The Indian womens hockey team slumped to their third successive loss at the Rio Olympics, going down 3-0 to USA.?Still seeking their first win after returning to womens Olympic hockey since their 1980 appearance, India were once again forced into the defensive for most part of the match, as USA dictated the pace.With the loss, India remain as one of the bottom two teams - the other being Japan - with just one point from four matches in the six-team Pool B standings; India will have to beat higher-ranked Argentina in their final pool fixture on August 13 for any chance of qualifying to the quarterfinals.The fitter and faster Americans kept the possession with them for long periods of the match while the Indians gave away the ball easily to their opponents, who got nine penalty corners over the course of the match; India won none.?All three of USAs goals, though, came from field efforts. Kathleen Bam scored twice -- in the 14th and 42nd minutes -- while Melissa Gonzalez struck once in the 52nd minute. The Indians had just a couple of shots at the opposition goal.Just when it seemed like India would maintain a clean slate in the first quarter, they conceded a goal in the 14th minute, with the dangerous Kathleen scoring a field goal following sloppy defending. Kathleens reverse shot went past the Indian goalkeeper Savita Punia.The Indians did better in the second quarter as they were able to stop the Americans from scoring, including from two penalty corners. In the 20th minute, Rani Rampals reverse hit found the target but it turned out that the ball sounded the board after being deflected from Preeti Dubeys leg, much to the disappointment of the Indian supporters. .India showed some purpose and intent to attack in the third quarter and they raided the USA defence on a few occasions. However, USA made it 2-0 with Kathleen scoring her second goal of the match in the 42nd minute, as she rounded off a defender with a reverse flick before sending the ball through the legs of Punia and into the goal.The Indian defence crumbled in the final quarter as they ventured higher on the field in search of a goal and were punished on the counter. Melissa fired in from close range in the 52nd minute after a neat passing interchange among three players.USA got three more penalty corners in the final quarter and put the Indian defence under severe pressure, but they could not add to their goal tally.?

Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team.

"I didnt need to be anybody else, I just needed to be myself and be aggressive," said Burks, who scored a career-high 34 points to spark the Utah Jazz to a 118-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night.HOUSTON -- Matt Dominguez was touted for his defensive skills when he joined the Houston Astros. Lately, hes shown that hes pretty good on offence, too. Dominguez hit a three-run homer and Jason Castro added a solo shot to give the Houston Astros a 6-5 win over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night. The Astros trailed by one in the fourth inning before Dominguez launched his fourth homer of the season in left field to give Houston a 6-4 lead. "Im trying to figure some things out and be more consistent," said Dominguez, who is batting .239. "Ive been able to get some big hits, and hopefully, the average will be there by the end of the year. But most importantly, Ill get the RBIs and get the (wins)." Dominguez has hit all of his homers in the past nine games and his 21 RBIs are second on the team. "This guy is growing up right before our eyes," Houston manager Bo Porter said of the 24-year-old. "Hes getting more and more confidence ... I think hes gotten to the point where he understands himself, he understands what the league is trying to do to him, and now hes picking his spots and you see that he has some power." Castros homer came in Houstons two-run third inning before Kansas City took the lead on a three-run home run by Miguel Tejada in the fourth. It was his first homer since 2011. Houstons Dallas Keuchel (1-1) allowed nine hits and four runs while striking out six in 6 2-3 innings for the win. He was helped by three double plays turned by his defence, which lead the majors with 60. Closer Jose Veras struck out two in a perfect ninth for his seventh save. "Keuchel did a great job of, one, attacking the zone and being very efficient with his pitches and did a good job of pitching to both sides of the plate and using his off-speed stuff to induce ground ball double plays," Porter said. Kansas City starter Jeremy Guthrie (5-2) allowed eight hits and a season-high six runs in five innings -- his shortest start of the season. He had gone 18 games without a loss before allowing 19 hits and 11 runs in the past two games to lose two straight. "I never really got into a groove, and its my own fault," Guthrie said. "Whether it was a walk or falling behind guys, I just wasnt able to put anybody away. For the most part, none of my pitches were super well-executed, and they just made me pay." The Royals cut the lead to 6-5 when Eric Hosmer doubled and Jeff Francoeur sent him home with a double, which dropped just in front of a diving Jimmy Paredes in the eighth inning. Francoeur, who entered the game in a 0 for 11 slump, had a season-high three hits for his first multi-hit game since April 30. The Royals mustered a little more offence on Monday that they had in a weekend sweep by the Athletics when they managed just five runs in three games. But their losing streak stretched to foour games after going 3 of 10 with runners in scoring position on Monday.dddddddddddd. Royals catcher Salvador Perez was shaken up when he crashed hip-first into the railing near Houstons dugout chasing a foul ball in the fifth inning. He finished the inning, but was replaced by George Kottaras for the sixth inning. Manager Ned Yost said he has a bruised right hip and is listed day to day. Kansas Citys three-run fourth inning ended a 36-inning streak where the Royals didnt score more than one run in a frame. Perez singled to start the inning before a one-out single by Francoeur set the table for Tejadas shot, which landed in the back of the Crawford Boxes in left field and gave Kansas City a 4-3 lead. It was the first home run for the 38-year-old Tejada, who didnt play in the majors last season, since July 16, 2011. "Right now, for me, even if I get a hit, its great," Tejada said. "When I get an opportunity, I just want to help my team win a game. Im excited to hit a home run, but Im just trying to do my best to help us win." Carlos Pena walked and Paredes singled in the fourth before the homer by Dominguez put Houston up 6-4. Marwin Gonzalez led off Houstons third with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt. Gonzalez took third on an error by Elliot Johnson when he missed the catch on a pickoff try. A sacrifice fly by Jose Altuve gave Houston a 2-1 lead. Castros fourth homer of the season pushed Houstons advantage to 3-1. Hosmer and Francoeur hit consecutive one-out singles in the second inning before Johnsons RBI single with two outs put Kansas City up 1-0. Carter walked with one out in the second and Pena followed with a double to the corner of right field. The Astros tied it at 1-all when Carter scored on a groundout by Paredes. Hosmer, the first baseman, made a nifty catch to end the seventh inning. He jumped high into the air and extended his glove to snag a liner by Paredes. He fell backward to the ground and glanced at his glove as if to double check that he actually made the catch.
