If the Winnipeg Goldeyes intend to make the playoffs this year, theyll likely have to win every series for the rest of the season. Tuesday night they took a step toward winning the first one. Chris Salamida provided the Goldeyes with a quality start, while Kevin Moesquit, Luis Alen and Tyler Graham drove in the runs, as the Fish beat the Sioux City Explorers 3-1 in front of 5,579 at Shaw Park. With the win, in the first game of a three-game series against the Xs, the Goldeyes put a halt to a three-game losing streak and improved to 38-36 on the season. Winnipeg moved six games of the Gary SouthShore RailCats in the American Association wild card race. "Chris (Salamida) did a good job tonight," said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney. "Its what we needed from our starter. We didnt throw it very well on Saturday and Sunday and with our hitting starting slowly tonight, we needed a strong pitching performance from Chris. "We did a good job with our situational hitting in the seventh and eighth innings and we were able to push across enough runs to win." Sioux City opened the scoring in the fifth as Anthony Kaskadden singled home Sam Judah. But that was it for the Explorers. Winnipeg scored twice in the seventh as Casey Haerther led off with a double, went to third on a single by Fehlandt Lentini and scored on a sacrifice fly by Kevin Moesquit. Later, with runners on the corners, Tyler Graham dropped a bunt single down the first base line, squeezing home Lentini from third to make it 2-1. In the eighth, Josh Mazzola singled, went to third on a single by Haerther and scored on a sac fly by Alen. The Fish had nine hits in the ball game, six of them in their final two at-bats. Mazzola, Haerther and Ryan Scoma all had two-hit nights. Scoma is now hitting .352 and has moved into second spot in the race for the American Associations batting title. Winnipeg starter Salamida (2-0, 3.26 ERA) got the win, while Sioux City starter Ryan Lucero (1-3, 4.83 ERA) took the loss. Patrick Keating (2.65 ERA) came on and picked up his 14th save of the season by pitching a quick, scoreless ninth. The Goldeyes and Explorers will play Game 2 of this three-game series on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. Andy Noga (3-10, 6.33 ERA) will start for Sioux City, while Matt Rusch (5-3, 4.13 ERA) will head to the bump for Winnipeg. Joe Burke Jersey . Jon Montgomerys gold medal in skeleton at the Whistler Sliding Centre and his subsequent auctioning off of a pitcher of beer in the village square elevated him to folk-hero status. Eric Skoglund Jersey .500 on the season. The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs. The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage. https://www.cheaproyals.com/727a-jeff-suppan-jersey-royals.html . Lack made 20 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues 1-0 in the first post-Olympic game for both teams night. Danny Tartabull Jersey . Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. Dick Howser Jersey . The lawyers filed a 33-page amended complaint Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, expanding on the suit originally filed Oct. 3 in New York Supreme Court. Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz last week refused to compel Selig to testify in the grievance, and Rodriguez then walked out of the hearing without testifying. Jeff Gordon is back.We knew this was coming. Wed known it was coming for nearly a week. Even still, I was curious to see what my reaction would be when the official word landed on our social media timelines.It did around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, stating that Gordon will press pause on his 8-month-old retirement to run Sundays Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis and then next weekends race at Pocono Raceway.The official statement from Hendrick Motorsports said that Dale Earnhardt Jr. has not been cleared by medical officials as he still suffers from concussion-like symptoms. It said he will miss at least the next two races. It reminded that Gordon owns five Brickyard wins and six Pocono victories, both records. Team owner Rick Hendrick called Gordon a team player.As I read it, I felt as if Id just swallowed a bowling ball.Please dont misunderstand. I love Jeff Gordon. I never wanted him to retire in the first place. During the 2015 season finale weekend at Homestead I twice begged him on live television to reconsider.I reminded him of his earlier statements that we should never use the r-word. Both times he just laughed at me. Sorry, buddy, he said, reaching out to grab my shoulder, Youre too late. Whats done is done.Now its undone. And with apologies to Han Solo, I have a bad feeling about this.Why? Because that farewell at Homestead was so perfect. He contended for a championship until his last lap of his last race, battling back to finish sixth in the Axalta/Jeffs Final Ride Chevy.His postrace news conference was beautiful and emotional. The way he left the racetrack with his family, headed out into the night and to a massive farewell party on South Beach, was even better.Why? Because these comebacks never work out well. Like, never.Dont get me wrong, if anyone can reverse that trend and win two races and blow peoples minds, its Jeff Gordon. He spent more than two decades rewriting the way racers have gone about their business. But hhistory says that at best these returns from mothballs end up producing so-so stats.ddddddddddddGordon is a big boy. He can handle that. Theres certainly nothing he can do on the track to damage his Hall of Fame credentials. No one remembers Michael Jordan playing for the Wizards or even Bill Elliott driving that one-off Wal-Mart car.However, thats not the potential damage Im worried about.I am well aware that this isnt Neil Bonnett or Larry Pearson or even 63-year-old Mario Andretti deciding to run Indy 500 hot laps (and ending up flipping six times). This isnt someone who has been gone for years or is still recovering from a near-fatal accident. Hes been at the racetrack nearly every weekend this season, in the broadcast booth and perpetually walking the garage.But its no secret that a not-small percentage of the reasoning behind Gordons walkaway last November was that he wanted to wrap up his driving career while he could still actually walk away.In two weeks he will turn 45 years old, but has the back of a man twice his age. It goes through stretches where it hurts so badly he cant pick up his kids or he has to ask for assistance getting up off the ground after camping out with his son.He has long admitted worrying that he was just one big hit from creating a situation that couldnt be fixed with strength training, stretching or meds.Indianapolis and Pocono are places that like to hand out very big hits.They also like to hand out very big trophies. Should Gordon win one of those -- and he could -- it would be just another chapter in his unparalleled motorsports legacy. It would make headlines around the world. It would pump happiness into an increasingly frustrating situation for Dale Earnhardt Jr., his team and his fans.It would be a tremendous feel-good story.I just wish I felt better about it. ' ' '
