A look at whats happening all around the majors Saturday:---PRICE IS RIGHTRed Sox left-hander David Price (16-8, 3.
Authentic Soccer Jerseys 2018 .81 ERA) looks to extend his career-best winning streak to eight games when Boston hosts the rival Yankees at Fenway Park. Price has allowed two or fewer runs in six consecutive starts. Right-hander Bryan Mitchell (1-1, 6.14) goes for New York, which has lost five of six and is struggling to stay in the AL playoff race.TOUGH TRIBEJustin Verlander (14-8, 3.33 ERA) has been roughed up by the Indians this season but gets a chance at some redemption when the Tigers continue their AL Central showdown in Cleveland. Verlander is 0-3 with a 9.18 ERA against the Indians in 2016, part of the reason Detroit trails first-place Cleveland by seven games. The right-hander is 9-14 in 25 career starts at Progressive Field.THUMBS UP?Cardinals slugger Matt Holliday will test his broken right thumb when he faces some live pitching with the hope he might be able to return this season as St. Louis makes a playoff push. The outfielder hasnt played since Aug. 11, when he was hit by a pitch. He had surgery to insert a screw for the fracture, but his thumb remains sore. Its clearly not 100 percent, Holliday said. Its more stable than it would be if I had not had the surgery.HELP ON THE WAYWith the Mets in a tight NL wild-card race, first baseman Lucas Duda is set to be activated from the disabled list after recovering from a stress fracture in his lower back. Duda hasnt played since May 20, but has been taking batting practice and will be integrated slowly. Left-hander Steven Matz, who has not pitched since Aug. 14 because of shoulder tightness, is scheduled for a bullpen session. And right-hander Jacob deGrom (forearm) will start Sundays series finale against Minnesota in his first appearance since Sept. 1. In addition, Gold Glove outfielder Juan Lagares (thumb) was activated from the DL before Friday nights win but will be limited to a defensive-replacement role.BIRD MANOrioles right-hander Chris Tillman (16-5, 3.68 ERA) faces Tampa Bay in his second start since returning from shoulder bursitis. Tillman beat Detroit on Sunday and can reach a career high in wins by defeating the last-place Rays. Tampa Bay will counter with Matt Andriese, who is 0-3 with a 9.24 ERA lifetime against Baltimore.FAB FREDDIEBraves bopper Freddie Freeman is expected back in the lineup against Washington, looking to reach base safely for a career-best 37th straight game. Freeman was not at the ballpark Friday to spend time with his wife and their first child, a son who was born on Thursday. During the streak, Freeman is batting .362. His run is the longest for Atlanta since Chipper Jones reached safely in 41 consecutive games in 2008.

http://www.nflchinaauthenticcheapjerseys.com/ . Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN. SHANGHAI -- No one from Japan has more than Hideki Matsuyamas three PGA Tour victories. No one from Japan ever won a World Golf Championship.None of this might have been possible if Matsuyama had never left home so quickly.Even after he blew away a world-class field in the HSBC Champions to reach No. 6 in the world, the 24-year-old Matsuyama was not comfortable being mentioned with the five players ahead of him in the ranking or other Japanese players before his time.That starts with Jumbo Ozaki, who won more than 100 tournaments and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame five years ago.But theres one big difference.Ozaki rarely played outside the Japan Golf Tour. His only victory away from home was the 1972 New Zealand PGA Championship. Matsuyama stopped playing a full Japanese schedule after one year, instead coming to America to see how he stacked up against the best.His first PGA Tour victory in 2014 at the Memorial led tournament host Jack Nicklaus to say, I think youve just seen the start of whats going to be truly one of your worlds great players over the next 10 to 15 years.Matsuyama won the Phoenix Open in a playoff over Rickie Fowler earlier this year. And then he played the final 45 holes at Sheshan International for a seven-shot victory Sunday over British Open champion Henrik Stenson and Daniel Berger to become the first Asian to win a World Golf Championship.If I would have just stayed in Japan, I dont think my golf game would have improved as much as it has, Matsuyama said. I needed to go out. I needed to go to America. Winning this week proves to me that I did make the right decision, and it gives me more motivation to win more.Told he was No. 6 in the world, Matsuyama paused from signing tournament flags and said with a smile, That makes me very happy.He speaks limited English, though he understands enough, and so when he heard words suggesting he was No. 1 in Japan, he stopped what he was doing.I dont feel that I am the No. 1 player in Japan, he said. There are so many greats that have paved the way, that have enabled me to be where Im at today.Early in his career, Matsuyama played in Japan with Ozaki. He said he didnt fully grasp Ozakis feats until much later, and believes the legend he calls Jumbo-san has established a standard that no one will ever touch.At least in Japan.Around the world, Matsuyama has been making his mark long before his victory iin Shanghai.
NFL Jerseys Free Shipping. He won the Asia Amateur in 2010 by five shots to earn a spot in the 2011 Masters, made the cut at Augusta National and tied for 27th. Later that year, at 19 and still going to college, he won the Taiheiyo Masters, one of the top tournaments in Japan. Matsuyama also won another Asia Amateur, and then made another cut at the Masters.Once he finished his college degree in Japan, he won four times as a rookie and finished the year at No. 23 in the world, one spot behind American rookie Jordan Spieth. Perhaps the reason he never received enough attention was that Japan didnt have a history of success away from home.Now it does.He said winning the Memorial showed me that I can compete with some of the best players in the world. The Phoenix Open was validation.And then todays win proves to me I can compete with everyone, he said. It will give me great confidence going forward, especially in the majors.Thats the next stop, and its one reason he wont put himself in the same class as the five players ahead of him in the world ranking -- Jason Day at No. 1, followed by Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Stenson and Spieth. All of them have won majors.Matsuyama finished fifth and seventh at the Masters the past two years. He was in the mix at Muirfield in the 2013 British Open his rookie year before tying for sixth. He shot all four rounds in the 60s at Baltusrol and tied for fourth in the PGA Championship this year.Im thrilled to be No. 6 in the world, he said. But being on the same level as those other players, Ive got to win a lot more to be considered with them.Still to come is the World Cup later this month with Ryo Ishikawa, his close friend who has returned from back injury with five straight top 10s, including a victory. Matsuyama will never face the scrutiny of Ishikawa, who won a Japan Golf Tour event as a 15-year-old amateur and for years received the kind of rock-star treatment at home that only Tiger Woods could appreciate.What makes them different is their youth. Ishikawa is only five months older.All the great players before me came to the United States when they were in their 30s, Matsuyama said. Both of us have come earlier. If theres a difference, its the age we came to the U.S.Its a different path, indeed. But its working.
