e Bucs (4-5) win at home for the first time
MILWAUKEE -- Rookie Julio Urias executed when it counted.Urias battled through six innings for his first major league win, Adrian Gonzalez had three hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers hung on for a 6-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.He made pitches when he needed to, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Thats one of the things with Julio, as he continues to make major league starts. When he needed to make pitches and throw strikes, he did.Urias (1-2) walked a season-high six and struck out six in his seventh start overall and second against Milwaukee. The 19-year-old left-hander kept every Brewer hitless except for Ryan Brauns two-run double in the third and Jonathan Lucroys double in the sixth.Its beautiful, incredible, its one of the best days of my life, Urias said through an interpreter. What more can I say?The Dodgers had a scare late in the game with the Brewers threatening.Dodger center fielder Joc Pederson crashed face first into the wall in deep center after catching Chris Carters sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth. Pederson crumpled onto the warning track. After several minutes, he got up with assistance of several teammates and head trainer Neil Rampe. Pederson walked off holding his chest and was replaced by Yasiel Puig.We took some X-rays, and I think we dodged a bullet, Roberts said. Theres no fracture or anything like that. Its just a bruise. I think it was the AC joint. Its going to be day-to-day. Hes sore, but theres nothing right now as far as us, a DL (disabled list) situation or anything like that right now. So, were going to kind of see how he comes into tomorrow.Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his 23 save in 26 chances. Seven of the Dodgers last nine victories have been by one run.Urias didnt get a decision in the Dodgers 3-2 victory on June 17, holding Milwaukee scoreless for five innings, allowing a walk and five hits while striking out a career-high eight.Milwaukee pulled to 6-5 in the eighth on Lucroys two-run double off Pedro Baez and Carters sacrifice fly off Joe Blanton. The Dodgers ended the rally when catcher?Yasmani Grandal?recovered Blantons wild pitch and threw back to him to just get Hernan Perez, who stole third and kept coming down the line. The Brewers challenged the tag play and after a review of 1 minute, 19 seconds, the out call was upheld.Brewers manager Craig Counsell was impressed with Grandals poise.You get a lot of catchers on that play when you hear the crowd and you know hes running the play, but he took his time. He didnt panic, Counsell said. He kind of turned, picked up his target and made a good throw. I thought how he played it was really good.The Dodgers went ahead with three runs on five hits in the top of the fourth off Milwaukee starter Chase Anderson (4-8).Gonzalez and Pederson each drove in a run before Urias capped off the scoring with his first career base hit and RBI.Grandal made it 6-2 when he hit into a fielders choice with the bases loaded in the fifth.Anderson, who was pitching on eight days of rest including a skipped turn, allowed six runs on eight hits in four innings.SEAGERS STREAKINGCorey Seagers triple in the top of the fourth extended his hitting streak to 11 games, matching his career-high set May 10-20. Hes batting .422 (19 for 45) with seven doubles, a triple and a home run during that stretch.KERSHAW HEADED HOMEDodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (11-2, 1.79 ERA) returns to Los Angeles on Wednesday to have his sore back examined. Manager Dave Roberts was still hopeful that the three-time NL Cy Young winner could make his next scheduled start Friday night at Dodger Stadium against Colorado.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: RHP Brandon McCarthy (Tommy John surgery) made his fourth rehab start Monday for Class A Rancho Cucamonga. He allowed four runs on seven hits in five innings and struck out three during his 72-pitch effort. ... LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (left shoulder surgery) allowed one run on two hits in 1 2/3 innings at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. He threw 26 pitches before a rain delay ended his sixth rehab start.Brewers: OF Alex Presley was designated for assignment and INF/OF Jake Elmore had his contract selected from Triple-A Colorado Springs. Elmore started at second base.UP NEXTDodgers: RHP Brock Stewart makes his major league debut on Wednesday. Selected in the sixth round of the 2014 draft, he started this season with Rancho Cucamonga before advancing to Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he is 3-0 with a 2.89 ERA in three starts.Brewers: RHP Junior Guerra (4-1, 3.67 ERA) makes his 11th start overall and second against the Dodgers this season. He allowed five runs on five hits over 5 1/3 innings on June 16.

Cheap NHL Jerseys Online . JOHNS, N. Hockey Jerseys China . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. TAMPA, Fla. -- Jameis Winston kept retreating toward his own goal line, seemingly in disregard for the best interests of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.The second-year quarterback often is at his best when hes improvising, though, and the first overall pick from the 2015 draft kept scrambling into the end zone and back out before heaving a 38-yard completion to Mike Evans.The play started at his own 23 and ended at the Chicago 38, where Evans made a leaping catch. On the next play, Winston threw his second TD pass in a 36-10 rout of the Bears on Sunday.Thats Jameis making plays, Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said, though that hardly crossed the coachs mind while Winston was heading the wrong way with the Bucs clinging to a seven-point lead early in the third quarter.Throw it away. Throw it away. Do anything. Dont take a safety, Koetter recalled himself thinking.But, the thing about Jameis, Jameis is going to do some things that we dont plan for and hes going to do some things that sometimes I dont like, the coach added. But Jameis is going to make some plays. Thats who he is. ... You cant coach that out of him. Hes a special player in that respect.Winston finished 23 of 33 for 312 yards with one interception, helping the Bucs (4-5) win at home for the first time this season. The Bears (2-7) are winless in five road games.That was a great play by him. ... He retreated. I tried to get him again and he stepped up in the pocket and let it rip, Bears linebacker Leonard Floyd said. Great play by him.Winston threw for TDs of 10 yards to Cameron Brate and 43 yards to Freddie Martino, a former practice squad player with two career receptions.Two weeks after returning from injury and helping the Bears (2-7) beat NFC North leader Minnesota, Jay Cutler threw two interceptions and fumbled twice, one resulting in a third-quarter safety that put the Bucs up 29-10.The Bucs forced four turnovers overall and sacked Cutler four times. Even though the Bears are last in the league in scoring, it was a confidence-building performance for a defense that yielded 73 points and 1,087 yards -- including 857 passing -- in home losses to Oakland and Atlanta the previous two weeks.Cutler missed five games with a sprained right thumb before playing well and not turning the ball over against the Vikings. The Bears had a bye last week, but the momentum they built against Minnesota didnt carry over to the trip to Tampa.ddddddddddddThe Bears scored on Cameron Merediths 50-yard TD reception on the final play of the first half. Cutler finished 16 of 30 for 182 yards, and Tampa Bays Chris Conte returned a first-quarter interception 20 yards to give the Bucs a 7-0 lead.Any given week, you can win, you can lose. It depends on how you execute, Cutler said. Obviously, we didnt get the job done today.MARTINS RETURNBucs running back Doug Martin returned from a hamstring injury that had sidelined him since Week 2. He rushed for 33 yards on 16 carries and scored on a 1-yard run that made it 36-10 late in the fourth quarter.HAIL MARYDeep in their own territory and down two touchdowns after turning the ball over four times, the Bears werent content with merely running out the final 31 seconds of the opening half. They used timeouts after Jeremy Langfords 13-yard run and Cutlers 4-yard completion to the reserve running back, then set themselves up for a final play when KaDeem Carey scampered 16 yards to midfield on a reception before getting out of bounds. Cutler heaved his 50-yard TD pass to Meredith in the back of the end zone to finish a four-play, 83-yard drive.YOUNG PASSERWinstons second-quarter TD pass to Brate was the 40th of the second-year pros career. At 22 years, 312 days old, hes the youngest quarterback in NFL history to reach that plateau, doing it in 25 games. Hes on pace to top 4,000 yards passing for the second straight year, and has thrown for 19 TDs vs. 10 interceptions this season.INJURIESBears: Lost the right side of their offensive line in the first half, with guard Kyle Long leaving with an ankle injury and tackle Bobby Massie suffering a concussion. Defensive lineman Will Sutton (ankle) left early in the third quarter and did not return.Buccaneers: Starting left guard Kevin Phamphile (concussion protocol) did not play.UP NEXT:Bears: Remain on the road, facing the New York Giants.Buccaneers: Continue a stretch of four consecutive games outside the NFC South, traveling to Kansas City,---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
