WASHINGTON -- Its not every day a manager intentionally puts the potential winning run on base in the ninth inning against a red-hot offence. Philadelphia rookie manager Ryne Sandberg did just that Saturday night against the Washington Nationals and went home a winner. Reliever Jonathan Papelbon retired Wilson Ramos on hard grounder to short and the Phillies held on for a 5-4 win over the Nationals, snapping Washingtons seven-game winning streak. Ryan Zimmerman doubled off Papelbon to start the ninth. After Jayson Werth flied out and Ian Desmond popped out, Bryce Harper, who had singled in his previous at-bat, was walked intentionally. "Just the better matchup," Sandberg said. "Sometimes Harper seems to make things happen, as he did earlier with the broken-bat base hit." Ramos hit a smash toward short, but Jimmy Rollins threw him out to end the game and give Papelbon his 27th save. "(Rollins) made a very nice read on that, retreating back," Sandberg said. "That was an in-between hop that he made a little bit longer. A heck of a play right there, it really was." Carlos Ruiz had two doubles and three RBIs and John Mayberry homered for the Phillies. The Nationals, who had scored three in the seventh to pull within 5-4, fell 5 1/2 games behind the Reds (winners in Milwaukee) for the second NL wild card. "Were still fine, weve just got to win the games," manager Davey Johnson said. "Just got to keep winning." Cole Hamels (8-13) won his fourth straight decision, allowing four runs, three earned, on eight hits in six-plus innings. Washingtons Denard Span went 3 for 5 to extend his hitting streak to 25 games and stole a career-high three bases. Gio Gonzalez (10-7), coming off a one-hitter against the Mets, allowed four runs on nine hits in six innings. "Its a tough loss right there, especially when these guys battled all the way to the end," Gonzalez said. Pinch-hitter Scott Hairston, Span and Ryan Zimmerman singled to load the bases in the seventh and end Hamels night. Facing Justin De Fratus, Jayson Werth grounded to third and Cody Asche threw home for the out. Ian Desmond plated Span with a sacrifice fly to make it 5-2. Left-hander Cesar Jimenez came in to pitch to Harper and Harper blooped a single to centre scoring Zimmerman. When centre fielder Cesar Hernandez overran the ball, Harper went to second and Werth scored from first. B.J. Rosenberg fanned Ramos on a called third strike. Philadelphia took the lead in the fifth. With one out, Mayberry hit an 0-1 offering from Gonzalez into the visitors bullpen to tie the score. The Phillies werent done as Hamels and Hernandez followed with singles. Rollins flied out, but Chase Utley walked to load the bases. After pitching coach Steve McCatty visited Gonzalez, Ruiz hit the left-handers first pitch over Werths head in right for a bases-clearing double. "Hes using the whole field. I mean the double down left field line his first at-bat. The double down the right-field line," Sandberg said. "Hes the right guy up with men on base for us, for a month." Since Aug. 8, Ruiz is batting .583 (14 for 24) with runners in scoring position, with six doubles and 19 RBIs. "Im not trying to do too much," Ruiz said. "Just put the ball in play and see what happens." Utley added what turned out to be a crucial RBI-single in the seventh to make it 5-1. Washington took the lead in the first. Span singled, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Werths sacrifice fly. NOTES: The Reds win officially eliminated Philadelphia from playoff contention. ...

"It just felt like it was my time to move on," she said in a phone interview from her hometown of Burlington, Ont.KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe is questionable for Sundays game against the Cleveland Browns after straining his groin in practice this week. Coach Andy Reid said Friday that Bowe hurt the groin near the end of Thursdays practice. The former Pro Bowl wide receiver did not participate in Fridays workout. "Its day to day. Well just see how he does," Reid said. "He was feeling a little bit better today than yesterday, which is good. Well just see how he is tomorrow and well go from there." Bowe, who signed, a five-year, $56 million contract in the off-season, has struggled to get involved in the Chiefs unbeaten start. Hes second on the team with 25 catches, but he has just 295 yards receiving and two touchdown catches in his first seven games. Reid and Chiefs offensive co-ordinator Doug Pederson have been quizzed for weeks about why thats the case, and both of them insist that Bowe has been doing other things to get involved. On several occasions, hes delivered devastating blocks for running back Jamaal Charles. If hes unable to go on Sunday, the Chiefs will have to rely even more oon a bunch of untested players.dddddddddddd Donnie Avery has 21 catches for 343 yards, and Dexter McCluster has 16 receptions for 186 yards, but no other wide receivers on the roster have more than four catches. Junior Hemingway is next with four grabs for a paltry 27 yards. "We try to spread it around as much as we can and give everyone an opportunity," Reid said. "Well see how it all works out. Were not doing anything until we see who is playing here." Everybody else on the Chiefs roster practiced Friday, including starting safety Kendrick Lewis, who sat out the previous day with a lingering ankle injury, and tight end Anthony Fasano, who played last week for the first time since Week 2 because of his own ankle injury. Reid was especially pleased with Lewis, who played through his injury last week. "Twenty-three is all in, all the time," he said. "Even when he cant practice with the ankle, hes right there just backpedaling, making calls and just on the sideline, so hes doing all the stuff. Hes 100 per cent all in. I love the kid. Tough, tough, tough kid." Cheap China Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China ' ' '
