smacked his fifth homer in five games, a Antworten

RIO DE JANEIRO -- New Zealand runner Nikki Hamblin was lying on the track, dazed after a heavy fall and with her hopes of an Olympic medal seemingly over. Suddenly, there was a hand on her shoulder and a voice in her ear: Get up. We have to finish this.It was American Abbey DAgostino, offering to help.I was like, Yup, yup, youre right. This is the Olympics Games. We have to finish this, Hamblin said.It was a scene to warm the hearts of fans during a qualifying heat of the womens 5,000 meters. Hamblin and DAgostino set aside their own hopes of making the final to look out for a fellow competitor.It started when DAgostino clipped Hamblin from behind and they both went sprawling with about 2,000 meters to go.Hamblin fell heavily on her right shoulder. DAgostino got up, but Hamblin was just lying there. She appeared to be crying. Instead of running in pursuit of the others, DAgostino crouched down and put her hand on the New Zealanders shoulder, then under her arms to help her up, and softly urged her not to quit.That girl is the Olympic spirit right there, Hamblin said of DAgostino. Ive never met her before. Like I never met this girl before. And isnt that just so amazing. Such an amazing woman.As it turned out, DAgostino probably needed more help: She soon realized shed hurt her ankle in the fall.Grimacing, she refused to give up, though, running nearly half the race with the injury. Hamblin did what she could, hanging back with DAgostino for a little while to return the favor and offer encouragement.She helped me first. I tried to help her. She was pretty bad, Hamblin said. She eventually had to leave DAgostino behind and was certain that the American would have to stop.Nope.I didnt even realize she was still running. When I turned around at the finish line and shes still running, I was like, wow, Hamblin said.She waited for her new friend to cross the line -- DAgostino had been lapped -- and they hugged.This time, it was DAgostino who was in tears.As DAgostino was about to be taken away in a wheelchair, she stretched out her right hand and the two runners gripped each others forearms for a few moments.In an Olympics that has seen a few unsavory incidents -- the Egyptian judoka who refused to shake hands with his Israeli opponent, the booing of a French pole vaulter by the Brazilian crowd -- Hamblin and DAgostino provided a memory that captured the Olympic spirit.Olympic officials also decided that both runners, and Austrias Jennifer Wenth, who was also affected by the collision, would have places in Fridays final.Im never going to forget that moment, Hamblin said. When someone asks me what happened in Rio in 20 years time, thats my story ... That girl shaking my shoulder, (saying) `come on, get up.---Follow Gerald Imray on Twitter at https://twitter.com/GeraldImrayAP---Follow the Rio Games at http://www.summergames.ap.org Amani Hooker Titans Jersey . That gave fans outside Joe Louis Arena another chance to ask for autographs from the 19-year-old whose stardom in the NHL has arrived earlier than most expected. Jeffery Simmons Youth Jersey . -- Yogi Ferrell orchestrates pretty much everything in Indianas offence. http://www.titansstoreonline.com/Black-64-Corey-Davis-Womens-Jersey/ . Galatasaray said in a statement on its website Monday that Mancini signed a three-year contract and will be paid 3.5 million euros for the upcoming season, with his salary upped to 4. Earl Campbell Jersey . Isner, ranked No. 14, won his eighth career singles title and took the title in New Zealand for the second time after his victory in 2010. The match was similar to Isners quarterfinal victory over fifth-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber which went to three sets, all tiebreaks and contained no breaks of serve. Eddie George Womens Jersey . Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games. SAN DIEGO -- Jake Arrieta might be starting a late-season push for an NL Cy Young Award. Hes done it before.Arrieta threw eight scoreless innings of two-hit ball to become the NLs first 16-game winner and Kris Bryant and Addison Russell homered, lifting the Chicago Cubs over the San Diego Padres 5-3 on Tuesday night.The story line is Jake, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. He hardly ever lost the plate and his fastball command kept getting better as the game progressed. That was really reminiscent of last year.Arrieta (16-5) allowed a single to Alex Dickerson in the second and Christian Bethancourts double in the eighth. The defending NL Cy Young winner has two no-hitters in the past year, including one while he went 11-0 with an 0.41 ERA over his final 12 starts last season.Its hard to replicate what he did last year, Maddon said. He just nailed it. So if he gets hot over these last couple of weeks you could see more of what you just saw tonight.The Padres brought the go-ahead run to the plate in the ninth, but Aroldis Chapman got the last two outs for his 28th save after Felix Pena was charged with three runs.I was mad at Joe for taking me out, Arrieta said. But at the same time he said, `remember last year? Lets conserve some things for October and late September. That is our game plan.We want to be as strong and dominant as we can be but still in the back of our mind that is that late September, early October, mid-October, is really the most important thing for the ball club. Could I have finished the game? Yes. But does it play in our favor to maybe conserve that for later? Yes.Bryants 33rd home run tied him with Colorados Nolan Arenado for the NL lead.Russell smacked his fifth homer in five games, a two-run shot that put the Cubs ahead 4-0 in the fifth.Arrieta won for the fourth straight start. He had six strikeouts and three walks.The major league-leading Cubs are 21-5 in their last 26 games and 35 games over .500 for the first time since Sept. 25, 2008.Chicago has scored at least three runs in 22 straight games and has hit aa minimum of two home runs in each of its last seven outings.ddddddddddddChristian Friedrich (4-10) lost his eighth consecutive decision. He lasted 5 1/3 innings, giving up five runs and seven hits. He walked four and struck out two.Bryant got his second RBI in the sixth when his sacrifice fly scored Arrieta, who was aboard on a one-out triple.In the Cubs three-run fifth, Ben Zobrist stroked a run-scoring double which preceded Russells long fly. Zobrist had three hits.I definitely made some bad pitches, Friedrich said. It kind of got away from me.Bryant, who won the Golden Spikes Award at the University of San Diego, hit his second home run in two games in the third. His one-out blast put the Cubs ahead 1-0.The Padres blew several chances early.Travis Jankowski was picked off third in the first, and Arrieta, who is 27-5 since the beginning of last August, wiggled from jams in the next two innings thanks to two double plays, the first of three for the Cubs.The pickoff at third was rather large and the double plays, those are demoralizing for the other side, Maddon said.TRAINERS ROOMCubs: RHP John Lackey (right shoulder strain) is progressing with his throwing program and will have a bullpen session this weekend in Los Angeles.Padres: RHP Tyson Ross (right shoulder strain) will have a 45-pitch outing on Thursday for Class A Lake Elsinore. Ross was the Padres opening day starter and hasnt pitched since.UP NEXTCubs: RHP Kyle Hendricks (11-7, 21.6) has 16 straight starts in which hes allowed three runs or fewer, the longest streak in the majors this season. Hes 2-0 with a 1.26 ERA in four starts against the Padres. Hendricks has won all but three road games this year.Padres: Paul Clemens (2-2, 4.82), who was claimed off waivers last month, worked five innings in his last outing on Thursday but didnt figure in the decision. He surrendered three runs on eight hits and three walks to the Arizona Diamondbacks. ' ' '
