| No Jose Bautista, no problem. Kris Bryant Cubs Jersey . At least thats the hope for the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night when they host the Chicago White Sox for the second of a four-game series. Bautista has missed four games thanks to a hamstring injury, but the Blue Jays have won three times while scoring 25 runs and compiling a .324 batting average without him. The teams 1-2-3 hitters -- Jose Reyes, Adam Lind and Melky Cabrera -- put together eight hits, four runs batted in and four runs scored in the series opener on Thursday. Bautista could be back for the weekend portion of the series. On the contrary, the Chicago pitching rotation has posted a 5.83 earned run average during an 11-game road stretch in which the White Sox have won just once. R.A. Dickey gets the starting call for the Blue Jays with a chance to end a two-start skid in which hes allowed just five runs in 14 1/3 innings, but had only four runs of offensive support. "I think all but one of my earned runs over my last four or five starts have come on home runs," Dickey said. "Thats tough to overcome." Hes unbeaten in his last seven starts at home, but the White Sox pasted him for seven runs in five innings of a 10-6 Chicago victory when they last met last season. Lefty John Danks goes for the White Sox and faces the Blue Jays for the seventh time. However, hes not met them since May 2011, when he lasted just four innings and gave up nine runs in a 13-4 loss. Danks was a 6-5 loser on Sunday at Minnesota while allowing six runs on 10 hits in five innings. On Thursday, J.A. Happ tossed 7 2/3 scoreless innings as the Blue Jays blanked the White Sox, 7-0. Happ (7-4) struck out eight and scattered four hits while walking two for Toronto. Lind posted three hits and three RBI in the triumph, while Reyes had four hits, two runs scored and an RBI. Scott Carroll (2-4) yielded five runs on nine hits and two walks over five innings for the White Sox. Mark Grace Cubs Jersey . A steady downpour and low temperatures were predicted for much of the night. No makeup date was immediately announced, although it was determined that the game will not be part of a doubleheader on Wednesday. Victor Caratini Cubs Jersey . Damyean Dotson, 19, Dominic Artis, 19 and Brandon Austin, 18, were suspended after the school received a police report concerning allegations made by a student who said she was assaulted by the players in early March. https://www.cheapcubs.com/2120t-brandon-kintzler-jersey-cubs.html . - The RBC Canadian Open will return to Glen Abbey Golf Club next year, marking the 27th time that the national open championship will be played at the Oakville, Ont.CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, Colo. -- Rory McIlroy felt anything under par was a good score Thursday at Cherry Hills, even if he had reason to expect much better. McIlroy ran out of par saves late in the opening round at the BMW Championship and had to settle for a 3-under 67, still enough for the worlds No. 1 player to share the lead with Jordan Spieth and Gary Woodland. Cherry Hills, one of the shortest courses on the PGA Tour when factoring in the mile-high air, held up just fine. "Its tricky. It really is," McIlroy said. "The altitude, weve had a couple of days to adjust to that. Its fine. But these greens have gotten so much firmer over the last 24 hours. I think thats what is giving the guys just a little trouble out there." U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer and Sergio Garcia were among those at 68, while Justin Rose wasted a fast start and was at 69. Phil Mickelson, who won the U.S. Amateur at Cherry Hills in 1990, opened with a 70. "It reminds me of Augusta in the early 90s, where the course played very short but the greens were the defence," Mickelson said. "And the greens were very fast, and very firm, and it was very difficult to get the ball close." McIlroy ran off four birdies in a five-hole stretch around the turn to reach 5-under par. He appeared to escape trouble with one of his best par saves of the year, hitting a lofted pitch from the side of a mound that landed just on the green and rode the slope to about 8 feet. He avoided a three-putt on the next hole by making a 7-foot par save. But that was the end of that. McIlroy failed to save par from the bunker on the next two holes. Spieth also ran into his share of trouble, though he countered with six birdies and figured out the nasty combination of soft turf in front of the greens and putting surfaces that felt like they had been mixed with cement. He blasted driver through the fairway on the 382-yard seventh hole because it offered the best angle into the green. The trick was playing the wedge. It came out low and running, something one would expect to see more in links golf, and it had just enough speed to crawl onto the green and settle a few feet away. "Today, I had a good short game," Spieth said with a smile, a strong comment from a guy with one of the best short games in golf. Woodlland made only one mistake when he three-putted from about 50 feet on the fourth hole. Manny Trillo Jersey. He birdied both the par 5s, missing an 8-foot eagle attempt on No. 11, and was equally pleased with a par on the 18th hole, which features a severely canted fairway toward the lake and an uphill approach. Woodland hit 2-iron off the tee and a 6-iron onto the green. "Probably the firmest golf course we have ever seen," Woodland said. "The greens, theyre concrete out there. So if we dont get any rain, it can be pretty interesting by the weekend." Just his luck, rain arrived late in the day and suspended the first round with nine players still on the course. They will return Friday morning before starting the second round. The field is only 69 players and there is no cut. Among those who did not finish was Henrik Stenson, who missed a 4-foot par save on his 17th hole -- the par-3 eighth -- and fell to 2 under. Jerry Kelly, whose eagle on the final hole at the TPC Boston on Monday enabled him to be the last of the top 70 qualifiers for the BMW Championship, was at 1 under with two holes to play. The top 30 in the FedEx Cup after this week advance to the Tour Championship in Atlanta, where everyone will have a mathematical shot at the $10 million bonus. McIlroy has proven himself plenty this year, winning the British Open and the PGA Championship, with a World Golf Championship in between. He is No. 2 in the FedEx Cup standings behind Deutsche Bank Championship winner Chris Kirk, though he is assured a clear shot at winning the cup. Boy Wonder has been saying during these FedEx Cup playoffs that his big year deserves a big finish. He was hoping for a big round, and almost had one. "The scoring isnt that good out there," he said. "Not that its not good, its just not that low. Its tricky. Its playing a little bit like a U.S. Open. I wouldnt say its quite as difficult as that, but its thick rough, especially around the greens, and firm greens. Thats what they need to keep the scoring the way it is." McIlroy wasnt the only player to reference a major championship. "It felt close to it," Garcia said. "Obviously, its not a long course with the altitude and everything, but a lot of the shots had to be hit perfectly to be able to hit it close to the pin." ' ' ' |
