. With Barcelona on 71 points after its 2-0 win against Osasuna on Wednesday, Madrid needed a win to go top on goal difference and it delivered a stunning first-half performance. Victor Cruz JerseyKansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Alex Gordon drove in four runs and Gil Meche tossed seven superb innings, as the Kansas City Royals remained red-hot with a 7-2 win over the I-70 rival St. Ndamukong Suh Womens Jersey . Louis Cardinals, in the opener of a three-game interleague set at Kauffman Stadium. Gordon homered and doubled, while David DeJesus was 3-for-5 with two RBI for Kansas City, which has won six straight and 11 of its last 12 games, all against the National League. That includes a three-game sweep of the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, June 17-19. Meche (6-8) was masterful, allowing only six hits, including Troy Glaus lead- off homer in the seventh. Meche walked one and had two strikeouts to win his third consecutive start. Joel Pineiro (2-4) took the loss, surrendering all seven runs on 10 hits through 7 2/3 frames to remain winless since April 29. "He got deep into the game, but he made a couple of mistakes," Cards manager Tony LaRussa said of Pineiro. "Two of them to the third baseman for four runs. So you compliment him for staying after it and almost completing the game, but those early mistakes gave them a lot of momentum." Glaus was 3-for-4, knocking in both Cardinal runs, but St. Louis dropped its third in a row. Kansas City jumped in front with a four-spot in the second. John Buck lined a one-out double to left and Ross Gload ripped a single to left. Joey Gathright hit a slow roller to short for an infield single scoring Buck. DeJesus then loaded them up with a single and Gordon plated two with a line double to right. "In the first at-bat (a walk), I think he threw me all changeups," Gordon said of facing Pineiro before doubling in two runs in the second. "So in the second at-bat, he threw changeups to start and when I got two strikes, I was kind of sitting on that. He left one up and I was able to hook it down the line." Gordon extended the Royals lead in the fifth with a leadoff home run over the center field wall. Glaus put the Cardinals on the board with a leadoff homer in the seventh to center. Ron Mahay came on for Meche in the eighth. Ryan Ludwick lined a one-out single to left and moved to second when Albert Pujols worked a walk. After a Rick Ankiel fly out, Glaus lined a single to center scoring Ludwick. Ramon Ramirez entered to retire pinch-hitter Nick Stavinoha on strikes to end the inning. Kansas City helped assure a victory with two runs in the home half. Mark Teahen laced a one-out double to left, Gload worked a two-out walk and Gathright singled to load the bases and end Pineiros night. Ron Villone entered and allowed a two-run double to left from DeJesus to make it 7-2. Game Notes The Cardinals activated Mark Mulder from the 15-day disabled list on Friday. The left-handed Mulder, who is trying to work his way back from two injury- plagued seasons, will initially work out of the bullpen. The Cardinals optioned pitcher Mike Parisi to Triple-A Memphis..The two clubs split six games last season..Saturdays scheduled starters are Kyle Davies (3-0) for Kansas City and Mitchell Boggs (2-0) for St. Louis..The Royals are tied with the Twins at 13-3 versus the AL this year. Malcolm Jenkins Jersey . 23-26 - World Hockey Summit, Toronto. Aaron Rodgers Youth Jersey .

The shuffle puts the entire player development department under the direction of assistant GM Tony LaCava, a holdover from the J.P. Ricciardi regime who becomes essentially the No. 2 man under Anthopoulos. Authentic Jahvid Best Jersey . With Roy Halladay on the mound, Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel didnt flinch. Halladay got out of the seventh inning jam by striking out Jayson Werth and beat the Washington Nationals for the 10th straight time, with some help from Ryan Howard and Raul Ibanez. Authentic Randall Cobb Jersey .

TAMPA, Fla. - Boston and Tampa Bay have played a pair of surprisingly high scoring games and the trend might continue the way the Eastern Conference final is going. The series is tied 1-1 and the teams have combined for 18 goals. That kind of offence seemed unlikely heading into the matchup with the top two playoff goalies this season: the Lightnings Dwayne Roloson and the Bruins Tim Thomas. Both allowed an average of two goals a game through the opening two playoff rounds. Theyre all-star players, and theyre players that are top-notch players in the league, Roloson said on Wednesday. The guys we have on our team and the guys they have on their team, theres going to be times when you cant contain them. Theyre gifted players, so theyre going to take advantage of the chances that they get. Lightning centre Steven Stamkos agrees. You got two teams that know how to score goals, he said. I think both teams would agree that it was, some of the goals youd like to have back as a team, and by no means was there really any fault on the goaltenders. A lot of goals are being scored, but a lot of them are either coming up off lucky bounces or breakdowns in the defensive end that are leading to pretty good scoring chances. Still, Roloson made a number of outstanding saves during Tampa Bays Game 1 victory, while Thomas came up big late in Bostons 6-5 win in the second game on Tuesday night. I saw him in the third, the last five, six minutes we had a lot of grade-A chances, Lightning captain Vincent Lecavalier said of Thomas. He gave them the win there the last five minutes. We really felt we would tie it up, and we were getting our chances, but he made some huge saves. Game 3 is Thursday night in Tampa and if scoring continues to come from unexpected players the big numbers will continue. Boston roookie Tyler Seguin has three goals and three assists in the series. Authentic Michael Turner Jersey. The No. 2 pick in last years draft didnt play in Bostons first two series, and rejoined the lineup only because Patrice Bergeron was out because of a mild concussion. Obviously hes a young kid playing in the NHL, and if he wasnt good enough or capable of playing here, he wouldnt be here, Roloson said. Hes got great skill. Hes capitalized on the chances he had. Bergeron, a top faceoff man, has resumed practising. The centre had two goals and 10 assists in 11 post-season games this season before getting hurt during the conference semifinals. Im sure hes going to play the next game, Tampa Bay coach Guy Boucher said. Bergeron will take part in Thursdays pre-game skate, at which time his playing status will be re-evaluated. I cant tell you right now whether he is in or not, and thats being honest, but hes certainly inching closer to making a return as long as there are no setbacks, Bruins coach Claude Julien said. But all I can tell you is that we can probably make a decision on whether he is going to be OK to go or not. Third-line winger Sean Bergenheim has eight goals in 13 playoff games, and began a stretch of three Tampa Bay goals in 85 seconds in the first period of the Lightnings 5-2 opening-game victory. I think from our perspective, were happy that weve scored five goals in both games, Stamkos said. But theres no way its acceptable to allow six (Tuesday), and we need to find a way to address that. Notes: Boucher doesnt expect Pavel Kubina (undisclosed upper-body injury) to play in Game 3, but said the defenceman is making progress. Kubina hasnt played since the first game of the Washington series when his head went into the glass on a hit. ... Julien said Seguin will be in Thursdays lineup whether or not Bergeron returns. ' ' '
