posted a pair of hits, knocked in one and scored his 1,000th career run for the
Astros, who have won seven of 10. Brett Myers (12-7) worked seven innings for
the win, scattering six hits and one run with 10 strikeouts. Corey Hart homered
and Carlos Gomez added an RBI hit for the Brewers, who have dropped three of
four. Brandon Kintzler (0-1) was charged in the loss for three hits and three
runs and three walks while recording two outs in relief. Starter Chris Narveson
lasted six frames and yielded a run on six hits while fanning seven. Houston
took the lead for good in the seventh against Kintzler. Geoff Blum hit a
pinch-single to start, then Michael Bourn laid down a sacrifice and Keppinger
walked. Hunter Pence fanned but Lee and Chris Johnson followed with RBI singles.
On Johnsons hit, a Gomez error also allowed him to reach second, then Brett
Wallace drew a free pass to load the bases and Tommy Manzellas walk forced in
Lee for a 4-1 game. Mark Melancon was charged with the Gomez run-scoring single
in the eighth, which was surrendered by Henry Villar. In the ninth, Fernando
Abad allowed a leadoff pinch-hit double to Lorenzo Cain before giving way to
Matt Lindstrom, who earned his 23rd save by retiring the next three batters.
That was going to be no question that he would be the guy to close for us,
Astros manager Brad Mills said of Lindstrom, who earned his first save since
July 16, which was the day after the All-Star break. The Astros got on the board
in the first as Bourn singled to lead off, stole second and scored on a
Keppinger double. Harts solo shot tied the game in the fourth. We wound up
1-for-11 with runners in scoring position, but their guy pitched well, Brewers
manager Ken Macha said. He had a good breaking ball, a good curve ball, a good
slider. GAME NOTES:Myers extended his club record to 30 six-plus inning starts
from the start of the season…He also posted his 14th career start of 10
strikeouts or more, with the last one coming July 27 against the Cubs…Bourn
recorded his 50th stolen base, and has accomplished the feat in back to back
years…Cesar Cedeno is the only other Astro to do so, from 1972-77. Eugene Monroe Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Blaine Gabbert Jersey . Smith has spent the

Rajon Rondo made up for lost time in a big way for the Boston Celtics after
missing a game because of a sprained right ankle. Rondo had 20 assists for the
second time this season and added six points to help the Celtics beat the
Toronto Raptors 107-89 on Saturday. Jason Terry scored 20 points, Paul Pierce
added 19 points and six rebounds before sitting out the fourth quarter, and
Kevin Garnett scored 15 points in 17 minutes of playing time. The Celtics held
big leads early and late, but had to survive several surges in between while
winning for the fourth time in five games. And any worries Boston fans might
have had about Rondos ankle were quickly washed away when he had seven assists
in the first quarter. “We have an offence and then he creates another offence at
times,” Boston coach Doc Rivers said. Rondo appeared at full strength after
sitting out a loss at Brooklyn on Thursday night. He had 11 assists at halftime,
extending his streak of consecutive games with double-digit assists to 33.
“Something I look forward to every game is just trying to make my teammates
happy. And somehow I keep getting to 10,” Rondo said. “Tonight it was a
collective team effort as far as assists.” The Celtics had assists on 37 of 43
field goals, with Rondo leading the way and finishing just four shy of his
career high. Rondo, who played only 1:26 in the fourth quarter, is within four
games of tying John Stockton for the second-longest streak in NBA history for
consecutive games with 10 or more assists. Magic Johnson holds the record at 46.
“Im making some OK passes—just taking what the defence gives me,” Rondo said.
“It means my teammates are making shots.” Garnett was 6 for 7 from the field,
and Terry 7 of 10, including four 3-pointers in his highest- scoring game as a
member of the Celtics. Rookie Jared Sullinger had his first career double-double
with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Andrea Bargnani and John Lucas led Toronto with
15 points apiece. Maurice Jones-Drew Authentic Jersey.
DeMar DeRozan, Jose Calderon, Terrence Ross and Linas Kleiza added 10 each for
Toronto. Boston shot 56.6 per cent against the struggling Raptors, who are off
to a 2-7 start, and all 10 Celtics who played had at least two field goals. “We
cant afford to play such bad defence—especially against this type of team,”
Bargnani said. “One day we play good defence and then there are games like today
where we play very bad defence, so I cant say its getting better. We have to
focus more and give a better effort.” The Celtics scored 11 straight over the
end of the third quarter and first few minutes of the fourth to go up by 21
points. Chris Wilcox dunked an alley-oop on Rondos 19th assist, then Terry made
another 3-pointer to put Boston up 79-64 entering the fourth. Rondo left the
game shortly after reaching 20 assists early in the fourth. He also had 20
assists against Philadelphia on Nov. 9. After trailing by as much as 17 in the
first quarter, Toronto regrouped in the second and chipped into the lead with a
13-4 run. Lucas 3-pointer with 2:35 left pulled the Raptors to 42-39, but Pierce
had a three-point play and the Celtics led 47-42 at halftime. Boston was still
out of sync early in the third and a few fans started booing when DeRozans layup
pulled Toronto to 55-53 with 6:38 left in the quarter. Bargnani got Toronto
close again with a pair of free throws, 63-61, with 3:30 left in the third. But
Terry hit two 3-pointers as Boston went on an 11-1 run. Notes: Toronto was
coming off a win at Indiana on Tuesday night and has yet to win back-to-back
games this season. ... Boston was playing for the third time in four days and
has a game at Detroit on Sunday night. ... Sullingers previous highs in his
brief career were six points and seven rebounds. ... Calderon had nine of
Torontos 22 assists. ... Boston tied its season high for points, matching its
total in a 120-107 loss to Miami in the opener. ’ ’ ’
