single before Martinez hom

  • January 9, 2019
    导出博客文章USA Luge had a breakout season last winter, winning a team-record 18 medals on
    the World Cup circuit.Of those, only three came in Europe.Winning on familiar
    tracks in the U.S. and Canada was an important and considerable step forward for
    the program -- and now the Americans are hoping some of that success can be
    enjoyed more frequently on the other side of the Atlantic. The first chance at
    that comes Saturday, when the World Cup season opens in Winterberg, Germany.Our
    team had a lot of success in North America last year, U.S. mens veteran Chris
    Mazdzer said. We almost had a lot of success in Europe. We had a lot of
    fourth-place finishes. We were really close to medaling a lot of times ... and
    the goal is to take those fourth places and try to climb one or two spots on the
    ladder.Mazdzer had two of those three World Cup medals from European stops last
    season, including a silver in Winterberg in the circuits finale. That marked the
    third straight year of USA Luge leaving Winterberg with a medal, after Tucker
    West took bronze in the 2014-15 season and the Americans took silver in the team
    relay in 2013-14.Traditionally, German tracks havent been particularly kind to
    the Americans. Theyre hoping the trend of success in Winterberg continues this
    weekend.Were crossing our fingers for nice weather, said Erin Hamlin, the former
    womens world champion and the 2014 Olympic bronze medalist at the Sochi Games.
    But other than that, its keeping things rolling in the same direction theyve
    been going, getting equipment dialed in and staying healthy. And for me,
    enjoying it and getting the season started.Winterberg is the lone stop on this
    European trip, before the circuit comes back to the tracks the Americans know
    best.After this weekend, the next three World Cups are in Lake Placid, New York;
    Whistler, British Columbia; and Park City, Utah. On the two American tracks last
    season, the U.S. won 11 medals.So some early success could lead to plenty of
    momentum, as sliders start really ramping up for the 2018 Olympics in South
    Korea.Everyone starting right now is thinking Olympics, how to get there and how
    to be the best for that time, Mazdzer said. So even though, yes, theres World
    Cups every week, I think a lot of people are on an Olympic mindset. A lot of
    important decisions are going to be made in the next year and a half, and were
    going to have to push each other to be the best possible.That being said, the
    U.S. might not be at its best this weekend health-wise, particularly on the
    womens side.Emily Sweeney has been dealing with a wrist issue that is impeding
    the way she starts races -- and the start is critical in luge, though she still
    won some preseason races despite the injury. Summer Britcher, who was fifth and
    one spot behind Hamlin in the overall womens World Cup points standings last
    season, has been slowed by a shoulder problem.I dont know about Summer, but for
    myself, Im not expecting a huge number, Sweeney said. Id be happy with something
    less than what I would be expecting if I was healthy. For now, its more about
    just getting into that race atmosphere and feeling like the season is finally
    here.---This story has been corrected to show that the World Cup season opens in
    Winterberg, not Altenberg, Germany.

    They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive
    display.HOUSTON -- Chris Young has had a tough start to the season, with a
    sub-.200 batting average and was 0 for 5 entering Fridays game. Turns out that
    his slump was nothing a trip home and belly full of moms barbecue couldnt cure.
    Young connected on a three-run homer in the ninth inning to lift the Oakland
    Athletics to a 6-5 win over the Houston Astros on Friday night. "Moms cooking
    definitely has something to do with it for sure," said Young, who grew up in
    Houston and spent an off day Thursday with his family. "Barbecue, just good old
    Texas southern barbeque. It always does the trick for me." Young is hitting just
    .189 this season. But hes a career .418 hitter at Minute Maid Park with seven
    home runs and 27 RBIs in 19 games in his hometown. Manager Bob Melvin, who also
    saw Young thrive in Houston when he played for him in Arizona, wasnt surprised
    by his performance on Friday. "Hes got quite a track record here in this
    ballpark," Melvin said. "It seems like every time he comes here whether hes not
    swinging all that well or he is he ends up doing some big things here." The As
    trailed 5-3 before closer Jose Veras (0-3) walked two of the first three batters
    of the inning to set the table for Young. He turned on a curveball to put
    Oakland up 6-5. "I didnt make the pitch that I was supposed to make, and then I
    paid for it," Veras said. "You fall behind, fall behind, and then youve got to
    pay one day." Young stood at the plate for a couple of seconds admiring the
    towering shot before heading to first base. He raised both arms and pointed to
    the section where about 50 friends and relatives were sitting before heading
    into the dugout after reaching home plate. "Its nice to have the whole family in
    the stands," he said. "Its one of the places where you feel a lot of love, a lot
    of support. Houstons always treated me well, I like coming home so its partly
    that and partly the yard plays pretty good for my swing." Seth Smith had a solo
    pinch-hit homer for Oakland in the sixth inning. Pat Neshek (1-0) pitched a
    scoreless eighth for the win and Grant Balfour walked two in the ninth before
    getting his 10th save. He has converted 28 straight save opportunities since
    last season. J.D. Martinez hit a three-run homer and Matt Dominguez also homered
    in a five-run fifth inning for the Astros, who fell to 0-7 against Oakland this
    season. The Athletics were up by two before Dominguez got Houstons big fifth
    inning going with his first-pitch home run off Tommy Milone. Jose Altuve tied it
    with an RBI single before Martinez homered for the second straight game to give
    the Astros a 5-2 lead. Houston starter Erik Bedard yielded four hits and two
    runs in five innings. He gave up both runs in the first inning before settling
    down. Milone became the fourth straight Oakland starter to last seven innings.
    He gave up eight hits and five runs with six strikeouts. By scoring five runs,
    the Astros ended a streak of Oakland allowing three or fewer runs in six
    straight games.dddddddddddd Coco Crisp drew a leadoff walk before Young extended
    his hitting streak against the Astros to 15 games with a single. An RBI single
    by Yoenis Cespedes put Oakland up 1-0. Bedard then plunked Josh Donaldson before
    retiring Derek Norris for the first out. Luke Montz then grounded into a force
    out and Young scored to make it 2-0. Houston couldnt do much against Milone
    early and he retired 14 of the first 16 batters he faced. He struck out the
    first two batters of the fifth inning before Dominguez launched his fifth homer
    of the season to the back of the Crawford Boxes to cut the lead to 2-1. It was
    the first of five consecutive hits for the Astros. Ronny Cedeno and Robbie
    Grossman hit back-to-back singles before Jose Altuve snapped an 0 for 18 slump
    with an RBI single to tie it at 2-all. Second baseman Eric Sogard almost ended
    the inning on Cedenos hit, but the ball dropped just out of his reach after he
    sprinted and slid to try and snag it in shallow centre field. Martinez gave the
    Astros a 5-2 lead with his three-run shot. It was Martinezs second consecutive
    game with a home run after he hit a two-run shot in Houstons win over the Royals
    on Wednesday. Milone finally escaped the inning when Carlos Corporan grounded
    out. "Really I never even thought about getting anybody up at that point he had
    been pitching so well and it happened so quickly," Melvin said of the fifth
    inning. "But its a little unlike him because he usually can stem the tide and
    keep from having the big inning like that. It just wasnt the case tonight." Paul
    Clemens replaced Bedard for the sixth inning and Smith greeted him with a
    pinch-hit homer to get Oakland within 5-3. It was the sixth pinch-hit homer of
    Smiths career and the second by Oakland this season. Young had a single in the
    seventh inning and that and his homer were Oaklands only hits after Smiths
    homer. Young also had a three-run homer in his last appearance at Minute Maid
    Park to help the As to a 9-3 win on April 7. NOTES: Los Angeles Clippers centre
    DeAndre Jordan, who is from Houston, threw out the first pitch. ... The series
    continues on Saturday when Oaklands A.J. Griffin faces Lucas Harrell. ...
    Oakland SS Jed Lowrie was out of the lineup for a second straight game after
