Creighton begins the third week of the regular season, featuring a pair of games against Mid-American Conference opponents, from a higher perch in the Associated Press rankings.The 6-0 Bluejays jumped two spots to No. 10 in the latest rankings, released Monday. Its the third time in school history that Creighton has appeared in the Top 10 since the poll was founded in 1949.Jays coach Greg McDermott said the new rating is a nice way to show how the season is progressing for Creighton, which is one of three Big East teams in the Top 10.Because we started the preseason ranked in the Top 25 it means youve played okay so far, McDermott said. Weve taken care of business to this point. Our offense has been incredibly efficient but those polls mean a lot more later in the season than they do now.McDermott said he talked with the team before the new ratings were published about the importance of remembering where the Bluejays were less than a year ago and the role they had in these kinds of games.We have to remember back last year when we went on the road to Providence, Butler, Xavier and Villanova, Seton Hall, teams that were ranked in the Top 25, McDermott said. How you have just a little bit extra motivation when you go into those environments.Thats the perspective Buffalo will have when the Bulls play the Jays in Tuesdays 7:45 p.m. showdown at CenturyLink Center. The Bulls, who are the defending MAC postseason tournament champions, enter the game 4-2 after finishing third at last weeks Great Alaska Shootout.Now the shoe is on the other foot, McDermott said. A team like Buffalo comes in here in search of a signature win. Theyre an NCAA tournament team from a year ago, and they played very well in the NCAA tournament. A lot of those guys return.Blake Hamilton leads the Bulls with 16.7 points per game and is second in both rebounds (6.7) and assists (4.2). Leading rebounder Nick Perkins is second in scoring at 13.7 per game to go with his 8.2 boards per outing.Creighton counters with its deep offensive rotation that leads the nation in three-point shooting (47.9 percent) and is second in overall field goal percentage (.547) while averaging 91.8 points per game. That number puts the Jays eighth nationally in scoring.Marcus Foster was named player of the week while Justin Patton earned freshman of the week honors in the Big East Conference. Foster averaged 20.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in Creightons two victories last week.Patton averaged 14 points and 5.5 rebounds in those same two games. The 7-foot redshirt freshman from Omaha North also had two assists, two blocked shots and a steal. Patton scored 22 of his 28 points in the second half of those wins over Mississippi and Loyola (Md.).It means a lot to me because I take my game week by week every week, Foster said. My teammates really helped me get it. They looked for me a lot and I got (some) easy baskets from them.

The right-hander made a sparkling debut for surging Los Angeles on Tuesday night, limiting Arizona to four hits in seven innings in a 6-1 victory, the Dodgers 14th win in 17 games. "I was pretty pumped up," Nolasco said. "I havent been that locked in in a long time. It worked out great. I was able to make good pitches. I was definitely excited. The energy and adrenaline was going those first few innings, so it was awesome." Nolasco (6-8), acquired Saturday in a trade with the Miami Marlins, also doubled and singled, driving in a run and scoring another. "It just gives you more confidence when youre adding it to (Clayton) Kershaw, (Zack) Greinke and Hyun-Jin (Ryu), three pretty kind of top-notch guys there at the top of the rotation," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Then to add Ricky, if he can pitch like this, every time you go out there you think youve got a good chance to win." Adrian Gonzalez drove in three runs for Los Angeles but Hanley Ramirez went 0 for 4, snapping his 19-game hitting streak. Ian Kennedy (3-5), facing the Dodgers for the first time since serving a 10-game suspension for his role in a bench-clearing brawl a month ago in Los Angeles, allowed six runs, five earned, and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings. He hit Ramirez with a pitch in the first inning. The Dodgers pulled within 2 1/2 games of the NL West-leading Diamondbacks. Plate umpire Marvin Hudson warned both benches after Dodgers reliever Ronald Belisario hit Miguel Montero in the leg with a pitch in the ninth inning. Belisario had warned after the brawl that "its not over." He repeated that sentiment after the game but insisted he didnt hit Montero on purpose. "Its not over," Belisario said, "but it wasnt on purpose." So its still not over? "No," he said. The Dodgers, who won by the same score in Mondays series opener, have won 11 of their last 13 against NL West opponents, picking up seven games in the standings since they were a season-worst 9 1/2 out on June 22. Nolasco, who fanned five with no walks, shut out Arizona until the seventh, when Aaron Hill doubled off the glove of a diving Yasiel Puig in right field and scored on Martin Prados single. Arizona centre fielder Adam Eaton, making his season debut after being activated from the disabled list, stumbled and dropped Gonzalezs fly ball at the warning track with the bases loaded in the fifth. Kennedy had made his last seven starts on the road, including the June 11 outing in Los Angeles, where he hit Puig and Greinke with high pitcches in a testy game that included a bench-clearing melee.dddddddddddd Of the eight suspensions that followed, Kennedys was the most severe at 10 games, although he missed just one start. The Arizona right-hander made things interesting in the first inning Tuesday when he plunked Ramirez in the shoulder. Nothing intentional, Kennedy said. "Up-and-in changeup slipped out of my hand," he said. Mattingly agreed. "We know that Kennedys not trying to hit Hanley," Mattingly said. "That was a changeup. They were just trying to get in. Thats nothing." Nolascos two-out single to right brought in the games first run in the second. A.J. Ellis and Skip Schumaker singled to start the inning, then Jerry Hairston Jr. grounded into a double play, leaving a runner at third with two outs as the pitcher came to the plate. Andre Ethier led off the Dodgers fourth with a single. With Ethier running on the play, Ellis struck out but Monteros throw to second sailed into centre field and Ethier wound up at third with one out. With the infield playing in to cut off the run, Schumaker bounced one to second, but Hill dropped the ball, ruining any chance for a play at the plate. Schumaker was thrown out at first, but the unearned run scored to make it 2-0. Nolasco opened the fifth with a double to right-centre, then Carl Crawford reached on a bunt single and Puig walked to load the bases with no outs. Gonzalez lofted one to deep centre, where Eaton lost his footing on the warning track and as he fell to the ground the ball popped out of his glove for an error. Two runs scored to make it 4-0. Puig came barrelling around third on the play and attempted to score, but Montero took the relay throw from shortstop Didi Gregorius. Puig shoved Montero as the tag was applied, then the two stared at each other as the young Dodgers star walked toward the dugout. "He plays with a lot of arrogance," Kennedy said. "I dont know if he was trying to run (Montero) over or what." After Kennedy walked two to load the bases in the sixth, Gonzalezs two-run single off Tony Sipp broke it open at 6-0. Gregorius robbed Schumaker with a soaring grab of a line drive to end the Los Angeles seventh. NOTES: Kennedy leads the NL with 10 hit batters. Detroit RHP Doug Fister leads the majors with 13. ...
