Sale Sharks 19-10 HarlequinsSharks director of rugby Steve Diamond: I thought Dan Mugford had an outstanding game, moving up a level.We managed to get the win and deny them the bonus point. We learned last year how important that was if you want to get in the top four.Harlequins director of rugby John Kingston: We managed, in a 10 or 15-minute period, to lose all the momentum we had built at the end of the first half by allowing them three successive penalties, which led to them scoring from a maul and getting 16-7 ahead.From that moment on, we barely had a period of time with 15 players on the park.We effectively played the last 32 minutes with a man down, and thats pretty difficult.Worcester 23-23 GloucesterWorcester head coach Carl Hogg: I think the red card changed the outcome of the game. I was very proud of the endeavour and effort of the players, but it makes it difficult when you are down to 14.I need to review it (red card incident). I didnt get a real proper look at it, but obviously it has altered the outcome of the game.Once we got a foothold in the game our scrum in particular was outstanding. We looked strong going in at half-time, but with 14 players, its very difficult.Gloucester rugby director David Humphreys said: We are obviously disappointed, given the context of the game, to only come away with two points.But at the same time at 20-9 down after the way we lost the game (against Leicester) last week, it would have been easy for the players to feel a bit sorry for themselves.But we showed some real composure and played some very good rugby, and we gave ourselves a couple of opportunities in the last four or five minutes that we should have taken to win the game.Bath 58-5 NewcastleBath director of rugby Todd Blackadder: I thought Dave Atwood had a great game, he did all the tough stuff, made all the tackles and led that forward pack around.Well celebrate and enjoy this tonight, a fantastic performance. Its great weather and the boys probably deserve a few quiet beers - and so they should.Newcastle director of rugby Dean Richards:?Even when we had nothing to lose in the second half it took us until the last few minutes to break them down.We had opportunities, we didnt take them, and it was incredibly disappointing.Theyre a big side, absolutely massive. We struggled with that.Ford was by far the best player on the field - he knew exactly what to do and he totally controlled the game.Leicester Tigers 22-34 Wasps Leicester boss Richard Cockerill: We have to make sure we regather ahead of next week for our trip to Newcastle.We got what we deserved, which was nothing. We have to be a hell of a lot better and thats my responsibility.We are too easy to play against at the moment. The stats dont lie, conceding eight tries in two games is not good enough.Wasps Director of Rugby Dai Young: Its not my job to keep players happy, its to choose a squad that will keep fighting.You dont come here and win too many times. Since I have been at Wasps we have not won here. So we have to enjoy it.We had 20 minutes when we lost our composure and made too many mistakes.But you have to give the Tigers credit. They did it last week (at Gloucester) so we knew the game wasnt won.Bristol 10-32 NorthamptonBristol director of Rugby Andy Robinson: We were schooled on how to play rugby in that first half, particularly Premiership rugby.As soon we stopped being rabbits in the headlights and we found a little bit of our rhythm... but it is about taking your opportunities, and Northampton took their chances well.Northampton director of Rugby Jim Mallinder: Pleased to get five points, particularly after last week. We needed to win, and in the first-half we were very good.We needed to come here, shut the crowd up and in a way put massive doubt into Bristols mind that they could play at this level. That was our intention.Exeter Chiefs 13-34 SaracensExeter director of Rugby Rob Baxter: We paid for a slow start and conceded soft tries by missing easy tackles, which made it very difficult for us.We did make individual errors and had little moments of losing focus.?We are bottom of the league and weve got a good team coming here next week. It is interesting to see how we react after two defeats as we are bound to be a bit edgy.Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall: This was a big step-up from last week. It was a very difficult wind to play into and I thought we controlled it beautifully.The first 20 minutes went as well as they could have done. They are a good side and came back into it in the second 20 but we showed our defensive quality.There are so many players who stepped up today. Jackson Wray was magnificent, he gets better and better - a top level performance. Ecco Clearance Outlet . JOHNS, N. Ecco Shoes Clearance Sale .

As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night.

The Seminoles (4-0) have scored at least 80 points in each of their games. ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Two years ago, Brandon Finnegan introduced himself to major-league baseball as a reliever during the Kansas City Royals run to the World Series. On Wednesday, Finnegan will seek to build on his recent success as a starter when his Cincinnati Reds face the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium.Opposing him will be right-hander Ricky Nolasco, who has yet to win a game since the Minnesota Twins sent him to the Angels at the trading deadline.Finnegan enters the game following two stellar performances. Against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 20, the left-hander took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before finishing with eight strikeouts while permitting just two walks and one hit in an 11-1 rout.Reds manager Bryan Price told MLB.com that Finnegan was as sharp as Ive seen him this year.Then on Friday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Finnegan amassed a career-high 12 strikeouts in six innings while conceding just two runs, two walks and three hits for his fifth quality start in six appearances. In three of those starts, the left-hander pitched shutout baseball.Friday nights performance provided a distinct contrast from Finnegans last start against Arizona on July 24, when he allowed six runs on seven hits in five innings of a 9-8 loss.Last time I faced these guys, I didnt have a change-up, he told the Cincinnati Enquirer. They were definitely gearing for a fastball matchup. Thats why they were missing the change-up so much.But since that loss, Finnegan won three of four decisions.Finnegan made seven relief appearances in the playoffs for Kansas City after being recaalled from Double-A Northwest Arkansas in September 2014.ddddddddddddHe became first player in major-league history to pitch in a World Series and a College World Series in the same year, when he played for TCU. The Reds acquired Finnegan in a four-player trade for right-hander Johnny Cueto five days before last years trading deadline.This kid has got all the guts in the world, and he throws strikes, Art Stewart, the Royals long-time scouting director, told the New York Times in 2014.Nolasco, on the other hand, lost his last four starts, five successive decisions overall and eight of his past nine since June 13. The right-hander has not earned a victory since July 9. Three weeks later, the Angels acquired him from the Twins in a four-player trade for left-hander Hector Santiago.Yet in his past two starts, Nolasco showed signs of ending his funk. On Aug. 20, the right-hander did not issue a walk and retired 12 consecutive New York Yankees between the second and sixth innings of a 5-1 loss.Then on Friday night, Nolasco pitched five shutout innings before the Detroit Tigers scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth to rally for a 4-2 win. J.D. Martinez had a run-scoring double and Justin Upton hit a two-run home run.I was able to make pitches and get out of those few innings before, Nolasco told the Orange County Register. But it the sixth it was two hanging sliders that were the difference in the game. It came down to two pitches, and they didnt miss them. ' ' '
