PITTSBURGH -- Yovani Gallardo was pitching so well he
just needed one run to get a win. His catcher got him all
the support he needed, with some help from an eager fan.
Gallardo pitched seven crisp innings, Jonathan Lucroy
doubled and scored on Aramis Ramirezs groundout, and the
Milwaukee Brewers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 1-0 on
Sunday. "Yo was outstanding," Brewers manager Ron
Roenicke said. "Just hung in there and made some great
pitches, got better as the game went on." Gallardo (4-4)
had a season-high eight strikeouts in his second win in
his last three starts. He allowed four hits and walked
one. The Pirates had at least one baserunner in five of
Gallardos seven innings, but the right-hander got sharper
as the game progressed. "I was able to get out of some
big situations and make pitches," Gallardo said. "Thats
always something positive to go from." Jeff Locke also
pitched seven solid innings in a spot start for the
Pirates. Locke was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to
start in place of Charlie Morton, who was pushed back a
day to Monday. Pittsburgh also put right-hander Gerrit
Cole on the 15-day disabled list with shoulder fatigue.
Locke (0-1) struck out five and walked one in his second
start of the season. The left-hander, who made the All-
Star team last season, allowed six runs and eight hits in
5 1-3 innings against San Francisco on May 5. "He gave us
everything we could have asked for him to give us today,"
manager Clint Hurdle said. "And more." Locke said he
benefited from being "on the same page" with catcher
Russell Martin. "We just knew I was going to pitch my
game," he said. "He just put down the right fingers and
moved the ball around a little bit." Lucroy sparked the
only scoring sequence of the game when he led off the
seventh with a liner down the left-field line that was
grabbed by a fan while it was in play. Lucroy was awarded
a ground-rule double on the interference. Lucroy went to
second on Carlos Gomezs lineout to centre and scored on
Ramirezs bouncer to first. The Pirates then loaded the
bases with one out in the bottom half. But Gallardo
struck out pinch-hitter Jose Tabata and Josh Harrison
popped out to second to end the inning. Pittsburgh left
10 runners on base in its 10th loss in 13 games this
season against NL Central-leading Milwaukee. Martin and
Hurdle also were ejected in the eighth. With two out and
Andrew McCutchen on third, Martin looked a called third
strike on a curveball from Francisco Rodriguez on the
lower-inside edge of the plate. Martin spiked his bat and
helmet in the batters box. Hurdle then confronted umpire
Ed Hickox about the call and was thrown out. Roenicke
said he thought the pitch looked questionable based on
the way his catcher reacted to it. "(Lucroy) made that
pitch look a little not-as-good-as it probably was,"
Roenicke said. "Just because he was maybe in between
trying to block or decide where the ball was going to end
up." Lucroy said he did not think the pitch was a strike.
The Pirates then put runners on first and second in the
ninth, but Rodriguez got Travis Snider to hit into a
fielders choice that advanced Starling Marte to third and
retired Harrison for his 19th save. "I ended up making
the right pitches to get out of (the jam)," Rodriguez
said. "So its definitely a nice win." NOTES: Lucroy had
three hits and improved his batting average to .335,
third-best in the National League. ... Morton (2-7, 3.31
ERA) got an extra day of rest and will pitch against
Chicago on Monday. ... Milwaukee RHP Marco Estrada (5-2,
4.19 ERA) starts when the Brewers begin a three-game
series with the Mets on Tuesday.

Fellaini Jersey . And all things considered, the
first 40 games have offered a little bit of everything
from a hockey club that faced many questions in its first
year under new management, with a new head coach and with
a number of new faces in the lineup. However, with a
recent dip in scoring, it seems some of the same old
questions persist and several new ones have been raised
after a somewhat troubling homestand.

MacArthur scored two goals, and the Senators outlasted
Detroit in a testy third period to beat the Red Wings 4-2
on Saturday night.Got a question on rule clarification,
comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL
stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at
cmonref@tsn.ca. Kerry, Thanks to you and TSN for
providing us NHL fans with this fabulous column! Now - I
was hoping you could comment on the Chris Kreider net
crash on Carey Price in Game 1. Initially, everyone
(including Michel Therrien and Brandon Prust) labeled it
as a hockey play with an unfortunate outcome. Days later,
they began laying blame once Prices availability was
lost. Now Im NOT asking whether the refs erred on the
call. Im simply interested on your call or take on the
incident. If you were still working in the NHL, how would
you have called it? CMon Ref! (corny, but couldnt resist
- LOL). Thanks,TerekWhistler, BC Terek: Injuries are an
unfortunate byproduct of the job and a risk that every
player willingly assumes. When an injury is sustained,
its not only very disappointing for the player to deal
with but when it involves a key player such as Carey
Price, the loss can also devastating to the fortunes of a
team. You dont replace a player like Price and his
absence will surely test the mettle of his Montreal
teammates left standing with their best player out of the
lineup. The Hab continent has a huge obstacle to overcome
in finding a way to beat this hungry and confident NY
Rangers team tonight in Madison Square Garden. For that
to happen, PK Subban and company will first have to
penetrate a wall in the form of Hendrik Lundqvist a mere
178 feet from their goal crease guarded by littlee know
Dustin Tokarski.dddddddddddd With the man they the King
poised between the pipes the Rangers net probably looks
more like 178 miles away. Michel Terrien and Brandon
Prusts initial assessment of the play was correct in that
it was a hockey play. There was no deliberation on the
part of Chris Kreider to initiate contact with Price as
the Rangers speedster went hard to the net to make a play
and then lost his balance following a chop to his right
ankle by Alexei Emelin. In the post-game press conference
Coach Therrien said he thought the play was "accidental,
honestly," and Kreider said he "just had too much
momentum and couldnt really avoid him. It didnt feel too
good for me either."Terek, I would have ruled the play on
the ice no differently than I did from my couch and
deemed the contact by Chris Kreider on Carey Price as
completely accidental. It would appear that I could count
on agreement of this decision from referee Steve Kozari,
Michel Terrien, Brandon Prust and Chris Kreider at the
very least. It was a very unfortunate accident and injury
sustained by Carey Price. Prices Montreal Canadien
teammates will have dig deep tonight and stick with a
game plan of speed and high tempo energy from the opening
puck drop to take the Garden crowd out of the game and
shift the momentum in their favor. Dustin Tokarski will
have to give them a chance to win. It is then up to the
Habs skaters grit, guts, determination and skill to find
a way to penetrate King Hendriks Court 178 feet away.
