Laberecke » scorer Maurice Creek -- who averages 14 points

In his final start before Game 1 of the upcoming American League Division Series, Chris Tillman looks to avoid his first loss since mid-July as the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night open a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays. Tillman has come a long way for the Orioles since he was acquired from Seattle in 2008 as part of the package for Erik Bedard. Baltimore also got talented outfielder Adam Jones in that deal. The 26-year-old Tillman is 13-5 with a 3.26 earned run average this season, going 6-0 with a 2.06 ERA in 13 starts since the All-Star break. He has not lost since July 12 and has not allowed more than three earned runs in 20 consecutive starts dating back to early June. Because of that, Tillman has already been named the starter for the first game of Baltimores upcoming ALDS series against a still-to-be decided opponent. It means a lot, Tillman told Baltimores website of getting the start. Im excited about it, looking forward to it. Ive still got one more start to go [in the regular season], so Im pretty focused on that, but at the same time, I know it means a lot to the team and means a lot to me. Hopefully, Ill get us going in the right direction. The right-hander is coming off a win over Boston on Saturday in which he allowed two runs over seven innings. However, Tillman is just 1-2 with a 4.35 ERA in three starts versus Toronto this season. Baltimores regular season-ending series with Toronto figures to be more low key than its recently wrapped four-game set with the New York Yankees. That marked the last home series for the career of retiring shortstop Derek Jeter, who in dramatic fashion lifted the Yankees to a walk-off 6-5 win over the Os on Thursday. The ever-dramatic Jeter stepped to the plate with a runner on second in the ninth inning and laced a patented opposite-field single through the hole between first and second base. Antoan Richardson slid in safely in front of Nick Markakis throw. Baltimore had tied the game in the ninth on a two-run homer by Jones and a solo blast off the bat of Steve Pearce. It was cool, Jones said of the atmosphere. But we wanted to win the game. Toronto will be trying to win this game tonight behind right-hander Drew Hutchison, who has lost back-to-back starts. That includes a 5-2 setback to the Yankees on Sunday. Hutchison allowed two runs, but on five hits and three walks as he lasted just four innings. The 24-year-old did strike out six to give him 27 over his past three outings. He is 10-13 on the year with a 4.51 ERA and 3-1 with a 2.15 ERA in seven career starts versus Baltimore. Toronto is a game back of second-place New York in the AL East. The Blue Jays outscored Seattle 25-6 in winning the first three of a four-game set, but lost Thursdays finale 7-5. The Orioles have won four straight and 10 of 16 versus the Blue Jays this season. DeAndre Jordan Jersey . Omar Rahou made the discriminatory gesture several times while celebrating scoring a goal against Romania at Antwerp in January, UEFA said. The sanction was double the five-match ban Nicolas Anelka received from an English Football Association independent tribunal last week for the same act. Blake Griffin Jersey . Strasburg (1-1) got 14 consecutive outs in one stretch and allowed only three hits, including Marcell Ozunas homer in the seventh. The right-handers lone walk was to the last batter he faced. Washingtons starter Wednesday, Jordan Zimmermann, left after a career-low 1 2-3 innings, leaving the bullpen "taxed," as manager Matt Williams put it. http://www.clippersnbateamshop.info/sam-dekker-clippers-jersey/ . PETERSBURG, Fla. Custom Clippers Jerseys . Kuper, a fifth-round pick in Denvers 2006 draft, started 79 games at guard over eight seasons. He dislocated his left ankle in the last game of the 2011 regular season, and though he started another seven games after that, he never returned to his previous level. Luc Mbah a Moute Jersey . - Henrik Samuelsson and Curtis Lazar each had two goals and two assists as the Edmonton Oil Kings secured top spot in the Eastern Conference by defeating the host Red Deer Rebels 7-4 on Saturday in Western Hockey League action.RALEIGH, N.C. -- George Washington kept hanging around, refusing to let Memphis pull too far ahead. The Colonials just couldnt come up with the one shot they needed to prolong their first NCAA tournament visit in seven years. Isaiah Armwood scored a season-high 21 points in ninth-seeded GWs 71-66 loss to eighth-seeded Memphis in the second round of the East Regional. Armwood picked up his fourth foul with 12:02 remaining for GW (24-9), which was just 2 of 12 from 3-point range yet never fell behind by more than 10 points. "It definitely changed my defence, because when Im on defence, Im usually active. I couldnt foul," Armwood said. "It definitely hurt us because I gave up some layups that I dont usually give up." Leading scorer Maurice Creek -- who averages 14 points -- finished with nine on 2-of-13 shooting for GW, but he airballed a 3-pointer in the final seconds that would have tied it. Michael Dixon Jr., the top sixth man in the American Athletic Conference, scored 19 points and hit four free throws in the final 10 seconds for Memphis, which never trailed. Joe Jackson added 15 points for the eighth-seeded Tigers (24-9), who are halfway to Geron Johnsons post-AAC tournament guarantee of two wins in the first weekend of the NCAAs. "As long as we think big and we play hard, the skys the limit," Jackson said. "Weve just got to continue to think that we can get there. Weve got to know we can get there." They entered the tournament having lost three of five to fall out of the national rankings, and shot 49 per cent in this one but struggled to put GW away until the final seconds. Patricio Garino added 10 points for the Colonials, who were making their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2007 and hung around all game before making a final late push. They had the ball down 67-64 after Jackson threw the ball away with 1:16 left. But Creeks jumper in the lane was short and so was Nemanja Mikics 3-point attempt from the right wing with lesss than a minute remaining.dddddddddddd "I think if we would have tied it, the momentum was sort of shifting and maybe we would have tied it, had some time outs and things wouldve been different," GW coach Mike Lonergan said. Crawford missed a 3 for Memphis with about 30 seconds left and the rebound went out of bounds off Jackson with 26.6 seconds left. Joe McDonald beat Crawford off the dribble for a layup to make it 67-66 with 13.6 seconds left, and the Colonials fouled Dixon with 9.6 seconds left. Dixon hit both free throws and the Colonials called a timeout to set up their final possession. McDonald dribbled a few seconds off the clock before passing to Creek, whose final 3-pointer with about 3 seconds left left failed to draw iron. "A shot I usually hit," said Creek, a 41 per cent shooter from 3-point range. Dixon added two more free throws with 0.4 of a second remaining for Memphis, which could never push its lead past 10. Its last big lead came on Dixons jumper from the corner with 9 1/2 minutes left. Creek hit a 3-pointer -- GWs second, and last, of the game -- before GWs 1-3-1 zone forced a turnover and Garino made a layup to make it a 64-62 game with 2 1/2 minutes left. Out of a timeout, Memphis worked the ball to Dixon -- who buried an open 3-pointer from the right wing and kept his shooting hand aloft for an extra moment. At the time, that seemed like the dagger -- but the Colonials kept scrapping. "They made a run at the end," Dixon said, "but we never got flustered or rattled." Both teams werent especially good behind either line on the court: Memphis was 11 of 16 from the free throw line and hit just 27 per cent of its 3-point attempts, while GW was 14 of 24 from the free throw line in addition to its poor 3-point shooting. "Theyve got a good inside-out punch," Jackson said. "Fortunately, we kind of stopped them from shooting 3s because it probably would have been a long night for us."
