on an RBI single by Melvin

    导出博客文章In Bob Quinns first news conference as general manager of the Detroit Lions?in
    January, he said he had zero tolerance for two things: domestic violence and gun
    issues. On Monday morning, the Lions signed tight end Andrew Quarless, who is on
    probation for firing a gun in public in Miami Beach on July 4, 2015.Quinn
    released a statement with the signing, acknowledging that Quarless has a
    two-game suspension at the start of the regular season, should he make the
    roster.We are aware of the upcoming NFL suspension of Andrew Quarless, Quinn
    said in the statement. We have thoroughly researched the incident that caused
    the suspension and have talked at length with Andrew about this. Andrew has been
    forthright and honest about the situation and he has gone through the process
    within the legal system.As an organization we are comfortable with adding Andrew
    to the roster and look forward to seeing him compete for the rest of the
    preseason.Lions head coach Jim Caldwell, when asked about Detroits
    zero-tolerance policy for domestic violence and dangerous weapons, said he
    believes in second chances and that the franchise did their diligence on
    Quarless before signing him. Unlike his boss, he did not come across as concrete
    about zero tolerance.Every case is different, Caldwell said. You have to look at
    every single case on its own and you take a look at that and make a decision. I
    dont think it can ever be just simply black and white.When asked what
    characteristics make Caldwell -- and theoretically the Lions -- give a guy a
    second chance, Caldwell wouldnt go into specifics.Everybodys different, Caldwell
    said. These arent clones out there. These are people that have issues, and the
    thing about it is oftentimes people look to, particularly in this day and age,
    look to just completely get rid of people. Sometimes they heal in the broken
    places.You might not understand that, but I think most of us in this sport
    do.The Lions said earlier Monday that Quinn would not address reporters after
    practice. It was Quinn, not Caldwell, who mentioned the zero-tolerance policy in
    January.Quarless said Monday he spoke with Quinn and Caldwell, among others,
    before signing with the Lions and that all the conversations he had with the
    franchise were genuine and truthful. He wouldnt get into specifics of the
    conversations, but said he felt like the Lions got a good sense of the person he
    is.When asked what people should know about the incident, he said people
    shouldnt rush to judge.You could judge anybody, you know, Quarless said. First,
    you got to look in the mirror first, you know what Im saying, before you judge
    somebody. Its something I moved forward from and Ive taken the steps to move
    forward progressively, and Im just looking forward to being part of this
    organization.Quarless was sentenced to one year of probation and given a $1,000
    fine after pleading no contest in November. He also had to attend an anger
    management course and a weapons safety course, and he had to forfeit his gun.He
    had four catches for 31 yards in five games for the?Green Bay Packers?last
    season. In 2014, his last full season, he had 29 catches for 323 yards and three
    touchdowns. Quarless, who went to Penn State, was a fifth-round draft pick by
    Green Bay in 2010.The Lions are thin at tight end, with Eric Ebron recovering
    from an ankle injury, Brandon Pettigrew on the physically unable to perform list
    coming back from a torn ACL and Tim Wright on injured reserve.Detroit waived
    tight end Ben McCord to make room for Quarless.The Lions also placed wide
    receiver Andre Caldwell on injured reserve and signed linebacker Dominique
    Tovell. Caldwell sat out the last week of practice due to an undisclosed injury.

    seasons. SAN DIEGO -- With his 19th home run, Wil Myers is playing so well that
    his manager expects him to be San Diegos representative in the All-Star Game at
    Petco Park on July 12.And then theres 28-year-old rookie Ryan Schimpf, who hit
    his first big league home run Friday night, when the San Diego Padres avoided a
    total bullpen meltdown to hold off the New York Yankees 7-6.It felt good to get
    it out of there for sure, said Schimpf, who played 733 minor league games before
    getting his first big league call-up on June 14.He homered to right-center
    leading off the second inning.Its kind of always been my game, I guess, ever
    since I was little, said Schimpf, who hit 15 homers in 51 games at Triple-A
    before being called up. Kind of a big-swing guy trying to drive the ball every
    time. Thats just kind of how Ive always been, but obviously I dont want to be
    big swing, big miss. I want to go up there and put together a good at-bat and
    hit the ball hard.Said manager Andy Green: It was fun to see. ... Theres a lot
    of positives to pull from it and hes going to continue to get
    opportunities.Colin Rea (5-3) pitched six strong innings for the Padres, who
    snapped a three-game losing streak and handed the Yankees their fourth loss in
    six games. The righty held New York to two runs, one earned, and four hits while
    striking out five and walking one.The Padres, who traded closer Fernando Rodney
    to Miami on Thursday, then gave up four runs in the ninth.After Matt Thornton
    allowed pinch-hitter Alex Rodriguezs RBI single that pulled the Yankees to 7-3,
    Brandon Maurer came on with two on and none out in the ninth. He allowed Didi
    Gregorius RBI double and Aaron Hicks RBI groundout before his wild pitch brought
    in another run. Pinch-hitter Carlos Beltran doubled and advanced on Jacoby
    Ellsburys groundout before Maurer got Brett Gardner to ground out to earn his
    first save.Myers didnt slow down even though the calendar has turned to July. He
    had 11 homers, 33 RBI and 21 extra-base hits iin June.ddddddddddddMyers hit a
    two-run, opposite-field shot to right off Nathan Eovaldi in the fifth. Travis
    Jankowski was aboard on a leadoff single.I wasnt too worried about the calendar
    flipping, Green said. I felt pretty good about where his swing was and what he
    feels like, takes his walk, steals a base, homers. Its what hes been doing for a
    while now, so he better be an All-Star.New Yorks Brian McCann homered with one
    out in the sixth off Rea, his 13th.The Padres jumped on Eovaldi for three runs
    in the first, on an RBI single by Melvin Upton Jr. and Derek Norris two-run
    double.Ellsbury hit an RBI single for the Yankees in the second.Eovaldi (6-6)
    lost his fourth straight start, allowing six runs and seven hits in 4 1/3
    innings, struck out two and walked three.`Hes got good stuff but consistently he
    has to locate or hes going to get hit, manager Joe Girardi said. He had two outs
    and he didnt make pitches.Said Eovaldi: Ive got to do a better job of being able
    to locate my pitches in big situations.THE SPLENDID SPLINTERThe Padres inducted
    San Diego native Ted Williams into their Hall of Fame, which opened earlier
    Friday. Williams, who attended Hoover High, played for the Padres of the Pacific
    Coast League in 1936 and 1937 before being sold to the Boston Red Sox. San Diego
