LANDOVER, Md. - Hows this for a frustrating hat trick: Percy Harvin had three touchdowns called back because of penalties.Well, the first one I was cool with, he said. I was like, OK. Then when the second one happened, I was like, Wow. And then when the third one happened I just flipped my hands down. I couldnt believe it.Were it not for the self-inflicted wounds, the Seattle Seahawks might have had a cakewalk against the Washington Redskins. As it was, they settled for a 27-17 win in a Monday night game flush with neutral zone infractions, holds, false starts and even a 15-yarder that was called because someone, according to the referee, hit a player on the ground unnecessarily.It couldve been a very big night for us, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. We came out flying, but we were just a little bit out of whack.One player who definitely wasnt out of whack was Russell Wilson, who rushed for a career-high 122 yards and a touchdown and completed 18 of 24 passes for 201 yards with two scores as the Seahawks (3-1) maintained their dominance in games played under the lights. Seattle is an NFL-best 21-8 on Monday nights, including nine wins in a row. The team is also 11-1 in prime time under Carroll.Wilson dazzled throughout, whether it was a designed run or a scramble out of the pocket. He had rushes of 16, 29, 13 and 22 in the first two drives. He headed for the pylon on a clinical zone-read run for a 9-yard score in the second quarter, giving Seattle a 17-0 lead, and pulled off two incredible run-for-his-life scrambles in the second half after the Redskins threatened to make a game of it.It was like he wasnt Superman in the second half, Redskins safety Ryan Clark said. He was, like, Clark Kent, half-Superman. He still did his thing.But how bad was the Seahawks penalty bug? It wasnt until a 4-yard run by Alfred Morris with three minutes left in the first half that the Redskins total yards (47) passed Seattles penalty yards (45) for good.I just think its Monday Night Football. You know, the fans are watching and everybody wants to see a good game, so theyre going to try to make it as close as possible, Seattle safety Earl Thomas said. Its a business.Seattle finished with 13 penalties for 90 yards, and Harvin paid the price. It would have been 21-0 if either of his would-be touchdowns a€” on back-to-back plays a€” had counted in the first half. First, his 16-yard run to the end zone was wiped out by holding on left guard James Carpenter, then his 26-yard catch-and-run was negated by a flag for a false start on Harvin himself.Early in the fourth quarter, Wilson hit a wide-open Harvin for an apparent 41-yard score, but Carpenter was cited again a€” this time because he blocked a Redskins player who was already on the ground.It got to the point where he had a little talk in the huddle, Seattle receiver Doug Baldwin said. Like, We need to get things straight a€” because this is ridiculous.Indeed, the Seahawks recovered from the third overturned TD. Wilson scrambled every which way a€” and nearly past the line of scrimmage before retreating a€” and hit Luke Willson for a 19-yard gain, and punter-holder Jon Ryan ran 5 yards on a fake field goal on fourth-and-1. Six plays later, Wilson hit Marshawn Lynch for a 9-yard score to give Seattle a 24-10 lead with 6:31 remaining.The Redskins pulled within a touchdown on Kirk Cousins 6-yard pass to Andre Roberts with 3:35 to go, but the Seahawks took the ensuing kickoff and marched back down the field. Wilson converted a third-and-4 with another scramble, evading Ryan Kerrigan and tumbling backward as he found Lynch for a 30-yard gain.And there was no flag.I dont know what the heck happened on that play, Carroll said. For everybody to be right and not grab somebody or do something wrong in the midst of all the chaos, and we come out of it with about a 40- or 50-yard play or whatever it was, it was phenomenal.Steven Hauschka then iced the game with a 43-yard field goal with 21 seconds to play.The Redskins (1-4) punted eight times, and two deep passes to DeSean Jackson accounted for 137 of their 307 total yards.Cousins completed 21 of 36 passes for 283 yards and dropped to 1-6 in his career as a Redskins starter.Overall, as a group offensively, our running games not quite good enough, Washington coach Jay Gruden said. Obviously our deep passing games not quite good enough. Were not quite good enough anywhere.Notes: Lynch ran for 72 yards on 17 carries and didnt enter the game until the Seahawks second series. Carroll said Lynchs muscles were tight and needed extra time to get loose. ... Jackson finished with five catches for 157 yards. ... Robert Griffin III missed a third consecutive game with a dislocated left ankle, but he made a cameo appearance before the game, throwing passes to Jordan Reed a€” who is also injured a€” on the sideline. ...

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Pedro Alvarezs first homer in almost three weeks helped the Pittsburgh Pirates improve to .500 for just the second time in more than two months. The slumping 2013 co-NL home run champion backed Edinson Volquezs pitching with a three-run shot, keying an 8-1 victory over the sputtering Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night. "It always helps, obviously, when I can contribute to a team victory," said Alvarez, whos hitting .232 with 12 homers and 38 RBIs. "Ive always said sometimes results arent indicative of how you may feel at the plate, and I feel like Im a good place," the slugger added. "Im just going to continue to work." Andrew McCutchen went 3 for 5, drove in two runs and stole two bases for the Pirates in a homecoming of sorts for last years NL MVP, who grew up in nearby Fort Meade and had never played before at Tropicana Field. He also scored twice in Pittsburghs first appearance in St. Petersburg since 2003. Alvarez, who hadnt homered since June 3, went deep off Alex Cobb (2-6) during a four-run fourth inning that also featured the first of McCutchens two RBI singles. The first-pitch, 419-foot drive over the wall in centre field snapped a season-high 16-game stretch without a homer -- Alvarezs longest since a 22-game drought that began in September 2012 and extended into last season. "A lot of times people have been taking their chances with Pedro, and hes an important part of our offence," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "We need him to fire, we need him to drive in runs and that was very good to see. Three-run homers always play well." Volquez (5-6) allowed five hits in a season-high eight innings. James Loney drove in Tampa Bays only run with a two-out, first-inning single, and the Pirates supported their starting pitcher by turning three double plays. "I got a lot of help," Volquez said. The Pirates climbed to .500 (38-38) for just the second timme since April 17, when they were 8-8.dddddddddddd They have won four of five following a three-game skid and are a NL-best 26-18 since May 6. Tampa Bay has dropped 19 of its past 27 and is saddled with the worst record in the major leagues at 31-47. "I feel like with every loss its an opportunity missed," Cobb said, adding if the Rays are going to turn their season around theyve got to get on a roll soon. McCutchen, who is batting .366 in June, boosted his average in 11 interleague games to .425 with nine walks, four doubles and seven RBIs. His run-scoring single off Cobb moved him ahead of Brian Giles for the Pirates career record for RBIs in interleague action with 52. He added another in the ninth off Kirby Yates. Alvarez, meanwhile, is hitting .317 with two home runs and eight RBIs against AL teams this season. Cobb, making his seventh start since spending five weeks on the disabled list with a left oblique strain, allowed six runs and six hits in five innings. Volquez won for the third time in his last five starts. The right-hander walked two, struck out one and didnt allow a hit after the fourth inning. Three of Tampa Bays six hits were infield singles, including Kevin Kiermaiers second-inning bunt. Jeanmar Gomez pitched the ninth for the Pirates, yielding a two-out single to Loney. NOTES: Pirates OF Starling Marte was back in the lineup after missing two games tending to a personal matter at home in the Dominican Republic. ... Pittsburgh RHP Gerrit Cole (right shoulder fatigue) threw 83 pitches over six innings in a simulated game and could rejoin the rotation this weekend. ...
