LOS ANGELES -- Yasiel Puig extended his career-best hitting streak to 12 games with his third home run in four days, a go-ahead three-run shot, and drew a
bases-loaded walk in the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5 win over the Florida Marlins on
Monday night.
Matt Barkley Eagles Jersey . Dan Haren (5-1) overcame a shaky start following his 3-2 loss at Washington last Wednesday,
allowing three runs and seven hits over seven innings without walking a batter
after losing his previous four decisions against the Marlins. The right-hander
is 6-2 lifetime against Miami, the only other victory coming on a four-hit
shutout in July 2009 with the Arizona Diamondbacks at Phoenix. Brian Wilson
inherited a 6-3 lead from Haren and promptly gave up a leadoff walk to
Christian Yelich and a home run by pinch-hitter and former Dodger Reed Johnson
on the next pitch. But Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth for his 12th save,
one day after he was charged with three runs in the 10th inning of a 7-4 loss to
San Francisco. Yelich helped stake Tom Koehler (3-3) to a 3-1 lead with a solo
homer in the third, but the Marlins right-hander never made it through the
fourth. He walked No. 8 hitter Drew Butera, then Dee Gordon with two outs, and
Puig drove the next pitch into the pavilion seats in left-centre for his sixth
home run to give Los Angeles a 4-3 lead. Koehler gave up four runs, six hits and
five walks in 3 2-3 innings. In his previous two starts, he allowed no runs and
five hits over 15 innings, beating the Dodgers 6-3 at Miami and following up
with a no-decision against the New York Mets. Los Angeles added two more runs in
the fifth, including an RBI single by Andre Ethier after Matt Kemp was grazed on
the helmet by Henry Rodriguezs pitch and stole second on the right-handers next
delivery to Ethier. Rodriguez also forced in a run with his bases-loaded walk to
Puig. Kemp, playing in his 1,000th regular-season game, singled leading off the
second inning and stole second before Haren drove him in from third with a
single that tied the score at 1. Yelich drove a 3-2 pitch to left-centre in the
third for his fourth homer, giving the Marlins a 2-1 lead. It was the first of
four consecutive hits against Haren, including an RBI single by
Giancarlo Stanton that extended his career-best hitting streak to 14 games. But
Jarrod Saltalamacchia grounded into an inning-ending double-play. Haren allowed
only one more hit after that -- a leadoff double in the sixth by Stanton. First
base umpire Laz Diaz, who was admonished by Major League Baseball last week for
his role in the ejections of New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi on May 5
against the Angels had a call of his overturned in the Marlins first inning.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly challenged Diazs ruling that Stanton was safe,
after Haren took the toss from Adrian Gonzalez on Stantons grounder and stepped
on the bag a split-second before the runner did. Replays confirmed that
Mattingly was correct, and Stanton had to settle for a run-scoring groundout,
which helped increase his major league-leading RBIs total to 42. NOTES: Eighteen
years ago this month, Marlins third base coach Brett Butler learned that he had
tonsil cancer while playing for the Dodgers. This was his first visit to Chavez
Ravine in a major league uniform since 2005, when he was the Diamondbacks first
base coach. ... Dodgers 3B Juan Uribe, who missed the previous three games
because of a sore right hamstring, took batting practice with his teammates and
was declared "available in different roles" by Mattingly. But he remained on the
bench. ... Twelve of Puigs 26 big league homers have come on the first pitch.
... Kemp had a career-high 40 stolen bases in 2011 before injuries to his left
hamstring and left ankle limited him to a combined 179 games in 2012 and 2013.
This was only the second time he has two steals in a game since Aug. 11, 2012,
at Miami.
Jordan Hicks Eagles Jersey . -- Adam Pelech scored with three seconds left in regulation to lift the Erie Otters past the
Owen Sound Attack 3-2 in Wednesdays lone Ontario Hockey League game.
Wes Hopkins Eagles Jersey . That, he hinted, could come Wednesday. Negotiators for the NBA and its players met for only about
two hours Tuesday and plan to resume the talks early Wednesday. Stern said that
meeting will determine how soon its worth sitting down again.ST. PETERSBURG,

DeJesus had been scheduled to make $6.5 million next year under the 2014 option
exercised by the teeam Sunday.
Herman Edwards Eagles Jersey. . A .279 career hitter, DeJesus was acquired from Washington in a trade on Aug. 23 and started
26 games for the Rays, helping Tampa Bay earn its fourth playoff berth in six
seasons. He batted .251 with eight homers and 38 RBIs in 122 games with the
Rays, Nationals and Chicago Cubs last season. DeJesus turns 34 next month. The
