ST. Vente Chaussure Vans Pas Cher . PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Salvador Perez got the pitcher and the pitch he wanted in the seventh inning Tuesday night, and he hit a two-run home run that carried the Kansas City Royals to a 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.With the Royals down 2-1, Perez faced left-hander Xavier Cedeno with one out and Eric Hosmer on first base.Yes, I did (expect to face a right-hander). I dont why he left (Cedeno) in, but Ill take it, said Perez, who hit his 16th homer.Rays manager Kevin Cash brought in right-hander Kevin Jepsen two batters later, but it proved to be too late.Thats probably a decision that Ill lose a little sleep over tonight, for sure, Cash said.The Royals won a second straight game for the first time since the end of June, but they are still 10 games behind first-place Cleveland in the AL Central.Were just coming out here trying to do everything we can do to win each game, Perez said. Whatever happens is going to happen, and we need to focus every day, and not worry about what happened yesterday.Chris Young (3-8) got the win in relief and Kelvin Herrera pitched the ninth for his third save. The Royals also got two big strikeouts with runners on base from left-hander Matt Strahm in his second major league appearance.Strahm was called up from Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Sunday after Kansas City placed Wade Davis on the disabled list with a flexor strain.With Wade being down, its kind of audition time here now, manager Ned Yost said. Its about opportunity, man. Take advantage of it.The Rays scored twice in the fifth off starter Yordano Ventura without hitting the ball to the outfield. Logan Forsythe walked and later scored on Kevin Kiermaiers bunt single. After Brad Millers infield single, Desmond Jennings scored Kiermaier with a groundout to shortstop.Forsythe had three hits for the Rays, who left 11 on base and went 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position.Ventura pitched five innings, giving up two runs, six hits and four walks.Rays starter Matt Andriese pitched four innings in his first start since June 25, giving up one run on three hits while striking out three. Andriese returned to the rotation following Mondays trade of Matt Moore to the San Francisco Giants.Perez has 20 RBI in his last 20 games and a 14-game hitting streak against Tampa Bay, a team the Royals have beaten 12 times in their last 13 meetings. He hit a go-ahead homer in the seventh inning or later for the sixth time in his career and the third time this season.DISAPPOINTED LONGOTampa Bay slugger Evan Longoria said it was disappointing to see Moore, INF Steve Pearce and OF Brandon Guyer traded in separate deals Monday that netted SS Matt Duffy from San Francisco and five prospects.You see three guys like those three guys leave sometimes its a little tough to stomach, Longoria said. Well move forward and hopefully the guys we got in return will be the players that we expect.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: RHP Luke Hochevar had season-ending surgery to relieve thoracic outlet syndrome. The Royals expect him to be recovered by spring training. ... LHP Mike Minor, coming back from left shoulder surgery, struck out five and allowed two hits over 3 1/3 scoreless innings in his second rehab start for Triple-A Omaha.Rays: OF Mikie Mahtook (fractured left hand) went 1 for 3 with a walk in his first rehab game with the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Rays. ... Touted shortstop prospect Daniel Robertson has been placed on the disabled list with Triple-A Durham.UP NEXTEdinson Volquez (8-9) will make his team-leading 23rd start for the Royals on Wednesday night against Jake Odorizzi (5-5), who is working on a steak of 14 2/3 scoreless innings for the Rays. Achat Vans Pas Cher . On June 12, just as the sun sets on the magnificent historical city of Sao Paulo the inventors, innovators and purveyors of “joga bonitowill” open their campaign. The opponent, Croatia and all its football might and will. As opposites do attract we are set for a corker of an opener. Chaussures Vans Authentic Soldes . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. http://www.paschervans.fr/ . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football. INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck is tired of talking about the Indianapolis Colts sluggish starts. Its time to fix it.At training camp, coach Chuck Pagano changed the practice routine to emphasize the need to be ready from the moment they hit the field, to play faster and to get more physical. On Sunday, the Colts will find out if theyve found a solution.Coach has done a great job of getting us to start aggressive and physical in practice, Luck said. Guys have taken it upon themselves to make sure we are ready to go in practice, and we have to translate it into the game.Perhaps nobody is more eager for the season opener against Detroit to arrive. Luck struggled early last season, then missed the last seven games with a lacerated kidney. He hasnt made a regular-season start since Nov. 8.Luck was only part of the problem, though.Eight times last season, the Colts trailed at halftime. Five times, the Colts failed to score a touchdown in the first two quarters. And three times, they went to the locker room with no points on the board.Not surprisingly, they opened a second straight season at 0-2.That was nothing compared to the Lions plight.In the midst of an awful start, Detroit changed offensive coordinators. After falling to 1-7, the Lions fired general manager Martin Mayhew and president Tom Lewand.Yet somehow, coach Jim Caldwell righted the ship, leading Detroit to a 6-2 finish that produced hope brighter days were still to come. The next step is getting an opening-day win on the road.You want to start the season fast, you want to start the game fast, especially on the road. This year is no different, quarterback Matthew Stafford said. Its obviously a unique challenge, going and playing a good football team at their place. Got to go and start the season off the right way.Stafford and Luck have plenty in common. Both were Texas high school stars who attended out-of-state colleges. Both were taken No. 1 overall in the NFL draft. Both are former Pro Bowlers, who have battled injuries, and now are after the same goal Sunday -- start this season fast.The stuff you can control -- the penalties, the sins as you call it, the dont dos. You have to be clean in that regard to give yourself a chance to execute, Luck said, noting the goal is always to score 50 or 60 poinnts a game. Chaussure Vans Pas Cher. We just have to go out and try to beat a good Detroit team.Here are some other things to watch for Sunday:DEFENSIVE CHALLENGE: The Colts maligned defense knows it must improve. But team owner Jim Irsay doesnt expect a lot in September because of missing pieces. Starting defensive linemen Henry Anderson (recovering from torn ACL) and Art Jones (suspension) wont play Sunday. Pagano remains hopeful defensive end Kendall Langford (knee surgery) will extend his streak of consecutive games to 129. Pro Bowl cornerback Vontae Davis (ankle) probably will sit out, though the other starting cornerback, Patrick Robinson (groin), may play.NEW LOOK: After Jim Bob Cooter took over as offensive coordinator in November, he used the offseason to install his full system with the input of Stafford. The full unveiling comes Sunday. Its not just the Lions who have made changes, though. Stafford has already detected defenses playing less exotic schemes with the retired Calvin Johnson not around. Stafford said during the preseason the Lions faced more traditional defenses.CALDWELLS RETURN: Since Caldwell was fired by the Colts in January 2012, he has visited Indy several times for the NFLs annual scouting combine. But he hasnt worked a game at Lucas Oil Stadium, and the usually low-key Caldwell acknowledged this time will be different.It is going to be unique coming into the stadium to play the ballgame, he said. It is going to be fun.Caldwell went 14-2 in 2009, leading the Colts to the Super Bowl in his first season as coach. He also was an assistant with the Colts in 2006 when they won the Super Bowl.PATRIOTIC START: The Colts will hand out 60,000 American flags and will honor the 9/11 anniversary by paying tribute to first responders. Eleven first responders will run onto the field during player introductions, and another 200 will hold an American flag that stretches the length of the field as Indianapolis police officer Christopher Wilburn sings the national anthem. At halftime, the Colts will celebrate Indiana athletes who competed in the Rio Olympics.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
