TOKYO -- International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach expressed willingness Tuesday to work with Tokyo officials to try to reduce spiraling cost estimates for the 2020 Summer Games. Ronnie Lott Jersey .Bach arrived in Japan amid growing tension between Olympic organizers and recently elected Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike and her push to cuts costs. He declined to discuss specific proposals, saying he only knew about them from media reports.The Tokyo metropolitan government will finalize its internal study, then well discuss it with the other stakeholders ... and then I am confident that you will see a significant reduction in the cost compared to what we have seen so far from the press, Bach told reporters after a 40-minute televised meeting with Koike.After her election at the end of July, Koike convened a panel of independent experts to review Olympic venues and costs.Its most drastic proposal has been to suggest moving the rowing and canoeing venue to northern Japan, after the estimated cost for the planned site rose to seven times more than the initial estimate.The local organizing committee in Tokyo has objected to the possible change, arguing the competition should remain at the planned Sea Forest Waterway.It said the existing facility that Koike proposes using in Miyagi prefecture lacks infrastructure, accommodation for spectators and will be inconvenient for athletes.Tokyo organizers also said the final construction cost for the Sea Forest Waterway will likely be lower than estimated, while additional costs for transportation, security and infrastructure to move the events to Miyagi would add up.Already, the venues for basketball, taekwondo and cycling have been moved outside of Tokyo to reduce costs by using existing facilities. Cycling was moved to Izu, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) southwest of the capital.Tokyo won the right to host the games in 2013 by promising a compact bid with 28 of the 31 competition venues within a five-mile (eight-kilometer) radius of the Olympic Village. Originally, only shooting, modern pentathlon and one soccer venue were to be outside the radius.---Follow Mari Yamaguchi at https://www.twitter.com/mariyamaguchiFind her work also at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/mari-yamaguchi Jimmie Ward Jersey . Ouellette, from Montreal, already has three Olympic gold medals since joining the team in 1999. Terrell Owens Jersey . But what about the officials? Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle. http://www.49ersfootballpro.com/49ers-DeForest-Buckner-Jersey/ . The team said Saturday that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 overtime loss at Philadelphia on Friday. The Nets said they would issue another update next week after consultation with their doctors. CLEVELAND -- Andrew Cashner was acquired by the Marlins on July 29. Six starts and seven appearances later, he is still seeking his first win for them.The right-hander issued a career-high six walks Friday night, allowing six runs in five innings as the Cleveland Indians beat Miami 6-2. The third-place Marlins remained three games behind St. Louis for the final NL playoff spot.Cashner (4-11) threw 28 pitches before getting an out as the AL Central leaders scored three times in the first. The Indians tacked on a run in the second and two more in the fifth, sending the Marlins to their sixth loss in seven games.I was battling my fastball tonight and just never really got into a groove, said Cashner, who is 0-4 with a 5.57 ERA since joining Miami in a seven-player trade with San Diego. It was definitely a grind out there.J.T. Realmuto went 3 for 4, including a two-run homer in the eighth, and Destin Hood singled and doubled in his major league debut for the Marlins. Martin Prado added a pair of hits.To have my family here with me to share this experience really meant a lot, said the 26-year-old Hood, released by the Indians last July. I was actually really nervous, being in a much larger stadium, but it was a special night.Cleveland took advantage of Cashners inability to find the strike zone as he walked three in the first, including Mike Napoli with the bases loaded.One of the free passes occurred when Jason Kipnis was ruled to have checked his swing on a 3-2 pitch, which Miami manager Don Mattingly disagreed with from the dugout. Emotions remained high as first base coach Perry Hill was ejected in the ninth.God forbid that we complain about a call, a still-upset Mattingly said.Cashner, scratched from his previous tturn because of a blister on his pitching hand, has made nine appearances since his last win on July 15. Brian Hoyer Jersey. He fell to 0-6 with a 6.89 ERA on the road this year.After the first, I thought Cash was really good, Mattingly said. Its just tough because he threw 35 pitches to get out of that inning, which cost him the chance to go deeper in the game.Indians right-hander Carlos Carrasco (10-7) struck out 11 and scattered six hits over 7 1/3 shutout innings. Jeff Manship allowed Realmutos eighth homer of the season, which also scored Prado, the first Marlins runner to advance past second.Christian Yelich went 0 for 4, snapping his career-long streak of three straight games with a homer.RARE APPEARANCEThe Marlins are playing their third regular-season series at Progressive Field, previously visiting in 2004 and 2012. They also defeated the Indians in the 1997 World Series. This is a beautiful ballpark, Mattingly said. Ive always loved the view, with the city in the background. It reminds me of Baltimore and Pittsburgh in that way.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: CF Marcell Ozuna (sprained left wrist) sat out his second straight game after getting hurt Wednesday while making a diving catch against the Mets.Indians: C Yan Gomes (separated right shoulder) began a rehabilitation assignment at Double-A Akron. He has been on the disabled list since July 18.UP NEXTMarlins: RHP Jose Fernandez (13-7) has the second-most strikeouts in the majors with 219.
