ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Desmond Jennings kept the Tampa Bay Rays offence rolling along. Jennings drove in the winning run with a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth inning in a 7-6 victory over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. It was the sixth game the Rays have won this season after giving up six runs or more, matching last seasons total. The Rays finished with 16 hits. "Its so much fun to watch right now," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Even when we were down early and their pitcher was pitching well, I just felt confident that we could come back." The Rays overcame an early 4-0 deficit and won their third in a row. Miami lost its seventh straight game. Kelly Johnson opened the ninth with an infield single and took second on Evan Longorias single off Mike Dunn (1-1). With two outs Jennings, who was recently dropped from first to seventh in the Tampa Bay batting order, singled sharply down the right-field line against Chad Qualls, Jennings third hit of the game. "I felt I had good at-bats all night," Jennings said. "I remember Joe (moved me down in the batting order) last year toward the middle of the season. It always seems to work." Fernando Rodney (2-2) got the win. Luke Scott and Yunel Escobar also had three of Tampa Bays hits, and the Rays bottom four hitters hit 11-for-17 with five RBIs. Greg Dobbs two-out single off Joel Peralta gave the Marlins a 6-5 lead in the eighth. Singles by Scott, Jennings and Escobar off Dunn tied it in the bottom half. Chris Coghlan homered, tripled and drove in three runs for the Marlins. Miami scored five or more runs in a second straight game for the first time this season. "Anytime you get walked off three times in a road trip, thats rough," manager Mike Redmond said after the Marlins winless trip. "It wears on everybody. Guys are battling. Theyre out there playing hard. I sensed that the attitude was good in the dugout. Guys are trying. We just didnt get it done." Marcell Ozuna doubled in the Miami second, extending his hitting streak to 13 games, and scored on Justin Ruggianos single. The Marlins made it 4-0 in the third against Jeremy Hellickson with the help of RBI triples by Derek Dietrich and Coghlan. Coghlan led off the sixth with his first home run of the season. Hellickson pitched 5 1-3 innings, giving up five runs and seven hits. Miami starter Kevin Slowey also pitched into the sixth, leaving after a double by Scott. Jose Lobatons two-run double off Ryan Webb later in the inning tied it at 5. "Youre disappointed anytime your team gives you the lead and you cant hold on to it," said Slowey, who gave up four runs and eight hits. "I thought tonight was a battle on both sides, for both pitchers, both bullpens and all the way around." Johnson doubled home a run in the third. He has 25 RBIs in 22 games this month. NOTES: The Rays optioned LHP Jake Odorizzi to Triple-A Durham. They will call up another pitcher Wednesday to start Saturdays game at Cleveland. ... Rays LHP David Price threw for a second straight day, but the AL Cy Young Award winner will miss a third start since straining his left triceps on May 15. The Rays have made no announcement indicating Price will be taken off the DL when he becomes eligible Friday. ... Marlins INFs Joe Mahoney (right hamstring strain) and Donovan Solano (left intercostal strain) are expected to start playing in minor league games by the end of the week. RHP Nathan Eovaldi (right shoulder inflammation) could be ready to return after two more minor league starts.

Cheap Nike Kd 9 Mens . PETERSBURG, Fla. CHICAGO -- People have questioned Jay Cutlers leadership from virtually the moment he arrived in town.But Cutler, 33, played a large role in a 20-10 victory over the?Minnesota Vikings?in more ways than one Monday night.Chicago Bears?receiver Alshon Jeffery revealed that Cutler delivered a pregame speech to the entire team that resonated throughout the locker room.He was talking about giving relentless effort, Jeffery said. He said to give it everything you got and play for each other.Cutler said he meant for the speech to be inspirational. The Bears had lost three straight heading into their prime-time matchup with Minnesota and wanted to avoid falling to 1-7.It was about inspiration, Cutler said. Everyone in there is from different backgrounds, different cultures, societies, family lives and schools. Whatever it takes to find that inspiration because motivation usually wears off at some point during the game. Those guys played inspired football, so it was fun to be a part of.Cutler said he draws personal inspiration from a lot of outside sources, including his wife andd children.dddddddddddd.Well, its very personal, Cutler said. Its been 11 years of [his playing in the NFL] and to be part of a locker room like that and get the game ball like that, it was fun.In his first game back after being sidelined five weeks with a thumb injury, Cutler went 20-of-31 for 252 yards and one touchdown (100.5 quarterback rating). The offense, which had struggled to reach the end zone in recent weeks, scored a pair of touchdowns with Cutler at the helm.Whether he quieted fans who thought the Bears were better off with Brian Hoyer is another issue. But that became a moot point when Hoyer broke his left arm last week in a Thursday night loss at Green Bay.I was so happy [to have Cutler back], tight end Zach Miller said. Hes the emotion on the football field. To have him back means a lot. We play well around him. Everybody played well. It was just good to get a win.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. ' ' '
