LOS ANGELES -- Michael Cuddyer tuned up for his first Home Run Derby with a two-run shot, the kind of boost that hes been giving Colorado in the first half of the season. China Wholesale Shoes Nike Air Max . Cuddyer also drove in another run to help the Rockies defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 Sunday in the teams last game before the All-Star break. The right fielder made his second All-Star team as an NL reserve, and will compete in the Home Run Derby on Monday. He had a career-best and club-record 27-game hitting streak from May 28-June 30, going .372 with 19 RBIs, six homers and 17 runs scored. "I hope I bring a lot to the table," Cuddyer said. "The whole first half individually was a lot of fun, and the fact that were still in it made it even better." The clubs split their four-game series, leaving Colorado with a 46-50 record. The Rockies are in third place in the NL West, 4 1/2 games back of first-place Arizona. "Were healthy again, and weve weathered this last road trip, so I think that weve got some momentum going into the second half," said Cuddyer, who snapped an 0-for-7 skid that included four strikeouts in two previous games in the series. His 16th home run with two outs in the fifth extended Colorados lead to 3-0. DJ LeMahieu grounded out to start the inning before Carlos Gonzalez got hit by a pitch from Ricky Nolasco and Troy Tulowitzki popped up. Cuddyer homered into the right-field pavilion. He had an RBI single with two outs in the first for Colorados first run. "We held the Dodgers to just two runs in the last three games, and thats a team thats been going better than anybody in the game," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "So its a big win and a nice way to end the first half." Jhoulys Chacin (9-4) allowed one run and six hits in six innings, struck out six and walked three to win for the sixth time in his last seven starts. The right-hander improved to 8-5 in his career against the Dodgers, his most wins against any one team. "It was a very impressive outing by Jhoulys," Weiss said. "In the sixth inning when they had runners at first and second, I just went out there to tell him This is your game. If you get through this inning, we win the game. And thats exactly what he did." Chacins nine victories at the break are the most for a Rockies pitcher since Ubaldo Jimenezs 15-1 record in the first half of 2010. Chacin succeeded at the plate, too, going 2 for 2 with a walk. "Before I was just trying to just throw it hard," he said, "but now Im just trying to make my pitch, get them to hit it and get themselves out and get out of the inning with the least amount of damage." Rafael Betancourt pitched the ninth to earn his 15th save in 16 chances. "The Dodgers had been on a real offensive tear prior to this series, so it was nice to see our pitchers be pretty successful against them," Tulowitzki said. "Thats what its going to take if were going to make any noise in the second half. Its going to be a big factor. The pitchings got to be good, and they were this series, thats for sure." The Dodgers fell back to .500 at 47-47 after winning 17 of their last 22 games to climb into second place, 2 1/2 games back. Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig wasnt in the starting lineup, but he entered as a pinch-hitter in the fifth. He singled and then scored on Adrian Gonzalezs single with two outs. "Were in position and kind of have it in our hands," manager Don Mattingly said. Nolasco (6-9) gave up three runs and eight hits over five innings of his home debut with the Dodgers. The right-hander struck out four and walked three while pitching in front of a large contingent of family and friends from his nearby hometown of Rialto. "It was a little bit of a battle," Nolasco said. "Just had a little bit of control issues. Wish I could have that one pitch to Cuddyer back."

Their first game of the season couldnt have been much easier. Quarterback Darian Durant passed for three touchdowns as the Roughriders started off the CFL season in fine form, blasting the hapless Edmonton Eskimos 39-18 on Saturday afternoon. Saskatchewan is off to a 1-0 start in its quest to appear in the 101st Grey Cup in Regina. "We did some good things, a lot of good things," said Roughriders head coach Corey Chamblin. "We played well and we won, but we didnt play well for all four quarters and thats something we can still work on. We want to win all four quarters each and every game. We got our goal, which is to win on the road. Now we have to make sure we win all four quarters consistently on the road." Riders linebacker Renauld Williams also tried to keep the victory in perspective. "Its one game," said Williams, who closed out the first half with an interception return TD, his first since 2008. "We just want to get better play by play and week by week. Its a great start though. Especially on the road and especially in Edmonton because we have a history here." The Roughriders have not had much success at Edmontons Commonwealth Stadium over the years. Saskatchewan came into the game with just a 9-40 regular season record, including a six-game losing streak extending back to September 2009. The Eskimos, meanwhile, lost their first season-opener in three years under head coach Kavis Reed. "We did not execute very well," Reed said. "Penalties were our nemesis today. We did not tackle as well as we wanted. We lost the game in all three phases. "There are a lot of things that we have to look at. There are a lot of things we have to evaluate from top to bottom to make certain we get better." Saskatchewan scored five minutes in to the games opening drive as Kory Sheets took a handoff from Durant and scampered 19 yards for the touchdown and an early 7-0 lead. The Eskimos took a string of penalties that allowed the Riders to march downfield and make it 14-0, as Durant hit Taj Smith for a 13-yard TD pass with a minute to play in the opening quarter. Saskatchewan added a punt single before Edmonton came back with a single point of their own on a missed field goal. The botched kick came shortly after the Eskimos finally had good field possession thanks to a 46-yard passing play to Fred Stamps. The Eskimos disastrous opening half concluded with an extremely poor play. Edmonton found itself deep in its own end with time expired and quarterbback Mike Reilly opted to pass instead of going down on a broken play. Cheap Wholesale Air Max Shoes. Williams picked off the pass and ran it 19 yards into the end zone to put the Roughriders up 22-1 at half. "I think that was just a bad decision by their quarterback," Williams said. "Hell learn. He should have thrown the ball away. Even if he had completed it, you are probably not going to score. I was thinking Hes not going to throw this, but he threw it. Opportunities like that dont arise very often and you have to make the play when it is there like that. "He just has to make a better decision on that one." The Eskimos left the field at the half to a chorus of boos from their hometown fans. The Roughriders continued their assault to start the third quarter as a 36-yard passing play set up a three-yard TD toss from Durant to Chris Getzlaf to make it 29-1. Edmonton returner John White fumbled the ensuing kickoff at his own 30 and Sam Hurl was there to pounce on it. The latest in a series of Eskimos miscues set up a four-yard TD pass to Scott McHenry just over a minute after their first major of the half. The Eskimos finally got some earned points on the board when Grant Shaw kicked a 40-yard field goal to make it 36-4. Saskatchewan also conceded a safety to make it 36-6 at the end of the third. The Riders added a field goal before Edmonton saved a little face with a touchdown midway through the fourth as Stamps made a leaping catch for a 19-yard major to make it 39-12 after the missed two-point convert. Shaw added a pair of field goals in the final two minutes for the Eskimos. The Riders return home to face the Calgary Stampeders on Friday.
