ling if Baltimore will be significantly improved in Harbaughs

PHOENIX -- The Diamondbacks understand what they are up against entering the second half of the season, and their comeback victory against San Francisco on Saturday was a step in the right direction.Welington Castillos three-run homer in the eighth inning put the finishing touches on a four-run comeback for an exhilarating 6-5 victory, snapping a six-game losing streak.As for something to build on as the teams prepare for the final game of a three-game homestand, time will tell.I hope so, said Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who made a lunging stop with a runner on first base to preserve reliever Jake Barretts first major league victory and Brad Zieglers 17th save for the final out Saturday.Youd like to say yes, but who knows if you can. You show up tomorrow and it is zero-zero and it doesnt really matter that much. We need the win, just because we know how far back we are from San Fran and even in the wild card, so any win is going to be big. Hopefully the momentum carries over, but I know they are not going to be fazed by it.They are fine coming off losses, and it is not like if we would have lost we would have showed up and been hanging our heads tomorrow. Hopefully we can win the series.The D-backs (37-46) will send left-hander Robbie Ray against Giants right-hander Albert Suarez in the finale of the three-game series at Chase Field on Sunday.Arizonas victory Saturday was the first by the home team in the first 10 games of the season series. The Diamondbacks swept a four-game series at AT&T Park on April 18-21 before the Giants swept a four-gamer series at Chase Field on May 12-15. The Giants won the opener of this series Friday, coming back from two three-run deficits in a 5-4 victory.That is one we let get away, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday.Castillo has homered in two consecutive games and has hit four of his 10 homers against the Giants this season. He had seven in his first 21 games before going 28 games without one, connecting again June 17.Asked if his homers come in bunches, Castillo drew chuckles when he said, Thats what it looks like. Ive been feeling good lately. I know I went through a tough moment. I dont worry about my hitting. I know I can hit a little bit. Just time, and its going to come.Arizona third baseman Jake Lamb had two hits and a walk Saturday and is close to becoming the fourth player (five occurrences) in franchise history to have 20 doubles and 20 homers before the All-Star break. Lamb hit his 19th double Saturday and has 18 homers after hitting one in each of the three previous games. Only Paul Goldschmidt (twice), Matt Williams and Jay Bell have done it.Ray (4-7) threw six shutout innings for his first victory of the season at San Francisco on April 19, and he is 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA in two career starts against the Giants. He averages 10.42 strikeouts per nine innings, seventh highest among NL starters and third highest among left-handers.Suarez (3-1) will make his sixth start Sunday and also has made six relief appearances. He took Matt Cains spot in the starting rotation when Cain went out with a right hamstring strain. He has a 4.39 ERA in five starts and will gave the Diamondbacks for the first time.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens took a calculated gamble by cutting Justin Forsett and bringing him back two days later.When the Ravens reached the mandatory 53-man limit by releasing the former Pro Bowl running back on Saturday, Forsett could have signed with any team as a free agent.Instead, the 30-year-old laid low. When Baltimore re-signed him on Monday, the controversial move to cut him ended up being a win-win situation for the Ravens and Forsett.No guts, no glory, coach John Harbaugh declared Tuesday. You cant achieve anything unless youre willing to take some risk. But certainly, you take calculated, smart risks. Thats what we did there.The Ravens struck a deal with Forsett, promising to pay him his $3 million salary for 2016 if he would allow himself to spend a couple of days off the roster.By dropping Forsett and waiting an extra day to sign free agent kick returner Devin Hester, Baltimore was able to place safety Matt Elam and defensive Carl Davis on injured reserve Monday.Either Elam or Davis can be given the designated to return label in the weeks ahead. Any player placed on IR before the final 53-man cut cannot receive the return designation.Hopefully it helps us in the end, Harbaugh said. I mean, it was a small thing, but its not a small thing for those two guys who have a chance to come back on the roster. Its a big thing for those two guys and for our team. I just see it as a plus all the way around and well executed move.Forsett provided foreshadow to the Ravens about-face with this tweet Saturday: the plot thickens.I thought Justin handled it exceptionally well, Harbaugh said. It was a team move on his part and didnt hurt him in any way financially or otherwise. We knew what the plan was all along.The Ravens reached agreement with Hester on Sunday but didnt make the deal official on Monday.dddddddddddd Turns out, the two sides had been in contact long before the holiday weekend.Hester missed the first 11 weeks of the 2015 season while recovering from toe surgery and did not participate in any organized team activities with Atlanta before being released by the Falcons in late July. Not long after that, he heard from the Ravens, who desperately needed a sure-handed kick returner.They were one of the teams that reached out right away, Hester said Tuesday.The Ravens signed him to a one-year deal after being convinced he was fully healthy and ready to go. Hester practiced Tuesday and is expected to be in uniform for Sundays opener against the Buffalo Bills.Seems like hes actually in very good shape and ready to play, Harbaugh said. Im not worried about him being able to handle the job at all.For the first time since Saturdays cuts, Harbaugh addressed the release of former Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds, who was signed to the practice squad on Monday. Reynolds was a star at Navy but is trying to make in the NFL as a receiver and kick returner.He understood kind of where he stood, where he needs to go and what the plan is, Harbaugh said.Now that the roster shuffle is over, the Ravens can turn their full attention toward rebounding from last years 5-11 disaster. Many changes have been made, and at this point theres really no telling if Baltimore will be significantly improved in Harbaughs ninth season in Baltimore.I cannot wait to see what this team is, and where its going, Harbaugh said.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
