Dein erstes Forum » even alongside Dier as he did at the start

SAN FRANCISCO -- Michael Morse looked baffled after missing wildly on a wicked curve from Minnesota starter Ricky Nolasco in the fifth inning. Dinelson Lamet Jersey . It was one of the few pitches the Giants slugger guessed wrong on, and the last one from Nolasco he let get by. Morse hit a bases-loaded double on Nolascos next offering -- one of three doubles by San Franciscos first baseman -- helping the Giants to an 8-1 win over the Twins on Sunday that completed a three-game sweep. The crowd at AT&T Park gave Morse a loud ovation after the hit when his face was shown on the giant scoreboard in centerfield. "Moments like that make you feel so humble and happy that youre here," said Morse, who signed a one-year deal with San Francisco in the off-season. "Every day feels like the playoffs here. Its awesome." Madison Bumgarner pitched seven innings to remain unbeaten in May, Gregor Blanco had three hits while filling in for leadoff man Angel Pagan and Hunter Pence homered for the Giants, who improved to 6-0 in interleague games this year and improved their majors-leading record to 32-18. Bumgarner (6-3) earned his fourth straight win while relying mainly on his fastball and slider to baffle the slumping Twins. He struck out 10 with no walks and allowed only two runners past second base. "Madison was Madison," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He had his normal stuff and pitched great." It was a far different result than Bumgarner got in his only other appearance against Minnesota in 2011 when the left-hander was knocked out of the game after retiring one batter. This time around, the left-hander was dominant. Bumgarner fanned Joe Mauer three times, recorded six consecutive strikeouts during one stretch and struck out the side in the fifth after getting called for a balk. Its just the fifth time in Mauers career that hes struck out three times against the same pitcher. George Kontos pitched the final two innings for San Francisco, which has won seven straight games against American League teams dating to 2013. "I for sure didnt forget about that," said Bumgarner, who reached double digits in strikeouts for the 15th time in his career. "There wasnt a whole lot of talk about it but its something thats tough to forget, to go through a start like that one." Eduardo Escobar singled and scored Minnesotas only run in the third. "I dont think we had a hit with runners in scoring position and that never bodes well," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Well try to find a way to get hits in the right places and win some ballgames." The Giants jumped on Twins starter Ricky Nolasco (2-5) early with a pair of bloop singles in the first and a run-scoring hit by Pablo Sandoval that left fielder Eduardo Nunez got a late jump on. Morses sacrifice fly made it 2-0. Pences home run in the bottom of the third gave the Giants a 3-1 lead. It was Pences sixth home run of the season and his fifth career shot off Nolasco. Morse doubled and scored in the fourth to snap a 2-for-14 slump and make it 4-1, then broke the game open with his bases-clearing hit in the fifth. San Franciscos power-hitting first baseman smiled and pumped his fist while standing on second base as the crowd at AT&T Park gave him a roaring standing ovation. That chased Nolasco, who had won in four of his six previous starts at the Giants waterfront ballpark. He allowed nine hits over 4 2-3 innings, struck out three and walked one. Minnesota scored its lone run in the third on back-to-back singles and a sacrifice fly from Brian Dozier. The Twins, who were outscored 16-4 in the series, managed just three baserunners over the final six innings and were swept for the third time this season. Mauer snapped his skid with a single off Kontos in the ninth but was replaced by a pinch-runner. NOTES: Minnesota announced plans to activate Josh Willingham off the disabled list Monday after the veteran outfielder missed 41 games with a fractured left wrist. The team also plans to call up OF Oswaldo Arcia. To make room, the Twins will option backup C Chris Herrmann and IF Chris Colabello to the minors. ... Nolasco, the Twins opening day starter, is winless in five May starts. ... RHP Yusmeiro Petit (3-1) will start in place of Cain in the series opener against the Cubs. ... Minnesota RHP Kevin Correia (2-5) pitches against Texas on Monday. Hunter Renfroe Jersey . Jesus Navas bookended yet another huge home win for City by scoring after 14 seconds and again in second-half stoppage time, with Sergio Aguero also netting in each half to add to an own goal by Sandro and a brilliant strike by Alvaro Negredo. Nate Colbert Jersey . PAUL, Minn. https://www.cheappadresjerseys.us/1893m-austin-allen-jersey-padres.html . The former Toronto FC designated player played three of his 15 professional seasons with the team.England can make it to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 if they gain the right momentum, says former caretaker manager Peter Taylor. Roy Hodgsons men narrowly beat Portugal in a fairly drab affair at Wembley, with Chris Smallings header sealing the 1-0 win as the visitors played just under an hour with ten men after Bruno Alves red card. But Taylor remained upbeat about Englands chances in the upcoming tournament in France, where they play Russia on June 11 in Group B. I think were a good team. Its all about that first match. If we can win our first match and build momentum we can go from there, Taylor said after commentating on the game for Sky Sports News HQ. Chris Smalling scored the only goal as England beat Portugal 1-0 at Wembley I think we can go a long, long way - and Im talking about the semi-finals. And once you get to the semi-finals anything can happen because youre a confident bunch.The nice thing about England is theyve got a good habit of winning matches. They havent played great tonight but theyve won a match again, from a good goal, and there was still some good things. And it doesnt look like there were any injuries - so thats another positive.Hodgson has experimented with formations in the warm-up games, and played the majority of the Wembley match-up with a diamond formation before switching to a 4-3-3 late on. Dele Allli can play anywhere in Englands diamond formation, says Taylor Despite a lacklusture performance, Taylor thought the formation worked on the night and has identified the players he believes are certain to start in France. Fernando Tatis Jr. Jersey. I thought the formation was good. It was a diamond shape but the difference is [Eric] Dier goes in between the centre-backs, the full-backs push on and its a 3-5-2, which gives us two targets for the strikers and gives us great width, which helps. Dele Alli can play anywhere, top of the diamond, to the left, to the right, even alongside Dier as he did at the start of the season with Tottenham. Allis a cert, [Harry] Kanes a cert, [Wayne] Rooneys a cert - Im not sure [Jamie] Vardy is a cert at the moment. Taylor believes England captain Wayne Rooney is a certainty to start at Euro 2016 The things that are going to make Roy really think are Wilshere looked nice and fit when he came on, started beating people again. We have another nine days and I think he may try to get Wilshere into the team. Maybe Henderson for Milner if he doesnt go the Wilshere route. It wouldnt surprise me if that was Hodgsons back four. A lot of our defending started from the front and I think that affected our performance - Kane works hard getting back, Vardy works hard, we then get the ball and have no targets. It still makes us solid and they didnt test us much. Also See: England edge final friendly As it happened ' ' '
