ST. Clearance Air Max . LOUIS -- Shelby Miller turned things around against his nemesis -- with some help from his friends. The St. Louis Cardinals right hander pitched 5 2-3 scoreless innings to lead his team to a 1-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates Friday night. That outing was in complete contrast to Millers history vs. Pittsburgh. Miller (2-2) entered the game with a 0-5 record and a 5.93 ERA against the Pirates. He allowed just three hits and four walks while striking out four. "Im excited to get a win in general" Miller said. "But, obviously, Ive struggled against Pittsburgh and theyre a tough team. Theyre lineups great and they got good starting pitching and a good offence. Theyre not easy to get out. "Thats the first one against them. Its good to get it out of the way." MIller said that he made just a few subtle changes, but they paid off. "I found some back door cutters," he said. "I ended going in a little bit more on righties and just kind of mixing it up a little differently." Pat Neshek, Kevin Siegrist, Carlos Martinez and Kevin Rosenthal followed Miller and preserved the shutout. Rosenthal struck out the side in the ninth for his seventh save in seven chances. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny wished his pitchers had some margin for error. "You kind of hate to keep doing that to these guys, having to be perfect," Matheny said. "The bullpen did a terrific job." Matt Holliday had three hits, a walk and drove in the only run with a first-inning double. Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina singled in the eighth inning to extend his hitting streak to 15 games, matching his career high set in 2007. Pirates starter Gerrit Cole (2-2) pitched seven innings and allowed a run on six hits with three walks and four strikeouts. The Pirates lost for the seventh time in nine tries. Pittsburgh has won just three of its last 12 games. "We knew there would be challenges coming into the season," said Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle. "Were getting to face our fair share of them in April. You just keep mounting up and you keep playing." St. Louis got the only run it would need in the first. Matt Carpenter led off with a bunt single down the third baseline and he went to second on Jon Jays fielders choice to first. Holliday then doubled to right, scoring Carpenter. "The guy has been playing for 15 years, he knows what hes doing," Cole said of Holliday. Pittsburgh had Miller on the ropes in the third, as singles by Cole and Jose Tabata and a walk to Neil Walker loaded the bases. But Miller got Andrew McCutchen to hit into a 6-4-3 double play to end the inning. In the eighth, Pittsburgh had runners on first and third with no one out against Martinez after pinch hitter Starling Marte was hit by a pitch and Tabata singled him to third. Martinez got Marte hung up on a fielders choice back to him for the first out. After an intentional walk to McCutchen, Martinez struck out Pedro Alvarez and Chris Stewart to end the threat. "I dont know if you can get much tougher," Matheny said. "You look at where we were in that lineup and how we got there. Hes done that a couple of times now, where hes just been able to focus in and get the job done." NOTES: Pittsburghs Francisco Liriano (0-3) will try to get in the victory column when he opposes Tyler Lyons (0-1) in the second game of the series Saturday. ... Cardinals shortstop Jhonny Peralta snapped an 0-for-22 streak with a fourth inning double. ... Pittsburgh catcher Russell Martin left the game after grounding out in the fifth with tightness in his left hamstring. ... This series is the last three games of a 26-game stretch against Central Division opponents to open the season for the Pirates. Air Max Outlet .

Cheap Authentic Air Max .Y. -- Kristen Gillman rallied to win the U. https://www.airmaxchina.us/ . - The Baltimore Ravens and tight end Dennis Pitta reached agreement on a five-year contract Friday.England must defeat a beatable South Africa to keep their World T20 hopes alive, says Sky Sports pundit Bob Willis. Eoin Morgans men succumbed to a six-wicket loss to West Indies in their Group 1 opener in Mumbai as Chris Gayle smashed an unbeaten 100 from 48 deliveries.England slipped to a 2-0 series reverse against the Proteas in South Africa earlier this year but Willis says there are fragilities that the team can exploit during Fridays clash at the same venue.South Africa are beatable in T20 cricket - they have some star batsmen, namely AB de Villiers, but their bowling is suspect and not quite what it used to be.It really is the old cliché of a must-win match as if England lose to South Africa it will be very difficult to get in the top-two places.Not only did they lose to West Indies but the West Indies net run rate is so superior, so England need to get back on the horse and register a win. Ben Stokes bowled two of Englands 10 wides in Mumbai Gayles thumping innings saw West Indies seal victory with 11 balls to spare - after England bowled 10 wides and two no balls at Wankhede Stadium.England were light on runs - just below 200 was probably par on a ground as small as that - but the most disappointing aspect for me was the control of the seam bowlers, said Willis.Chris Jordan and Ben Stokes were the main culprits, bowling too many wides and too many full tosses.They were pretty unlucky to get that amount of dew on the outfield, but 10 wides means 10 extra runs and also 10 more deliveries for the batsmen to score off. Sky Sports Nasser Hussain pays tribute to Chriis Gayle after he smashed a century off just 47 balls West Indies won with just under two overs to spare, so if you count up the wides bowled thats the difference between the two sides. Cheap Real Air Max. England need to be a lot more disciplined with their bowling - they were out-bowled by West Indies with their use of slower balls and yorkers, particularly by Dwayne Bravo.Gayle lashed 11 maximums in his knock, taking his tally in T20Is to 98 from 46 matches, seven ahead of second-placed Brendon McCullum, who bowed out from the international arena ahead of the World T20. Chris Gayle took the man of the match award as he brought up his century in just 48 balls in West Indies six wicket win over England Willis feels that with McCullum now focusing on the domestic game Gayle is arguably the most destructive short-form player in world cricket - and that his team must be classed as a threat to the World T20 title.With McCullum moving on, he is the best T20 player in the world, and he keep things so simple, added Willis.There are all those coaching manuals about moving your feet and trigger movements but there is only one movement from Gayle and then this lovely, languid swing - almost like a golfer - before the ball disappears into the stands.I think people forget how good the West Indies are at T20 cricket - they won the tournament in 2012 and half of the side spend their lives going around the world playing in the format.Watch complete coverage of the 2016 ICC World T20, live on Sky Sports.
