th three hits — including two doub

MIAMI — David Wright has been feeling more comfortable at the plate in the past week, and he was due for a big game. Freddie Freeman Jersey . Wright broke out of his offensive woes with three hits — including two doubles — and three RBIs and powered the New York Mets to an 8-6 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night. „Its fun to get hits, its fun to drive in runs, and it sure is fun to win,“ Wright said. „All in all, a good night.“ Wright came into the game in a 7-for-50 slump, dating to Aug. 14, and had only one extra-base hit in August. „Its nice to feel comfortable and its nice to feel dangerous, and thats what Ive felt lately,“ Wright said. Juan Lagares reached base five times, including a career-high four hits, stole two bases, scored three runs, and drove in two for the Mets, who pounded out 16 hits — two shy of their season high. New York had 18 against Atlanta on July 8. „He had a tremendous night offensively,“ Mets manager Terry Collins said. Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton hit his 35th home run and second in two games against the Mets. He drove in two runs to give him 101 RBIs, becoming the first Marlins player to drive in 100 runs since Dan Uggla had 105 RBIs in 2010. „This guy has been locked in and feeling good,“ Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. „The last couple of days the swings have been great and hes been focused. I know he probably doesnt think about the 100 RBIs but to see the way hes playing at crunch time, its fun.“ Christian Yelich had three of the Marlins 11 hits. Miami beat the Mets 9-6 on Monday when they were helped by six New York errors. „You have nine guys trying to put good at-bats and score runs,“ Yelich said. „Offence can be streaky at times. Hopefully we can keep this up and finish the year strong.“ Jonathon Niese (8-10) earned the win on Tuesday, giving up five runs in six innings. Jenrry Mejia pitched the ninth to record his 22nd save in 25 chances. Brad Penny (1-1) took the loss, allowing seven hits and four runs in three innings. The Mets jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second inning before Stantons two-run homer cut the Marlins deficit to 4-3. New York extended its lead to 7-3 with three runs in the fourth on RBI singles by Lagares and Lucas Duda, and a run-scoring double by Wright. A sacrifice fly by Reed Johnson and an RBI single by Yelich pulled Miami within 7-5. Wrights third RBI of the game came on a sacrifice fly in the sixth. That was matched by a groundout by Garrett Jones, who scored Adeiny Hechavarria in the bottom of the sixth to keep the Marlins within two runs at 8-6. Relievers Carlos Torres, Jeurys Familia, and Mejia held the Marlins scoreless over the final three innings. „You can have a game like last night where we absolutely stunk and you can bring in the same guys in the same situation the next night and they can be brilliant, and thats baseball,“ Collins said, „Thats what makes our game great.“ TRAINERS ROOM Marlins RHP Henderson Alvarez (left oblique strain), who left Mondays start early because of the injury, plans on throwing a bullpen session in the next couple of days with the hope of making his next start. UP NEXT Marlins RHP Tom Koehler (9-9, 3.79) will look for his first 10-win season in Wednesdays series finale against Mets RHP Jacob deGrom (7-6, 2.94). Koehler has a 2.68 ERA against the Mets in 11 appearances, making eight starts. DeGrom is 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA in two starts against the Marlins. LAGARES ON A ROLL Lagares two stolen bases gave him five in five games. He is hitting .381 (16 for 42) over his last 11 games. „I think youre seeing the making of a really good player,“ Wright said. CAPPS MAKES RETURN Marlins RHP Carter Capps gave up one run and two hits in 1 2-3 innings with two strikeouts in his first appearance since May 25 against Milwaukee. He had been sidelined by an elbow injury. Sonny Jackson Jersey . Picard had a goal and two assists to help Canada improve to 2-0 at the tournament. Seven different players scored for the two-time defending champions. „Today all four lines played excellent,“ said head coach Laura Schuler. Braves Jerseys China .com) – The University of Montana named Bob Stitt as its new head football coach on Tuesday.DALLAS – Tyler Seguins week away from Dallas felt a little longer, probably because it included a pair of one-goal losses at Anaheim to start a first-round playoff series. The Dallas Stars headed west last weekend celebrating their first post-season berth since 2008 before a meaningless regular-season finale in Phoenix. They came home subdued but resolute, ready to see how fans who used to think playoff hockey was as regular as Easter on their calendar will react to 2,162 days without it. Game 3 is Monday night. „Be interesting to see the atmosphere, especially with these fans not seeing playoff hockey in a while,“ said Seguin, the teams leading scorer in the regular season. „Pretty long trip. Feels like we havent been home in a while.“ Seguin has seen his share of the post-season, even though hes just 22. But about half the Dallas roster hasnt, including linemate Jamie Benn, who was second to Seguin in points during the regular season. The inexperience showed in the playoff opener, when the Stars fell behind 3-0 in the first period of a 4-3 loss. „Other than that I think once the guys got their feet wet everyone stepped up and did a pretty good job,“ said Seguin, who won the 2011 Stanley Cup with Boston and already has 44 career playoff games. „Theres going be Game 7s and a lot of things you cant really teach. Youve just got to be there. But we have a lot of experience in this locker room.“ All those playoff newcomers still dont know what a win feels like either. Anaheims Ryan Getzlaf led a 3-2 victory Friday, getting a goal and an assist playing with a mask after he took a slapshot to the jaw iin the series opener. Babe Ruth Jersey Large. Corey Perry also had a goal for the Ducks, who are looking for their first playoff series win since 2009 a year after losing to Detroit in the first round as the No. 2 seed. Anaheim is the top seed in the West this season against the wild-card Stars. „If you look at it, both goals were unassisted,“ Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. „So it wasnt like they had to make great plays. We handed both those players those opportunities.“ And the Stars didnt take advantage of their own chances. They outshot the Ducks 36-19, but couldnt pull even after Ryan Garbutt got them within a goal in the third period. Dallas pulled goalie Kari Lehtonen on a power play for a 6-on-4 advantage in the last 3 minutes, creating plenty of havoc but never getting one past Anaheim rookie Frederik Andersen, who has outplayed Lehtonen by stopping 66 of 71 shots. „Weve got to find a way to get a little bit more traffic on him, make life tough for him,“ said Benn, who had a goal on five shots in his playoff debut but just one shot Friday. „Hes been making some pretty big saves and weve got to find a way to bury our chances.“ If the Stars are going to get back in the series, home ice is the likely place to do it. They were 23-11-7 during the regular season, including 8-1-1 in their last 10. The home finale was a dominating 3-0 win over St. Louis to clinch a playoff spot. „Its pretty hard to go on the road,“ Seguin said. „Its an opportunity here at home to do the same thing they did to us.“ ___ Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler ‚ ‚ ‚
