Lamar Jackson Jersey Elite

John Brebbia pitched in 70 major league games before earning his first career win. When the wait was over http://www.bengalsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-logan-woodside-jersey , the individual accomplishment was an afterthought compared to the exhilaration
of stopping his team’s archrival from earning its first sweep in nearly eight
years at Busch Stadium.
Jack Flaherty and four relievers combined on a four-hitter, Matt Carpenter homered and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs 5-0 on Sunday
night.
Brebbia (1-1) worked around two hits in a scoreless sixth inning to earn his first major league win. Austin Gomber, Jordan Hicks and Bud Norris each pitched
a hitless inning to finish the shutout. It ended the Cardinals’ season-high
four-game losing streak and prevented the Cubs from getting their first series
sweep in St. Louis since Sept. 13-15, 2010.
”It’s definitely nice to get a win for sure,” Brebbia said. ”What’s really nice is we got a win against the Cubs in the division, in what I think is a
tight division right now so that’s probably the best part.”
Flaherty allowed just two hits while striking out seven in five innings, but he walked three and hit two batters and was pulled after throwing 97 pitches. He
escaped a jam in the third inning when he struck out Kris Bryant with the bases
loaded to keep the game scoreless.
”I was able to battle and execute when I needed to,” Flaherty said. ”I threw a lot of pitches in a short amount of time. I was hoping to go deeper, but
that’s how it goes sometimes.”
Harrison Bader, Tommy Pham http://www.broncosauthorizedshops.com/authentic-courtland-sutton-jersey , and Marcell Ozuna each singled to open the sixth inning and load the bases.
Pham’s single extended his hitting streak to a National League-best 11 games to
chase Jose Quintana (6-5) from the game.
Bader scored the game’s first run when Yadier Molina grounded into a double play and Jedd Gyorko’s RBI single drove in Pham to make it 2-0.
Quintana was charged with the two runs and four hits in five-plus innings in his 200th career major league game.
”I felt pretty good,” Quintana said. ”I had all my stuff.”
Carpenter hit his 10th home run of the season and second of this series in the seventh inning off Brian Duensing to push the lead to 3-0.
Molina had an RBI double in the eighth, moved to third on Yairo Munoz’s infield single and scored on shortstop Addison Russell’s throwing error on the
play.
Cubs shortstop Javier Baez left the game with a left elbow contusion after being hit by a pitch from Flaherty in the top of the third inning. Baez, who
leads the team with 14 home runs, was replaced by Russell.
”I’m fine. Just really sore,” Baez said. ”He got me really good. Right on the elbow.”
Chicago manager Joe Maddon was content with taking two of three in St. Louis.
He had reporters listen to a minute of the Meat Loaf song, ”Two out of Three Ain’t Bad,” before starting his press conference.
”We’ll take two out of three any day of the week, especially in this ball park,” Maddon said. ”We played well. We just didn’t get any hits tonight.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Washington Capitals played their way right back into their first-round playoff series with the Columbus Blue Jackets, but it took a
lot of extra effort to do so.
The Capitals’ 3-2 victory on Tuesday night at Nationwide Arena on a goal by Lars Eller at 8:09 of the second overtime narrowed their deficit to 2-1 in the
best-of-seven Eastern Conference engagement.
With Game 4 scheduled for Thursday night at Nationwide, the Capitals find themselves with an opportunity to get even and regain home-ice advantage before
the series heads back to Washington on Saturday. That scenario is certainly
better than being down 3-0 and facing elimination on the opponents’ home
ice.
No team in NHL history had lost the first three games of a playoff series in overtime.
“When you’re down 2-0, it’s almost like two do-or-die games,” Capitals forward Tom Wilson said. “If you don’t win the do-or-die Game 3, you’re probably
up against the wall. We kind of looked at it as a do-or-die http://www.saintsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-rick-leonard-jersey , must win — and we got the win. So now we can look to the next one.”
Eller’s goal — his first in the playoffs — ended a stellar goaltending duel between Columbus’ Sergei Bobrovsky and Washington’s Braden Holtby before a
record crowd.
“It’s going to be a battle again in Game 4,” Eller said. “But it’s very fair we have one win after these three games. It’s been close every game.
“We don’t look far (ahead). All we talk about is the next shift, next period, small adjustments. We don’t look very far ahead. You’ve got to keep your eye on
the ball, and on the next shift. That’s the mentality.”
Extra periods have become a habit for the Capitals, not only in this series but in the playoffs in general. The double-overtime affair was the 13th
multiple-goal game in franchise history, and Washington has a 4-9 record in
those.
Last year, the Capitals and Toronto Maple Leafs played five overtime games in the first round before Washington came back from a 2-1 deficit to prevailed in
six.
Capitals coach Barry Trotz surely would like to break the overtime habit, but Tuesday’s result was certainly better than the first two outcomes.
“We just want to win. If it takes eight periods, we just want to win http://www.dolphinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jerome-baker-jersey ,” he said. “We won one game today. We didn’t get what we wanted at home, and so
our focus has to be on one game.
“To get fat and happy after a win … we’re still in a hole. We need a lot of desperation, we need a lot of commitment, we need a lot of focus. We need to get
this tied up. That’s our only focus right now.”
The Blue Jackets still lead the series, but they’ve barely led in any of the first three games. They’ve faced deficits in each and rallied to win the first
two before the puck finally failed to bounce their way in Game 3.
“This is what playoff hockey is,” Blue Jackets captain Nick Foligno said. “It’s not always going to go your way. But we’ve put ourselves in a real good
spot by going in there (in Washington) and stealing two. They’re, I’m sure,
fully planning on doing that to us. But we’re going to do everything we can to
make sure it doesn’t happen.”
One thing the Blue Jackets want to avoid is penalties, which the Capitals’ potent power play has taken advantage of in each game. On Tuesday, a
five-on-three at the end of the second period led to a go-ahead goal by
Washington’s John Carlson.
The Blue Jackets came back to tie in the third period on a goal by forward Artemi Panarin.
“I think we’re comfortable in that (trailing) http://www.saintsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-natrell-jamerson-jersey ,” Blue Jackets John Tortorella said. “We don’t want to be there, but I don’t think
it affects how we play. Sometimes it’s tougher to have the lead. I felt in that
third period, (the Capitals) were on their heels, in trying to protect that
lead.”
Could there be a fourth overtime game in the offing?
“We just go forward, trying not to be (disappointed), just keep working, just keep playing,” Panarin said. “Anything can happen.”
