a triple short of the cycle, Ben Francisco also homered and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets 10-7 Wednesday night after wasting a 7-0 lead. Placido Polanco had three hits and three RBIs, including a go-ahead single in the fifth, helping the four-time NL East champions overcome a rough start by Blanton to improve to 4-1. "I had a nice lead, I was trying to throw strikes and I got ambushed," Blanton said. "The offence did a great job of turning it around." Angel Pagan hit a two-run homer for the Mets (3-2), who got a second straight poor outing from Mike Pelfrey. Antonio Bastardo (1-0) pitched 1 2-3 innings of scoreless relief to earn the win. Jose Contreras worked the ninth for his first save. "Our offence was great and the bullpen did real good," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. After the Mets scored five in the fifth to tie it 7-7, the Phillies answered in the bottom half against Blaine Boyer (0-1). Shane Victorino hit a two-out double and Polanco followed with a sinking liner to right. Carlos Beltran, a three-time Gold Glove winner in centre field making the switch to right this season, made a diving attempt but the ball fell in for a single. Victorino scored to put Philadelphia up 8-7. After Jimmy Rollins walked, Howard reached on an infield single up the middle that bounced off Boyer and trickled away. Polanco came around to score from second to make it 9-7. "We answered very good," Manuel said. "That was real big. That changed the momentum of the game. Francisco connected off Boyer in the sixth. He hit two drives Tuesday night that were knocked down by a stiff wind and caught on the warning track. This shot landed several rows back in left. Howard finished 4 for 4 with two doubles, a homer, a walk and two RBIs. Usually a slow starter, hes batting .524 ( 11 for 21) in five games. The Phillies are averaging 12 hits and 6.4 runs per game. "The statement weve made is us being us," Howard said. "A lot of people counted us out." Pelfrey, who lost the season opener at Florida, lasted just two-plus innings, allowing seven runs -- six earned -- and eight hits. "I was very, very proud of the way we came back," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "They hung in there and gave us a chance to get back in it." Blanton gave up seven runs and 10 hits in 4 1-3 innings. He became an afterthought in Philadelphias star-studded rotation after the team signeed Cliff Lee to a US$120 million contract in the off-season. Willis McGahee Jersey. All the talk was of the Four Aces -- Lee, Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels. Blanton was expected to be traded to shed payroll, and he even joked about it when he showed up the first day of spring training and sat at a podium with the other four starters for a news conference. Blanton has decent credentials himself. Hes won 16 games in a season, been an opening-day starter, is 2-0 in the post-season and owns a World Series ring. But he pitched like a No. 5 starter in his first start. "It didnt go the way I wanted it to," he said. Trailing 7-0, New York started to chip away in the fourth when Pagan hit a two-run shot to left-centre. The Mets then chased Blanton in the fifth. Blanton struck out pinch-hitter Daniel Murphy to start the inning, but allowed the next seven batters to reach. Jose Reyes doubled and Willie Harris walked. David Wright and Beltran followed with RBI singles. After Pagan singled to load the bases, Ike Davis ripped a two-run double to get the Mets within a run. Blanton left after walking Brad Emaus to load the bases. Bastardo came in and struck out Josh Thole. But Murphy singled to left to tie it at 7. Reyes flied out to left to end the inning. The Phillies jumped on Pelfrey for a pair in the first. Victorino tripled to right-centre and scored on Polancos sharp groundout to second. Howard drove a two-out double to deep left-centre and scored when Raul Ibanez lined a single to left. A miscue by Pelfrey led to another run in the second. Pete Orr reached on an infield single to start the inning. Blanton then popped up a one-out bunt. Pelfrey let it drop, hoping to start a 1-4-6 double play. But his throw to first skipped past second baseman Emaus for an error and the runners ended up at second and third. Orr scored on Victorinos groundout to deep short for a 3-0 lead. The Phillies knocked Pelfrey out in the third. Howard led off with a towering shot into the bushes behind the wall in straightaway centre. Ibanez singled, Francisco walked and Orr blooped a single to left to load the bases. That ended Pelfreys night. Taylor Buchholz entered and struck out Brian Schneider, but Blanton bounced a two-run single to left. Polanco added an RBI single to make it 7-0. NOTES: The Mets were 5-17-4 in road series in 2010. A win against Roy Halladay and the Phillies on Thursday would give them two straight road series wins to open the year. ... Howard has seven career four-hit games. ...
