导出博客文章NEW YORK -- Since losing four straight home games to the Boston Red Sox, the
Baltimore Orioles have recovered nicely.The recovery has gone so well that not
only are the Orioles solidifying their standing as wild card team, they might
get a chance to host the play-in game next week.More performances like Fridays
8-1 victory at rainy Yankee Stadium would help and by the end of Saturday, the
Orioles could know if they are hosting the wild card game.Step one is to beat
the Yankee on Saturday afternoon and step two is for the Toronto Blue Jays to
lose to the Boston Red Sox Saturday night at Fenway Park.The Orioles are in the
favorable position because they have won six of their last seven games since
Sept. 22. They swept Arizona at home last weekend, took two of three in Toronto
and opened the series in New York by getting home runs from Jonathan Schoop,
Adam Jones and Mark Trumbo.Those home runs moved the Orioles (88-72) a game
ahead of the Blue Jays. Toronto only leads the Tigers by one half-game for the
second wild card spot and Baltimore should clinch Saturday, it might not even
find out its opponent until Monday.Not much at all until I had no choice because
it was right behind the pitchers head every time I looked out there, Baltimore
manager Buck Showalter said in his best attempt to deny watching scoreboards. I
caught a couple of glimpses, but I dont watch it that much. I really dont. I
watch our scoreboard a lot.Since the finale of their series with the Red Sox,
the Orioles have hit 12 of their major league-leading 250 home runs and scored
27 runs.Perhaps more importantly is Baltimores pitchers, which has been regarded
as a significant weakness, has turned in a 1.38 ERA in those games.On Friday
Yovani Gallardo followed 6 2/3 strong innings by Ubaldo Jimenez in Toronto when
allowed one run and two hits in six innings On Saturday it will be Wade Mileys
turn to keep it rolling.Miley missed the series in Toronto to be with his wife,
who gave birth to the couples first child. He returned Friday and the Orioles
will look to see if he can follow up his best start of the season.A week ago,
Miley struck out 11 hitters in 8 2/3 innings against Arizona at Camden
Yards.Command of the fastball and setting up the off-speed pitches (was big),
Miley said. (Catcher Matt Wieters) did a great job. I mightve shook one time all
night long. We just kind of had a plan, and he put down the right fingers.Miley
is 0-3 with a 5.77 ERA in six career starts against the Yankees. He had a chance
for a win at New York April 10, 2015 when he held a 3-0 lead but Bostons bullpen
blew the lead before winning a 19-inning decision.New York will be playing its
second game after being eliminated from playoff contention Thursday night. While
the Yankees have won four of five, they also have dropped 12 of 19 since a
seven-game winning streak Sept. 4-10.Its no fun being in this position, New York
manager Joe Girardi said. It isnt. You dont work to be in this position. You
work to be in the other.The Yankees also will be hoping rookie Gary Sanchez can
conclude the season with a .300 average. Sanchez is batting .298 and has one hit
in his last 26 at-bats, marking the first time his average is under .300 since
Aug. 9.Masahiro Tanaka likely would have started had the Yankees remained in
contention. Tanaka missed his last start with a forearm strain but once the
Yankees were eliminated they decided not to pitch him.Hes healthy, Girardi said.
He threw a really good bullpen the other day. It just doesnt make sense for
us.Instead, Luis Severino will start and try to get his first win a starting
pitcher this season. Severino is 3-8 with a 5.75 ERA but as a starting pitcher
he is 0-8 with an 8.59 ERA in 10 starts.

Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes,
announced Wednesday that the team would assign Swedish forward Elias Lindholm to
his nations team for the upcoming tournament. WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- When Patrik
Laine was drafted by the Winnipeg Jets this summer, he knew the teams power play
had finished at the bottom of the NHL last season.The 18-year-old forward wanted
to help -- and he has in a big way.Laine scored twice on the power play to help
the Jets beat the Dallas Stars 4-1 on Thursday night.When I came here, they had
the worst power play last year so I thought that I could bring something to the
power play, Laine said. And now Ive got a couple goals on the power play. Those
are important goals for these games. Im just trying to help my team to win.Laine
has four of Winnipegs five power-play goals through seven games. He has six
goals overall -- tying him for the league lead with a number of players,
including fellow rookie Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs.Weve played
only seven games, but its nice that Ive got those goals and helped my team to
win with those games, Laine said.Jets coach Paul Maurice said Laine doesnt show
much emotion when he scores because the sniper is used to it.Hes a spectacular
shooter, Maurice said. Hes a really humble person. Its important to him that he
portrays himself like that. ... Hes probably not going to be throwing a parade
for himself after he scores a couple of goals. He has that
expectation.Defenseman Tyler Myers got the Jets on the scoreboard 15 seconds
into the game and rookie Kyle Connor got his first NHL goal. Connor Hellebuyck
had 38 saves.Winnipeg, which lost at Dallas in the opener of the home-and-home
on Tuesday, has scored five power-play goals this season, with the 18-year-old
Laine getting four.With Dallas trailing 3-0, Tyler Seguin scored his fourth of
the season 33 seconds into in the third period.Im not going to sit here and say
they were completely outskating us or completely out-battling us, Seguin said. I
thought we could have made some smarter choices. But we lost. Were going to move
on and get ready for Saturday night (against Minnesota).Antti Niemi stopped 32
shots for the Stars.Winnipeg was 2 for 7 on the power play and Dallas went 1 for
6.Stars head coach Lindy Ruff said special teams was the
difference.Five-on-five, we probably had the edge in thhe chances, but special
teams, they generated a lot of energy and a couple goals, Ruff said.dddddddddddd
We got off to a tough start with that shot going in, but I thought our work
ethic inside the game was good.Winnipeg got off to a fast start and outshot
Dallas 22-13 in the opening period. In the opening minute, Myers took advantage
of a loose puck bouncing off the boards in the Dallas end to fire a one-timer
from the point past Niemi.Both teams then took turns on the power play, but
neither capitalized.Dallas had a two-man advantage for 1:16, then the Jets got
on the power play and fired eight shots on Niemi in just over 1 1/2
minutes.Nikolaj Ehlers and Connor then went down the ice on a 2-on-1 at even
strength, with Ehlers passing the puck across the ice for Connors high shot to
double the lead with 3:48 left in the first.Nicky made a great pass over and I
just tried to get it upstairs, Connor said. Its definitely a special feeling.
You work so hard to get to this point and to get rewarded like that feels
good.Connor, who was a healthy scratch in Tuesdays loss, was playing his sixth
game of the season.Laines fifth of the season at 4:30 of the second made it 3-0
just 8 seconds after Stars defenseman John Klingberg was sent off for
hooking.Seconds after Seguins goal, Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien crashed
into the boards after getting tangled up with Stars forward Antoine Roussel, but
only went to the dressing room for a few minutes.Laine scored his second of the
game with 6 seconds left in a two-man advantage on a shot into the left side of
the net that made it 4-1 at 10:17.Game notes The Jets had gone into the game
only holding a lead for a total 17:02 in their first six games. ... Laines
second-period goal marked the first time this season Winnipeg held a three-goal
lead, and the first time the Jets hadnt trailed going into the third.UP
NEXTStars: At Minnesota on Saturday night in the middle game of a three-game
trip.Jets: At Colorado on Friday night in the back end of their first of 14
back-to-backs this season.
