SANDY, Utah -- Alvaro Saborio continued his torrid scoring pace and Real Salt Lakes defence clamped down on the Houston Dynamo for a 1-0 victory Saturday night. Austin Hays Jersey . Saborio converted a penalty kick in the 37th minute for his fifth goal in three games and Nick Rimando recorded three saves for his seventh shutout of the season. Real Salt Lake improved to 12-7-5, and its 41 points are tops in Major League Soccer. "I think we were a little flat in the first half," Real Salt Lake coach Jason Kreis said. "All-in-all Im really pleased. I think we got the result in a different way tonight and I think thats important heading into the stretch, you have to feel like you can win multiple ways." Salt Lake used a 4-3-3 formation against the Dynamo (9-7-6), a departure from its typical 4-4-2 set. The result was a domination in possession -- 64 per cent in the first half -- and its first victory in four matches. Saborios goal came after teammate Olmes Garcia was taken down just inside the penalty box by Houstons Adam Moffat. Saborio beat goalkeeper Tally Hall in the lower right corner of the net for his ninth goal in 11 league matches this season. Real Salt Lakes defence was untested most of the night, thanks largely to the advantage in possession. Houston did manage to put pressure on Rimando late, with five shots in the final 10 minutes. Real Salt Lake defender Nat Borchers made a spinning takeaway against Will Bruin in the final minutes to thwart another opportunity. Houston had won three of four overall entering the match, but fell to 3-5-3 on the road. Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis took three shots, but was otherwise held in check by the back line of Borchers, Chris Wingert, Carlos Salcedo and Tony Beltran. Wholesale Orioles Jerseys .

ST. LOUIS -- Its human nature to try harder against your old team. Jedd Gyorko is taking that to extremes.Gyorko homered for the fifth straight game off San Diego pitching, connecting twice with all three RBI in a 3-2 victory that gave the St. Louis Cardinals a doubleheader sweep Wednesday night.The kind of tear hes on, not many people do something like that, manager Mike Matheny said. I know it always does make it a little sweeter when its a team youve been on before, for whatever reason.Gyorko, dealt by the Padres in the offseason for outfielder Jon Jay, is 13 for 21 (.619) against his old team with six homers and 10 RBI.

He started at third base both games of the doubleheader.Gyorko has four consecutive three-hit games against San Diego and four career multi-homer games, with both long balls in Game 2 off Paul Clemens (1-1). Hes the first Cardinal to homer in five straight games against the Padres since Albert Pujols in 2001-02.Hes their best hitter right now and either make quality pitches and get him out or walk him and make the next guy beat you, Clemens said. No harm, no foul in a walk.Gyorko hadnt been familiar with either of the starting pitchers. After the first game he did his best to downplay it all, saying he felt far from Superman.A couple good games, Gyorko said. So, hopefully just keep it going and try to stay locked in as long as I can.Carlos Martinez (9-6) was dominant after a shaky first inning and a nosebleed in the second, and the Cardinals took the opener 4-2. Gyorko, Matt Holliday and Yadier Molina homered off Colin Rea (5-4).The Cardinals, just 23-28 at home, go for a four-game sweep Thursday night with ace Adam Wainwright facing Andrew Cashner. Matheny said with a smile theres a good chance Gyorko will be in there.That team, I dont know what their record is and they might not be in first place but its a good lineup, a good team, Garcia said. To be able to get these two Ws is huge.Ryan Schimpf homered in both games for San Diego with his sixth and seventh of the season.All 11 runs in thhe twin bill scored on homers. Bob Johnson Jersey. Garcia (7-6) allowed a run in 5 2/3 innings in the second game and Seung Hwan Oh earned his fourth save in five chances, and second of the day.

Paid attendance was 40,184. Attendance was 41,012 for the finale.Martinezs nosebleed halted the opener for about 12 minutes but turned out to be just a minor issue.
