PITTSBURGH -- Gerrit Cole never obsessed about pitching a complete game, but was happy to get his first one. Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Antlia Italia .Cole pitched a three-hitter and slumping Andrew McCutchen had a three-run home run among his three hits as the Pittsburgh Pirates rolled to a 10-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night.It was good, a really good feeling, Cole said. You try to do it every time out but its not something I had been dwelling on. There are lot of variables that can leak into any start and throw you astray, so you just focus on the things you can control like your delivery and making quality pitches.Making the 88th start of his four-year career, Cole (6-6) struck six and walked one while winning for the first time since May 20. He had gone six starts without a victory while also spending nearly five weeks on the disabled list with strained right triceps from June 11-July 16.Cole threw 94 pitches, 70 for strikes, against a Mariners lineup stacked with seven left-handed hitters and a switch-hitter while becoming the first Pirates pitcher to complete a game with fewer than 100 pitches since Francisco Liriano, who also needed just 94 at St. Louis on Aug. 14, 2013.He put his foot down and pitched, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. Thats as efficient as Ive seen him since hes been here. Twenty pitches the first inning, 74 for the other eight. Really good outing.McCutchens three-run blast off David Rollins came in the eighth inning and capped the scoring. His 15th home run of the season pushed the nine-year veterans career total to 166, tying Dave Parker for fifth on the Pirates all-time list.McCutchen, who also doubled, had gone 4 for 29 with eight strikeouts in his previous seven games, dropping the 2013 NL MVPs batting average to .241.I felt something (good), thats for sure, McCutchen said. Im just going to stick with this and keep going. It was a good day for me as far as the feel goes, and had the results with it. Hopefully, it can propel me into these last couple of months of the season.McCutchen and Jung Ho Kang, who hit a three-run double to finish a four-run seventh inning, each had four RBI to help the Pirates win for the sixth time in nine games. Jordy Mercer also had three of the Pirates 14 hits and David Freese and Starling Marte added two each as the top four in the order went a combined 10 for 17.Kang greeted reliever Nathan Karns with his double that pushed the Pirates lead to 7-1.Kang also earlier hit a sacrifice fly off James Paxton (3-5) to finish a three-run third inning that broke a scoreless tie.Paxton gave up three runs and six hits in five innings, striking out six and walking one.Drew Storen made his Mariners debut and was charged with four runs in a 1 1/3 innings a night after being acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays in a trade for fellow reliever Joaquin Benoit.Norichika Aoki hit a pair of doubles and scored the Mariners lone run in the sixth inning on Robinson Canos sacrifice fly. Seattle had won five of its previous seven games.Cole threw the ball really well, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Tip your hat to him.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: DH/OF Nelson Cruz was not in the lineup after fouling a ball off his left foot Tuesday night, though manager Scott Servais said he held the slugger out primarily because the designated hitter rule was not in effect in an NL park. ... RHP Taijuan Walker (right foot tendinitis) pitched a three-inning simulated game Wednesday, the first time he had faced hitters since going on the disabled list July 6, and will likely make a minor league rehab start this weekend. ... RHP Nick Vincent (mid-back strain), on the DL since June 27, will throw off a mound for the first time Friday since being injured and is likely to go on a rehab assignment next week.Pirates: RHP Tyler Glasnow (shoulder inflammation), who was placed on the disabled list Sunday, is expected to begin playing catch this weekend. ... C Chris Stewart (left knee discomfort) ran the bases Wednesday for the first since going on the DL on July 2 and could go on a rehab assignment by the middle of next week. ... RHP Ryan Vogelsong (facial fractures) made what was scheduled to be the last of two rehab starts for Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday night and allowed two runs on five hits in seven innings against Gwinett with one walk and two strikeouts in the International League. He also started twice for Double-A Altoona.UP NEXTMariners: Open a three-game series against the Cubs at Chicago on Friday with RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (11-6, 3.96 ERA) looking to win his sixth straight start as he faces LHP Jon Lester (10-4, 3.09).Pirates: Begin a three-game series Friday night at Milwaukee with LHP Steven Brault (0-1, 2.25) expected to be recalled from Indianapolis and make his second major league start, opposing Brewers RHP Junior Guerra (6-2, 2.85).

Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Grigie . -- Lou Brocks shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Bill Freehan during the 1968 World Series and Pete Roses bruising hit on Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game could become relics of baseball history, like the dead-ball era. http://www.yeezy350v2italia.it/yeezy-boost-350-offerte.html . What general manager Dave Nonis called "short and productive" negotiations ended with Kessel signing a US$64-million, eight-year contract on Tuesday. Anthony Foley has been remembered at his funeral for the warm, indelible marks he left on life.The Munster head coach died aged 42 in a hotel in Paris just hours before the team were due to play Racing 92 in the European Champions Cup last Sunday.His coffin was carried into St Flannans Church in his home town of Killaloe in Co Clare to the Toreador Song from Bizets opera Carmen, adopted by Munster Rugby for the clubs anthem Stand Up And Fight.Players from the province past and present formed a guard of honour inside the church grounds.Among them were former Ireland and Munster stars Paul OConnell, Ronan OGara and Peter Stringer, along with ex-Ireland team-mate Brian ODriscoll.Hundreds of other mourners packed into the church and surrounding streets.Foley is survived by widow Olive and sons Tony and Dan. In a moving homily, Father Pat Malone, a family friend, spoke about Foley with glowing sentiment.It is fitting that we celebrate with dignity the life and achievements of a man who lived life with great dignity and personal and professional integrity, he said.The priest said his personal, lasting memory of the rugby great was as a family man.His family meant all to him, he said.Olive, you were his true love, and how good you were together.One could sense the strength of your relationship, the warmth of your love for each other, and the ways you supported each other through the easy as well as the difficult moments of life.You complimented each other so well, yin and yang in perfect valve with each other. Fr Malone said the couple were second to none as parents and spoke about Foleys love for his children.He was silently assessing their temperament for future sporting engagement.In some of thhe most moving tributes, the priest praised Foleys open-hearted nature.

What touched me most in all the statements I heard or read about Anthony in the past week is the amount of care he offered to so, so many different people, he said.He had that great human capacity to sense or notice those who were struggling in one way or another and the ability to reach out to them and include them in a sensitive and caring way.That outreach made all the difference to these people.He offered people hope when they felt hopeless, confidence when they were deflated and simply wished them on when they were unable to do it themselves.Fr Malone added: His presence was reassuring, his ability to care, his sheer support, his sense of camaraderie, made all the difference and - to borrow from from another famous football anthem - knowing Anthonys presence, you knew Youll never walk alone. Anthony Axel Foley made many a mark in his 42 short years of life.Just look around and see; the indelible, warm, affirming marks he left in family, friends, colleagues, sports fans, this local community, rugby wherever it is spoken.Fr Malone referenced the incomprehensible darkness Foleys widow had spoken of since his death.He said Foleys love should shine a light on the familys grief. In a brief moment of levity, he added: I am fairly certain God could do with a top-class number eight.Foley died from a build-up of fluid on his lungs as a result of heart disease. On the rugby field he was a record-breaker with Munster and an integral part of their two Heineken Cup wins in the last decade. ' ' '
