ECC okays 27pc hike in Kissan loan package
By Khaleeq Kiani 2022-11-15
ISLAMABAD: The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet on Monday approved Kissan Package with a 27 per cent increase in agriculture loan target to Rs1.8 trillion and reshaped Kamyab Jawan Programme and Kamyab Pakistan Programmes through consolidation of their similar schemes.
The meeting of the ECC presided over by Finance MinisterIshaqDaralsoapproved thestandardlegalframework for mega solar power projects, the transfer of 2,530 kanal land from the State Engineering Corporation of the Ministry of Industries to the Heavy Mechanical Complex of Special Plans Division at a nominal price and further increased the limit for the premium payable on import of high-speed diesel to avert supply chain disruption.
The ECC, however, deferred a demand of the Election Commission of Pakistan for a Rs47.417bn supplementary grant for the conduct of general elections.
On the request of the Ministry of National Food Security & Research, the ECC formally approved the enhanced Kissan Package already announced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Oct 30. Under the package, the target for agriculture loan disbursement has been enhanced to Rs1.802tr from Rs1,419 billion, the price of DAP fertiliser is to come down to Rs11,250 per 50-kg bag from Rs13,750 and interest-free loans would be provided to convert 300,000 tube wells to solar energy. Another part of the package fixing of electricity tariff of Rs13 per unit was withdrawn by the Power Division.
The ECC approved the proposal of the Finance Division for revision and renaming of Prime Minister`s Kamyab Jawan-Youth Entrepreneurship Scheme (PMKJYES) as Prime Minister`s Youth Business & Agriculture Loan Scheme (PMYB & ALS) to make it more purposeful and beneficial for small businesses and agriculture.
Higher diesel import premiums Ministry of Energy, Petroleum Division told the ECC meeting that ECC on Nov 4 approved an upper limit of $15 per barrel as an import premium for high-speed diesel (HSD). However, while the product was not available in the Gulf market due to its increased demand in Western and European markets, the demand for HSD had substantially increased due to the ongoing sowing season and rehabilitation efforts after the floods in the country.
As a result, there were higher risk premiums charged to Pakistani oil companies going up to $22 per barrel and expected to go up with winter demand, thus an unsustainable situation at a time the stocks in the country had depleted toless than12 days ofcover.
Therefore, to ensure premium reimbursement to importers for a smooth and sustainable supply of HSD in the country, the ECC allowed a higher premium on HSD subject to a maximum capping at $16.75 per barrel for importing OMCs other than PSO for November.
The ECC also approved a summary of the Ministry of Energy, Power Division on standardised security package agreements for large-scale solar PV projects for substitution of expensive imported fossil fuel-based power generation under the framework. The meeting, however, did not approve a condition proposed by the Power Division suggesting a special payment mechanism and quarterly indexation.
The ECC, however, authorised Boards of Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) and Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) to approve any amendments in the IA (Implementation Agreement) and EPA (Energy Purchase Agreement), as the case may be, that are project specific and may be required to comply with Nepra`s tariff approval and/or generation licence for specific projects.
The ECC also approved a summary of the Strategic Plan Division (SPD) for the transfer of more than 316 acres of Heavy Electrical Complex (HEC) and State Engineering Corporation (SEC) land to HMC and HMC-3 at a nominal price of Rs1.395bn.
The ECC also approved a summary of the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations for a technical supplementary grant as rupee cover for the remaining amount of the ADB Financing Agreement of $12.20 million (equivalent to Rs2.928bn) out of a $500 million ADB loan for procurement of Covid-19 vaccine and discharging liability of Covid-19 campaign during the current financial year.


One of the more difficult challenges of aging is realizing your home may no longer safe or usable for you. Steps and elevation are generally the biggest hurdles. And usually the cost to renovate and remodel is such that it's preferable to move. Architect John Salmen specializes in barrier-free design and spent a lot time thinking about the home that would meet his family needs as they grow older.
Working with his wife, Ann Scher, they decided "to look for a run-down house in a good neighborhood that had services within walking distance to support us for the rest of our lives." The house would be remodeled using the people-friendly principles of universal design.
It took two years but they found the ideal house to remodel in Takoma Park, Maryland, a circa-1910 three-story house. And another year to complete the renovation and remodel which included regrading the driveway to allow for installation of a residential elevator. The elevator connects the first floor/basement to the third floor and is essential to making this design a success.
Other key features include a studio/guest room on the first floor that is plumbed for a future kitchenette. Allowing for the possibility of a parent moving in or perhaps a live-in assistant. There are no thresholds on the interior doors and no steps on the entry doors. Dual height counters and 36-inch wide doors throughout allow for wheelchair access if needed.

Analysis of clinical characteristics, management and survival of patients with Ta T1 bladder tumours in Sweden between 1997 and 2001
Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology. - : Taylor & Francis. - 0036-5599 .- 1651-2065. ; 40:4, s. 276-282
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
Objective. To analyse the management and outcome of patients with Ta T1 urinary bladder cancer in a population-based national database. Material and methods. Between 1997 and 2001, 94% of all newly diagnosed cases of urinary bladder cancer were registered in the Swedish National Bladder Cancer Register. Data were analysed regarding gender, healthcare region, stage and grade for patients with Ta T1 tumours. The choice of initial treatment in different regions was reviewed. Survival was analysed by calculating relative survival. Results. Out of 9859 registered patients, there were 4442 Ta tumours and 2139 T1 tumours. The median age at diagnosis was 72 and 73 years for patients with Ta and T1 tumours, respectively. Seventy-six percent of the patients were men. The choice of treatment varied between different healthcare regions. A significant trend towards an increased use of intravesical therapy was seen over time. Significantly fewer older than younger patients received such therapy. There was also a tendency towards more intensive therapy in men. The bladder cancer relative 5-year survival rate was 93% for Ta and 75% for T1 tumours. Survival was similar for men and women. Conclusions. Our analysis revealed a regional variation in the treatment of bladder cancer. A large group of patients, even those at high risk, were still undertreated. However, the recent publication of guidelines may have contributed to an increased use of intravesical treatment. Urologists tended to treat TaG3 and T1G3 tumours more aggressively than T1G2 tumours. Therapeutic aggressiveness decreased as the age of the patients increased. The survival rate of patients with bladder cancer in Sweden seems to remain at the levels previously reported for the 1980s.

Analysis of progression and survival after 10 years of a randomized prospective study comparing mitomycin-C and bacillus Calmette-Guérin in patients with high-risk bladder cancer
Ingår i: BJU International. - 1464-4096 .- 1464-410X. ; 99:4, s. 817-820
Objective: To report the 10-year follow-up of a study randomizing between instillations of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and mitomycin-C (MMC) for treating high-risk and not muscle-invasive urinary bladder cancer to assess progression, the need for more aggressive treatment and survival (cancer-specific and overall), as many of the published studies comparing different treatments for disease that is not muscle-invasive have a short follow-up. Patients and methods: Between 1987 and 1992, 261 patients were included; they had frequently recurring Ta/T1G1–G2, T1G3 or primary Tis-dysplasia. The patients were randomized to treatment with either 40 mg of MMC or 120 mg of BCG (Danish strain 1331) given weekly for 6 weeks, then monthly up to a year and finally every third month for a further year. The 250 evaluable patients were followed using hospital files and national registers on causes of death. Results: The median follow-up for survivors was 123 months. The disease progressed in 58 (23%) of the patients, 34 in the MMC group and 24 in the BCG group (P = 0.26). Of the 140 patients who died, 68 were in the BCG and 72 in the MMC group (log-rank P = 0.98); most (95, 68%) died from other causes. Conclusion: Based on the follow-up of the present patients it cannot be concluded that the drugs originally administered, MMC or BCG, differed in their effect on progression, need for subsequent treatment or survival.

NACO passes horse resolution.
Posted on July 23, 2014 by Protect Mustangs
Wild horses rescued from a kill-buyer auction in August 2013 (Photo © Anne Novak)
By Tracie Sulllivan Cross-posted for educational purposes from The Spectrum
CEDAR CITY – In an effort to gather support for recent legislation introduced by Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT Iron County), Iron County Commissioner Dave Miller pushed a resolution through last week at the National Association of Counties that sends a resounding message back to Congress — let the states manage their own wild horses.
The resolution, which was also carried by County Commissioner Mark Whitney, Garfield County Commissioner Leland Pollock and Piute County Commissioner Darin Bushman, was unanimously passed by all 3,069 county members of NACo.
"It went through with very little to no debate," Bushman said. "It was amazing."
Stewart recently introduced the Wild Horse Oversight Act of 2014, H.R. 5058, that if passed would take jurisdiction from the Bureau of Land Management and give it to the states and Indian Tribes to implement their own management plans for the wild horses and burros according to their specific needs.
In an interview with The Spectrum and Daily News Monday, Stewart said NACo's resolution will go far to help him in getting H.R. 5058 through Congress.
"It clearly helps us. This resolution was passed unanimously," Stewart said. "We're not talking about all conservative Republican counties here that passed it either but many political philosophies, and they all agreed that the states have the right to manage their own wild horses. Some of these counties are controlled by independents and Democrats, so this will help us to build a broad coalition of supporters. I'm very grateful for that."
The resolution lends support for Stewart's legislation, calling for the federal government to "give individual states exclusive authority to appropriate herd management levels and dispose of animals that exceed AMLs at state's discretion, just like States do now for other wildlife species."
Stewart said while it's still early in the process, he hasn't run into any issues with the Congressional delegation. He feels he may even have the support of Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, long a Democratic stalwart.
"I can't speak for Sen. Harry Reid but the reality is his state has a much bigger problem with the wild horses and even he has expressed frustration with the BLM's management of the wild horses," Stewart said.
While at the NACo conference in New Orleans, Miller said he spent time with a few congressional leaders including Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu — who he believes will support efforts to turn the management of the wild horses over to the states.

Q: How to ignore timezones in Sails.js I have a legacy database where dates are stored without timezone information. I need to read these into the client at face value, that is, 2 pm in the server timezone should be interpreted as 2 pm in the client timezone.
I was able to remove timezones when querying the server by replacing Date.prototype.toJSON with a method that simply ignores timezones. Now I need a similar solution server-side.
This is not a duplicate of how to set local timezone in sails. I want to unset it.
EDIT
The dates are correct in PostGRES, but Waterline/Sails seem to translate it to UTC before turning it into JSON. I don't want this to happen. A query in PostGRES returns 2013-02-28 15:00:00, but when I console.log the result from the same query in Sails (through a custom made toJSON method) I get "2013-02-28T07:00:00.000Z" instead. And then it gets sent to the client and translated to the client's local time... you get the picture.

A: So sails-postgresql timezone support is broken. This is my workaround. I parse the date string back to a JavaScript Date instance, set it to UTC time, then return the ISO string with the timezone chopped off. The client never complains. :)
This is all done in api/model/theModel.js, as explained in the docs.
    toJSON: function() {

        var obj = this.toObject();

        if (obj.datetime) {

            var date = new Date(Date.parse(obj.datetime)),
                y = date.getFullYear(),
                m = date.getMonth(),
                d = date.getDate(),
                h = date.getHours(),
                M = date.getMinutes(),
                newDate = new Date();

            newDate.setUTCFullYear(y);
            newDate.setUTCMonth(m);
            newDate.setUTCDate(d);
            newDate.setUTCHours(h);
            newDate.setUTCMinutes(M);

            obj.datetime = newDate.toISOString().slice(0,-8);
        }

        return obj;
    },

Q: What is the `e` notation regarding to decimal numbers? Say the following number: $\text{1.4E-46}$.
What is the e meaning? I'm not talking about euler number.
Thanks in advance.

A: It's another way to express scientific notation; the numbers before E represent the front factor, and the numbers after represent the power (base 10). So, if you see $aEb=a\cdot 10^b$.

A: It's $10^x$. For example $$3e-4=3\cdot 10^{-4}.$$

A: In this context it stands for exponentiation with base ten. It's called scientific notation.
$a E b = a \times 10^b$


PHILADELPHIA (AP) — In a story Aug. 17 about the first game of a doubleheader between the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-steve-carlton-jersey , The Associated Press reported erroneously that the Mets broke a franchise record for runs set on Aug. 16, 2017, during their 24-4 win over the Phillies. The Mets' previous record for runs of 23 was set on Aug. 16, 1987, against Chicago Cubs.A corrected version of the story is below:Hoskins homers again, Phillies beat Mets 9-6 to earn splitRhys Hoskins hit a three-run homer, Scott Kingery had a solo shot and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets 9-6 to earn a doubleheader spitBy ROB MAADDIAP Sports WriterPHILADELPHIA (AP) — Rhys Hoskins erased an ugly start with one big swing.Hoskins hit a three-run homer, Scott Kingery had a solo shot and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets 9-6 on Thursday night to split their doubleheader.In the first game, Jose Bautista hit a grand slam and had a career-high seven RBIs as the Mets set a franchise record for runs, prompting the Phillies to use two position players to pitch the final three innings of a 24-4 rout.Philadelphia manager Gabe Kapler defended the decision to use Roman Quinn and Kingery on the mound in the opener and took plenty of heat from fans and media on social media.His players backed him up."You trust Gabe," Hoskins said. "It's worked. We don't see any madness in his method."The Phillies moved within 1½ games of NL East-leading Atlanta.The Mets began the nightcap with three straight doubles on Zach Eflin's first four pitches. Michael Conforto's two-run double made it 2-0.But then Hoskins crushed one high off the foul pole to give the Phillies a 3-2 lead in the bottom half against Steven Matz (5-10), just activated from the disabled list. Hoskins, who went deep in both ends of the twinbill, has 11 of his 25 homers since the All-Star break — and three in the last four games."Rhys set the tone," Kapler said. "We're not down for long. We can take a punch and come out swinging."The Phillies added three runs in the second. Kingery homered, Wilson Ramos had an RBI single and Cesar Hernandez swiped home on a double steal.Eflin (9-4) gave up four runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings. Seranthony Dominguez got the last two outs."I was in a funk the whole night and didn't have my best command, but my slider saved me Paul DeJong Jersey ," Eflin said.In the opener, Corey Oswalt (2-2) allowed four solo homers in six innings, Amed Rosario hit a leadoff homer and had three RBIs and the Mets took advantage of four errors to score 11 unearned runs.Even reliever Jerry Blevins got his first career hit, a line-drive RBI single off Kingery."There's nothing better," Blevins said. "It's something you dream about as a kid. When I tell the story, I'll say I turned around a 95 (mph fastball). It's pretty awesome."The Mets scored more than 15 runs in consecutive games for the first time in franchise history. They beat Baltimore 16-5 Wednesday night.Hoskins, Maikel Franco, Nick Williams and Jorge Alfaro went deep for the Phillies.Quinn, the team's fourth outfielder, gave up a homer to Conforto on his second pitch — a 79 mph fastball. Quinn got five outs, gave up seven runs and threw 42 pitches. Kingery went the final 1 1/3 innings and allowed two runs.Mets right fielder Brandon Nimmo left the game after injuring his left index finger hitting a grounder to third base with two outs and the bases loaded in the third. Nimmo fell to the ground as the ball rolled to Franco, who was late tagging third but threw to first to easily get the out.X-rays on Nimmo's finger were negative and he said he'll have an MRI on Friday. Bautista replaced him."I just said, 'Oh, crud,'" Nimmo said. "It hit my knuckle."Phillies starter Ranger Suarez (1-1) gave up eight runs — four earned — and 11 hits in four innings. Mark Leiter Jr. allowed seven unearned runs and four hits in one inning.After Alfaro's shot cut it to 5-4, the Mets broke loose for a 10-run fifth. Suarez balked in a run and exited after Bautista followed with an RBI single.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Koda Glover rewarded his manager's faith.Bryce Harper had three hits and drove in three runs, Glover earned the save in the first opportunity since Ryan Madson was placed on the disabled list, and the Washington Nationals snapped a four-game losing streak with a 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night.The Nationals won for just the third time in their last 10 games and snapped the Cardinals' season-high, eight-game winning streak."We needed a win today," Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. "Get on that plane, have a nice happy flight and come back tomorrow and be at home and be ready."Tanner Roark (8-12) gave up four runs, three earned, in six innings.A beleaguered bullpen that had blown two leads to start the losing streak took care of the rest. Justin Miller pitched two scoreless innings before Glover closed it out."There's been a lot of changes (in the bullpen)," Miller said. "It's unfortunate, a couple of injuries and stuff like that, but I don't really look at it as I've got the seventh or eighth or anything like that. I'm just going out there just trying to do my job."Glover took the loss in the series opener on Monday, giving up a game-ending homer to Paul DeJong."The first game of the series didn't go as I would have liked for it to have went Evan Longoria Jersey ," Glover said. "So to get put back in that situation or even a better situation to get a save, I'm happy with that outcome."Harper drove in the game's first run with a double in the first and knocked in two more with a bases-loaded single in the fourth to give the Nationals a 4-1 lead.A pair of errors helped the Nationals extend their lead to 5-1 in the fifth. St. Louis committed three errors in the game after committing just four total errors during the winning streak."A couple plays clearly we expect to make and will make and just didn't go our way for a little bit there," Cardinals interim manager Mike Shildt said. "To the guys' credit they regrouped, settled down, and started playing back to the baseball they know they can play."The Nationals had opportunities to pad the lead, leaving the bases loaded in the third and fifth while stranding nine runners in the first five innings."When you have an opportunity to put teams away you've got to do that," Martinez said. "Especially with how hot the Cardinals are playing right now. They're going to come back."The Cardinals got within one in the sixth. After DeJong and Kolten Wong came up with back-to-back, two-out RBI hits, Harrison Bader hit a slow grounder to third. Anthony Rendon's throw to first got away from Ryan Zimmerman for an error, allowing Wong to score from second to cut the Nationals' lead to 5-4.Just two of the four runs Luke Weaver (6-11) allowed in his 3 2/3 innings were earned. He gave up seven hits, including two to Roark, who scored both times.Tyson Ross allowed one unearned run in 3 1/3 innings of relief.Bader homered in the third and Matt Carpenter walked twice to extend his on-base streak to a career-high 34 games.TRAINING ROOMNationals: RHP Jeremy Hellickson will have an MRI on his sore right wrist on Friday.

"It would be a good day to put everything together, finish strong and turn the page in this stadium."Tampa Bay is a season-high eight games over .500 (69-61). The Rays have allowed three or fewer runs in seven consecutive games.J.D. Martinez had two doubles in four at-bats for the Red Sox, who have lost five of seven. Boston (90-41) had its AL East lead sliced to seven games over the New York Yankees, who swept a doubleheader at Baltimore."At the end of the day I felt like we lost this game because we didn't take it to them and they took it to us," Red Sox starter Rick Porcello said. "That's not usually the case for our ballclub."Martinez (.337) jumped ahead of teammate Mookie Betts (.335) for the best batting average in the majors. Martinez also leads in RBIs (110) and is second in the AL in homers (38).Betts was hitless in four at-bats and is 6 for 38 (.158) over his last nine games.Tampa Bay chased Porcello (15-7) in the sixth after Kiermaier tripled and Willy Adames was hit by a pitch. Kiermaier scored on a wild pitch by Ryan Brasier before Joey Wendle made it 3-1 later in the inning on a sacrifice fly."That was a huge hit, maybe the biggest one of the night," Cash said about Kiermaier's triple.Pham hit a solo shot off Brandon Workman in the seventh, and Ji-Man Choi's RBI triple put Tampa Bay up 5-1 in the eighth.Pham returned after missing three games with a dislocated right ring finger."I didn't think I had enough power to hit a home run," Pham said. "My grip strength isn't quite there, but I had enough."Porcello gave up three runs and six hits over five-plus innings.Rays starter Ryan Yarbrough allowed one run and five hits in five-plus innings. Ryne Stanek (2-3) replaced Yarbrough and worked a scoreless inning for the win.Tampa Bay threatened in four of the first five innings but went 2 for 11 with runners in scoring positions during that stretch.

He seemed night and day different from where he was (Friday)."TRAINER'S ROOMRed Sox: Cora hasn't completely ruled out 2B Dustin Pedroia, limited to three games in May following left knee surgery, from playing again this season. "We don't have anything set as far as timetables, but we're feeling good with the progress," Cora said. … LHP Chris Sale (left shoulder inflammation) could resume throwing soon after the team returns home Monday. … LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (sprained right ankle) will make a rehab start Monday with Double-A Portland.UP NEXTRays All-Star LHP Blake Snell (15-5) will face Boston RHP and former teammate Nathan Eovaldi (5-5) on Sunday. "He really helped me with my work ethic and led by example," said Snell, who is 2-0 with a 0.95 ERA in three starts against Boston this season. "That's just him as a player and a person. He's very special." Eovaldi is 2-1 with a 2.89 ERA in five starts with Boston since being acquired from the Rays on July 25. NEW YORK — Rhys Hoskins' tie-breaking homer in the eighth inning Friday night provided a jolt to the National League Cy Young Award hopes of Philadelphia Phillies teammate Aaron Nola. On Saturday, the Phillies will find out if Hoskins' blast had a longer-reaching impact.The Phillies will look to lock up their first series win in a month when they play the New York Mets in the middle game of a three-game series at Citi Field. Noah Syndergaard (10-3, 3.33 ERA) is scheduled to take the mound for New York against Philadelphia's Zach Eflin (9-6, 4.05) in a battle of right-handers.Hoskins' homer on Friday provided the final run in the Phillies' 4-3 victory and lifted Nola to his 16th win, which ties him with the Washington Nationals' Max Scherzer for the most in the NL.Article continues below ...Nola is in a three-way battle for the Cy Young Award with Scherzer http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-greg-luzinski-jersey , the two-time defending winner, and the Mets' Jacob deGrom, who leads the league with a 1.68 ERA. Scherzer and Nola rank second and third at 2.28 and 2.29, respectively.Before Hoskins snapped an 0-for-14 skid with his blast, Nola was in danger of allowing three runs or fewer yet not getting a win for the 11th time in 29 starts this season."He's had some tough ones," Hoskins said afterward. "It's always good to pick up a teammate, no matter who it is."The homer also helped the Phillies (74-66) pick up ground on the first-place Atlanta Braves in the NL East. Philadelphia, which has lost eight series and split another since sweeping the Miami Marlins from Aug. 2-5, is 2 1/2 games behind the Braves, who lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks Friday night."Cy Young race, the whole drama and everything that's going on, game in a playoff chase with so much on the line," Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said. "It was huge for Rhys and obviously huge for Nola and huge for all of us to get that, collectively."The Mets (63-77) have long been out of the playoff race Mike Schmidt Jersey , but facing Nola and the Phillies this weekend gives them multiple chances to play the role of spoiler. DeGrom, who is just 8-8 despite his minuscule ERA, is in line to start the series finale Sunday afternoon.While the Mets could not deny Nola the win Friday, manager Mickey Callaway took solace in denting his ERA ever so slightly and acknowledged he sensed a renewed energy by players hoping to help out deGrom."I thought getting three runs off of him, hitting a couple homers off of him — not too many teams are scoring three runs off of him, indicated by his ERA," Callaway said. "(The Cy Young Award race) definitely comes into play. I think you want to go out there and win every night, but certain circumstances definitely enter your mind when they're there."Syndergaard looked like a Cy Young Award contender himself in his most recent start last Sunday, when he threw the first complete game of his career in the Mets' 4-1 win over the San Francisco Giants. The 26-year-old allowed just two hits and one walk while striking out 11 in the 114-pitch effort.Syndergaard is 4-2 with a 2.60 ERA in eight career starts against the Phillies. In two starts against Philadelphia this season, Syndergaard is 0-1 with a 5.59 ERA.Eflin last pitched on Sept. 1, when he lost his second straight start after giving up four runs (three earned) in five innings as the Phillies fell to the Chicago Cubs 7-1. He is 1-2 with a 6.20 ERA in his last four starts, a stretch in which Eflin's ERA has risen from 3.57 to 4.05.Eflin is 1-2 with a 4.82 ERA in five career starts against the Mets, and he is 1-0 with a 5.40 ERA. in two starts against New York this year.
HOUSTON (AP) — Rajai Davis is getting the chance to further his October legacy.Indians manager Terry Francona said Thursday the speedy outfielder will get his team's final spot on the 25-man roster for the AL Division Series against the Houston Astros.Davis was given the nod over backup infielder Erik Gonzalez. Davis cemented his place in October baseball lore with a tying home run in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series before Cleveland lost to the Chicago Cubs in 10 innings.Houston manager A.J. Hinch chose to carry just two catchers Ian Happ Jersey , leaving off Max Stassi for rookie Myles Straw, another speedy outfielder who has been mostly used as a pinch-runner. The Astros bullpen will consist of closer Roberto Osuna, Lance McCullers Jr., Ryan Pressly, left-hander Tony Sipp, Collin McHugh, Will Harris and hard-throwing rookie Josh James.Hinch chose to go with James over Hector Rondon, who has struggled over the last month Jose Quintana Jersey , for his ability to pitch multiple innings. Also left off the roster were right-hander Brad Peacock, who appeared in seven games with one start last postseason, and 2017 All-Star Chris Devenski. CINCINNATI (AP) — Eugenio Suarez and the Cincinnati Reds closed out a nice weekend with another solid day at the plate.It was quite a response to a tough series against Cleveland.Suarez hit a two-run homer during Cincinnati's seven-run third inning, and the Reds swept the San Francisco Giants with an 11-4 win on Sunday.Jose Peraza also hit a two-run homer for last-place Cincinnati, which outscored San Francisco 18-5 in the last two games. Billy Hamilton tripled twice and drove in three runs.The Reds also swept the Giants in Cincy last season. Nine different Reds scored at least one run, helping Cincinnati bounce back after it was swept by Cleveland."Sometimes it is when you play a club," interim manager Jim Riggleman said. "We had a hot Cleveland team, then we get a Giants team that's been struggling with the bats. We got them at the right time."San Francisco had a chance to sweep Los Angeles before the Dodgers' 12-inning victory on Wednesday night. The Giants then managed just six runs in the sweep by the Reds http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-yu-darvish-jersey , extending their slide to four games."It's frustrating," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "We didn't hit much, The offense didn't do anything here. We were hoping for more."Giants left-hander Andrew Suarez (4-9) was tagged for seven runs, five earned, and seven hits in a season-low 2 2/3 innings in the finale."I got ahead," Suarez said. "I just couldn't put them away. I didn't have that putaway pitch today. I thought I had good stuff. The location wasn't there."Giants infielder Chase d'Arnaud worked a scoreless eighth in his first career pitching appearance.Suarez's career-best 27th homer made it 6-1 in the third. Scooter Gennett hit a two-run triple before Suarez's drive to center.Curt Casali also had two hits and drove in two runs in Cincinnati's big inning."It was an awesome inning," Casali said. "I'm sure I've had two hits in an inning at some point in my career, but not in the big leagues. Any time you put up a crooked number against a club like that Paul Konerko Jersey , it's important."Reds right-hander Luis Castillo (7-10) struck out nine in 6 2/3 innings. He was charged with three runs, one earned, and six hits."Everything was working for me today," Castillo said. "I was commanding my changeup. My slider was good and I was throwing strikes. I think, like last year, I'm able to throw my pitches in any situation."Castillo retired 13 straight batters before Stephen Duggar's two-out single in the seventh."You look at his velocity," Bochy said, "I don't know of anybody in the National League who throws harder on average http://www.whitesoxfanproshop.com/authentic-carlos-rodon-jersey , and his changeup was biting. He was on top of his game."Peraza finished with three hits as Cincinnati closed out a 5-4 homestand. Phillip Ervin had two hits and scored a run.NEW LOOKBrandon Belt became the first first baseman to lead off for the Giants since David Bell on July 6, 2002, at Arizona.

HOUSTON — With the "opener" gambit now influencing postseason strategies in Oakland and Milwaukee Jorge De La Rosa Jersey , the pitching matchup for Game 1 of the American League Division Series between the Cleveland Indians and Houston Astros represents a throwback in this era of bullpening.The Indians and Astros will turn to tried-and-true aces aiming to gain an early edge in the series on Friday at Minute Maid Park. Right-handers Corey Kluber (20-7, 2.89 ERA) and Justin Verlander (16-9, 2.52 ERA) have combined for 16 200-inning and 13 200-strikeout seasons, 10 All-Star Game appearances, three Cy Young awards, and two ERA titles, with Verlander adding a Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player award, plus a pitching triple crown, to the mix.If Verlander doesn't earn his second Cy Young award this season, he is assured of finishing in the top five in balloting for the sixth time. Kluber finished third in 2016, two seasons after winning his first Cy Young award and one year before claiming his second. By every definition, they are workhorses charged with setting the tone in a postseason series. That both have been here before enhances expectations of something riveting unfolding when they work in opposition.Article continues below ..."Well, as far as Klub goes, we love it," Indians manager Terry Francona said of relying upon a traditional ace. "I'm sure they feel the same way with Verlander. I think, as an organization or a team, you do what you think puts you in the best position. If that's to have an opener http://www.diamondbacksfanproshop.com/authentic-taijuan-walker-jersey , OK. But I know how we feel with Kluber pitching, and it's good and he's earned that. Same with Verlander."Verlander, having made 90.7 percent of his 419 regular-season starts for the Detroit Tigers, is intimately familiar with his former division rival. Cleveland is the only team from the American League Central against whom Verlander owns a losing record (20-24, 4.71 ERA over 52 starts).Unlike Kluber, who finished 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA over two starts against the Astros this season, Verlander did not crossmatch against the Indians, making starts immediately prior to the series the teams contested in May. Verlander has tweaked his pitch usage since joining the Astros late last season and is confident those changes should mitigate any concerns over his spotty record."I've changed a lot. Their lineup has changed," said Verlander, 3-0 with a 1.09 ERA over five September starts. "It will be interesting to see what happens. I just am taking this, preparing for it as much as I can and know what to expect in a playoff atmosphere, know what to expect out of myself. When it comes down to it, I just need to go out there and execute pitches."Kluber (4-2, 3.54 ERA) and Verlander (11-6, 3.07 ERA) have proven capable of executing in the postseason, reliability that undergirds the decisions to utilize both with stakes this high. In some corners, a steady stream of relievers might suffice. With Cleveland and Houston Jarrod Dyson Jersey , tradition rules."Whether your personnel fits — you can't have an overriding philosophy," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. "I love starters. Why? Because I've got good ones. I think that's the easiest way to fall in love with a rotation and have that mindset do I want my starters to go deep in the game."Yeah, they're good. If not, then I've got to have a contingency plan and it becomes a bullpen day very quickly if you fall behind or if the starter is not at his best." Friday night's game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium should be sponsored by the letter K, because there figures to be more than a few strikeouts.If young right-handers Walker Buehler of the Dodgers and Jack Flaherty of the Cardinals pitch on Friday as they did Aug. 22 when they faced each other at Chavez Ravine, runs and solid contact might be at a premium in a game dripping with pennant-race pressure.Buehler (6-5, 3.09 ERA) fired seven shutout innings in that game against the Cardinals last month, permitting just three hits and two walks while whiffing nine. Flaherty (8-6, 2.92) owned a no-hitter until Joc Pederson cracked a solo homer with one out in the bottom of the sixth. It was the only hit Flaherty, who walked two and fanned 10, allowed in six innings.Article continues below ...Los Angeles' bullpen gave it up in the last two innings that night. Tyler O'Neill clouted a pinch-homer off Scott Alexander in the eighth and Paul DeJong drilled a tie-breaking two-run shot off Kenley Jansen in the ninth to give St. Louis a 3-1 win that polished off a series sweep.The Cardinals (81-66) lead the Dodgers (80-67) by one game in the race for the National League's second wild-card spot, thanks to Los Angeles' 9-7 win Thursday night. The Dodgers led wire-to-wire, including 8-1 at one point, yet couldn't really exhale until Matt Adams grounded out to first as the potential tying run to end the game.Manny Machado starred for Los Angeles with three hits, including a double and his 34th homer of the year in the seventh inning."I just tried to go up there and be myself, have quality at-bats," Machado said to Sportsnet LA. "Every out ttp://www.diamondbacksfanproshop.com/authentic-brad-boxberger-jersey , every pitch from now on counts. One play can turn things around, so we have to be on top of it. We did everything we needed to do today."The Dodgers, who at times have experienced terrible difficulties hitting with runners in scoring position over the last month, set the game's tone with a great at-bat in that situation in the first inning. David Freese taxed rookie left-hander Austin Gomber for 14 pitches, fouling off nine of them, before lacing a two-run triple down the left-field line.Freese, who gets cheered during every at-bat in St. Louis because he was the 2011 World Series Most Valuable Player for the Cardinals, was acquired just before the Aug. 31 waiver deadline from Pittsburgh."It's always great coming back here and seeing the fans," Freese said. "I'm excited to be a part of this. I'm on the back end of my career, sitting at 35 years old."One of Freese's former Cardinals teammates made his way back into the lineup Thursday night for this big series. All-Star catcher Yadier Molina (hamstring) missed six games, and probably isn't 100 percent, but St. Louis wanted him back in there.The Cardinals plan for him to catch every game in the series except for Saturday, which is a 12:05 p.m. start after the Friday night game."He's very confident he can regulate himself in what he's doing so not to have a setback, which we clearly don't need," St. Louis manager Mike Shildt said of Molina.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Stephen Strasburg made all the necessary adjustments.The right-hander threw six effective innings http://www.washingtonredskinsteamonline.com/d.j.-swearinger-jersey , Matt Wieters hit a solo homer and the Washington Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3 Monday night.Strasburg (7-7) gave up two runs and five hits, striking out five to rebound from a rough start against Philadelphia last week in his return from the disabled list."So many little things hitters try to pick, so you always have to look at the tendencies," Strasburg said. "It was progress."The Phillies fell 3 1/2 games behind first-place Atlanta in the NL East after losing the opener for the seventh straight series. They're 6-12 since Aug. 8 and have dropped five games in the standings during that span.Zach Eflin (9-5) allowed five runs — three earned — and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. His throwing error in the fourth cost him.The Nationals had the bases loaded with one out that inning when Strasburg put a bunt down. Eflin picked it up barehanded and his underhand toss to the plate sailed high for an error, allowing the go-ahead run to score.Adam Eaton followed with a slow roller to the same spot and Eflin made the exact same play and got the out at home.Trea Turner then knocked in another run on a bloop single that fell in because left fielder Rhys Hoskins broke back at first."We gave them additional outs and you can't do that against this team," Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said.Eaton greeted reliever Luis Avilan with an RBI double in the sixth to make it 5-2.Hoskins crushed Ryan Madson's first pitch in the eighth for his 27th homer.Justin Miller tossed a perfect ninth for his first save in his first try in his 39th appearance."He comes in and brings so much energy on the mound," Strasburg said. "The hard work pays off."Washington took two of three from the Phillies at home last week after trading Daniel Murphy to the Cubs and Matt Adams to the Cardinals.Down 2-0 in the third, the Phillies tied it on an RBI triple by Roman Quinn and an RBI single by Cesar Hernandez. Strasburg struck out Asdrubal Cabrera swinging to strand runners at second and third.Eflin retired the first two batters before Bryce Harper, Anthony Rendon and Juan Soto hit three straight singles in the first to give the Nationals a 1-0 lead.Wieters led off the second with his sixth homer to make it 2-0. He said he was using a new bat after realizing the one he used the past few games was cracked.Strasburg allowed five runs and seven hits over four innings in Washington's 8-7 win against Philadelphia last Wednesday."He was able to locate his fastball David Price Jersey , throw a high fastball, and made corrections since the last start," Wieters said.BOOING THE BUFFALOWilson Ramos was thrown out trying to go first to third on Cabrera's single to right and heard boos from Phillies fans even though he is playing hurt. Ramos recently returned from a hamstring injury and isn't healthy enough to do more than jog, but he's Philadelphia's cleanup hitter and wants to be in the lineup to help the team chase a playoff spot."He's playing through a lot," Kapler said. "He's a guy who gives everything he has and he showed a lot of toughness."NEW MAN ON TOPQuinn led off for the first time and Hernandez batted third for just the third time in 641 career games.TRAINER'S ROOMNationals: RHP Kelvin Herrera was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a torn Lisfranc ligament in his left foot.

MIAMI (AP) — For a last-place team down to its last hitter on the bench, this was a win worth celebrating.Pinch-hitter Bryan Holaday hit an RBI single in the 11th inning and the Miami Marlins beat the New York Mets 4-3 Saturday night for just their second victory in 11 games."This is something that we needed http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-mookie-betts-jersey ," Holaday said. "It's tough when you're not winning games so a win like this can spark us and makes it a lot better in the locker room. Everybody is able to celebrate a win."Miguel Rojas led off the 11th with a single against Jacob Rhame (0-2) and moved up on Magneuris Sierra's sacrifice. Holaday followed with a groundball past third baseman Todd Frazier that easily scored Rojas."That last pitch right there, just a slider that stayed over the middle of the plate and Holaday was able to hook it down the line," Mets manager Mickey Callaway said.It was Holaday's second walkoff hit of the season and of his career, and the eighth walkoff victory for the Marlins."It's great," Holaday said. "It's the best feeling in the world."Holaday was the last hitter off the bench for the Marlins, who were down to one available reliever."That was good," Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. "We were running out of bullets there."The Marlins improved to 7-4 in extra innings with all 11 game at home."Hey, let's go extras tomorrow then," Mattingly said.Holaday batted for Javy Guerra (1-0) Brock Holt Jersey , who pitched the 11th.Miami loaded the bases in the eighth with one out, but was unable to score.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Nationals hope veteran reliever Greg Holland can return to form and use his postseason experience to help Washington make a playoff run of its own.Holland has appeared in 12 postseason games Giancarlo Stanton Jersey , including the 2014 World Series with Kansas City. That, along with his 186 career saves, was more important to Washington than the 7.92 ERA he had with St. Louis before being designated for assignment on July 27.A day after the right-hander worked out with Washington, the Nationals announced his signing on Tuesday before facing the Atlanta Braves in a split doubleheader."He's a veteran guy that's been around and pitched in high-level situations, pitched a World Series," Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. "If he's healthy, and we think he is http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-derek-jeter-jersey , he's going to help us."A three-time All-Star with 186 career saves, Holland initially will be used in the sixth or seventh innings by the Nationals."He knows how to get outs in big situations. That's what we like about him," Martinez said. "He will fit well in our bullpen and in our clubhouse."Holland is 21-20 with 186 saves and a 2.93 ERA across parts of eight seasons with the Royals, Colorado Rockies and Cardinals. He had 47 saves last year with Colorado and signed a $14 million deal with St. Louis during the offseason before coming out flat in 2018.He hopes the switch to a new team with bring about a change in fortune."It hadn't went well. Sometimes that happens," Holland said. "People struggle sometimes. I'm excited. Kind of a fresh start on a new team, and helping this club getting where it wants to go."Washington started the day in third place in the NL East, 5½ games behind division-leading Philadelphia.To make room for Holland Alex Rodriguez Jersey , the Nationals optioned right-hander Jimmy Cordero to Triple-A Syracuse. NEW YORK — When they left Yankee Stadium for a cross-country flight to Oakland following a tedious 11-7 loss to the Detroit Tigers, the New York Yankees held a decent amount of comfort in the wild-card race.Now they come back still occupying the lead in the wild-card race but hardly with a comfortable lead.Heading into the opener of a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays Friday night at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees are 1 1/2 games ahead of the Oakland Athletics.Article continues below ...The Yankees are returning from a middling 4-5 nine-game trip through Oakland, Seattle and Minnesota. The uneven trip followed a disappointing 3-4 showing in a seven-game home stand against the Chicago White Sox and Tigers."We know what's at stake," Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton said. "We know what we need to do. It's not an ideal today or a trip. We know what we need to do. We're going to come out on Friday and get it done."By going 7-9 in their last 16 games, the Yankees have gone from 4 1/2 up on Oakland to hardly assured of hosting the one-game playoff on Oct. 3.Going back further, when the Yankees fell 9 1/2 out in the AL East after being swept by the Red Sox Mariano Rivera Jersey , they were 2 1/2 up and while they gained two games on the A's, they were not able to shake their pesky challenger.While the Yankees scored enough in their last homestand at times, they did not hit well for most of the trip. They were no-hit until the eighth when Greg Bird ended Jake Odorizzi's no-hit bid and were held to two hits in Wednesday's 3-1 loss at Minnesota.During the trip, the Yankees scored 33 runs while batting .198 (56-for-283) while striking out 75 times. With runners in scoring position, New York batted and hit .169 (10-for-59)."We have the equipment in that room to be the club we expect to be. Baseball will punch you in the mouth every now and then," Boone said. "We are clearly facing a little bit of adversity right now and we will be better for it. I expect us to come out Friday ready to turn the page."Stanton, who was rested in the last home game http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-babe-ruth-jersey , was 4-for-34 with 16 strikeouts on the trip. Gary Sanchez was 5-for-27 on the trip with three of those hits in a 7-2 Monday, Didi Gregorius is 3-for-15 since returning from a heel injury and Aaron Hicks went 3-for-27 on the trip.At least the Yankees can say good things may be happening on the injury front. Sanchez and Gregorius recently returned and Aaron Judge along with Aroldis Chapman appear close to returning.Judge took regular batting practice on the field before Wednesday's game and could get into a simulated game soon. Since he fractured his right wrist on July 26, the Yankees are 25-20.Chapman has been out since Aug. 22 with tendinitis in his right knee but threw a bullpen session Wednesday in Tampa and could get into a simulated game if another bullpen session goes well.Masahiro Tanaka will start the opener and seeks his 12th win after allowing three hits and striking out 10 in eight scoreless innings last Friday in Seattle. It marked the eighth time in 10 starts he allowed two earned runs or less.Tanaka is 10-4 with a 2.86 ERA in 16 starts against Toronto, which is the only opponent he owns 10 wins against. His last appearance against the Blue Jays in New York was Sept. 29, when he fanned 15 in seven innings of a 4-0 win.The Blue Jays (65-81) didn't help the Yankees by losing three straight at Fenway Park, lowering the Yankees magic number for elimination in the AL East to six. The Blue Jays lost for the eighth time in 12 games when second baseman Yangervis Solarte committed a fielding error in the eighth inning of Thursday's 4-3 loss.The next loss will clinch Toronto's second straight losing season and they head into New York hoping to see what they have in players like Rowdy Tellez and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Gurriel homered and is hitting .284 in 55 games while Tellez is 9-for-22 (.409) in his first eight games."(Playing at Fenway) has been good for them and when we go into Yankee Stadium that's going to help them," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "Whether they start here next year or when they make it. Next time they go in there at least play one game there. It helps. People get in awe of these places. I still do. I think that definitely helps."Marco Estrada starts for Toronto and hopes to end a three-game winless streak. Since beating Baltimore Aug. 20 Lou Gehrig Jersey , he is 0-2 with a 9.49 ERA, though he allowed two runs in six innings in a no-decision last Friday against Cleveland.Estrada is 7-3 with an 8.15 ERA in 18 appearances (17 starts) against the Yankees.The Yankees have won 12 of the first 16 meetings with Toronto and six of seven at Yankee Stadium.
ARLINGTON http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-red-schoendienst-jersey , Texas (AP) — Bartolo Colon reached out and snagged the comeback liner while slipping into a squat on the mound.The portly 45-year-old pitcher managed to stay upright, with a smile on his face and a ball from his milestone victory secured firmly in his glove.Colon became the top winning pitcher born in Latin America, punctuating his 246th career victory with that nifty snag for the last out of his seven innings as the Texas Rangers roughed up Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners 11-4 on Tuesday night."I thought (first baseman Jurickson) Profar was going to throw the ball away to the public, to the fans," Colon said through a translator. "But I saw it and then I started laughing because it happened that way."On his sixth try since earning his 245th win on June 30 to match the mark held by Nicaragua's Dennis Martinez, the Rangers hurler from the Dominican Republic finally had the record to himself."It was a long journey, but it finally came and it feels good," said Colon, who got his last out against Dee Gordon on his 94th pitch.Colon (6-10) gave up four runs and eight hits in seven innings. The portly and popular right-hander walked none and struck out one. He retired 14 of the last 16 batters he faced after Seattle had two triples in the third, an inning after back-to-back homers by Nelson Cruz and Kyle Seager ."True to I think the competitor in him, once we got the lead, you could see just the extra little gear that he put it into to get himself through those innings Enos Slaughter Jersey ," manager Jeff Banister said."It took a while to get it, but I'm proud of him," said Adrian Beltre, the active career leader with 3,131 hits. "He's a great, awesome teammate."Beltre, Jurickson Profar and Rougned Odor all homered off Hernandez (8-10), who allowed a career-high 11 runs — seven earned — in six innings. Odor also had a two-run double.Colon is 246-186 in 560 games since his big league debut with Cleveland in 1997, was the 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner while with the Angels and has won games for each of the 11 teams he has pitched for in his career. His 244th victory earlier this season pushed him past Hall of Famer Juan Marichal for the most by a Dominican pitcher."I always give thanks to God and to my family, all the support that I have from them," Colon said.When Beltre struck out in the second against his old friend and former teammate, Hernandez laughed while playfully pointing him back toward the dugout. Beltre grounded into a double play in the third http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-chris-carpenter-jersey , but his 468th career homer was a solo shot to straightway center in the sixth that made it 11-4."I lost my command after the first two innings. Just leaving it in the middle of the plate and making a lot of mistakes," Hernandez said. "That's it. See the results."Hernandez, whose 168 career wins are the most by a Venezuelan-born pitcher, struck out two and walked four. He was hurt by two errors by third baseman Seager that led to four unearned runs."I was just bad tonight, didn't catch them," Seager said.The Mariners led 3-0 before Texas had a four-run third. Odor's double made it 3-all and Elvis Andrus had a tiebreaking RBI single to extend the longest active hitting streak in the majors, and his career best, to 18 games. Profar's three-run homer made it 8-4 in the fifth right after Seager misplayed Beltre's two-out grounder. Odor's two-run shot in the sixth was his 14th homer. Center fielder Cameron Maybin then made a running, leaping catch with his glove extended near the top of the wall to take a hit away from Andrus before Beltre put a shot over the wall.TRAINER'S ROOMMariners: Maybin was struck on the upper leg while waiting in the on-deck circle in the ninth inning when Chris Herrmann sliced a foul ball. Maybe appeared to be OK, even smiling briefly. Maybin then grounded out.UP NEXTYovani Gallardo, 6-1 since rejoining Texas in mid-June for the first time since 2015, starts the series finale against Seattle and lefty Marco Gonzales (12-6). While Gallardo has a 4.76 ERA in his past seven starts Kolten Wong Jersey , the Rangers have averaged an MLB-best 11.57 runs per nine innings with the right-hander on the mound. No AL pitcher has more than his six wins in that span. Gonzales had won five starts in a row with a 1.57 ERA before losing Friday against Toronto. TORONTO — The Philadelphia Phillies need a victory Sunday afternoon against the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre.They need the win to avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of the Blue Jays, who are dawdling in fourth place in the American League East.More important, they must reverse a recent trend that threatens their playoff hopes.Article continues below ...They let a 5-0 lead get away Saturday afternoon and lost 8-6 to the Blue Jays on a three-run double in the bottom of the eighth inning by Aledmys Diaz.The Phillies, who entered Saturday three games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves in the National League East, have lost six of their past seven games."We're still in a good position to strike," Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said.The Blue Jays have won five in a row for the first time this season and hold a 4-1 lead in the season series against the Phillies.The Phillies (69-60) will start right-hander Vince Velasquez (8-9, 4.06 ERA) Sunday and the Blue Jays (60-69) will counter with right-hander Marco Estrada (7-9, 4.88).Velasquez has never faced the Blue Jays in the regular season, although he has pitched against them in spring training.Estrada has not pitched against the Phillies in the regular season this year, but in 11 career games (five starts) against them he is 2-1 with a 5.45 ERA.The Phillies have struggled on the road this season, going 28-48 (41-21 at home) and 5-14 in their past 19 games."I think we maintain the same poise that we have in rough stretches all season," Kapler said. "I think we've had stretches similar to this one. This one has been undoubtedly difficult. but we want to remind our guys how tough we are and how resilient we are Trevor Rosenthal Jersey , how teams have rough stretches and this by no means does this mean we don't have the ability to win the National League East."I think one of the things that we can focus on is the reason this one may be a little bit more challenging is because it takes more energy to be resilient when you're closer to the end. So it just means that we're going to need to dig real deep and get that last drop of energy. I believe we have it in us."While Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was 0-for-3 with a walk Saturday to end his hitting streak at 12 games, the home run streak of Kendrys Morales is alive. He has hit home runs in six consecutive games (for a total of seven) that matches the club record set in 2001 by Jose Cruz Jr.The streak by Morales equals the longest in the majors this season set by Matt Carpenter of the St. Louis Cardinals on July 14-21.Morales also has a nine-game hitting streak. His batting is .516 (16-for-31) with seven homers and 13 RBIs."He's been on a nice little roll now for a while, a good while," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "Early in the year, he was chasing a lot of breaking balls, off-speed pitches down in the dirt, down in the zone — that's what was getting him into trouble. He's laying off those now and he's even hitting breaking balls."Outfielder Billy McKinney hit a two-run homer Saturday and has three homers in his first seven games from the Blue Jays after being called up from Triple-A Buffalo. He was part of the deal that sent left-hander J.A. Happ to the New York Yankees on July 26.McKinney is the first player to combine three homers and nine RBIs in his first seven games with the Blue Jays. Seven others have hit three or more homers in their first seven games with Toronto and Dave Martinez had nine RBIs in his first seven games with the Blue Jays in 2000.

A third-round pick in 2016, Coleman was the team's starting right tackle in 2017 for all 16 games. Although he didn't play exceptionally well, for it being his first year as a starter, he held his own.This offseason, the team signed Chris Hubbard from the Steelers to be their new starting right tackle. With Joe Thomas retiring, the team decided to have an open competition there, with Coleman getting the first crack at it. Less than a week into training camp Womens Larry Ogunjobi Jersey , though, head coach Hue Jackson had seen enough and replaced Coleman. Rumors quickly started that the club could be trying to move on from Coleman, and on Friday, that's exactly what they did: they shipped him to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a 7th round pick in 2019.The trade likely assures that rookie Desmond Harrison will make the roster, and Greg Robinson's odds of making it seem pretty good as well. The team still has 18 more roster moves to make to get to 53 players by the 4:00 PM ET deadline on Saturday.
We've gotten to this one a bit later in the week than we usually would. . .again White Eric Kendricks Jersey , a function of yours truly doing vacationy-type things. But, we're on it now, and we're going to take a look at the history between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers. As you'd expect, the Vikings have faced the Packers more times than any other team in franchise history, as Sunday's game will mark the 114th contest between these two teams. The Packers have the lead in the all-time head-to-head record, but the Vikings have closed the gap on that front a bit over the past few seasons.As always, the numbers used in this post come to you courtesy of the folks from Pro Football Reference.Total regular season games between the Vikings and the Packers: 113All-time regular season record: Packers, 59-52-2Total Vikings' points scored, head-to-head: 2 Kirk Cousins Jersey ,189 (19.4 points/game)Total Packers' points scored, head-to-head: 2,459 (21.8 points/game)Longest Vikings' winning streak vs Packers: 7 games, 2 November 1975 to 22 October 1978Longest Packers' winning streak vs Vikings: 6 games, 22 October 1961 to 10 November 1963 (first six games in series history)Most recent Vikings' road win in series: 23 December 2017 (final score 16-0)Most recent Packers' home win in series: 24 December 2016 (final score 38-25)Biggest Vikings' road win in series: 26 points, 7 December 1986 (final score 32-6)Biggest Packers' home win in series: 38 points, 14 November 2011 (final score 45-7)Current streak: Vikings, 2 winsAs I'm guessing you've heard by this point, the Vikings did sweep the Packers last season Authentic Mike Hughes Jersey , and it was allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll because Aaron Rodgers was injured and had nothing to do with the Vikings being a good football team or anything like that. Last season at Lambeau, in another late-season matchup, the Vikings' defense did something that no Vikings' defense had done for nearly a quarter of a century. . .hold an opponent to zero points. Granted, the Vikings' offense wasn't great that night or anything, but they did enough to grind out a 16-0 victory, the first shutout for the Vikings since 1993.The last time the Vikings saw Aaron Rodgers for four quarters at Lambeau Field. . .well, it didn't go particularly well for them. In another December matchup, Rodgers was in full-blown MVP mode, as he completed four touchdown passes and ran for another score as the Packers ended the competitive portion of the season for the 2016 Vikings by a final score of 38-25.This is the first September matchup at Lambeau Field between the Vikings and the Packers since the 2008 season opener. . .which just happened to be the first regular season start of Rodgers career. Neither quarterback that night really lit it up. . .both Rodgers and Tarvaris Jackson threw for 178 yards and a touchdown on the evening. However Youth Anthony Barr Jersey , the Packers ultimately made more plays than the Vikings did that night, and walked away with a 24-19 victory to start that season.And that's a brief look back at the history between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers leading up to tomorrow's matchup at Lambeau Field, ladies and gentlemen.Mike Zimmer says that Everson Griffen won't be back until Week 6 at the earliest Aside from the on-field struggles of the defense, the biggest story for the Minnesota Vikings through the first quarter of the season has been what's happened with defensive end Everson Griffen. Following an incident at a Minneapolis hotel prior to the Vikings' Week 3 game against the Buffalo Bills, Griffen has been away from the team and working on some personal issues.While Griffen has vowed to come back, per a statement he released last week, it won't happen prior to the Vikings' Week 5 contest in Philadelphia. Vikings' head coach Mike Zimmer confirmed that to reporters late last week as well.It's hard to speculate about whether or not the loss of Griffen has had a residual effect on the team as a whole. Yes, everyone on the Vikings' roster is a professional and has a job to do, and I understand that sentiment Trae Waynes Jersey , but at the same time Griffen is one of the Vikings' veteran leaders. It's difficult to believe that his absence wouldn't have an effect on his teammates, particularly those that have played with him for a number of seasons.Zimmer also said that the main focus is on getting Griffen "right" again and then worrying about getting him back onto the football field. Hopefully we will see both of those things in the very near future, but the former is defintely more important than the latter.Whenever the comeback starts for Everson Griffen, however, it won't begin in Week 5.

Background: The diagnostic framework and clinical reasoning process in Chinese medicine emphasizes the contextual and qualitative nature of a patient's illness. Chinese medicine assessment data may help interpret clinical outcomes. Objectives: As part of a study aimed at assessing the validity and improving the inter-rater reliability of the Chinese diagnostic process, a structured assessment instrument was developed for use in clinical trials of acupuncture and other Chinese medical therapies. Study design: To foster collaboration and maximize resources and information, an interdisciplinary advisory team was assembled. Under the guidance of two group process facilitators, and in order to establish whether the assessment instrument was consistent with accepted Chinese medicine diagnostic categories (face validity) and included the full range of each concept's meaning (content validity), a panel of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) expert clinicians was convened and their responses were organized using the Delphi process, an iterative, anonymous, idea-generating and consensus-building process. An aggregate rating measure was obtained by taking the mean of mean ratings for each question across all 10 experts. Results: Over three rounds, the overall rating increased from 7.4 (SD = 1.3) in Round 1 to 9.1 (SD = 0.5) in Round 3. The level of agreement among clinicians was measured by a decrease in SD. Conclusions: The final instrument TEAMSI-TCM (Traditional East Asian Medicine Structured Interview, TCM version) uses the pattern differentiation model characteristic of TCM. This modular, dynamic version was specifically designed to assess women, with a focus on gynecologic conditions; with modifications it can be adapted for use with other populations and conditions. TEAMSI-TCM is a prescriptive instrument that guides clinicians to use the proper indicators, combine them in a systematic manner, and generate conclusions. In conjunction with treatment manualization and training it may serve to increase inter-rater reliability and inter-trial reproducibility in Chinese medicine clinical trials. Testing of the validity and reliability of this instrument currently is underway.

So while the guest expects reg to be 2 32-bit numbers, it suddenly gets 4 32-bit numbers that don't make sense. IIUC to the guest, any DT property is nothing more than a stream of bytes.
