PITTSBURGH -- Forced to exit Monday's 2-0 win over the Reds in the fifth inning with neck stiffness, Chase d'Arnaud said he doesn't expect the ailment to be more than a Alfonso Soriano Jersey day-to-day issue. He will be re-evaluated on Tuesday, after which the Pirates will provide another update on Cubs Alfonso Soriano Jersey his Johan Santana Jersey status.The stiffness was the direct result of a headfirst slide d'Arnaud made into third base in the fourth. d'Arnaud briefly consulted with manager Clint Hurdle and head trainer Brad Henderson after he was slow to get up, Authentic Starlin Castro Jersey but he remained in Authentic Alfonso Soriano Jersey the game and scored Pittsburgh's first run.After playing one Starlin Castro Jersey more inning in the field, though, d'Arnaud left the game."At first, when it happened, it Authentic Michael Cuddyer Jersey was a little tight, but I thought it would be fine," he said afterward. "The next inning on defense, as the inning went on it kind of locked up more and more Michael Cuddyer Jersey to the point where I felt like I was just hurting the team. I let the trainers know and they took action."Despite being shaken up on the slide, d'Arnaud's aggressive decision to advance to third on a single by Neil Walker set the Pirates up to score Authentic Johan Santana Jersey twice in the fourth. Walker advanced to second on Jay Bruce's throw Mets Johan Santana Jersey to third, which put d'Arnaud and Walker in position to come home on a groundout and subsequent sacrifice fly.

 BALTIMORE -- Not this time.A night removed from snapping a season-high nine-game losing streak, the Orioles looked poised to fall back into the same trap that has plagued them throughout a disappointing month, falling behind three runs before picking up a bat in a Sunday afternoon contest that started with little life Kosuke Fukudome Jersey and an all-too-familiar short start.But buoyed Authentic Kosuke Fukudome Jersey by a superb three innings from reliever Mark Hendrickson -- who exhibited a calming presence following an early Indians home run show -- and highlighted by a career-high four-RBIs from Robert Andino, Baltimore roared back for eight unanswered runs to earn an 8-3 series-splitting win over Authentic Joe Mauer Jersey Cleveland.   The afternoon victory, in front of a crowd of 17,754 at Camden Yards, was Baltimore's second consecutive and marked the Orioles first back-to-back wins since June 19 and 20. The game featured an offensive onslaught that included four home runs for just the second time this season. But it was Andino's three-run shot that proved to be the game-changer."He's one of the talented guys in here," center fielder Adam Jones said of Andino, one of the final roster decisions at Spring Training, who made his presence felt with a go-ahead fifth-inning homer. "It doesn't surprise me he did David Wright Jersey it. I'm just happy he did it."Andino sent Indians' starter Jeanmar Gomez's 3-1 offering 362 feet, a ball that had just enough to clear the left-field fence and one that gave the Orioles all the momentum necessary to turn around an ugly beginning."It had been a while," Andino said of the Orioles' rally efforts which -- in addition to his first homer since April 30 -- also featured Rangers Lan Kinsler Jersey solo shots from Jones, Nick Twins Joe Mauer Jersey Markakis and Matt Wieters."Pitching kept us in the game and gave us a chance to come back. And we did."And they did it on an unlikely arm in the veteran Hendrickson. The well-liked lefty, who chose to not exercise the opt-out clause in his contract and accept an assignment to Triple-A, had his contract purchased Saturday and couldn't have picked a better time for his first scoreless outing. "Mark Hendrickson kept it from snowballing," said manager Buck Showalter, who made the decision to go to the bullpen early given the struggles of starter Mitch Atkins."There's a reason why a guy like him has stuck around [in the Majors] for so long. We like what he brings to the club between the lines on a given night, and he gets it. He gets the reality of this game and what it's about, and realizes he doesn't let failures snowball [or change] the way he treats people or the way Authentic David Wright Jersey he competes."Tasked with holding an early 3-0 hole, Hendrickson allowed just one hit in his longest outing of the season, giving the Orioles offense exactly the opening it needed.And reliever Jim Johnson made sure it held, escaping a one-out bases-loaded jam in the seventh inning. Johnson came on with two men on Cubs Kosuke Fukudome Jersey in lieu of Michael Gonzalez, and after allowing a Mets David Wright Jersey single he absorbed Travis Buck's liner and rebounded to cut the leadoff runner down at the plate. Johnson followed that up with a strikeout of Lonnie Chisenhall."There's a lot of talent in this clubhouse," Hendrickson said. "On the roadtrip -- especially the one before the break -- we obviously didn't play well, and coming out of the break, we didn't do so well in the first couple of games. Just get some momentum back, get something going, get some momentum, it's something that's good for Lan Kinsler Jersey us, and we'll just move on to Boston."On Sunday, Atkins Joe Mauer Jersey was the beneficiary, getting a fortunate no-decision despite a second Authentic Lan Kinsler Jersey straight abysmal outing. The 25-year-old Atkins -- who was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk after the game -- allowed a pair of homers two outs into the game, and lasted for just three innings of three-run baseball in a forgiving line. The Indians sent 18 men to the plate off of Atkins but only scored three runs, keeping Baltimore within striking distance.
 

ST. PETERSBURG -- Minds and bodies were getting tired as the stalemate between the Red Sox and Rays went all night Sunday and into the early hours of Monday morning.It was the type of occasion that called for Dustin Pedroia Michael Young Jersey -- who will never be accused of lacking energy -- to be a hero.And that's exactly what the little second baseman was for the Red Sox, raking a two-out, RBI single into right, bringing home the only run of an epic, 1-0 16-inning victory against the Rays.By the time the madness had ended, Pedroia had even earned a new nickname within the confines of his clubhouse that seemed as if it was about to go viral."The Muddy Chicken is definitely the player of the game," Red Sox ace Josh Beckett said of Pedroia. "He got it done when we absolutely needed it."The Muddy Chicken?"I don't even know what you're talking about, man. It sounds awesome, though, doesn't it?" said Pedroia.New monikers aside, Pedroia was just happy to give his team a big hit when they needed it most."I just wanted to go home," Pedroia said after a game that ended at 1:54 a.m. ET. "I think everyone did. We Denard Span Jersey were trying our best pretty much the whole night to score some runs. But they threw the ball outstanding all night. Twins Denard Span Jersey We did, too. It was a great game -- we're just happy we won."At last, the first substantial rally of the night by either side was Authentic Carlos Zambrano Jersey set up by a leadoff walk to Josh Reddick, a sacrifice bunt by Jason Varitek and then a chopper for an infield hit by Marco Scutaro.With Reddick on third and just one out, righty Adam Russell, the ninth pitcher of the night for the Rays, got a temporary reprieve when he got Jacoby Ellsbury on a shallow flyout to left.But up stepped Pedroia, who banged Russell's 0-1 offering into right, allowing Reddick to trot home."It was a fastball away," Russell said. "It was where I wanted it. He made a good hit on it, put some good wood on it. Fell in there."Without question, Pedroia was the man the Red Sox wanted at the plate at that critical moment."Because by that time, it's not just physical but it's mentally draining," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "That's probably the Authentic Carlos Beltran Jersey one guy you know that's going to figure out a way."Reddick was one of many players who helped the game go that long, making a spectacular leaping catch against the wall to end the bottom of the 10th.And back when it was an electric starting pitching duel between Beckett and Jeff Niemann, Pedroia made a couple of tremendous diving stops to rob the Rays of hits.There were several frustrating squanders for the Red Sox, before Pedroia made the marathon contest a worthwhile endeavor."It was a nice win -- it was a long one. Nobody holds us down for 16 innings," quipped Francona.Alfredo Aceves fired three scoreless innings to earn the win for Boston, again serving as an invaluable weapon."It's not easy for pitchers, but the game today was a long game," Aceves said. "Sixteen innings. Everybody was enjoying it and having fun out there. There wasn't much we could do. Just play."Jonathan Papelbon came on for the save, sending the Red Sox off to Baltimore on a winning note. Adrian Gonzalez ended it on a diving stop of a Reid Brignac grounder.It seemed to end just in time."I was beat up," Pedroia said. "I'm sure everyone else was, too. It's a great win for us. We had one earlier in the year when we lost one like this. It takes a lot out of you. It gives us a boost, so now we head to Baltimore. We'll get there probably round 7:30 [a.m.] or something and play soon."One man who won't play is the captain. Varitek, who is 39, caught all 16 innings."I'm just not going to sit down," Varitek said. "I'm scared to sit down. It was tough, but it's a nice one to win. You lose that one, and it probably hurts a little more."It was the longest game the Red Sox had been scoreless in since a 17-inning tie against the St. Louis Browns on July 14, 1916.It was also the longest game by time in Rays history."It was actually two games," said Beckett. "It felt like two games for everybody that was on the bench. We had rally caps going and everything. It Carlos Beltran Jersey was pretty good for us to be out there for that. This was a pretty wild one. It was fun to be a part of though."If ever the Red Sox Mets Carlos Beltran Jersey were going to break the scoreless tie, the top of the 11th seemed like the time. The Rays all but tried to gift-wrap a run to Boston, as they walked Kevin Youkilis, David Ortiz Carlos Zambrano Jersey and pinch-hitter Darnell McDonald to load the bases with nobody out. But Jake McGee struck out Reddick, and Juan Cruz came in and struck out Varitek and induced Scutaro into a foul popup to the catcher.Both starting pitchers were nothing short of magnificent. Beckett went eight innings, allowing just one hit and no walks while striking out six for Boston. Tampa Bay's Niemann allowed two hits over eight innings, Rangers Michael Young Jersey walking two and registering 10 strikeouts.The Rays made a bid to start a rally in the bottom of the 10th when Justin Ruggiano skied one to deep left that looked like it might even have enough legs to be a walk-off homer. But Reddick made a tremendous leaping catch against the wall for the third out, saving what would have been an extra-base hit. B.J. Upton had climbed out of the Rays dugout to start a walk-off celebration. Instead, Upton had to grab his glove and go back to center field for the top of the 11th."I saw it off the Authentic Denard Span Jersey bat real well and got a good jump and figured I had it all the way with [Ellsbury] being where he was," Reddick said. "Luckily Authentic Michael Young Jersey we communicated well. The good thing with me is I've been able to scale the wall pretty good. I played basketball in my day. I have a little bit of ups."It didn't seem that Reddick's catch -- or anything else -- could deflate the Rays. By the end of the night, Pedroia -- who had three of Boston's five hits -- had one too many chances."Just put Cubs Carlos Zambrano Jersey it down in the newspaper, I wouldn't trade Pedey for nobody in this league right now," said Ortiz.
