Montreal Canadiens defenceman P. John Elway Jersey .K. Subban suffered a lower
body injury playing for Canada in a pre-tournament tune-up game against
Switzerland on Sunday ahead of the World Championship, but said after the game
it wasnt serious. Subban left the game a few minutes after colliding with Swiss
defenceman Luca Sbisa midway through the first period. Post game, the
22-year-old said the trainers kept him out for precautionary reasons and that
the injury was “something new,” indicating it had nothing to do with the back
problems he had throughout the regular season with Montreal this year. Canada
head coach Brent Sutter says Subban will be re-evaluated on Monday and may just
rest the next couple of days. Canada won the game 2-1 in a shootout, with
Jordan Eberle scoring the lone shootout goal. Tom Jackson Jersey . —Canada will face host

keeps getting more experience in his first season as a starting pitcher, and
Friday was a positive step. The Cubs right-hander rebounded after allowing three
runs in the first three innings in Chicagos 5-3 victory over the Colorado
Rockies. Joe Mather took advantage of a rare start with a go-ahead single during
a three-run rally in the eighth inning and the Cubs ended a four-game losing
streak. The Rockies had matched a season best with a five-game winning streak.
“There have been times I had good stuff and its gone smoothly and then I come
out early like that and scuffle and really not have fastball command or a slider
all game,” Samardzija said. “To get through the end of seven innings felt really
good, just felt like a starting pitcher, consciously understanding whats there
and not there,” he said. Samardzija gave up two earned runs and six hits in
seven innings, striking out seven. Chicago trailed 3-2 going into the eighth
before Brett Jackson led off with his second homer of the season. Pinch hitter
Luis Valbuena doubled with one out and Mather, batting in the leadoff spot
usually occupied by David DeJesus, followed with an RBI single against reliever
Matt Belisle (3-5). Mather later scored on reliever Matt Reynolds throwing error
to first on Anthony Rizzos grounder. James Russell (6-1) got two outs for the
win and Carlos Marmol closed for his 16th save. The Rockies scored in the first
on an error by shortstop Starlin Castro, a single by Jordan Pacheco and a wild
pitch. Chris Nelson made it 2-0 in the second with his sixth homer.
Carlos Gonzalez led off the third with his 21st homer and first since July 23.
“He was able to settle down,” Cubs mannager Dale Sveum said of Samardzija. Derek Wolfe Jersey. “Hes grown a lot,
especially in the last four, five, six starts. You start seeing a guy whos
learning what to do in situations, how to get quicker outs.” The Cubs were
hitless until Alfonso Soriano led off the fifth with his 23rd home run,
connecting against Drew Pomeranz. Welington Castillo homered later in the inning
to cut the Rockies lead to 3-2. Pomeranz left after the fifth. The home runs
were the only hits he allowed. “I felt great today,” he said. “Velocity was
good, location was good. I think Castillo hit that ball pretty good, but I didnt
think Sorianos ball was going out.” The Cubs are 5-17 in August. “You leave them
hanging around like that and they have a chance,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy
said. “We werent able to do much offensively. We hit two balls out of the
ballpark with nobody on. Thats pretty much what we did.” NOTES: Sveum opted for
Mather to lead off against LHP Pomeranz, giving DeJesus a day off. “Well keep
everybody else in their slot and see what happens,” he said. “We havent seen
many lefties in a while, so well give Joe a few at-bats.” ... Pomeranz was the
first lefty starter the Cubs faced since Aug. 8 in a 2-0 loss to San Diegos
Clayton Richard … Colorado 3B coach Rich Dauer will be inducted into the
Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame on Saturday. He played for the 1983 World Series
champion Orioles … Rockies OF Dexter Fowler (ankle) is off crutches and will
likely not be in the lineup during the Cubs series. He could possibly pinch hit
Sunday, Tracy said. ... Colorado INF Josh Rutledge (quadriceps) is doing better,
but is heavily taped and progressing slowly and wont be pushed, Tracy said. ’ ’
