PITTSBURGH -- Pirates rookie Jameson Taillon keeps building up his innings by limiting his pitches.Taillon threw three-hit ball for eight innings and Pittsburgh got a pair of RBI from David Freese to beat the San Diego Padres 4-0.Taillon (3-2) struck out four, walked two and threw 101 pitches.Pitch efficiency continues to be first and foremost for me, manager Clint Hurdle said. Its very, very attractive. Today, he averaged just 12 pitches per inning. ... I think it was 18 out of 22 first-pitch strikes. Hes pounding the zone.Taillon has improved his two-seam fastball and is developing his changeup.Im just playing with pitch sequencing. I had my curveball early, it kind of went away for a couple innings in the middle of the game. Thats when the changeup played, he said.Taillon matched his longest outing in the majors. The Padres put only one runner in scoring position against him.Neftali Feliz got two outs in the ninth, and also gave up a single and a walk. Tony Watson posted his fourth save by striking out Jabari Blash.Josh Harrison hit a leadoff double in the first off Christian Friedrich (4-8) and scored on Freeses single.Freese hit an RBI double in the third and scored on a single by Gregory Polanco.Harrison singled home a run in the fourth.Similar to last start, just a couple bad pitches, Friedrich said. I felt pretty good, just would be happier trying to go deeper into games, obviously, and would like to knock out some of those big-run innings.Starling Marte snapped an 0-for-12 streak by getting two hits and scoring a run.We talked this morning to come out with some energy and get going, Freese said. We knew how hot it was going to be and knew they were going to be ready to roll. We had to step up and get it done.SIXTH MANClayton Richard will join the Padres rotation as they go with six starters beginning on Sunday. San Diego is in a stretch of 16 consecutive games and wants to use an extra starter in order to keep down the workload of Friedrich, who threw only 58 1/3 innings in 2015, and 23-year-old Luis Perdomo.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: C Francisco Cervelli did not play after leaving Wednesdays game with left wrist discomfort. Hei called the issue numbness and said it stemmed from tendinitis. Hurdle said he expects him to play sometime soon. ... 1B John Jaso missed his second straight game with general soreness stemming from a collision at home plate Tuesday.UP NEXTPadres: Paul Clemens (1-2, 4.61 ERA) will make his third straight turn in the rotation as the Padres begin a three-game series in New York against the Mets. He has not pitched more than five innings in any appearance this season.Pirates: Ivan Nova (8-6, 4.83) will make his second NL since coming over from the New York Yankees at the trade deadline as the Pirates start a three-game series at the Los Angeles Dodgers. He gave up three runs in seven innings in his first start with Pittsburgh on Sunday. Nike Sb Dunk Low Cheap . With his new coach and six-time Grand Slam singles champion Boris Becker watching him during an official match for the first time, Djokovic appeared tentative early against the Slovakian player, who often appeared content to keep the ball in play.

Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. http://www.nikedunkscheap.com/nike-dunk-sb-shoes.html . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. Nike Dunk High Cheap . Ronaldo produced a spectacular individual performance on Tuesday, scoring all three goals and guiding Portugal into the next years World Cup in Brazil with a 3-2 victory in Sweden. The Real Madrid forward has scored 66 goals in 2013, but the last three may be the boost he needs to upstage Messi after FIFA unexpectedly extended the voting period for the Ballon dOr to Nov. Nike Dunk Low Cheap . After Gasquet beat fifth-seeded Ivan Dodig of Croatia 7-5, 6-3, Tsonga followed up with a 6-7 (3), 6-2, 6-2 win against sixth-seeded Edouard Roger-Vasselin in an all-French match. It was 4-all in the fourth set of the decisive fifth match. Jack Sock was about to serve. With his eyes half-closed, his opponent, Borna Coric, tapped his index finger against his left temple a few times. Then he made a fist and banged it lightly a few times against his forehead.Focus. Focus. Focus.Thats exactly what Coric displayed in the tense moments of this Davis Cup battle. He reeled off the last seven points to end the match -- and the tie -- in exactly three hours, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, giving Croatia a stunning win against the United States on Sunday.Croatia had started the weekend in Portland, Oregon, down 2-0 after Fridays singles matches. A done deal, right? The U.S. had been 157-3 when it won its first two matches, while Croatia had never recovered from a 2-0 deficit to win. But suddenly, after Mike?and Bob Bryan fell Saturday and John Isner lost his reverse singles rubber earlier Sunday, it came down to Sock and Coric.Coric is just 19. But he knew the match would go to whoever was mentally stronger. Earlier in the year, he had clinched the first-round tie against Belgium in a similar situation. Sock, while 23, had been flung in the deep end. This was his first Davis Cup tie on home soil. Both men felt the pressure, only one mastered it.I was fighting with myself. But these guys, they were all the time here for me, Coric told the crowd after he clinched for the visitors, gesturing to the Croatian bench.Coric took up tennis at age 8 after watching Croatia clinch its sole Davis Cup title in 2005.That year, Croatias march to the title began with a comparable shocker: an upset of a strong U.S. team led by Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick. Somehow, it probably wont be much consolation to U.S. captain Jim Courier, Sock & Co.This was a devastating blow to the Americans, whose male players had left Wimbledon with a lot to feel good about. The two singles players, No. 16 Isner and No. 26 Sock, made the third round beforre losing to higher-ranked players.dddddddddddd Sock had never gone the distance in a best-of-five match until this year, when he won two of three going into this tie.Then on Friday, Sock made it three of four by digging himself out of a very deep hole. He lost the first two sets to Marin Cilic but surged back to win. It was the second time in eight days that Cilic lost after leading by two sets. (Roger Federer pulled the other comeback in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.) Isner crushed Coric in the second match, giving up just 11 games. It was an impressive display of American grit and firepower.After his humiliating loss to Sock, Cilic declared he would be playing doubles, even though it wasnt part of the game plan. He teamed with Ivan Dodig to hammer the Bryan brothers, inflicting just the fifth loss in 29 matches for the U.S. doubles specialists. The tie turned on that upset.Fired up, Cilic met Isner in the fourth match. Isner played a great first set, but Cilic outdueled him in the tiebreaker and went on to win in straight sets.In my first match, I didnt show how much spirit we have, said Cilic, the elder statesman of the Croatian squad. I didnt show my emotion. I wanted it to be different today to show how motivated we are.The win set the stage for Corics heroics. The only other time he had played Sock came on the slow red clay of the 2015 French Open, with the American rolling in straight sets.This one was different. While Sock seemed to handle the occasion well, he was haunted by the same inconsistency that hampers him on tour. Hes a wonderful athlete who hasnt quite harnessed all of his energy, so it is often scattered in every direction instead of being modulated and channeled into a single productive one.You could say he sometimes lacks focus.That doesnt appear to be Corics problem.
