CINCINNATI, Ohio -- David Price wished he had one pitch back. Lewis Brinson Jersey . The left-hander took a shutout into the ninth inning Friday night before giving up a homer to Joey Votto, and the Tampa Bay Rays wound up holding on for a 2-1 victory over the Reds, their first in Cincinnati. The teams have a brief and lopsided interleague history. The Reds had won eight of their nine previous games, with Tampa Bays only win coming at Tropicana Field on June 28, 2011, on Evan Longorias game-ending homer. This one had all the drama at the end. "Never had a doubt," Price said. Longoria singled home a run in the first inning and Matt Joyce connected in the third against Johnny Cueto (0-2) as the Rays finally got a victory in their second visit to Great American Ball Park. They also visited in 2005 and got swept while giving up 34 runs in three games. Price (2-0) allowed four hits and one walk, losing his shutout when Votto hit an opposite-field drive with one out. He left a pitch over the outside part of the plate, costing him a chance at his third career shutout. "That stinks," said Price, who threw 114 pitches. "I definitely wanted to finish that game." Grant Balfour relieved, got Ryan Ludwick on a called third strike, then walked the next two batters and threw a wild pitch that let them advance to second and third. He pitched around Devin Mesoraco, who has been hitting well since his return from the disabled list, and got pinch-hitter Brayan Pena to take a called third strike. "He (Mesoraco) is hot right now and Im going to be smart," said Balfour, who is 3 for 3 in save chances. "I played the odds and rolled the dice there." Despite the teams limited history, they have one close connection. First-year Reds manager Bryan Price pitched for Joe Maddon when the Rays manager ran the Double-A Midland Angels in the 1980s. Price joked before the game that they got to know each other during Maddons trips to the mound in the third and fourth innings to replace him. No early exits in this one. Both starters hung in there against struggling offences. Tampa Bay has scored a total of eight runs in its last five games. The Reds have scored only 28 runs overall, the second-fewest in the National League. Both were wasteful again. Cueto needed 26 pitches to get through the first inning, when he walked two with only one out. Longoria singled home a run, but thats all the Rays could manage. Joyce led off the third inning with a homer that landed way up in the right-field seats for his team-high second of the season. "In the first inning, I didnt feel like I was ready," Cueto said. "I felt slow. I was a little down on myself. After that, everything clicked in and I was all right." Tampa Bay had chances for a lot more. The Rays stranded four runners in scoring position in the first five innings against Cueto, who gave up five hits and walked four over seven innings. The Reds wasted leadoff doubles by Mesoraco in the third and Brandon Phillips in the fourth. Phillips had two of Cincinnatis hits off Price.

Bryan Price lost a replay challenge in the ninth, when he thought Phillips foot had been hit by a pitch. He lost the challenge: The ball bounced and deflected off the catchers mitt before hitting the foot. John Cangelosi Jersey . The Cavaliers first-year forward will miss at least three weeks with a strained left knee, the latest setback for the No. Gregg Zaun Jersey . The Toronto Maple Leafs were holding a news conference, so they got curious. It didnt take long for them to find out via social media that coach Randy Carlyle was coming back — with a two-year extension — and assistants Greg Cronin, Scott Gordon and Dave Farrish were being let go. https://www.cheapmarlinsjerseys.us/ . Patrice Bergeron and Daniel Paille scored 20 seconds apart a few minutes after Stamkos was taken off the ice on a stretcher with a broken right leg, and the Bruins beat the Lightning 3-0 on Monday afternoon.COLUMBUS, Ohio -- No quarterback controversy here. Braxton Miller is back and there is no question who will be leading Ohio State as it tries to get back to the top of the Big Ten. Miller matched a career-high with four touchdown passes in his first game in three weeks and No. 4 Ohio State ran the nations longest winning streak to 17 games with a 31-24 victory over No. 23 Wisconsin on Saturday night. Miller missed the last two games with a sprained left knee, but didnt show the slightest bit of rust. The junior threw three touchdown passes in the first half, including a 40-yarder to Corey Brown with 1 second left that put Ohio State (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) up 24-14. "Ive been working really hard this last couple weeks because Ive been hurt, fundamental-wise. Thats how I get things going," Miller said. "I felt pretty good. My leg felt good, energy-wise. I wasnt out of shape." Joel Stave and Jared Abbrederis kept the Badgers (3-2, 1-1) in it. Stave threw for 295 yards and two TDs. Abbrederis caught 10 passes for a career-best 207 yards and a score, winning most of his one-on-one matchups with star cornerback Bradley Roby. James White ran 17 yards for a touchdown with 13:47 left in the fourth quarter to cut Ohio States lead to 31-21. "It was a game of swings, a game of big plays," said first-year Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen, who worked under Ohio State coach Urban Meyer at Utah. Wisconsin got within 31-24 on a 42-yard field goal by Kyle French with 2:05 left in the fourth, and got the ball back at its own 10 with 1:29 left but Ohio State didnt even give up a first down. The Buckeyes first big game of the season lured Ohio native LeBron James to the Horseshoe and turned Ohio Stadium into the most-scarlet place on earth. Just about everyone in the crowd of 105,826 -- third-largest in Ohio State history -- was donning the Buckeyes shade of red. The Buckeyes had been off the radar for the first four weeks, beating up on overmatched foes and dropping a couple of spots in the Top 25. The only news from Columbus was Millers injury early in the second game of the season, though the Buckeyes didnt miss a beat without him. Kenny Guiton stepped in and won consecutive Big Ten offensive player of the week honours. Guiton was so good some Buckeyes fans wondered aloud whether he should keep playing even if Miller was ready to play. Miller said he wasnt paying any attention. "Im proud of Kenny, the way he stepped in," said Miller, who passed for 198 yards and ran for 83. "I look at him as a big brother.&" And Meyer said there was never a question Miller would start if he could. Jeff Brigham Jersey. "No, not if hes healthy," Meyer said. On Ohio States first series, Miller fired a 25-yard touchdown pass to Evan Spencer. Stave matched Miller, carrying the Badgers offence. He was never better than when he hit Abbrederis with a perfectly thrown deep ball for a 36-yard score to make it 7-7. "No. 4, hes got my vote for All-Big Ten," Meyer said of Abbrederis. Miller hooked up with Devin Smith for a 26-yard touchdown pass to make it 14-7 with 44 seconds left in the first quarter. Stave found Sam Arneson for an 11-yard touchdown to cut the Ohio State lead to 17-14 with 1:30 left in the half. Too much time. Miller drove the Buckeyes to the 40 and underthrew a deep pass on third-and-7 that hit Wisconsin cornerback Sojourn Shelton in the hands, but the freshman dropped the interception. "Man, it slipped out of my hand," Miller said. "I told Coach lets do it again and made up for it the next throw." Brown got behind the Wisconsin secondary by a step and Miller threw a dart that hit his receiver in the chest for a 40-yard touchdown with a second left in the half. "Its basically a play that shouldnt happen," Wisconsin safety Dezmen Southward said. "There was no miscommunication. It was just a bad play." Miller gave the touchdown signal, a couple of claps and a clumsy hip bump with a teammate. Ohio State went to the locker room up 24-14 on the three-time defending Big Ten champions. Meyer called the Badgers the kings of the Big Ten this week, ignoring the fact that Ohio State beat Wisconsin during its undefeated season last year. Because Ohio State was NCAA-banned from post-season, Wisconsin went to the Big Ten title game from the Leaders division. It was a not so subtle message to the Buckeyes from Meyer, who has never met a motivational ploy he didnt try to exploit. The Buckeyes took a big step toward taking that crown from the Badgers, though they lost starting safety Christian Bryant to a broken ankle, Meyer said. Melvin Gordon, the nations leading rusher, was held under 100 yards for the first time this season for Wisconsin. He had 74 yards on 15 carries before limping off with an apparent leg injury early in the fourth quarter. Andersen said he thought Gordon would be OK. Roby had a rough day overall, but his interception of an errant pass by Stave in the third quarter set up Millers 1-yard TD pass to Brown with 2:18 left in the third quarter to make it 31-14. ' ' '
