SEATTLE - Justin Meram and Emilio Renteria scored to lead the Columbus Crew to a
2-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders on Wednesday night. Peyton Manning Womens Jersey .Meram headed a
left-footed cross from Dilly Duka for his third goal in the 15th minute.
Renteria sealed the win for Columbus (4-4-3) with a 30-yard chip over Seattle
goalkeeper Bryan Meredith in the 76th minute for his first goal.Not something
that I do every time, Renteria said through an interpreter. I saw the goalie up
and thought I could score.Columbus Duka (47) and Carlos Mendes (71) received
second-half yellow cards. Seattles Marc Burch received a yellow card in the 85th
minute, and Osvaldo Alonso received one in the 88th.The Crew came in 0-3-3
against Seattle since the Sounders entered MLS three seasons ago. Seattle even
beat Columbus in the 2010 U.S. Open Cup final.Goals change the game, Crew coach
Robert Warzycha said. They are a very good team. You have to respect what they
do at home. We have new and young players that just want to stick together and
prove we are a decent team.The Sounders (7-3-2) controlled play in the opening
20 minutes and final 10 of the first half, spending the majority of the half in
Crew territory. Seattle got off 10 shots and six corner kicks in the first half,
but converted none.Alvaro Fernandez typified the Sounders struggles in the first
half just before the end of extra time. David Estrada took a lofted pass on the
right of the box and sent the ball over the Crew defence to Fernandez, who
headed the ball down on bounce wide of the right post.Fernandez stood with his
hands on his hips, stunned by the missed opportunity. It was the best of several
chances for the Sounders in the half.Not happy, Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid
said. I thought we gave up a soft goal in the first half. Weve got to do a
better job of marking at the back post and weve got to score the goal right
before halftime. The opportunity that Fernandez had makes it 1-1 and that
changes everything.Alonso had a chance from the top of the box that was shot
right at Columbus goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum. Also, Sounders midfielder Brad
Evans missed with a header, and defender Jeff Parke sent a header off a corner
kick over the cross bar.Columbus midfielder and captain Danny ORourke was carted
off the field in the 44th minute after landing awkwardly.Gruenebaum made two
diving saves against Fredy Montero in the second half to preserve the shutout.

playoff contender, July is no time for moral victories. Toronto ace Ricky Romero
continued to round into form Friday, but the Blue Jays bats fell silent for a
second consecutive start with their star pitcher on the mound as the Cleveland
Indians posted a 1-0 shutout victory. Romero, who lost 2-0 to Chicago last
Saturday, has dropped four straight starts as Toronto once again finds itself
under .500 at 43-44. “If we want to make the playoffs (its all about team
victories). Were not here for personal stats. Our goal since spring training has
been to get into the playoffs and everything else will dictate from there,” said
Romero, who battled for six innings, allowing six hits and two walks while
striking out six to drop to 8-5 on the season. “You go through your ups and your
downs in this game and youve got to be mentally strong and I feel like Im doing
the best I can,” he said. “I know Ill continue to get better and lead this team
in the right direction.” Travis Hafners solo shot in the second inning was all
the offence Cleveland (45-41) needed behind a strong outing from
Justin Masterson, who gave up just five singles while striking out five and
surrendering one walk in the first game for both clubs after the all-star break.
Vinnie Pestano pitched a perfect eighth for Cleveland, while Chris Perez did the
same in the ninth to pick up his 25th save. The Cleveland closer struck out
Edwin Encarnacion swinging for the final out, a day after the Toronto first
baseman signed a three-year, US$27-million contract extension. “They threw the
ball exceptionally well against us tonight,” said Blue Jays manager John
Farrell, whose team is in the mix in the American League wildcard race but will
need to string some wins together to stay in the hunt. “I thought Ricky pitched
a good game, as did every guy that came out of the bullpen tonight. A 1-0 loss
is tough to take but in the end were a swing of the bat away from tying it up.”
Romero, who came in with the third best run support among American League
starters, has now gone 13 innings dating back to July 2 without the Blue Jays
providing him any offence. “You have top tip your hat off to (Masterson). He
threw a hell of a game. Kept us off balance all night and for me its not about
personal (wins),” said Romero. “Obviously you want to get off on the right note
(after the all-star break) in the win column. “One bad pitch. Again. Just hung a
curveball to Hafner and he took advantage of it.” Romero got out of trouble in
the fourth when Carlos Santana walked with one out and Michael Brantley doubled
to put runners at second and third. But the left-hander struck out Lou Marson
swinging and got Johnny Damon to ground out to short. The Blue Jaays finally got
a runner into scoring position in the fifth when Yunel Escobar got to first on
an infield single and moved to second on a wild pitch. Rahim Moore Jersey. He would get no further,
though, as Masterson (6-8) induced a weak grounder to second off the bat of
Kelly Johnson. Masterson, who suffered a 10-3 loss to Tampa Bay last time out
when he surrendered eight earned runs in 4 1-3 innings, said he took time away
from the game during the all-star break. “It was kind of a blessing to be back
out there on the mound again,” he said. “I dont think I thought about baseball
at all. I maybe caught a hair of some of the all-star festivities but it was
just nice to relax, just sit back and kind of do your own thing. “I had a nice
date night with my wife, ate at a little Italian restaurant. It was cool.”
Romero was in more trouble in the sixth, putting runners on first and second,
but he fielded a soft Marson ground in front of home himself and threw to first
to escape unscathed. Toronto put just its second runner at second in the bottom
of the inning when J.P. Arencibia singled and advanced on a fielders choice. But
again Masterson had an answer, getting Colby Rasmus to ground out. The Indians
got a runner to third in the seventh, but Jason Frasor, on in relief of Romero,
got Asdrubal Cabrera to pop out after an eight-pitch at-bat for the third out.
The Blue Jays again threatened in the seventh when Encarnacion walked and
Adam Lind walked, but Masterson struck out Escobar and got Johnson to ground
into a force out. “Anytime you lose its frustrating, whether you lose 10-0 or
1-0. Ive always said Im a sore loser,” said Romero. “I hate losing and were here
to win. We just ran into a good pitcher tonight and he did what he had to do and
it was a well-played game by both sides.” Notes: The Blue Jays added LHP
Aaron Loup to the roster. He replaces LHP Luis Perez, who is done for the season
and was placed on the 60-day disabled list retroactive to July 9 with a torn
ligament in his pitching elbow. ... Encarnacions new contract includes a team
option worth $10 million for the 2016 season. ... Blue Jays third baseman
Brett Lawrie returned to the starting lineup after missing Sundays game with
lower back tightness. ... Injured Blue Jays starter Brandon Morrow threw his
first bullpen session since straining his left oblique muscle last month. The
right-hander didnt experience any pain Friday, but Farrell said Morrow is still
a long way off from returning to the rotation. ... Attendance at Rogers Centre
was 32,308. ... Torontos last 1-0 home loss came June 23, 2010, against St.
Louis. ... Jose Bautista, who finished second in the Home Run Derby at the
all-star game, finished the night 0-for-4. ... Encarnacion wound up 0-for-3 with
a walk. ’ ’ ’
