momentum builder because the Yankees were down


GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Russell Wilson started focusing on the Seattle Seahawks next game minutes after leaving the cold turf at Lambeau Field.He wasnt in the mood about talking about each one of his career-high five interceptions against the Green Bay Packers.Seattles 38-10 loss on Sunday to the Packers was a stunning turn for a team brimming with confidence following a blowout win last week over Carolina.The Seahawks were dominated on both sides of the ball, though Wilsons awful game might have been the most startling disappointment for Seattle.There were just too many in there and we dont have to talk about each play. I just think we have to play better, Wilson said. Obviously, we cant turn the ball over and I put that on me.Well, not entirely.Three interceptions deflected off his receivers hands, including one that also caromed off Doug Baldwins helmet to cornerback Damarious Randall. Seattle gave up six turnovers overall.We knew if we got some turnovers early, wed be all right. We didnt expect six of them, but when you get six, thats a good day, Packers safety Micah Hyde said.Wilson finished 22 of 39 for 240 yards and a touchdown. The Seahawks missed out on a chance to clinch the NFC West following Arizonas loss to Miami earlier Sunday.The thing just snowballed on us and it just turned out to be a terrible night, coach Pete Carroll said.It was certainly cold in Green Bay , though snow had subsided by kickoff. Winds were light. Carroll said footing on the field wasnt an issue, though a couple defenders slipped on key plays.Cornerback Jeremy Lane fell on Davante Adams 66-yard touchdown pass on the games opening drive.Seattle linebacker K.J. Wright slipped on consecutive plays in the second quarter, and the Packers took advantage each time. He was covering Ty Montgomery in the flat on a pass that turned into a 24-yard gain to the Seattle 9. He slipped again on the next play trailing Nelson across the end zone, leaving the receiver open for a touchdown pass and a 21-3 lead with 5:15 left in the first half.We had the right cleats on, it was just terrible, defensive lineman Cliff Avril said about the footing. He said it got worse as the game progressed.The field was covered by a tarp earlier in the day. The Packers, who are used to December snow, didnt seem to have problems with footing.Green Bay gained 330 yards in Seattles first game without former All-Pro safety Earl Thomas , who is out for the season with a broken leg.We just didnt have his hustle out there. Earl has a hustle about him, we just didnt have him, safety Kam Chancellor said.But they still had Wilson, and a team-wide confidence that came with blowing out the Panthers.Instead, Wilson had a game more in line with his four-interception day against Green Bay in the NFC Championship game on Jan. 18, 2015, though that game did end with Wilsons 35-yard touchdown pass in overtime for a 28-22 win.Anytime I turn the ball over, I hate that, Wilson said. So we just want to move on and keep swinging, we have to. Thats the best option for us and thats our focus right now.Seattle has a quick turnaround with a home on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Air Force 1 Outlet .C. -- Rodney Hood connected from all over the court while freshman Jabari Parker was busy swatting shots and scoring in transition.

Once again, DeLaet finished tied for second at a PGA Tour stop on the weekend, this time at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. The pride of Weyburn, Sask. CLEVELAND -- Manager Joe Girardi of the New York Yankees probably wont have closer Aroldis Chapman available on Sunday, but thats fine with Girardi, because Chapman was instrumental in the Yankees 7-6 win over the Cleveland Indians in 11 innings on Saturday.Chapman pitched a career-high 2 1/3 innings.We had to use our pen hard today, but weve got time off coming (during the All-Star break), so I was willing to do it, Girardi said.So in Sundays final game of the four-game series between the Indians and Yankees, the Yankees may be working without a safety net as it were, if Chapman isnt available.But the Yankees will certainly have the momentum going into the game. They have won two of the first three games of the series against the AL Central-leading Indians, and Sundays win was a momentum builder because the Yankees were down and came back to take the lead a couple of times.It was a good win and we had a lot of big two-out rallies, Girardi said.On Sunday, the Yankees will send Masahiro Tanaka (6-2, 3.12) to the mound. Cleveland will counter with Carlos Carrasco (5-2, 2.47).It will be the final game before the break for both teams. For the Yankees it will be the end of a long 10-game trip to San Diego, Chicago and Cleveland.The Yankees are 4-5 on the trip, so a win Sunday would give them a .500 trip to take into the break.The Indians are concluding a seven-game homestand against the Tigers and Yankees. Cleveland is 3--3 in the first six games of the homestand.dddddddddddd.Tanaka will be making his third career start vs. the Indians. In his first two he was 0-2 with a 5.68 ERA. Carrasco has made six career starts against the Yankees. He is 3-2 with a 4.19 ERA in those games. In two starts against New York last year he was 1-0 with a 1.84 ERA.Indians manager Terry Francona make no secret about the fact that he and his team are looking forward to the four-day All-Star break.The break is coming at a really good time for us, Francona said. Weve been playing a lot of baseball lately. Our guys can see (the break) coming, but I always tell them you dont coast into the break, you go 99 miles per hour, and then stop.The Indians will go into Sundays game with a bullpen that might be a little short.Starter Danny Salazar only pitched five-plus innings in Saturdays loss. The Indians used six relievers, so they will need Carrasco to give them a quality start and pitch deep into the game.The Yankees bullpen should be a little fresher Sunday. They used three relievers in Saturdays game, but one of them was Chapman.No player on either side will be looking forward to the break more than Indians catcher Yan Gomes, who was 0-for-5 on Saturday. Gomes is hitless in his last 18 at-bats and is hitting .038 (1-for-26) in July. ' ' '
