OAKLAND, Calif.jerseys cheap nfl. -- BrandonMcCarthy just wanted to give the Athletics bullpen a rest. The right-hander did far more than that, turning in the best performance by an Oakland starter in more than a month. McCarthy carried a shutout into the eighth inning then settled for a combined seven-hitter, and the Athletics got another solid game from hot-hitting CliffPennington while beating the Tampa Bay Rays 6-1 on Tuesday night. "Thats as good as Ive seen (McCarthy)," As manager Bob Melvin said. "Ball down in the zone, good movement on everything. To be able to go that deep -- obviously he was economical on top of that -- it was a terrific performance." McCarthy hadnt made it out of the sixth inning in his previous three starts and was knocked around by Detroit in his most recent outing on July 20. The lanky right-hander, who missed more than six weeks while on the disabled list with a stress reaction in his right scapula, rebounded nicely against Tampa Bay. McCarthy (3-5) pitched with runners on base in each of the first six innings but worked out of trouble each time to win for only the second time in his last 12 starts. "A couple I left elevated they hit hard but for the most part I felt like I was able to keep it down a little better than I have recently, so it didnt hurt anything," McCarthy said. "Since Ive come back I havent really gotten as deep into games as I would like so that was kind of a priority tonight. I wanted to make sure I got as deep as I could." It was the best outing by an Oakland starter since All-Star GioGonzalez allowed one hit over eight innings in a 1-0 win over Florida on June 28. Pennington had three hits to remain the hottest hitter in the major leagues since the All-Star break, ConorJackson went 3 for 4 and HidekiMatsui added an RBI double as Oakland won for the third time in four games. The As are 7-4 since the break. BenZobrist homered and JohnnyDamon hit his 506th double to tie Babe Ruth for 47th on baseballs all-time list but the Rays continued to struggle with men on base and lost for the 10th time in 14 games. "Thats been one of our biggest drawbacks this season," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "It hasnt been one of the strong points. We just have been very inconsistent on offence. Thats where we are coming up a little short right now." Pennington singled twice and had an RBI double in the sixth, extending his career-high hitting streak to 10 games. He raised his average to .500 (18 for 36) since the All-Star break. Thats been a big factor in the As recent success. Oakland has scored four or more runs in each of its last six games -- the clubs longest such streak of the season. McCarthy, who struck out three and walked two, lost his shutout bid with one out in the seventh when Zobrist homered for the second straight game, but retired the next two batters. GrantBalfour pitched the ninth to complete the seven-hitter. Tampa Bay starter DavidPrice (9-9) allowed four runs over six innings and walked four -- two of which scored. The left-hander is 1-3 with two no-decisions over his last six starts. ScottSizemore scored on JemileWeeks sacrifice fly in the third, while DavidDeJesus drove in JoshWillingham with a sacrifice fly against Price in the fourth. Pennington made it 3-0 when he singled leading off the fifth and scored on Matsuis double to right-centre, then doubled in Sizemore in the sixth. "Youre seeing a confident player whos being very productive at this point," Melvin said. KurtSuzuki added a two-run double in the eighth. The Rays stranded eight runners and are 1 for 20 with runners in scoring position during the first two games of this four-game series. Zobrist walked his first two at-bats and flied out to right before homering in the eighth. It was the fourth home run allowed by McCarthy this season. Notes: Zobrist leads the majors with 51 extra-base hits. ... It was the 704th consecutive game Tampa Bay has started a pitcher younger than 30 years old, tying a major league record set by the Washington Senators from, 1913-17. The Rays will break the mark Wednesday when 29-year-old JamesShields takes the mound. ... Tampa Bay optioned LHP CesarRamos to Triple-A Durham and recalled RHP JayBuente. Buente relieved Price in the seventh. ... Matsui started in left field for a second straight game while Willingham rested his sore neck. Willingham, who received a cortisone shot after Monday nights game, was the DH. ... Sizemore tied career-highs with three walks and three runs. ... Tampa Bays B.J.Upton is in a 3-for-38 slump.cheap jerseys from china. The result was a game-winning, power-play goal. Chiasson snapped a third-period tie and lifted the Dallas Stars to a 3-2 victory on Monday night.jerseys from china. Algeria enters the match riding a wave of unexpected confidence after pummeling South Korea, 4-2, in Porto Alegre on Sunday. The Desert Foxes opened the scoring after 26 minutes as Carl Medjani sent a long ball over the top to the feet of striker Islam Slimani, who did well to split two South Korean defenders and touch it past goalkeeper Jung Sung-Ryong.Belo Horizonte, Brazil (SportsNetwork.com) - Brazil is one win away from reaching the World Cup final at the Maracana on Sunday, but the hosts will have to overcome a stern test from Germany in the semifinals on Tuesday at the Estadio Mineirao. You can catch all of the action live on TSN 1050, TSN 690, TSN 1200, TSN 1260 and TEAM 1410. Much of the focus surrounding this match has centered on how Brazil will cope without two of its most important players against the Germans as both Neymar and Thiago Silva will take no part in Tuesdays showdown. Silva, Brazils captain and one of the best defenders in the world, will miss the game through suspension because of an accumulation of yellow cards after he was booked in the second half of Brazils 2-1 quarterfinal victory over Colombia. Neymar has been one of the faces of this World Cup and head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari must now find a way to replace the four goals and one assist that the 22-year-old tallied in helping his side reach the last four. The Barcelona star was ruled out for the rest of the tournament after suffering a fractured vertebra in a collision with Colombias Juan Zuniga, and he will likely be replaced by Willian in Scolaris starting lineup on Tuesday. Brazil has been very reliant on Neymar at times during this tournament, but Willian believes that despite the absence of his superstar teammate, his side is even stronger because of the adversity the team now faces. "Neymar sets the standard for us. He is capable of deciding any game, so playing without him will be difficult," Willian said. "We know the quality that we have. We are all very sad at losing him but we are now even stronger after what happened and we can continue to pursue our dream." Scolari is likely to replace Silva with Bayern Munich defender Dante, a man who knows his German opposition very well. Dantes knowledge of Germany could prove to be important, but as Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger pointed out, that understanding of the opponent cuts both ways. "I hope he starts, we know him very well and know his strengths and weaknesses, but he also knowss how we play," said Schweinsteiger, who is a teammate of Dante at Bayern.wholesale jerseys. Brazil is receiving much of the attention ahead of this semifinal, while Germany has quietly gone about its business and will be making a record fourth straight appearance in the last four at a World Cup. Germany coasted through Group G to reach the knockout round, but Joachim Lows team had a much more difficult time with Algeria than expected in the round of 16, needing extra time to dispatch the Desert Foxes, 2-1. The Germans were much more clinical in knocking off France, 1-0, in the quarterfinals, and Lows men will no doubt be full of confidence ahead of the showdown with Brazil. These two heavyweights last met in the 2002 World Cup final, with Brazil emerging as 2-0 victors to claim a record fifth Jules Rimet trophy. But Schweinsteiger feels as though this is a much different Brazil side than the one that most people have become accustomed to, and that his German teammates should expect a physical game. "The Brazilians here arent the magicians of old, the team has changed and so has their playing style," said Schweinsteiger. "Hard challenges are definitely a part of their game, its something we have to be careful of and the referee too." This Brazil side has certainly not resembled the great Brazil teams of old, which played with a creativity and flair that hasnt been exhibited by this edition of the Selecao. However, that certainly doesnt mean that Scolaris men pose less of a threat to the Germans, even without Neymar and Silva. Playing the host nation at this stage of the World Cup is a difficult task, and Germany knows all too well what it feels like to go out at this point in the tournament. German captain Philipp Lahm was a member of the last two World Cup teams for Germany, both of which lost in the semifinals. The thought of losing in the last four for a third successive World Cup and playing in another third-place match is a thought that the defender isnt interested in entertaining. "I really do not need that, thats something I want to rule out," Lahm said.wholesale nfl jerseyswholesale jerseys' ' '
