CHICAGO -- Justin Verlanders fastball was still popping as he finished up the eighth inning. After closer Jose Valverde finished up Detroits rousing 5-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, Verlander stressed how important the win was for the first-place Tigers. Chicago, which won the series opener, had beaten Verlander in Detroit 11 days ago and was thinking sweep to really get back in the race in the AL Central. But Wilson Betemit came through with a clutch RBI single in the eighth and the Tigers pulled out the victory behind their ace, who got his 14th win. "Huge win. A lot of guys shy away from saying how big a series is at this point in the season, but I think its a big win for us," Verlander said. "These guys had the momentum coming into today. Obviously were in first place and they need to catch up. A sweep would be huge for those guys. The course of the game was really a seesaw battle. To be able to come on top was uplifting for us and hopefully demoralizing for them." Verlander (14-5), allowed four runs and seven hits in eight innings, including two-run homers to Adam Dunn in the first and Paul Konerko in the sixth. Verlander, who threw 125 pitches, came back to strike out Konerko and Dunn with a runner on in the eighth. "If your horse says hes OK, you leave him in there. Thats just the way it is," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. Valverde pitched the ninth for his 27th save in as many chances. Detroit leads the division by two games over Cleveland and the third-place White Sox are 4 1-2 games out. "Its tough, no doubt about it. We knew what tonight meant. We beat Verlander tonight and we have a chance to sweep those guys tomorrow. Tomorrow it turns back on us," said Chicago starter Jake Peavy, who lasted six innings. "Its huge for them, especially with what we have coming up this weekend and to start next week (Red Sox and Yankees.). They know. They pulled it out late and we didnt and thats just the way it goes." Will Ohman (0-2) issued a leadoff walk to Victor Martinez in the eighth and pinch-runner Andy Dirks stole second with Jesse Crain pitching. With two outs, Matt Thornton replaced Crain and Betemit -- recently acquired from Kansas City -- fouled off four pitches before hitting an RBI single to centre. "Im sure he feels great for himself with a new team, against a team thats trying to chase you down in the division," Verlander said of Betemit. "Thats the most crucial battle of the night, by far. To have him do it speaks volumes not only for the management for bringing him in, but for his concentration level and his ability." Konerkos two-run homer, his 24th of the season and second in as many games, tied the game at 4-4 in the sixth and came right after the Tigers had scored three in the top of the inning. Konerko said he wasnt surprised how hard Verlander was throwing in his final inning with one pitch clocked near 100 mph. "He throws hard. Im not amazed, Ive seen him do it before," Konerko said. "You know its there." Brennan Boeschs bunt single got the Tigers started in the sixth. Magglio Ordonez followed with his second single of the game and Miguel Cabrera delivered with a bloop single to right to tie the game 2-2. Martinez then lined a single to right -- Detroits fourth straight hit -- to put the Tigers ahead. Jhonny Peralta followed with a sacrifice fly to push the lead to 4-2. After a double by Betemit, Peavy intentionally walked Alex Avila to load the bases before striking out Austin Jackson. Cabrera singled in a run in the fourth inning before Peavy pitched out of a bases-loaded jam. Peavy allowed 10 hits and four runs in six innings and is still winless in five starts since he pitched four innings of relief against the Nationals on June 25. "Ran out of gas a little bit. Went as hard as I could for as long as I could," Peavy said. "But didnt have good stuff the later the game went. ... Come up with four runs on Justin Verlander. I wish I could have been better. It just wasnt meant to be tonight." Dunn, who was 9 for 90 in his previous 25 games, fouled off three pitches before connecting on a 3-2 pitch from Verlander, sending the ball 436 feet into the bleachers in right-centre field to give the White Sox a 2-0 lead. He struck out in his next three at-bats. Notes: Verlander had given up seven hits and five runs -- four earned -- in six innings while losing to the White Sox in first start after the all-star break on July 15. ... Chicago is 14-20 against the AL Central. ... The Tigers outrighted the contract of veteran 3B Brandon Inge to triple-A Toledo. Inge was designated for assignment last week after the Tigers acquired Betemit. Inge was batting just .177 with one home run in 70 games this season.

Louis Cardinals in the middle test of a three-game series at Wrigley Field. A 27-year-old Californian, Garza was a 15-game winner for the Tampa Bays Rays last season before the Jan. ORLANDO, Fla. -- With a roster that has seemingly gotten thinner by the game over the past month, no wins have come easy for the Orlando Magic down the stretch. Its why the Magic expected to get a strong effort from a woeful Charlotte Bobcats team that came in battling against all-time NBA futility. The Bobcats hung tough, but the Magic made just shots from beyond the arc to hold on for a 102-95 victory Wednesday night, Charlottes 22nd consecutive loss. J.J. Redick had six 3-pointers and scored a career-high 31 points as the Magic snapped a three-game losing streak and more importantly secured the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Ryan Anderson added 24 points and 13 rebounds and Jason Richardson had 17 points and nine rebounds for the Magic, who lost forward Glen Davis to a sprained right ankle. He is the latest injury to strike the Magics roster and drain an already shallow pool of Orlando big men following Dwight Howards season-ending back surgery last week. Davis limped off the court, though initial X-rays taken on the ankle in the locker room were negative. His status is day-to-day. "Obviously, it was good for us," Redick said. "There was definitely some worry (about Davis). You immediately think to yourself How are we going to go forward if hes out for an extended period of time? But it sounds like hell be back this weekend. Hopefully hell have a great recovery." Richardson said while it was nice to lock up a first-round matchup with Indiana, it wasnt at all their focus going into the game. "We just wanted to play and wanted to win a game," Richardson said. "We havent won in a while, had some tough games and a tough road trip. I dont think anybody was thinking about what was going on with the playoffs. We just wanted to win." D.J. Augustin led the Bobcats with 23 points, while Gerald Henderson had 17 and Derrick Brown 16. Charlotte (7-58) heads into its season finale on Thursday needing to beat New York to avoid the worst winning percentage in NBA history. The longest losing streak in NBA history was the 26 games by Cleveland last season. Should the Bobcats lose their finale against the Knicks, their 7-59 record and .106 winning percentage would eclipse the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers and their mark at .110, when they went 9-73. "Nobody in here is used to losing like we have lost this year," Henderson said. "It just kind of humbles you and teaches you a lot about what it takes to be successful in this game. It also teaches you what it takes to have a good team in the NBA. Its a learning process and hopefully we will coome out with a win tomorrow.dddddddddddd" Bobcats coach Paul Silas said he was proud of his teams effort. "I was really happy with the way we played," he said. "We just came up a little short, but we gave it our all." The Magic were active early offensively and beginning to cruise late in the first quarter when Davis stepped on Byron Mullens foot and rolled his ankle. The injury couldnt have come at a more inopportune time for Orlando, which has seen starters Hedo Turkoglu (facial fracture) and Howard both undergo surgery in the past month. Howard, of course, is gone for the rest of the season as he continues rehabilitation in California. Turkoglu may return as early as Thursdays regular-season finale against Memphis and be ready for the post-season, but that is still to be determined. The Bobcats used the moment as a spark and rallied after Davis injury to cut what was a 17-point first-half deficit to 67-66 late in the third quarter. Orlando got it back up to 10 points en**** the fourth quarter before seeing one final push by Charlotte. It was 89-84 when Henderson was whistled for his fifth personal foul and forced to the bench with just over 6 minutes to play. That was immediately followed by Richardsons third 3-pointer of the game to give the Magic a little more breathing room. A 3 a few possessions later by Redick made it 95-86 and following a Charlotte miss Redick nailed his final 3 of the game to push the lead back to 12 points with 4:26 to go. The Magic kept around a 15-point lead throughout the first half before seeing the Bobcats close the gap to 10 at the break. Orlando pulled away early by connecting on 10 of its 22 3-point attempts in the half, led by Redicks five 3s and 16 points. Anderson added 14 points and Jameer Nelson eight points and seven assists. "Basketball is a game of runs. They made their run and we made ours," Nelson said. "Were very fortunate to come out with a victory." Said Magic coach Stan Van Gundy: "It just keeps getting crazier by the day. ... It was a good win even though the team youre playing is 50 games under .500." Notes: The loss was Charlottes 11th straight on the road. ... Brown left the game with a sprained right ankle in the fourth quarter. ... The Magic improved to 25-5 when scoring 100 or more points. ... Turkoglu has been cleared for contact by doctors after three weeks of rehab following surgery to repair facial fractures. He wore a new protective mask during the Magics morning walkthrough, but said it bothered him and needed to be adjusted before his return to action. cheap jerseys cheap nhl jerseys ' ' ' |
