Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Jason Vargas outdueled Cole Hamels and the Seattle Mariners claimed a 2-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in the rubber match of a three-game interleague set. Vargas (5-4) recorded the third complete game of his career, limiting the majors top club to three hits and a pair of walks while fanning six. He retired 16 of the final 17 batters he faced and needed 119 pitches to finish his second shutout of the month. I think your focus has to be there a little bit more, not that it should go away when youre up five runs, but youre definitely more dialed in and focused on what you have to do, Vargas said on his mindset while throwing in close games. Meanwhile, Hamels (9-3) was denied his chance to be the majors first 10-game winner, exiting after 6 1/3 innings. The left-hander yielded seven hits and a pair of runs with six strikeouts -- including the 1,000th in his career. Justin Smoak and Adam Kennedy drove in a run each for the Mariners, who took two of three in the series. Ryan Howard collected two hits for the Phillies, who still hold the best record in baseball at 45-28 but were blanked for the fifth time this season. Hamels retired 11 in a row until Ichiro Suzukis one-out single in the sixth. He advanced on a groundout then scored when Smoak blooped a hit to left. Dustin Ackley began the seventh with a triple, didnt move on a Franklin Gutierrez groundout but came in on a bloop hit to left from pinch-hitter Kennedy. That spelled the end for Hamels, and Jose Contreras managed to keep a lid on the situation by getting Chone Figgins to ground into an inning-ending double play. David Herndon turned in a scoreless eighth, but his offense only managed a two-out single from Howard in the ninth before Ben Francisco flied out to end the game. The hit snapped a streak of 15 in a row retired by Vargas from a walk to Carlos Ruiz in the fourth. You have to give him credit, he mixed it up well, Howard said of facing Vargas. He didnt necessarily have to throw stuff for strikes. He threw enough for strikes to where it kind of got us to get a little bit out of our element, guys were just a little bit out in front of pitches, he threw well. The Phils couldnt push a run across in the first despite two runners in scoring position. Hamels shook off a Smoak single in Seattles turn, then struck out three batters in the second before retiring the side in order in the third. Philly had two on with one out in the fourth, but Raul Ibanez hit into an inning-ending double play with a liner to third. Hamels reached his milestone by fanning Miguel Olivo swinging for the second out in the home fourth. GAME NOTES:Vargas blanked the Tampa Bay Rays on four hits in a 7-0 victory on June 3...Hamels is the third youngest pitcher to record his 1,000th strikeout, after Seattles Felix Hernandez and Tim Lincecum of the Giants...Entering play, the Mariners sported the worst batting average in baseball at a paltry .239...With 1 2/3 innings of scoreless ball, Phillies relievers extended their streak to 17 1/3 frames in the last eight contests.

Harvard owned basketball, too. The school that churns out U.S. presidents, Supreme Court justices, billionaire CEOs and Nobel Peace Prizes was taking a serious run at altering the discourse on this years NCAA tournament, as well. Harvard guard Laurent Rivard of Saint Bruno, Que., made a 3-pointer from the corner, looped his thumb and finger together around his eye — the "3-point goggles" — and flashed a determined glare toward a group of Crimson fans in the stands who were coming unhinged with 7:12 left in the game. Someone in the Harvard nation tweeted: "rooting for the 1 per cent." The Ivy Leaguers had overcome a 16-point deficit to take a two-point lead over Michigan State, a team that always comes up big on college basketballs biggest stage. The next time down the floor, Spartans guard Travis Trice came back with a 3 to put his team back in the lead. A few minutes later, Michigan State was out of danger — not by much, though — on the way to an 80-73 victory that sent Harvard back home, but not without making a statement. "We showed everybody that we can come all year and play with the best," sophomore guard Siyani Chambers said. Led by a career-high 26 points from Branden Dawson, the fourth-seeded Spartans (28-8) moved onto the Sweet 16 for the 12th time in the last 17 seasons. Theyll play Virginia or Memphis next Friday at Madison Square Garden. A lot of fans thought Harvard could win its first game against Cincinnati. But even President Obama had picked Michigan State to eliminate his law school on the way to the national title. Yet even in a loss, Harvard hoops proved it is here to stay. "I thought our kids competed," coach Tommy Amaker said. "We knew we would." The program Amaker took over seven years ago was in its third straight NCAA tournament and two nights removed from only the second March Madness win in school history. Last year, the encore was a disheartening 23-point loss to Arizona. This time, it was something much different against an opponent that may have been even better. "Thats one thing Coach Amaker talks about, that were not just built for the Ivy League, were built to go past that," junior forward Jonah Travis said. "Thats one of our main goals, to match up with teams like that and beat teams like that." Over a comeback that lasted 7 minutes, 31 seconds, 12th-seeded Harvard (28-5) pounded on Michigan State, plain and simplee.dddddddddddd The rally started with a pair of 3-pointers by Brandyn Curry and continued relentlessly. The Crimson grabbed almost every loose ball, kept hands in Michigan States flustered faces. Steve Moundou-Missi, the 6-foot-7 forward who was supposed to contain Michigan States 6-10 power player, Adreian Payne, simply outplayed him. When Moundou-Missi tipped in a missed shot with 10:22 left, Harvard trailed only 55-53. At that point, both the chant ringing from the Harvard stands — "I believe that we will win" — and the sign one of the fans was holding — "We always bring our A+ Game" — was more than just good PR. Michigan State called a timeout but Tom Izzos play produced an offensive foul. Moundou-Missi missed a layup, but Wesley Saunders, who led the Crimson with 22 points, scrambled for a loose ball and dunked to tie it. About 90 seconds later, Rivard hit his 3 to put Harvard ahead 62-60. "You look down the other end, and Ive got a good friend thats down there," said Izzo, who goes back more than 20 years with Amaker. "I kept saying, Theyre going to come back. You better realize that." They did. Yet somehow, once the Spartans lost the lead, they started playing better. Harvards lead lasted just 18 seconds. After Trice put the Spartans in the lead, Rivard missed a 25-footer — part of a 2-for-5, seven-point night in which he was shut down by Gary Harris. Payne came back with two free throws and Harris made a 3 of his own, part of an 18-point, five-assist night that complemented his great defence. "It was a scare and we need to give credit to Harvard," Michigan State guard Denzel Valentine said. Payne followed his career-high, 41-point night in the opener against Delaware with a modest 12 points, but the final lesson in this one was all the ways Michigan State can beat you. Dawson had matched his previous career best of 20 by halftime. When he took a pass from Trice for a layup with 1:54 left, he gave the Spartans a 73-67 lead. Harvard pulled within four and Moundou-Missi blocked Keith Applings shot on the other end. But the Spartans won a scramble for the ball and Amaker stomped his foot and shouted "Dammit." The game was pretty much over by then and both teams had proven a point: Harvard can play with anyone and Michigan State can handle a legit challenge. "A wonderful effort by our team," Amaker said. "But you have to play perfect basketball to pull a game out like that." cheap nfl jerseys ' ' ' |
