CARSON, Calif. Emmitt Smith Cowboys Jersey . – Miller
Bolanos scored his first MLS goal to lift Chivas USA to a 1-0 victory over
Portland on Wednesday. The 1 p.m. PDT kickoff was a first; the club had no such
weekday start times in its eight-year history. Bolanos goal was just the 12th
Chivas has scored in 18 games. It came at an opportune time against an opponent
nearly even in the Western Conference standings. Chivas (6-7-5) now sits four
points in front of Portland. In the 16th minute, Ryan Smith dribbled past
Portlands Steven Smith and held off defender Mamadou Danso before sending a ball
across the goal area. Goalkeeper Troy Perkins dived but only got a hand to it.
Bolanos finished into an empty net. Bolanos, 22, played in just nine of the
clubs previous 17 games. The Timbers (5-10-4) continued their road futility.
Portland has been shut out seven times in nine road matches, having last scored
a road goal on April 14. Since joining MLS in 2011, the Timbers have yet to
score more than one goal in any road match, a span of 26 games. Jason Witten Elite Jersey . It boils down to
a risk assessment of the five cities in contention—Istanbul, Madrid, Tokyo,
Doha and Baku, Azerbaijan. The IOC executive board likely will reduce the field
to three, possibly four, finalists. Tokyo, Istanbul and Madrid look certain to
make the cut, with Baku a longshot and Doha the big question mark. All five
contenders are previous bidders: Madrid is back for a third consecutive time,
Tokyo a second time in a row and Istanbul a fifth time overall; Doha and Baku
both failed to make the shortlist last time for the 2016 Games. Jason Witten Game Jersey .Y. —The son of

. An own goal in the 52nd minute proved to be the winner for the Timbers
(3-5-3), who had played to scoreless draws in their last two matches. “Maybe it
wasnt pretty at times, but it was the three points that we needed,” Timbers
striker Kris Boyd said. DeMarcus Ware Youth Jersey . Haden was not on
the field for the portion of practice open to the media. Haden got hurt during
Wednesdays workout and did not practice on Thursday. Browns coach Pat Shurmur is
expected to provide an update on Haden, who missed four games earlier this
season when he was suspended for violating the NFLs policy on
performance-enhancing substances. Jason Witten Womens Jersey . —Dan Wheldons
fatal accident in last years IndyCar season finale was a harsh reminder of the
dangers in auto racing.WASHINGTON—Adam Jones flashed talent during his first
four seasons with the Orioles that suggested he could be a star. So far this
season, Baltimores centre fielder appears to be putting it all together. Jones
continued his consistent play with three hits and his 14th home run,
Nick Markakis added a two-run homer and the Orioles matched a season high with
their fifth straight win, 6-5 over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night.
The AL East leaders improved to 15-5 on the road. Washington lost its third in a
row. Jones has an 11-game hitting streak. In the seasons first 41 games, Jones
also has two 10-game runs and hes reached base safely in all but four games. The
Orioles are 13-1 when he homers. “Early in the year, with men in scoring
position, I was rushing. I had strikeouts, popouts with men in scoring position.
I needed to back away from it, and let the ball come to me and see the ball.
Lately, Ive been trying to see the ball, use my hands and not really try to
think too much about the play because thinking, hitters are never supposed to
think,” Jones said. With four homers in his last five games, Jones is on a pace
to hit more than 50. “That would be awesome,” Jones said. “My main mission every
time I step into that box is hit this ball as hard as you can hit it.” Manager
Buck Showalter, who evened his record as Baltimores manager at 130-130 with the
win, loves to talk about Jones. “Hes that type of talent and hes in a good place
mentally. Hes slowed the game down some, but at the same time, hes letting it
rip every time he gets an opportunity to help his team,” Showalter said. The
Orioles took a 6-0 lead in the fifth and barely held on. Robert Andino had a
two-run single in the second, Jones a two-run home run in the third and Markakis
a two-run homer in the fifth—all off Ross Detwiler (3-3). Jason Hammel (5-1)
pitched 5 1-3 innings for the win, allowing four runs and six hits. Baltimore
relievers Luis Ayala, Troy Patton and Pedro Strop combined for 2 2-3 scoreless
innings. Orioles closer Jim Johnson allowed a two-out home run in the ninth to
Ryan Zimmeerman, who had three hits. Tyron Smith Jersey. But Johnson struck out
Adam LaRoche for his 15th save in as many chances this year, and his 23rd
straight. Hammel has been dealing with a sore right knee. It delayed his
previous start by four days. On Monday, Hammel struggled through five innings,
allowing four earned runs and seven hits. He didnt allow a hit until the fourth
inning, gave up a run in the fifth and three in the sixth. “I get to a certain
point now where its almost like Im pitching on one leg and transfer everything
to the arm. I got one out further than last time, I guess, so thats good,”
Hammel said. “Weve just got to get the leg stronger, but Im definitely hitting
the fatigue stage.” Washington scored a run in the fifth on three straight
two-out singles, and drove Hammel out of the game in the sixth when Rick Ankiel
hit an RBI double. After Hammel left the game, the Nationals third run scored on
an infield out and the fourth on Roger Bernadinas RBI single. “He was a tough
cookie. It took us a while,” Washington manager Davey Johnson said. Detwiler
gave up six runs and nine hits in five innings, the first time a Nationals
starter gave up six runs since Sept. 10, 2011. “I put the team in a hole early
and they did a great job trying to dig out. Its just too much, really,” Detwiler
said. NOTES: Johnson said that when RHP Chien-Ming Wang finishes his rehab
assignment, hell likely pitch him in the bullpen. Wang, whos on the disabled
list with a pulled hamstring, was projected as a starter, but the emergence of
Detwiler makes his addition to the starting rotation sticky. “I dont look at him
as a reliever. I look at him as a quality, major league starter,” Johnson said.

this month, will report to Triple-A Norfolk. Tejada, who had two prior stints
with the Orioles, was in extended spring training in Sarasota, Fla. ... The
