OAKLAND, Calif. rams-andrew-whitworth-jersey.aspx">Andrew Whitworth
Jersey . -- Pinch-runner Rajai Daviss decision to
steal third base just as Oakland catcher Derek Norris was
throwing the ball back to the pitcher caught most
everyone by surprise -- including several of his Detroit
teammates. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus just hopes its the
spark to pull his slumping team out of its two-week funk.
Davis scored on Austin Jacksons fielders choice groundout
in the eighth inning and the Tigers beat the Athletics 6-
5 on Tuesday night to end a three-game losing streak.
"Raj was just being Raj," Ausmus said. "He likes to wreak
havoc on the bases, he saw the pitchers head drop and he
took advantage." A day after getting shut out in this
ALDS rematch from a year ago, the Tigers jumped out to an
early lead, lost it, then rallied to win for just the
second time in nine games. That helped overcome another
rough outing by reigning AL Cy Young winner Max Scherzer,
who gave up five runs and eight hits in six innings but
was long gone by the time Davis scored the game-winning
run. J.D. Martinez drew a one-out walk off Oakland
reliever Fernando Abad (0-2). Davis was brought in to run
and the speedy outfielder took second on a passed ball.
He then stole third when As catcher Derek Norris was
throwing the ball back to Abad. After Luke Gregerson
replaced Abad, Jackson hit a sharp grounder to shortstop
Jed Lowrie, but the As were unable to turn the double
play and Davis raced home with the go-ahead run. "I think
he caught the whole stadium sleeping," Tigers closer Joe
Nathan said. "I know I missed it." As manager Bob Melvin
credited Davis for his aggressive running. "That was the
difference," Melvin said. "He timed it perfectly. As soon
as (Norris) let go of the ball he took off. I havent seen
the replay yet if he had a chance to get it and throw him
out, but thats a big chance he took and it paid off."
Miguel Cabrera and Torii Hunter homered for the Al
Central-leading Tigers. Al Albuquerque (2-1) pitched one
inning for the win and Nathan worked the ninth for his
12th save in 15 tries. John Jaso homered for the As. The
game began as a marquee matchup between Scherzer and
Sonny Gray, but both starters were gone after the sixth.
Scherzer, who beat the As in Game 1 of the ALDS last
season, struck out four, walked two and balked home a
run. Grey, who led the AL in ERA entering the night,
wasnt much better. He pitched with runners on base in
nearly every inning, allowed four runs for the first time
this season and struck out five before leaving with a
one-run lead after the sixth. The As bullpen couldnt make
it stand. Reliever Dan Otero gave up Hunters tying home
run with two outs in the seventh before the Tigers scored
off Abad in the eighth. It was a much-needed boost for
the slumping Tigers, who had dropped seven of eight
before coming from behind to beat the As. "We certainly
needed it for sure," Ausmus said. "The mood has been good
all along ... (but) you could tell in the dugout that the
players really wanted this one." Detroit, which was shut
out in the series opener, got to Gray when Hunter doubled
with one out in the first and scored on Cabreras single
up the middle. After Gray walked Victor Martinez on four
pitches, J.D. Martinez lined an RBI double to right-
centre to make it 2-0. Oakland tied it in the second on
RBI doubles by Lowrie and Alberto Callaspo before Cabrera
hit his tiebreaking home run in the third and Alex Avila
doubled in Jackson in the fourth to make it 4-2. Coming
off his worst start of the season, Scherzer couldnt make
it hold up. He balked home a run in the fourth after
giving up singles to Josh Reddick and Callaspo. Jaso
followed with his fifth home run of the season, a two-run
shot that gave Oakland a 5-4 lead. NOTES: 2B Ian Kinsler
went 0 for 5 in his return to Detroits lineup after
getting his first day off Monday. That ended Kinslers 11-
game hitting streak. ... Josh Donaldson has reached base
in 42 consecutive games, the longest streak in franchise
history since at least 1914, according to the team. ...
The game featured three potential All-Stars. Detroit 1B
Cabrera and 2B Kinsler, along with Oakland 3B Donaldson.
All are leading at their respective positions in the
first voting figures released by MLB. ... As LHP Scott
Kazmir (5-2) pitches Wednesday and has a 3.99 ERA in 13
career starts against Detroit. Hell oppose Tigers RHP
Anibal Sanchez (2-2).

rams-john-johnson-jersey.aspx .Y. -- Cory Schneider
has to make the most of his opportunities to guard the
New Jersey Devils net to earn more playing time.COLUMBUS,
Ohio -- In the dressing room after Brandon Dubinskys late
goal forced overtime, Columbus Blue Jackets forward Nick
Foligno half-jokingly said hed get the winner. Then he
did it. Dubinsky scored with 22.5 seconds left in
regulation and Folignos wrist shot just inside the blue
line 2:49 into the extra session -- from right over the
top of the Stanley Cup painted under the ice -- gave the
upstart Columbus Blue Jackets a 4-3 victory over the
Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night. Asked if he had
called the goal, Foligno laughed. "I might have," he said
with a wide grin. "I didnt actually think it would work
out, but it ended up working. Im going to thank my lucky
stars." The Blue Jackets overcame a 3-0 deficit for their
first home playoff victory in the franchises 13 seasons,
sending the series back to Pittsburgh for Game 5 on
Saturday night tied 2-2. The defeat left the Penguins,
who had rolled over Columbus in all five meetings during
the regular season, stunned. "We lost the game, its 2-2
now and we have to have a response from our whole group,"
Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. Craig Adams, Chris
Kunitz and James Neal scored in a 5:01 span in the first
period to stake the Penguins to a three-goal lead and
briefly silence the rowdy crowd of 18,970. But the Blue
Jackets, unlike prior teams that had made the franchise a
laughing stock by piling up defeats and failing in big
games, kept coming. Rookie Boone Jenner scored on a 5-on-
3 power play to cut it to 3-1. That was an ominous sign
for the Penguins. In the three previous games of the
series, a team had scored first on the way to a 3-1 lead
-- and then lost the game. This one was no different.
Ryan Johansen, who would star on Dubinskys tying shot,
then tapped in a goal, also with a man advantage, to make
it 3-2 through two periods. It stayed that way, both
Marc-Andre Fleury of Pittsburgh and Columbus Sergei
Bobrovsky trading big saves, until the final minute. As
brilliant as he had been at times, Fleury was the
culprit. Without really having to, he elected to go to
the back wall to handle Jack Johnsons pass around the
boards. He whiffed trying to handle the puck, it hopping
over his stick, and he was left out of position. Johansen
was there to saucer a quick backhanded pass through the
crease where Dubinsky netted it with 22.5 seconds left.
"We just dumped it in and went to work," said Dubinsky,
acquired in the blockbuster deal that shipped captain and
franchise hallmark Rick ;Nash to the New York Rangers two
years ago. jamon-brown-jersey.aspx">Jamon Brown Jersey. "It was
a Columbus goal. We forechecked them hard, Joe threw it
out front to me. I dont know what happened with Fleury,
but a couple of guys went down and I shot through them
and it went into the net." That touched off a wild
celebration, with dancing in the aisles and the loudest
sound heard in the Blue Jackets mostly dismal 13 seasons
-- well, for at least a few minutes. Meanwhile Dubinsky
slid on one knee on the ice before being mobbed by his
teammates. In the overtime, the Blue Jackets had the best
of it -- as they had for all but the start. Foligno
carried the puck through the neutral zone and was 12 feet
across the blue line when he fired a low wrister that he
tucked under Fleurys glove. As the players piled on top
of Foligno, the crowd went crazy again. "The fans were
outstanding," Foligno said. "When we were down 3-0, they
stuck with us and they kept cheering us on. And it really
gave us a lot of momentum throughout the game." Fleury
finished with 42 saves but had no explanation for what
happened on the tying goal. "They dumped it in and I
thought I would stop it for my (defence)," he said. "I
dont know, it just bounced over my stick and went right
to their guy (Johansen). And he put it right in front."
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby defended his goalie. "I
didnt get a good look but, you know what, I trust Marc,"
he said. "For a puck to come out like that, Im sure it
had to take a bounce or some kind of a weird hop." Bylsma
also blamed a funny bounce. "It was just a puck that
comes off of the stanchion and its a bouncing puck," he
said. "Obviously, it leaves them with an open cage and an
opportunity." The closing goals buoyed the hopes of the
Blue Jackets and called into question the Penguins, who
have been playoff busts since winning the Stanley Cup in
2009. "I dont know if you can script a better finish,"
Richards said. Notes: The NHL announced earlier Wednesday
that Game 5 will start at 7 p.m. on Saturday in
Pittsburgh. ... Bobrovsky had 22 saves for the Blue
Jackets. ... Columbus was without rookie D Ryan Murray,
who was wearing a boot after being hit with a puck in
practice. Veteran Nick Schultz took his spot. ... Bylsma
said he was hopeful C Marcel Goc (ankle) may be able to
play in the series. ... Likely NHL MVP Crosby has not
scored a goal in his last nine playoff games and Evgeni
Malkin hasnt found the net in his last eight.
