| HOUSTON -- Mike Moustakas homered in the 11th inning to lift the Kansas City Royals to a 6-4 win over the Houston Astros on Wednesday night. Jordan 1 High Wholesale . Moustakas has been off to a tough start this season and was hitting .098 before his solo shot to the seats in right field off Jerome Williams (0-1) to lead off the 11th. A small group of Royals fans stood and yelled Moooooose as he rounded the bases after his first homer this year. Jarrod Dyson singled and added an insurance run on a fielders choice. Danny Duffy (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings for the win and Greg Holland allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless 11th for his fifth save. Jason Castro and Marc Krauss both had two-run home runs for the Astros. Heralded Houston prospect George Springer made his major league debut, batting second and playing right field. The 24-year-old, who hit 37 homers combined in Double-A and Triple-A last season, singled and walked, but struck out with one out and a runner on first in the 11th. Danny Valencia had a solo homer in the second and Salvador Perez tied it up in the seventh with a two-run single. The Astros went 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position and left 12 men on base. Eric Hosmer had two hits for his fourth multi-hit game. He led the American League last season with 60 such games. Lorenzo Cain and Alcides Escobar singled with one out in the seventh inning and Hosmer walked with two outs to load the bases. A sharp groundball single by Perez off Matt Albers rolled just out of reach of a diving Marwin Gonzalez and into left field to score two and tie it at 4-4. The homer by Krauss put Houston up 4-2 in the sixth inning. Alex Gordon drew a one-out walk in the fourth inning before a single by Valencia. Dallas Keuchel plunked Justin Maxwell on the right hand to load the bases and Gordon scored on a groundout by Cain to tie it at 2-2. Springer got his first major league hit on a dribbler that travelled just a few feet down the third base line with one out in the third inning. His parents were sitting behind home plate and his mother stood up and waved her hands in the air when he reached first base. Castros opposite field homer to left field followed to put Houston up 2-1. Valencias shot to the Crawford Boxes in left field gave Kansas City a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Springer drew a leadoff walk in the fifth inning, but was caught stealing in a rundown later in the inning. Hosmer made a nifty play on a grounder Matt Dominguez hit off the end of his bat for the second out in the eighth inning. He grabbed it on the run backhanded and flipped it to pitcher Kelvin Herrera, who was covering first. NOTES: Cain was initially credited with a single to start the ninth inning, but Houston manager Bo Porter challenged the call and officials found he didnt beat the throw. ... Right-hander Brad Peacock will take Lucas Harrells spot in the Astros rotation. Harrell was designated for assignment on Wednesday after starting the season 0-3. ...

German qualifier Bjorn Phau beat Dudi Sela of Israel to reach his first semifinals in nearly five years. Air Jordan 1 Black Toe White Mens . The Rangers centre left early in Game 1 with an upper body injury after being checked by Canadiens defenceman Mike Weaver and has not played since. Brassard told reporters after practice that he was good to go. That brought a smile to the face of Rangers coach Alain Vigneault. http://www.bestfakejordan1.com/cheap-jordan-1-chicago-outlet.html . "Hes over there," the first baseman said. "You dont need to talk to anybody else." Indeed, Peralta did it all as the majors top team won again.MINNEAPOLIS - The Houston Rockets found themselves in an unexpected fight as they staggered into overtime against lowly Minnesota, and James Harden and Dwight Howard couldnt do anything to help them.In what has quickly become a defining characteristic for this version of the Rockets, they somehow found a way.Harden had 38 points before fouling out and Nick Johnson scored on a driving layup with 0.8 seconds to go in overtime that helped the Rockets escape with a 114-112 victory over the Timberwolves on Friday night.I foul out and they still go out there and win the game, Harden said. Small things like that put it in our minds that were building and were growing as a team.Harden made 11 of 17 shots and also had six assists, but he fouled out with 1:20 to play in regulation and the Rockets let a 13-point lead with 5 minutes to go slip away. Jason Terry, the veteran who has been so valuable with Howard out, hit a 3-pointer and then two free throws in overtime to finish with 19 points. Terry also fed Johnson for the winning bucket.Thaddeus Young had 19 points for the Timberwolves, the last two coming with 15.9 seconds to go in overtime to tie the game at 112.But Johnson got loose on the final possession and bulled to the rim to hit a tough layup that gave the Rockets (15-4) their sixth win in seven games.Shabazz Muhammad scored 20 points for the Timberwolves, who were coming off an embarrassing loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday night that snapped the 76ers 17-game losing streak to start the season. Minnesota put up a much more inspired effort on Friday night, outscoring Houston 22-9 in the final 5 minutes of regulation, but couldnt finish it off.It hurt for two days, how embarrassing it was to lose to Philadelphia and all that (stuff), Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. Bottom line is they played harder than we did the whole night, but we just got lucky and won.The Wolves were down 96-83 before Zach LaVine converted a three-point play off a dunk, Corey Brewer threw down a dunk in transition and Andrew Wiggins dunk gave the Wolves a 105-101 lead with 58 seconds to play.Donatas Motiejunas scored on a hook shot and hit two free throws to tie the game with 15 seconds to play, and Chase Budinger missed a long jumper at the buzzzer that wouldve won it for Minnesota. Off White x Retro Air Jordan 1 White Mens. e really shouldve won, said LaVine, who scored 17 points but missed two open jumpers late in the fourth. We made some bad plays, but we grew and did a lot better than we did last game.Both teams have been racked by injuries, with the Wolves missing Ricky Rubio (ankle), Kevin Martin (wrist), Nikola Pekovic (foot), Ronny Turiaf (hip) and Mo Williams (back).The Rockets have plenty of injuries of their own. Howard has missed the last nine games because of a strained right knee, point guard Patrick Beverley is out with a hamstring strain and power forward Terrence Jones has a left leg injury.___TIP-INSRockets: Trevor Ariza had 17 points and nine rebounds in 44 minutes. ... Kostas Papanikolaou had 10 points and four rebounds off the bench, but couldnt finish the game because of a knee injury that McHale said will be evaluated on Saturday. ... It was the 16th time in 19 games that the Rockets hit at least 10 3-pointers.Timberwolves: Coach Flip Saunders said Williams would not make the trip to San Antonio for Saturdays game and will be re-evaluated when the Wolves come back home. ... All five Wolves starters scored in double figures, including 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists for Brewer.JOHNSONS BIG SHOTJohnsons game-winner came off a busted play, with Terry running a pick-and-roll with Motiejunas and the defence collapsing on him as he went to the basket. LaVine lost Johnson in the scramble, and he slipped by him for the layup.We got the win, a relieved Johnson said. So thats all that matters.MARTIN ON THE MENDMartin spoke to reporters Friday for the first time since he broke his right wrist against the Knicks on Nov. 19. Its a nearly identical injury to the one he had on his left wrist a few years ago, but Martin said he expects a longer, harder recovery this time around.I do remember my left, there was a lot of soreness, but I dont have a left hand anyways so I didnt really need that, Martin said, a joking reference to his proclivity to going to his right. With the right, its going to be a tougher rehab. Ill have to put in a lot more time in this one. So well see.UP NEXTRockets: Host Phoenix on Saturday.Timberwolves: At San Antonio on Saturday. ' ' ' |
