NEW YORK -- Giancarlo Stanton was not one of the four Miami Marlins selected to the National League All-Star team Tuesday. Vapormax UK From China . But the two prodigious home runs he hit to single-handedly lift the Marlins to a 5-2 win over the New York Mets proved he is still a player who can carry his team during a pennant chase.Stanton, whose two-run homer in the seventh and three-run homer in the eighth accounted for all of the Marlins runs, matching his career high with five RBI, will attempt to build off his first two-homer game of the season when the Mets host Miami on Wednesday afternoon in the finale of a three-game series at Citi Field.Im coming back, coming back, Stanton said with a grin after lifting his average to .226. He has 17 homers and 45 RBI in 72 games.Its a long road from here. Thats why you dont worry about where youre at on the season stats. Just keep plugging away. Keep trying to win each day and know that by the end of the year, itll pan out.A productive Stanton can only help the Marlins make a push for their first playoff berth since 2003. Miami (44-40) is 1 1/2 games behind the Mets (45-38) in the race for the National Leagues second wild card.As rough as its looked at times, (he) still has a chance to (have) one of those 40 (homer) and 100 (RBI seasons), Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. You feel like hes going to be there. If he gets hot at all, its going to be a big boost for us.While the Marlins have a known quantity in the former National League home run champion Stanton, the Mets will be looking for a spark Wednesday from Jose Reyes, who went 0-for-4 Tuesday in his first game back with his original major league club.Reyes, who was named to four All-Star Games as the Mets shortstop from 2003 through 2011, made his first career start at third base Tuesday and is expected to play there regularly the remainder of the season. He signed with the Mets June 25, hours after being released by the Colorado Rockies following the completion of his 51-game suspension for a domestic violence incident involving his wife last Halloween.This team, we went to the World Series last year, Reyes said. Weve got a good opportunity to go to the playoffs this year. This is the situation I was looking for for a long time.Reyes will bat leadoff whenever he is in the lineup for the Mets, who will be looking Wednesday to regain the offensive form they enjoyed in outscoring the Cubs and Marlins 40-17 during a five-game winning streak that ended Tuesday.Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom is scheduled to oppose Marlins left-hander Justin Nicolino. DeGrom is 3-1 with a 2.80 ERA in seven career starts against the Marlins while Nicolino is 0-0 with a 3.97 ERA in two career starts against the Mets. Cheap Vapormax UK Fast Shipping .

Its an influence in football and a big part of the game. http://www.clearancevapormaxuk.com/ .Y. -- Canadas Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse have another World Cup gold medal after winning the two-women bobsled race on Saturday in Lake Placid, N. CHICAGO -- Three days after he saved the National League Division Series, Clayton Kershaw will get his first look at the National League Championship Series when he starts for the Dodgers in Game 2 on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs.When last seen, Kershaw was getting the final two outs of the winner-take-all Game 5 of the NLDS at Washington. He threw just seven pitches, two days after throwing 110 in a Dodgers victory, and said the brief outing was more like a between-start bullpen ... sort of.Number of pitches wise, its pretty much the same, Kershaw said Saturday. The intensity might have been just a hair different.That is Kershaw at his sarcastic best, of course. He said he had fun with the rush of energy that came with closing out a series clincher, but is trying to distance himself from the memory quickly with the heavily favored Cubs up next.Kershaw feels that nobody remembers who finishes second, suggesting that his NLDS heroics will resonate more if he leads the Dodgers to a World Series title.In the Cubs, he will face a team he did not pitch against in the regular season, but one he knows well. He was the only Dodgers starter who did not pitch in the teams four-game series at Wrigley Field in the first half, and was on the disabled list when the Cubs came to Los Angeles in late August.He knows all about the Cubs offensive acumen, though, and was poring over scouting reports Friday evening, even before he was officially named the Game 2 starter. Wholesale Nike Shoes UK. The Cubs lineup is pretty solid, obviously, Kershaw said. They have some guys in there that had some pretty amazing seasons. They are the best team in baseball for a reason.I think the one thing that stands out with their offense is the on-base percentages of those guys. They are constantly working counts, getting into good hitters counts, getting on base. And that is something that is difficult for a starting pitcher.Kershaw started two games of the NLDS, in addition to his appearance in relief in Game 5. The three-time Cy Young Award winner did not earn a decision in any NLDS game, but the Dodgers won all three games in which he appeared.Kershaw will follow Kenta Maeda, who lasted four innings and gave up three earned runs in the 8-4 loss in Game 1.?The Dodgers also announced Saturday that left-hander Rich Hill will start in Game 3 when the series shifts to Dodger Stadium. Hill started Games 2 and 5 of the NLDS, giving up five runs on nine hits over seven combined innings.A potential starter for Game 4 could be 20-year-old rookie Julio Urias, who became the youngest Dodgers pitcher to ever appear in a postseason game when he made a relief appearance in Game 5 of the NLDS.
