AMSTERDAM, Netherlands – NAC Breda moved into third place in the Dutch First Division soccer league with a 3-1 win over Feyenoord on Sunday. Jermichael Finley Jersey . The win left NAC with a remote chance to overtake league leader PSV Eindhoven, but only if it wins its last three matches and PSV loses all of its matches. Feyenoords loss dropped it into sixth place, 11 points behind PSV and no longer in contention for the league title. Leroy Fer gave Feyenoord the lead in the 10th minute by scoring off a pass from Michael Mols. But NAC replied in the 31st when a shot by Kurt Elshot was deflected in by Kevin Hofland. Rogier Molhoek headed NAC into the lead in the 40th, and Matthew Amoah made it 3-1 in the 72nd. He could have added his second with a late penalty, but Henk Timmer saved the spot kick. A lot of people say we dont belong in the top five of the league and certainly have no right to third place, NAC coach Ernie Brandts said. But that is where we are at the moment. Its a great feeling. FC Twente had to wait until the 90th minute to earn its 1-0 win at FC Utrecht, with Stein Huysegems scoring the games only goal. Also on Sunday, AZ Alkmaar snapped a 12-game winless streak with a 2-1 victory over Vitesse Arnhem. The result came after AZ players reportedly were told at a crisis meeting last Friday that they needed to start winning if coach Louis van Gaal wants to hold onto his job after this season. In Sundays other match, Sparta Rotterdam and Willem II Tilburg tied 2-2. On Saturday, Ajax kept its league title hopes alive with a 4-2 win at SC Heerenveen while PSV could only manage a 0-0 tie at NEC Nijmegen. The results reduced PSVs lead over second-place Ajax to five points. A PSV victory and Ajax loss would have earned the Eindhoven team its fourth straight title. Clay Matthews Jersey . For the Tampa Bay Rays, they enter a week in which they can make up some serious ground in their quest for a postseason spot. The Rays begin a six-game road trip on Tuesday night with the first of three straight games with the Orioles in a pivotal division matchup. Nick Perry Jersey . The right-hander looks to build off his third career shutout this evening when the Toronto Blue Jays begin a three-game series against the hosting Texas Rangers. http://www.officialgreenbaypackersgear.com/james-jones-jersey . Dayan Viciedo homered and drove in four runs, Alex Rios delivered a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning, and the White Sox rallied to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-6. B.J. Raji Jersey . Kelly, an MBA student from Basking Ridge, N.J., was honoured on offence after a dominating performance in a 51-16 upset win over the Ottawa Gee-Gees (3-2), who were ranked 10th in the country going into the contest. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound pivot threw for 348 yards and four touchdowns and also scored on a one-yard run as the Golden Hawks (2-3) racked up over 500 yards of net offence. Jordy Nelson Youth Jersey . 1. The team said the process of finding a replacement will begin shortly. Jamison will remain a member of the ownership group. He serves as the franchises Governor to the NHL as well as on the Leagues 10-person Executive Committee, a position he was elected to by the NHLs Board of Governors in 2007.OAKLAND, Calif. —Tommy Milones changeup felt the best it has yet. His cut fastball in kept Chicagos hitters off balance all night. He just wishes he could have finished what he started with a complete game—yet theres plenty of time for that. “Its still early, definitely,” Milone said. Pinch-hitter Kurt Suzuki doubled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, Milone outdueled Gavin Floyd and the Oakland Athletics beat the Chicago White Sox 2-0 on Tuesday night. “Probably the best my arm has felt so far this year,” Milone said. “Just being able to make pitches and starting hitters off with a strike and then working from there and keeping the off-speed pitches low.” Daric Barton drew a leadoff walk in the eighth and Luke Hughes struck out before Matt Thornton relieved Floyd (1-3). Suzuki doubled to left and Barton scored easily, then Eric Sogard added an RBI single as the As ended a 16-inning scoreless stretch going back to Sundays 5-1 victory against Cleveland. “I dont know how many innings it was we didnt score. It felt like 100,” As manager Bob Melvin said. Chicagos stellar pitching produced yet another strong outing on a road trip full of them, but the White Sox had their four-game winning streak snapped along with a six-game road winning streak. A night after Jake Peavy pitched a three-hitter in a 4-0 White Sox win Monday—Oaklands fourth time being blanked—Floyd did his part. On Saturday in Seattle, Phil Humber pitched a perfect game in a 4-0 win over the Mariners. Milone (3-1) matched Floyd all night until Oaklands offence finally capitalized. The As did plenty on defence to back Floyd, turning double plays and throwing out Chicagos Brent Morel on a steal attempt in the eighth after he hit a two-out single. “Against that lineup, pretty spectacular,” Melvin said of Milone. Milone, acquired in the winter trade that sent All-Star Gio Gonzalez to Washington, allowed three hits over eight efficient innings, struck out five and didnt walk a batter in a 98-pitch outing. Grant Balfour finished the four-hit shutout, Oaklands fourth, for his fifth save in as many tries in a game that went 2 hours, 27 minutes. “Its obviously something I want to do. I want to finish the game,” Miilone said. Casey Hayward Jersey. “Theres not any rush to get me out there and pitch over the pitch count.” Floyd, who came in with a 3-1 record and 2.35 ERA with 35 strikeouts in his previous seven career starts against the As, allowed two hits and one run, struck out six and walked two in 7 1-3 innings. “He pitched great. Its tough to pitch like that and get a loss. This one stings because your guy pitches such a good game and we couldnt do much on the offensive side,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “Their guy pitched a little better. He kept us off balance and we couldnt get anything going off him.” The White Sox were trying for their longest road winning streak since a seven-gamer from Aug. 30 to Sept. 6, 2010. Still, Chicagos 7-2 start away from home was the clubs best since winning 10 of its first 12 on the road in 2005. Chicagos Alex Rios went 0 for 3 and had his 11-game hitting streak snapped, with Adam Dunn pinch-hitting for him in the ninth. Dunn struck out swinging to end it. “I thought I was going to hit but if he thinks Adam is better there, lets go for it. Were trying to win ball games,” Rios said. As left fielder Coco Crisp was held out of the lineup after he still experienced symptoms of his recent illness after playing all nine innings Monday following five games out because of a bug and inner ear issue. Melvin said Crisp will rest through Thursdays off day and perhaps be ready Friday at Baltimore. Notes: Humber, who pitched the 21st perfect game in major league history Saturday at Seattle, flew home Tuesday morning to be with his wife before the birth of their first child. Humber— claimed off waivers from the As on Jan. 18, 2011, is set to pitch Thursday at home vs. Boston. ... Jarrod Parker, who grew up in Indiana as a Chicago fan, makes his As debut in Wednesday afternoons series finale. “I grew up a White Sox fan, so its going to be cool,” he said. ... Oakland SS Cliff Pennington and C Suzuki each had the night off, before Suzuki entered to pinch hit in the eighth and stayed in behind the plate. ... As owner Lew Wolff watched batting practice from the field and confirmed Barry Bonds trial lawyer, Allen Ruby, is now on the legal team for the clubs efforts to build a new ballpark in San Jose. ’ ’ ’
