MILWAUKEE -- For a brief moment, the whole game was waiting on Carlos Gomez. The crowd roared as the Milwaukee Brewers looked toward centre field in amazement and Gomez hopped around in front of the wall. When he flipped his glove open as he ran toward the infield, it was over. Gomez robbed Joey Votto of a potential go-ahead homer with a spectacular catch for the final out, saving the Brewers 4-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night. "When you save the game like that or when you hit a walk-off home run, its amazing," Gomez said. "I never hit one, but I steal home run to win the game. Its something special, like you cant wait to get home to see it over and over." Jonathan Lucroy homered for the third consecutive game for last-place Brewers, who had dropped three of four. Jean Segura had three hits off Homer Bailey in the right-handers first start since his second career no-hitter. But Gomez made the biggest play of the game when he used a perfectly timed jump to grab Vottos drive, sending a charge through the crowd on an otherwise sleepy night at Miller Park. The dramatic conclusion came after pinch-hitter Derrick Robinson walked with two outs. Votto made an appeal to see the ball in Gomezs glove while he celebrated in the outfield, and sure enough, it was there. "The whole thing is really a random occurrence and its what makes baseball so special," Votto said. "Carlos has had a fantastic year this year. Today he didnt have a good game offensively and he goes out and makes a game-changing play on the defensive end. "You know, I did everything I could, and he made a great play." Kyle Lohse (5-6) pitched into the seventh inning for his fourth consecutive winning decision. Bailey was coming off an absolute gem at home against San Francisco last Tuesday night, when he struck out nine and allowed just one baserunner on a seventh-inning walk. The impressive performance in the Reds 3-0 victory gave Bailey a chance to become the second pitcher in major league history to throw consecutive no-hitters. That opening was slammed shut in the first inning. Segura dumped a 1-2 pitch into right field for a base hit with one out. He then stole second and went to third on a throwing error by catcher Devin Mesoraco before Lucroy hit his 11th homer to give the Brewers a 2-1 lead. "It was just one of those days," Bailey said. "Just never could find a rhythm." Segura added an RBI double in the second and an infield hit in the fifth. The All-Star shortstop reached base four times and leads the NL with 113 hits. Chris Heisey hit a solo homer for Cincinnati, which has lost three of four since taking three in a row against the Giants. Jay Bruce and pinch hitter Xavier Paul each had an RBI single. Bailey (5-7) was replaced by Logan Ondrusek after he hit Segura with a pitch with two outs in the sixth. He allowed a season-high 10 hits and walked three. "He got out of some tough jams," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. Lohse was pulled after he allowed singles to three of the first four batters in the seventh. Heisey was erased when Mesoraco grounded into a double play, but pinch hitter Cesar Izturis and Shin-Soo Choo singled to put runners on the corners. John Axford came in and surrendered Pauls run-scoring hit to make it 4-3, but he bounced back to strike out Votto, limiting the damage. "We dont win them easy," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. Lohse was charged with three runs and nine hits. The righty improved to 4-0 with a 2.37 ERA in his past eight starts. Jim Henderson worked the eighth and Francisco Rodriguez finished for his ninth save in nine chances and No. 303 for his career, tying Doug Jones for 22nd on the major league list. Rodriguez had his left arm over his head and his right hand on the brim of his cap as he walked around in disbelief after Gomezs game-ending grab. "Hes so athletic and explosive," Lohse said of Gomez. "You just see him get good reads. Its pretty fun to watch." Milwaukee got Ryan Braun back from the disabled list, but he did not play in the Brewers second win in seven games against Cincinnati this season. Braun, who had been out with a bruised right thumb, took batting practice for the second straight day and could return to the lineup on Tuesday. While the 2011 NL MVP returned to the active roster, third baseman Aramis Ramirez went back on the DL again with a nagging left knee injury. Mesoraco got the start behind the plate for Cincy after Baker said Ryan Hanigan was dealing with soreness, declining to elaborate. But Mesoraco has a back issue and appeared to be playing hurt, grounding out with runners on first and second to end the eighth. "Hes a tough guy," Baker said. "I dont know what were going to do tomorrow. I dont know if hes going to be all right or not." NOTES: Johnny Vander Meer remains the only pitcher to throw consecutive no-hitters, accomplishing the feat for the Reds on June 11 and June 15 in 1938. ... Brewers RHP Wily Peralta (5-9, 5.27 ERA) is scheduled to face LHP Tony Cingrani (3-0, 3.40 ERA) in the middle game of the series on Tuesday. Peralta was forced to leave his last outing in the sixth inning last Tuesday night at Washington due to a strained left hamstring. "If he feels something, then, obviously, well address that," Roenicke said. ... The Miller Park roof was open at the start of the game, but it was closed during the second inning. It was opened again in the fourth. ... NASCAR driver Matt Kenseth, a Wisconsin native, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Wholesale Sharks Jerseys .

An independent hearing officer found Florida Gators receiver Antonio Callaway not responsible of sexually assaulting a female student in December, according to a ruling obtained by ESPN on Friday.Callaway, a sophomore from Miami, was accused of sexual misconduct by the woman in December. The woman and her witnesses boycotted Callaways student conduct hearing in Gainesville, Florida, last week because the university appointed a Gators football booster to adjudicate the case.Callaway and the woman were notified of the decision Friday morning. It wasnt immediately known if Callaway would be fully reinstated to Floridas football team or face additional discipline.According to the ruling made by Jacksonville, Florida, attorney Jake Schickel, Callaway was cleared of three violations of Floridas student conduct code: conduct causing physical injury or endangering anothers health or safety, sexual assault and sexual misconduct.In his ruling, Schickel wrote that the woman stated she did not consent because of intoxication and/or force, however the totality of the evidence suggest the contrary and she was not intoxicated to the extent she could not consent. Schickel also wrote that the womans own text messages indicated that she was pretending to be intoxicated.Schickel also wrote that his impression was that Callaway was honest, sincere, and presented himself well. According to the ruling, Callaway testified that he was high on marijuana during the encounter, and stated that he was so stoned I had no interest in having sex with anyone.We would have been surprised if any other outcome would have occurred, said John Clune, the womans attorney. The whole situation is a disgrace and disservice to everybody involved in this process. It doesnt matter how competent someone is, if they have a bias, you cant remove that bias. The school knows better, and they owe the female students at UF better than this. It sends the wrong message.The woman has 10 business days to appeal the decision. Clune didnt indicate whether she would.In a statement provided to ESPN on Friday, Callaways attorney, Huntley Johnson, said of the ruling: The complainants advisor has gone out of his way to distort Mr. Callaways actions. Please allow us to level the playing field. This decision by the hearing officer reflects only a fraction of the evidence which is not favorable to the complainant.The young ladys advisor has said they will take their witnesses and go elsewhere. They need to be careful what they wish for.Clune said his client was trying to decide whether to re-enroll at Florida for classes this fall.The university issued a statement Friday saying it will not tolerate sexual assault and that it thoroughly investigates every allegation in receives through the student conduct and Title IX processes.Last week, Clune objected to Florida appointing Schickel as a hearing officer in the case. Schickel has a bachelors degree in political science and law degree from Florida. He is also a past trustee of Floridas Levin College of Law.A former track and field athlete at Florida, Schickel, 68, is a Scholarship Club donor to Florida Football Boosters, which requires annual contributions of $4,800 to $8,599, according to a 2014-15 Year In Review program published by the UF athletics department. According to the documents, Schickel is also a 3-Point Club donor to Florida basketball, which requires annual contributions of $2,000 to $4,999.In January, Florida suspended Callaway and former Gators quarterback Treon Harris for violating the schools code of conduct. They were barred from campus and took online courses during the suspension. According to sources, the woman reported the incident to Floridas student conduct and conflict resolution office in early December. She didnt report the incident to police.Gainesville police and University of Florida police previously confirmed to ESPN that they didnt have reports related to the alleged incident.Harris, a junior from Miami, was also accused of misconduct by the woman. He announced last month that he was leaving Florida and transferring to another school. Sources familiar with the case told ESPN that Harris agreed to leave Florida as part of a plea deal related to the Title IX case. He also apologized to the woman, the sources said.As a freshman last season, Callaway was Floridas leading receiver with 35 catches for 678 yards with four touchdowns in 14 games. He also returned two punts for touchdowns. He was suspended from participating in football activities and missed spring practice before returning to campus for classes in June.Callaway practiced with the Gators for the first time this year last week but hasnt been fully reinstated to the team, according to Gators coach Jim McElwain.

ATLANTA -- The Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves have different motivations for their final meeting at Turner Field.The Marlins are clinging to hopes they can steal a wild-card spot and make the National League playoffs, while the cellar-bound Braves are trying to win enough games to avoid the teams first 100-loss season since 1988.The teams begin a three-game series Monday in the Braves soon-to-be-abandoned ballpark.

DENVER -- Corey Dickerson, a former Colorado Rockies outfielder, will try to help the Tampa Bay Rays end their road skid Tuesday when he faces his former team.Tampa Bay is riding an 11-game road losing streak following a 7-4 defeat against the Rockies on Monday night. The Rays dropped a franchise-record 13 consecutive road games in 2013, and they lost 12 straight away games in 2006.Dickerson, who began his career with the Rockies and was traded to the Rays on Jan. 28 in the four-play deal that brought reliever Jake McGee to Colorado, will start for the Rays. The left-handed-hitting Dickerson, who has made 27 starts in left field, one in right field and 41 at designated hitter, wasnt in Tampa Bays lineup Monday against Rockies left-hander Tyler Anderson.Dickerson pinch-hit in the eighth after Evan Longorias leadoff triple and struck out against Jason Motte -- the first of three consecutive batters Motte fanned to preserve a 5-4 lead. Dickerson is hitless in his past 11 at-bats following a season-high six-game hitting streak during which he hit .429 with a .478 on-base percentage and a .571 slugging percentage. He was 9-for-21 with three doubles and one RBI in that span.In 122 games with the Rockies at Coors Field, Dickerson hit .355 (142-for-400) with 24 homers and 78 RBI and a .675 slugging percentage.Overall, Dickerson is hitting .223 in 81 games for the Rays with 14 doubles, 13 homers and 35 RBI. He has a .274 on-base percentage and a .438 slugging percentage.I think its been a learning process for him, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. I think over the last three weeks or so, hes done a nice job. Hes made some adjustments. Hes gotten some more hits. His average has spiked up.Its not an easy thing to do to come to a new league, especially the American League East and be in that division and learn a bunch of new pitchers. They attack you a little differently than maybe they do here in the National League. Its been a challenge for him, but we have all the confidence in the world that Corey is going to continue to have success and figure things out.(He is) much more on the upswing than not. Hell get his opportunities to hit in his old ballpark. We know he has a lot of success in this park, and hopefully well use it to our advantage.On Tuesday, Dickerson will face Tyler Chatwood. The Colorado right-hander is 8-5 with a 3.29 ERA in 16 starts, 10 of which the Rockies have won. He wiill be making his third start since coming off the disabled list July 5 following a mid-back strain.ddddddddddddChatwood pitched five innings July 5 at San Francisco, allowing three hits and two runs, one earned, in five innings but walking four and striking out four in a no-decision as the Rockies beat the Giants 7-3.On July 10, Chatwood was the losing pitcher as the Rockies fell 10-3 to the Phillies. He threw five innings and gave up eight hits and four runs with three walks and two strikeouts.I just didnt have command, Chatwood said of his outing against the Phillies. I fell behind a lot of people, so I was kind of battling myself. Youre going to have games like that, and you got to get through it. I dont think I exploded in that game. I think I gave up eight singles.Chatwood threw a light bullpen session when the Rockies held a workout Thursday in Atlanta, where they began play after the All-Star break. He then threw a full-go bullpen session Saturday.Chatwood said he lowered his sight line in his side work and felt good about the results. That minor adjustment, Chatwood said, was made to help him get ahead in counts.Thats the biggest thing, he said. Ive been falling behind. Its hard to pitch like that. You cant pitch up in the zone.After undergoing his second Tommy John surgery in July 2014, Chatwood began throwing a cutter in lieu of a slider, because the former pitch puts less strain on his elbow. For the most part, Chatwood has had good results with the cutter.I felt like its a pitch I could command pretty well (to) both sides of the plate, he said. My last start, I didnt have command of it. I didnt throw very many for a strike. And if I did, I left it up. It was kind of getting big and (I was) not staying through it. Its hard to throw when you fall behind; its a contact pitch. Fall behind and try to get back even (in the count) with the fastballs and they were hitting it.Chatwood will be opposed by Rays rookie Blake Snell (1-4, 3.69 ERA).Snell lost each of his past two starts, including a home defeat to the Los Angeles Angels in his most recent outing, when he gave up two runs on four hits in six innings on July 7.

BOULDER, Colo. -- The Colorado Buffaloes were greeted by a swarm of fans upon their early morning return last weekend.That sort of welcoming brigade hasnt happened often in recent memory. Neither have wins of this magnitude.The new and improved Buffaloes (3-1, 1-0 Pac-12) stunned Oregon 41-38 in Eugene behind the performance of freshman quarterback Steven Montez. They try to follow it up Saturday as an 18 1/2-point favorite against Oregon State (1-2).As for a possible hangover effect, well, Colorado insisted the page has been turned. This is a team on the cusp of appearing in the AP Top 25 poll and trying to make a bowl appearance for the first time since 2007.Our goal every week is to go 1-0 and our ultimate goal is to be Pac-12 champions, cornerback Chidobe Awuzie said. In the grand scheme of things, it definitely helps that and we were happy after the win. But now were just trying to focus in on Oregon State and keep this train rolling.Everyone around campus appears on board, because the looks are way friendlier these days. The conversations, too.We sense a lot more trust among people and they trust us to come out with wins this time around, receiver Bryce Bobo said.The schedule certainly doesnt get any easier with the remaining teams after Saturday a combined 17-9. Theres also this: Colorado hasnt exactly followed up big wins with a string of more big wins.The Buffaloes knocked off a ranked West Virginia squad in 2008, only to go 2-7 the rest of the way. They beat Georgia in 2010, but followed it up by going 2-6 during a season in which then-coach Dan Hawkins lost his job.Being in all those close games has definitely helped us build to where we are now, Awuzie said. Weve gone through so much adversity that I feel as though, whatever comes at us, well be ready.Beavers coach Gary Andersen appreciates what the Buffaloes have accomplished under coach Mike MacIntyre, whos in his fourth season at Colorado. Andersen is trying to revitalize the program in Corvallis.Theyve continued to recruit and battle like crazy and fight in games and get better and better, Andersen said. And now theyre starting to see those Ws come their way.Things to know as Oregon State and Colorado meet for a ninth time (the Beavers lead 5-3):DECISIONS, DECISIONS: MacIntyre has quite a QB quandary -- go with senior captain Sefo Liufau on a hurt ankle or the freshman Montez who has the hot hand. Montez accounted for 468 yards of total offense in the win over the Ducks. Liufau has broken virtually every school passing mark during his time at Colorado. We need both of them, because somebodys going to get dinged up, MacIntyre said. We need both of those guys ready to play.HEAVYWEIGHTS: The Buffaloes feel like theyve earned the right to climb into the ring with the heavyweights again. We used to be a welterweight. I think we stepped up to at least being able to spar with the heavyweights, MacIntyre said. The more games we win, well see if were a heavyweight.FAST START: The Buffaloes have scored on their opening possession in every game this season. For good measure, theyve also gotten points in three of their four opening drives in the second half. Theyve built themselves a very good football team, Andersen said. Theyve ground through the process without question. Theyre playing well.BOLDEN ADVENTURE: Oregon States Victor Bolden Jr. leads the nation with a 40.2-yard average on kickoff returns. Whats more, he has two plays covering 90 or more yards -- one on a 92-yard sweep against Idaho State and another on a 99-yard kickoff return last weekend against Boise State . Bolden hurt Colorado last season with four returns for 110 yards. Hes a huge difference-maker, Andersen said. Victor is having a nice year for us at this point.MORE OFFENSIVE: The Beavers are averaging 28 points in three games, which is up from a season ago. Theyre allowing 25 points -- also an improvement. They are a much-improved football team from last year when we played them, said MacIntyre, whose team beat the Beavers 17-13 last season in Corvallis to end a 14-game conference skid.---AP Sports Writer Anne M.

Bae played bogey-free Friday on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus going into the weekend. BERKELEY, Calif. -- His injured toe no longer a concern, Californias Ivan Rabb is proving that his decision to put off the NBA for at least one year was a good one.The Golden Bears are certainly glad he stayed.Rabb scored five of his career-high 25 points in overtime and California held on to beat Louisiana Tech 68-59 on Wednesday night.All of Rabbs points in overtime came on free throws after the Golden Bears didnt go to the line at all in the second half. Rabb shot 9 of 12 and added a season-high 13 rebounds for his fourth consecutive double-double after missing two games with a toe injury.Were feeding him, California center Kingsley Okoroh said. Last year we didnt look for him as much. This year we need him to score, we need him to step up. Hes doing well what needs to be done.California made only one basket in overtime -- Grant Mullins 3-pointer -- but went 8 of 12 on free throws while holding Louisiana Tech to two points.Rabb led the way in overtime but also gave the Bears a lift with 16 points in the first half. That was an emphasis after he got off to sluggish starts in the previous three games.My goal today was to put two halves together because every game it seemed like its just been one half, Rabb said. I wasnt thinking too much. I was just letting the game come to me and I think that really benefited us as a whole.Kingsley Okoroh had nine points, 12 rebounds and matched his career-high with five blocks as California (5-1) extended its winning streak at Haas Pavilion to 24 -- two shy off the school record and tied with Virginia for the sixth-longest active streak in the nation. Charlie Moore added 19 points.Erik McCree had 11 points and 11 rebounds for Louisiana Tech (3-3) after going scoreless in the first half. Derric Jean added 13 points, seven rebounds and six assists.We were right up there until the very end, Bulldogs coach Eric Konkol said. We need to build on this so we arent in the same situation again.California fed off Rabbs fast staart and held a nine-point lead with 2:13 left in the first half before Louisiana Tech scored seven straight to pull within 31-29 at halftime.dddddddddddd thought it would be, I didnt think it would be that tough, Bears coach Cuonzo Martin said. They really made us work for shots. (Rabb) did a good job of staying aggressive, staying active, staying locked in.BIG PICTURELouisiana Tech: The Bulldogs showed some grit in taking the game to overtime after it looked like they were on the verge of being blown out early. Shooting 18 of 66 (27.3 percent) wont make it an easy pill to swallow, either. The good news is that the big three -- McCree, Jacobi Boykins and Jean -- continue to get to the basket fairly easily. The bad news is that redshirt senior Qiydar Davis might have suffered a season-ending knee injury.California: This is one that Martin cant be completely pleased with. The offense ran smoothly as long as Rabb was on the court but Cal went stagnant whenever he was on the bench. Rabbs performance is a good sign for the Bears because hell be spending additional time in the post now that backup center Kameron Rooks is out for at least a month following arthroscopic surgery on his left knee earlier Wednesday. Okoroh will get extended minutes, too, until Rooks returns.DAVIS DONE AGAIN?Davis season is in doubt after the redshirt senior appeared to injure his right knee early in the second half. Davis, who is playing on a medical redshirt waiver this season after suffering an MCL injury in 2015, had to be helped off the court in the first half before going down again with just over 15 minutes left to play.UP NEXTLouisiana Tech: The Bulldogs return home to host Southeastern Louisiana on Saturday night.California: Hosts Alcorn State on Saturday before heading to Hawaii to play Princeton and Seton Hall in the Pearl Harbor Invitational.

Custom Rays Jerseys . President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins. The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive last-place season in the NL East. The roster of breeds carrying the colors of the United States in the equestrian competition beginning this weekend at the Summer Olympics includes three Belgian Warmbloods, three Dutch Warmbloods, a Danish Warmblood, a Westphalian, an Irish Sport Horse, a Holsteiner, a Hanoverian stallion ?And a former Thoroughbred racehorse named Blackfoot Mystery.Anyone who took 35-1 on Blackfoot Mystery in a maiden claimer at Hollywood Park on the quiet Friday afternoon of July 13, 2007, probably tore up the ticket after he finished last of six going 1-1/16 miles on the main track. Too bad.Now a proud and robust 12, that same Blackfoot Mystery and rider Boyd Martin are part of the eventing team being fielded by the U.S. this week in Rio de Janeiro. These are the versatile equestrian triathletes, required to compete in jumping, dressage, and cross-country, with medals on the line for both teams and individuals.In the modern era, the list of former Thoroughbred racehorses who have made the U.S. Olympic team is short. The bar was set by For the Moment, the winner of the 1977 Blue Grass Stakes and eighth in the Kentucky Derby, who was part of the 1988 team-jumping silver-medal glory in Seoul, South Korea.For a former racehorse to get even close to such rare air is cause for celebration. Blackfoot Mystery is a poster boy for life after the racetrack, even though his career lasted only three races and he never picked up a check or, for that matter, beat a horse.He was lucky, though, to be trained by Jesus Mendoza, who donated Blackfoot Mystery to Leigh Grays Thoroughbred Rehab Center at the Winners Circle Ranch of Dr. Don Shields in Bradbury, just east of Santa Anita Park.Gray, a veterinary technician, ranch manager, and former racing official, has spent what probably feels like a lifetime in the rehabilitation, retraining, and offtrack placement of racehorses who can no longer make the grade. She was already the go-to resource at Southern California tracks for years before she founded the Thoroughbred Rehab Center in 2003. More recently, the TRC has developed a close working relationship with the California Retirement Management Account, which helps to fund the states qualified aftercare programs.The call Gray received from Mendoza nine years ago had a familiar ring.It was clear that racing was not going to be Blackfoots forte, Gray said. When he called me, he said, Youll love this one, which is pretty much what he says every time he calls. He was attractive but big and gangly. He was really easygoing, the kind of disposition I look for that makes them easier to place. He just needed more time because he was going to be such a big horse.Blackfoot Mystery is a Kentucky-bred son of the Coxs Ridge sstallion Out of Place, who suffered an irreparable injury in his Claiborne Farm paddock in 2010 at the age of 23.ddddddddddddHe is buried at Claibornes Marchmont Cemetery, alongside such champions as Damascus, Ack Ack, Easy Goer, Conquistador Cielo, Unbridled, Numbered Account, Moccasin, and Dearly Precious.Blackfoot Mysterys dam is True Mystery, a daughter of Proud Truth, the 1985 Breeders Cup Classic winner who bequeathed his grandson his chestnut color and considerable size. He was 16-1 or 16-2 when I had him as a youngster, Gray said. And he only got bigger from there.The journey from last place in a maiden claimer to the starting team for the Olympics took Blackfoot Mystery from Gray in Southern California to Shirley Aronson and then Lisa Peecook in Northern California, then eastward to Kelly Prather in Pennsylvania, and finally to Olympian Boyd Martin, who was part of the 2012 U.S. team.Martin and Blackfoot Mystery must handle all three eventing disciplines. But it is the cross-country that has their fans excited.Thoroughbreds are perfectly suited for this sport, Gray said. They have the endurance to go the distance. They have the fortitude, the brain, theyre strong, and they can bring the speed. Dressage is always a difficult phase for eventers, but its the cross-country that is the main, hard test.In Olympics past, the cross-country courses were unforgiving, sometimes downright brutal.Cross-country has changed, Gray said. Its now pretty fast, and they ask different questions. They have narrows and corners, which means the horse has to be very agile, thinking on his feet. Thoroughbreds do that in spades.All the major betting shops encourage play on the Olympics, equestrians included. With 15 countries represented, Coral has the German team heavily favored to win the eventing competition, with Britain and New Zealand next and the United States offered at 12-1.The dressage portion was scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, while Blackfoot Mystery and his teammates will take to the cross-country course on Monday. (DVRs should be set for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern on the USA network.) The eventers wrap up on Tuesday with the jumping competition, after which Blackfoot Majesty can kick back and enjoy the synchronized swimming.I cant wait, Gray said. I think he is talented enough and has the potential to get a medal, but there are some incredibly tough competitors from Europe wholl be there. Out of 580-something horses that Ive rescued so far in the last 15, 20 years, this is my Olympian - and probably will be my only one. Im going to relish every minute. ' ' '

SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah Jazz have traded center Tibor Pleiss to the Philadelphia 76ers for guard Kendall Marshall in a cost-cutting move.

CLEVELAND -- The Yankees got a good win against a first-place team Thursday night. Manager Joe Girardi hopes there are plenty more where that came from.There needs to be a sense of urgency. The months are ticking away, Girardi said. We cant expect to have one good month and be in the playoffs.The Yankees will continue their quest to climb back into relevance in the AL East on Friday night, when they face the Cleveland Indians, who are in first place in the AL Central. Fridays game will be the second game of a four-game series that will take both teams into the All-Star break.The Yankees posted a much-needed 5-4 win in the series opener Thursday. The win came in game seven of a 10-game trip that has taken New York from San Diego to Chicago, where they played the White Sox, and then on to Cleveland. New York lost two of three to the Padres and lost two of three in White Sox.Weve lost two series in a row. Its been frustrating trying to climb back into this thing, said Girardi, whose team is still below .500 (42-43) and sits in fourth place in the AL East, 7 1/2 games behind first place Baltimore.Friday night in Cleveland, the Yankees will send rookie Chad Green (1-1, 4.09) to the mound in his third major league start. In his last start, July 3 in San Diego, Green picked up his first major league win, a 6-3 victory over the Padres in which he gave up one run and three hits in six innings, striking out eight, with no walks.Greens mound opponent on Friday will be Corey Kluber, a former (2014) Cy Young Award winner, who on Thursday was named to the American League All-Star team. In 17 starts, Kluber has a 3.79 ERA, with a deceiving record of 8-8. Kluber leads the American League in complete games (3) and hes tied for the league lead in shutouts (2). Kluber will be making his fourth career start against the Yankees. In the first three, he was 1-1 with a 2.65 ERA.At the beginning of this seven-game homestand that will lead into the All-Star break, Indians manager Terry Francona talked about hoping his team could grind through the remaining games before the break. The team was coming off a grueling portion of their schedule in which they had played 20 of their previous 26 games on the road.Cleveland is 2-2 in the first four games of this seven-game homestand. The Indians won two of three from Detroit, and on Thursday they lost the first game of their four-game series with the Yankees.The Indians are still in first place, 6 1/2 games ahead of Detroit in the AL Central race. Weve just got to grind through this week and then get to the break, Francona said. We have a chance to do something special. But being special is hard to do.The Indians may be experiencing a slight hangover from their team-record 14-game winning streak, which ended on July 2. Since the end of their streak, they are 2-4.

Oklahoma?running back Joe Mixon told police in 2014 that it felt like a dude hit me when Amelia Molitor slapped him, and that he punched her as a reaction, according to a video The Oklahoman obtained of his interview with police three days after the incident inside a sandwich shop near campus.In the video, Mixon told police that he heard a racial slur from Molitors male friend, but not from Molitor. And Mixon admitted that he responded with an anti-gay slur at the male friend.The gay dude ... he called me something, Mixon said in the video. He was like, n-----. So then I was like, you got me messed up. And then I called him a f-g. And after that, the girl, she dropped her purse, thats when she came in my face, pushed me, and then my glasses came off, and then, like, I had, like, jumped at her, like, to watch out. And then she came in my face. I put my head down. And she swung on me.And after that, like, I was so shocked, because she hit me so hard. It felt like a dude hit me. And after that, like, my face went boom, my reaction was just right there.On Friday, Mixons attorneys released two surveillance videos that showed the punch, which fractured four bones in Molitors face. Mixon was charged with a misdemeanor at the time of the incident, and the university suspended him for the entire 2014 season.The City of Norman had shielded the surveillance video from the public since the incident, prompting a lawsuit from the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters. Earlier this month, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled in favor of the broadcasters and ordered the City of Norman to release the tape under Oklahomas Open Records Act. The city had until Dec. 26 to either release the video or file an appeal. In a preemptive move, Mixons attorneys released the tape. According to The Oklahoman, the release came around the time of Molitors graduation ceremony at Oklahoma.In a formal apology?he issued last month, Mixon suggested racial slurs directed at him initiated the incident.In the video obtained by The Oklahoman, Norman police detective David Freudiger told Mixon that Molitors version of events were that Mixon and some of his teammates begin harassing Molitor and her friend, because the friend is gay, and that they went into the sandwich shop to evade the situation.Mixon told Freudiger that Molitor intentionally blew cigarette smoke in his face and teammate Mark Andrews face outside the sandwich shop. Mixon said Molitor and Andrews exchanged words and, After that, the girl, I guess she got scared or what, she went up inside, and she went to talk to the person that I came there with [teammate David Smith], and I guesss she knew him or whatever.ddddddddddddSo when she went inside, she was talking about how we were trying to jump her. So thats when the dude [Molitors friend] went inside, and I followed the dude. Thats when I interrupted her, and I was talking to Sooner Dave [Smith], talking about how nobody was trying to jump her, we had no problem with her, she was just being disrespectful, you know ... smoking in my face and acting crazy.In the surveillance video, Mixon turned away, but he appeared to say something to Molitors friend. Molitor pushed Mixon. He lunged at her. She slapped him. Then he punched her, which caused her face to slam back into a table.I pretty much had a point in the store where we got into it, and I was like, you know, she being disrespectful, I felt like I should have left it alone, Mixon said. But then once the dude called me the n-----, I mean, it pretty much got my, you know, thoughts off of the whole situation. Thats when it just escalated.According to The Oklahoman, Mixon said the racial slur was not said to him, but about him. A police interviewer called that strange, since Smith -- Mixons teammate, friend and an African-American -- was sitting at the table.I mean, even though she pushed me, I didnt think she was going to hit me, Mixon said. I was so shocked, because she hit me so hard, it felt like really like a dude hit me. And then, like, my face just started ringing. And after that, like, it was just like a reaction.Mixon left the sandwich shop immediately after the punch. According to The Oklahoman, several of Mixons Sooner teammates -- including Michiah Quick, Daniel Brooks and Andrews -- followed.I just felt, I was like ... what I got myself into? Mixon said. And then once I left, I mean, I felt bad. Even though she hit me and it hurt, I mean, it was just like the fact that you know me, you know, being out of character and, you know, putting myself into a certain situation. I just started thinking about the future and everything else.In 11 games for the Sooners this season, Mixon has rushed for a team-leading 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns.
