MIAMI -- Roberto Hernandez looked like a completely different pitcher in this start. Hernandez bounced back from two rough outings and went 8 2-3 innings, leading the Tampa Bay Rays over Miami 3-1 Wednesday night and sending the Marlins to their season-worst eighth straight loss. "Primarily he had a nice rhythm, a nice tempo, and I thought he kept getting better all night long," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. Kelly Johnson and Yunel Escobar each drove in a run as the Rays won their fourth in row. Tampa Ray has taken 12 of its last 13 against the Marlins and improved to an AL-best 8-1 in interleague play this year. The teams played in just 2 hours, 13 minutes. Hernandez (3-5) allowed a combined 10 runs in six innings during his previous two starts against Baltimore and the New York Yankees. But he limited Miami to just one unearned run and three hits, striking out five. "Everybody knows my last two times were very, very bad and when they gave me the ball tonight, I didnt think, I tried to throw a good game," Hernandez said. Chris Coghlan hit a leadoff double in the Miami first and later scored on a throwing error by right fielder Matt Joyce. After Coghlans hit, Hernandez retired 26 of the next 27 batters, including 15 in a row at one point. "A really calm Roberto," Rays catcher Jose Molina said. "He was not as hyper as other outings." Placido Polanco singled with two outs in the ninth, prompting Maddon to lift Hernandez in favour of Fernando Rodney. "His pitch count was good, but it was still nine times out there and he was sweating pretty good," Maddon said. The Rays closer got Derek Dietrich to fly out to earn his 10th save in 15 opportunities. "I think all emotional benefits were met tonight," Maddon said. "I think 8 2-3 and getting a win benefits Roberto and I think the emotional benefit of a one-out save helps Fernando a bit. That was part of my overall thinking at that point. Both guys could benefit if this thing works out." Tom Koehler (0-3) gave up three runs and seven hits in eight innings. "Its always tough when you give up a couple runs in the first," Koehler said. "One run is a little easier. The first run is never the one thats going to going to beat you because you got to score to win. That one never beats you. But when you give up that second run, it puts your team in a hole and every at-bat becomes a battle for them from the beginning and that cant happen." The Marlins have dropped 15 of their last 17. "Just another game like weve seen before where we couldnt get anything going offensively," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "... It seems they had 15 guys out there tonight." The Rays started quickly. Ben Zobrist began the game with a single, Joyce doubled and Johnson hit an RBI single. Evan Longoria grounded into a double play, scoring Joyce. Escobar added an insurance run in the seventh with a sacrifice fly that drove in James Loney, who doubled and advanced on a single by Desmond Jennings. Marlins rookie Marcell Ozuna singled in the fourth to extend his hitting streak to 14 games, the longest active string in the majors. NOTES: Hernandezs last complete game was Sept. 10, 2010, against Minnesota while he was with Cleveland and known as Fausto Carmona. ... Ozunas streak if the third-longest in club history among rookies. Edgar Renteria had a 22-game hitting streak in 1996. ... Miami 31-year-old INF Ed Lucas earned his first big league callup after 10 years in the minors, but did not see action in the game. In a corresponding move, INF Nick Green was designated for assignment. ... Maddon announced that RHP Alex Colome will make his major league debut and start Thursday pushing LHP Matt Moore back to Friday as Fridays scheduled starter RHP Alex Cobb has a finger laceration on his throwing hand. The Marlins will send RHP Ricky Nolasco (3-5, 3.65 ERA) to the mound against Colome. Cheap Shoes UK 2020 .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one.

Greg Rutherford maintained his impressive winning run at major championships by retaining his European long jump title in Amsterdam.The 29-year-old blew away any fitness concerns by leaping out to 8.25 metres on his penultimate attempt to overhaul Swedens Michel Torneus by just four centimetres.His victory came minutes after Dina Asher-Smith blazed to 200m gold to land her first major senior crown as Great Britains athletes kick-started their continental campaign in style on day two of competition.There were fitness doubts over the Milton Keynes man, given he had not competed for a month before heading to Amsterdam.Rutherford revealed he had lost the hearing in his left ear as a result of the whiplash injury he suffered on his last competition at the Birmingham Diamond League and was risking permanent damage by continuing to jump.He admitted he felt rusty in qualifying on Wednesday and it showed.Rutherford, though, is a proven championship performer, and, when it came to the final, having sat in second for much of the competition, he pulled out a winning jump when it mattered.While Rutherford has been there and done it, Asher-Smiths success marked another breakthrough for the 20-year-old history student, the brightest of Great Britains young sprint hopes.A kit carrier at London 2012, she flew round the bend to hold a commanding lead heading into the straight as she crossed the line in a seasons best 22.37 seconds.She comfortably beat Ivet Lalova-Collio, her only serious rival in the absence of Hollands world champion Dafne Schippers, into second.ddddddddddddhe time put Asher-Smith 10th in the world rankings this year, but she admitted ahead of the championships that this event was a building block to the Olympics and she wanted to be running her fastest in Rio next month.Asher-Smith said: I didnt expect it. I knew I was in a good position going in, but at the same time I knew I had to go in there and actually run a good race.Sometimes I get a bit nervous and I tie up the last 30m as I did, so I just wanted to cross the line first. I did so I was super-happy.My mums here. I saw her on the victory lap, she was jumping up and down crying at me.Jodie Williams, who won European silver two years ago in Zurich when Asher-Smith pulled up with a hamstring injury, was sixth in 22.96.Tiffany Porter took Britains medal tally to three, but the defending champion had to settle for bronze in the 100m hurdles in 12.76.James Ellington, having looked so impressive in clocking a personal best 10.04 in the 100m semifinals, had to settle for fifth in 10.19 as Hollands Churandy Martina took a shock victory in 10.07, much to the delight of the home crowd.There was worse news for Ellingtons team-mate Richard Kilty as the former world indoor champion was disqualified in the final for a false start.
