导出博客文章HOUSTON -- Robinson Cano continued his dominance against the Houston Astros on
Wednesday to keep Seattles playoff hopes alive.Cano hit a three-run homer in the
first inning, and the Mariners kept pressure on the other AL wild-card
contenders with a 12-4 win over the Astros.Kyle Seager added another three-run
drive in the eighth, his 30th home run this season, as Seattle pulled within 1
1/2 games of Baltimore for the second AL wild card. Houston dropped three games
back as its magic number for elimination was cut to two. The Orioles were at
Toronto on Wednesday night.If you want to help your starter, youve got to start
early and also put pressure on the other team, Cano said. Thats what we did
today.Canos career-best 36th home run, a drive off Doug Fister (12-13), landed
in the first row of the Crawford Boxes in left field. Cano has nine homers and
25 RBI in 19 games against Houston this season.Huge home run early by Robbie
really got everybody relaxed a little bit, manager Scott Servais said. Everybody
contributed today ... everybody had to contribute and were still alive.Seattle
doubled its lead in the second on Nori Aokis RBI single and Seth Smiths two-run
single. Ketel Marte made it 7-0 with a run-scoring infield single in the
third.James Paxton (6-7) allowed three runs and six hits in five innings,
striking out eight.Fister gave up five runs and five hits over 1 1/3 innings in
the shortest start of his big league career. Fister has lost five straight
decisions, and Houston has lost his last seven starts -- all five innings or
fewer.Getting into the game was very difficult for him, Hinch said. His command
wasnt great. He didnt execute the way he does when hes good.George Springer hit
a solo home run in the third for the Astros, who closed to 7-4 in the sixth on
Evan Gattis solo homer.Since the Astros are off Thursday, if the Orioles win
their next two games, Houston could be eliminated by the time it takes the field
on Friday.Im not ready for that, Hinch said. This is not a position that were
happy to be in, but its a position that we are in.FAREWELLSThe game was the
final broadcast for the Astros Bill Brown, who is retiring after 30 seasons with
the team. It was also the last game for Tals Hill in Minute Maid Park. The
Astros will renovate the ballpark this offseason, and the center-field fence
will be moved in.SCRIBNER SOLIDServais was impressed with the work of reliever
Evan Scribner, who took over with two on and no outs in the sixth inning and got
the Mariners out of a jam. He allowed one hit and no runs in two innings for his
third hold this season.Hes been awesome probably about the last 10, 11 times
out, Servais said. But you have those days where it just didnt look good and it
was time to go to Scrib and he certainly picked us up today.UP NEXTMariners: LHP
Ariel Miranda (5-2) will start the first of a four-game series Thursday against
Oakland. Miranda will be making his 12th appearance and will be looking to
rebound after giving up three runs in four innings Saturday at Minnesota.Astros:
Brad Peacock (0-0) will start for Houston on Friday when it opens a three-game
series against the Los Angeles Angels. It will be the fifth start this season
for Peacock, who has a 2.67 ERA.---AP freelancer Jeremy Rakes contributed to

Ace-King. New Zealand 104 for 3 (Raval 55*, Nicholls 29*) trail Pakistan 133
(Misbah 31, de Grandhomme 6-41, Southee 2-20) by 29 runsScorecard and
ball-by-ball detailsIt was a tale of two debutants on a fascinating day of Test
cricket where ball dominated the bat. Although the final analysis of 13 wickets
for 237 runs would suggest a menacing surface, the truth was that a lot of
batsmen, especially from Pakistan, were out poking or trying to play expansive
drives. New Zealand fared much better with the bat, and held the aces as the
first Test moved forward at a breakneck speed despite an entire day being washed
out by rain in Christchurch.Colin de Grandhomme, the Harare-born Auckland
allrounder who had previously taken just one five-wicket haul in 83 first-class
games, had the best figures (6 for 41) by a New Zealand debutant. It meant
Pakistan, sent in to bat, were rolled over for 133. Misbah-ul-Haq, captaining
his country for the 50th time, top scored with a typically feisty 31 off 108
deliveries during the course of which he proved it was the top orders impatience
and not a menacing Hagley Oval green top that contributed to their downfall; no
other batsman crossed 20.In reply, Jeet Raval, the other debutant, replacing
Martin Guptill, overcame a testing new-ball burst to finish 55 not out as New
Zealand recovered from early losses of Tom Latham, Kane Williamson and Ross
Taylor to end on 104 for 3, trailing by just 29 runs. Playing late and
committing himself wholeheartedly to his strokes, both off the front and back
foot, he picked off seven boundaries and looked at ease even as his partners
largely struggled; particularly against Mohammad Amir in a probing opening spell
that read 6-2-6-1.Things could have been much worse for New Zealand had Henry
Nicholls, replacing Luke Ronchi, not substituted flamboyance for grit and
patience to finish unbeaten on 29. The fourth-wicket pair added 64, but in
blunting out 19.4 overs, they ensured New Zealand had limited the new-ball
damage to potentially make run-scoring a lot easier on the morrow.The surface
demanded patience which Pakistan clearly lacked, as their top order crumbled
after a solid 31-run opening stand that frustrated New Zealand. In trying to
bowl full and swing the ball late, their new ball pair of Tim Southee and Trent
Boult either slipping the ball down the leg side or bowl it full and wide in the
first hour as Sami Aslam and Azhar Ali went iinto their shell, seemingly happy
to blunt the new ball.dddddddddddd Then Williamson turned to de Grandhommes
seam-ups over Neil Wagners bustling pace, and the move worked immediately. After
two poor overs in which he sprayed the ball, de Grandhomme broke through when he
scythed through Azhars defence with an in-dipper. The old adage of one brings
two ensured when Southee, brought back form the other end, sent back Aslam, who
jabbed hard to get a thick edge to Raval at second slip.Babar Azam was reprieved
on 4, but couldnt curb his instincts of trying to drive on the up as he was also
pouched in the slips. When Younis Khans flashy cover drive to a delivery he
could have left alone off de Grandhomme was pouched by Raval in the cordon,
Pakistan had sensationally slipped from 31 without loss to 56 for 4.Pakistan
slowly rebuilt through a 32-run stand, but the lunch break came to New Zealands
rescue as Asad Shafiq, demoted to No. 6 after a fruitless stint at No. 3 in the
UAE, poked one to gully. Sarfraz Ahmed tried to unsettle the bowlers by walking
outside the crease, giving bowlers the charge and play a typically aggressive
game. Not even being hit on the helmet by a steep bouncer altered his approach.
Eventually a tame waft resulted in a simple catch at gully to a relieved Todd
Astle, who put down a chance earlier in the day.Watching the carnage unfold,
Misbah continued to bat on in the hope that he would find some support from the
tail. But such was the nature of Pakistans collapse that Williamson resisted
temptation to give his faster men a break, and go for the kill. Boult and
Southee overcame insipid starts to finish with two wickets apiece.For a while it
looked like New Zealands top order would match Pakistans indiscretions. After
Tom Latham was lbw to Amir, Williamson, in particular, fell tamely when he
pushed away from the body - neither attempting a punch nor a full-blooded cut
shot - to be caught at slip. Ross Taylor, all at sea against Sohail Khans late
away-swing, was snaffled down leg side to extend his lean patch to 10 innings
now to open up the game.With over 25 overs left, two more wickets then may have
tilted the scales Pakistans way. That it didnt was largely due to Ravals
steadfast determination and Nicholls grit that capped off an eventful day.
