OXON HILL, Md. -- Carlos Gomez is staying with the Texas Rangers.The outfielder agreed to an $11.5 million, one-year contract, a deal subject to a successful physical.Many of the objectives of the Rangers for Carlos go beyond one year, his agent, Scott Boras, said Wednesday. Certainly Carlos really enjoyed the team and the environment and feels hes got a great chance to win. So I think both parties objectives were met by that deal.Gomez, who turned 31 last weekend, figures to play center as general manager Jon Daniels structured an outfield that includes Shin-Soo Choo in right and Nomar Mazara in left. Ian Desmond left Wednesday for a $70 million, five-year deal with Colorado.Gomez batted just .210 with five homers in 85 games this year for Houston and was released by the Astros in August. He signed with Texas and hit .284 with eight homers and 24 RBI in 33 games. An All-Star in 2013 and 14 with Milwaukee, Gomez has a .257 average and 116 home runs in 10 big league seasons.J.D. was very clear from the onset about them wanting Carlos back, and weve had communication since the seasons end to pursue that, Boras said. So it was something in our minds and in their minds. It was just a constant dialogue.---AP Sports Writer Howard Fendrich contributed to this report. Nationals Jerseys China .

Those lessons were more than enough to overwhelm the Utah Jazz.

You can watch the game on TSN and TSN Mobile TV at 10pm et/7pm pt and get updates from the TSN Hockey Insiders on the GameTracker. The defending Stanley Cup champions used a strong performance from Jonathan Quick in Game 1 to stake themselves to a 1-0 lead in this best-of-seven set. Quick, the reigning Conn Smythe winner, posted 35 saves to notch his second shutout of this postseason and lead the Kings to Tuesdays 2-0 defeat of the Sharks. Quick, who also shut out St. Louis in Game 3 of the first round, fought off 16 shots in the third period on Tuesday. Quicks six career playoff shutouts are a franchise record and his 25 career postseason wins is one away from tying the team mark set by Kelly Hrudey. Slava Voynov and Mike Richards registered a goal and an assist apiece for the Kings, who have won 11 straight games at Staples Center dating back to the regular season. L.A. also has won five straight since dropping the first two games of the conference quarterfinals to the Blues. The fourth-seeded Kings, who were 19-4-1 as the host during the regular season, also have home-ice advantage at the start of a playoff series for the first time since 1992. "It felt weird to be honest with you, but it is what it is," Kings forward Anze Kopitar said of starting a series at home. "Its nice to have home ice and its nice to stay home an extra day, but we realize that were going to have to do it on the road at some point ttoo.dddddddddddd" Antti Niemi allowed both goals on 20 shots for the sixth-seeded Sharks, who turned in a four-game sweep of the Northwest Division-champion Vancouver Canucks in the opening round. Tuesdays contest was San Joses first game since eliminating the Canucks on May 7. "We have to find ways to score," San Jose coach Todd McLellan said. "We have to make it a lot harder on them. And did we generate some chances? Yes, but we didnt win the game." As of Thursday morning, there was still no word on whether Sharks forward Raffi Torres will be suspended for his hit on Kings center Jarret Stoll in Game 1. Torres was given two minutes for charging on the play, which occurred near the end of the second period. Torres, of course, is considered a repeat offender and he was given a 25-game suspension for a vicious check on Chicagos Marian Hossa during last years playoffs. That suspension was ultimately lowered to 21 games, but Torres still missed the first eight games of this season. The NHL requested an in-person meeting with Torres for his hit on Tuesday, meaning he could be suspended for as many as five games. Stoll, meanwhile, never returned to Tuesdays contest and is likely to miss Game 2. San Jose, which will host Game 3 on Saturday, was 8-14-2 as the road team this season. This marks just the second postseason meeting between these two Pacific Division rivals. The Sharks got the best of the Kings in six games during the 2011 conference quarterfinals. The Kings and Sharks split four regular-season meetings this year, with each team winning twice at home. ' ' '
