MILWAUKEE -- Lyle Overbays aggressive approach with the bases loaded in the ninth inning paid off for the Milwaukee Brewers.
[b]Basket Nike Pas Cher[/b] . The veteran left-handed hitter had struck out two innings earlier on a steady diet of pitches down and away in the zone. Overbay was determined not to let the Cincinnati Reds do that to him again, especially with the game on the line. Overbays game-ending RBI single off the first pitch from Jumbo Diaz with one out lifted Milwaukee to a 3-2 win Friday night that helped the Brewers keep pace in the National League playoff race. The Brewers won their third straight to stay 1 1/2 games back of Pittsburgh for the second NL wild card. "I wanted to make sure I didnt miss it," Overbay said when asked if he was looking to hit the first pitch. "The at-bat before I was a little tentative and they were pounding me low and away." The pitch from Diaz (0-1) was down, but more in the middle of the zone. Overbay squared up and went the opposite way to the gap in left-centre, allowing pinch-runner Logan Schafer to jog home with the winning run. Overbay made the Reds pay for intentionally walking Ryan Braun and Gerardo Parra to get to him. "We were just trying to get a ground ball, forceout at home plate and trying to get a double play," Reds catcher Brayan Pena said. "It was meant to be down, outside, but he got a pretty good swing on it and they won the game." Teammates mobbed Overbay as he rounded first base. The crowd celebrated by putting two arms up to form a circle in the shape of an "O" for Overbay. "That was one of the coolest things in a while, since I actually looked up and saw it," Overbay said. "That was pretty cool." MILESTONE Jonathan Lucroy had a leadoff double in the ninth for Milwaukee. It was his 44th double as a catcher this season, tying the National League record set last year by St. Louis Yadier Molina. NERVOUS NINTH Cincinnati had a chance to go in front in the top of the ninth against Francisco Rodriguez (5-5). Brandon Phillips led off with a four-pitch walk and made it to third on a sacrifice and groundout. After Zack Cozart walked, pinch-hitter Jack Hannahan struck out looking on a 3-2 fastball. Hannahan was so unhappy with the call that he had to be restrained by manager Bryan Price. Hannahan ended up getting ejected by home plate umpire Dan Iassogna. It only got worse for Cincinnati, which had won three in a row. SPOT START Cincinnati wasted a surprising outing by spot starter Daniel Corcino, who allowed just two hits and two runs in six innings. He filled in for the injured Mat Latos. Corcino even got his first big league hit on a single in the third. He was told Thursday he might be needed to start against Milwaukee. "As soon as I get to the mound I forgot about everything. You know, youve got to do the job," Corcino said. TRAINERS ROOM Reds: Latos was a late scratch with a bone bruise in his right elbow. The right-hander missed the first 2 1/2 months of the season with right elbow and left knee injuries. Price said Corcino would replace Latos again if he cant make his next start. Brewers: LF Khris Davis was out of the starting lineup for a second straight day with right forearm tightness. Davis, who has a team-high 22 homers, will likely start on Saturday, manager Ron Roenicke said. UP NEXT: Reds: LHP David Holmberg (0-1) threw 5 2-3 scoreless innings on Monday after replacing injured starter Dylan Axelrod. Now, Holmberg gets the start Saturday for his first career appearance against Milwaukee. Brewers: RHP Yovani Gallardo (8-9) will try to snap out of a tough stretch after going 0-3 with a 5.95 ERA in his last four starts. ------

[b]Air Max 97 Pas Cher Homme[/b] . TSN Hockey Insiders Pierre LeBrun and Bob McKenzie both reported Thursday that there have been ongoing trade discussions between the Oilers and Los Angeles Kings over forward Sam Gagner.TSN Hockey Insiders Bob McKenzie, Pierre LeBrun and Darren Dreger gathered for the latest installment of Insider Trading and the topics discussed were the Edmonton Oilers goaltending situation, Chris Kunitzs Olympics chances, Morgan Rielly and Sean Monahans NHL prospects and the status of Dylan Chanter. How are the Edmonton Oilers reacting to their poor goaltending to start the season? Bob McKenzie: Devan Dubnyks sub-par performance on Saturday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs does not have Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish pushing the panic button, but it does have him reaching for the telephone. As early as Sunday, MacTavish has been working the phones and working them hard to determine the market for goaltenders. They are looking at every possibility, from Anaheims Jonas Hiller to Buffalos Ryan Miller to Brian Elliott in St. Louis to Michal Neuvirth in Washington and beyond. There isnt anything the Edmonton Oilers arent at least looking at or considering, but we are to believe that nothing is imminent at this point. Part of the problem the Oilers are going to run into is that most of these teams dont want to make a deal this early in the season and give up one of their surplus goaltenders until they get a better handle on their own situation. Darren Dreger: The Buffalo Sabres were hoping to wait until at least Christmas before they could assess and if you look at Ryan Miller, yes he would be a good fit for the Edmonton Oilers they need that bonafide number one, but contractually he has a modified no-trade, he has the opportunity to pick up to eight teams where he wont accept a trade. Edmonton could be on that list. Regardless, if they arent on the list and there is potential for a trade with Anaheim or Buffalo, the Oilers are getting to the point where they realize theyre going to have to give up one of their young guns. Is Chris Kunitz under scrutiny by the Hockey Canada selection team? Pierre LeBrun: Id say this is a debate at least internally for the Team Canada brain trust bbecause this is a guy they brought to the Olympic camp, I know when we put our teams together we werent all on the same page with Chris Kunitz.
[b]Basket Air Max 97 Pas Cher[/b]. Peter Chiarelli of the Team Canada committee group was in Pittsburgh to watch Kunitz Tuesday night and they are going to watch him very closely. There are some people in the group that believe he is the perfect complement to Sidney Crosby, if he can do it in Pittsburgh he can do it at the Olympics because its so hard to find a guy to mesh with Crosby. Other guys in the group just dont think he belongs in the Olympics; this debate is going to go down to the wire. What are the chances Morgan Rielly stays with the Toronto Maple Leafs instead of being returned to Junior? Dreger: 80 per cent chance that Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly sticks in the National Hockey League this year. He has to play better this week than he did on the weekend against the Edmonton Oilers. If he does, hell seal the deal. What are the chances for Sean Monahan to stick with the Calgary Flames? LeBrun: Sean Monahan of the Calgary Flames is second in rookie point scoring heading into Tuesday but the Flames want to see how hes going to play in tough upcoming road games. They are going to face the San Jose Sharks, Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings, thats real competition, then theyll decide what to do with him. What is the status of Dylan Chanter and will this lead to changes in the USHLs fighting policies? Dreger: Dylan is still recovering, hes not yet willing to talk about the incident, obviously he needs more time and wants a few more days to get back to normal. The USHL and USA hockey are not going to leave this incident alone without a full investigation. Its unlikely that theyre going to embrace any sort of rule change or further restrictions to fighting in the USHL in season, but USA hockey is very passionate about this so I wouldnt be surprised if they adopt the college hockey route, stricter restrictions to fighting in the off-season.
