MINNEAPOLIS -- Barely a year after acquiring Carlos Gomez, the Houston Astros have let the two-time All-Star center fielder go amid a season-long slump.The 30-year-old Gomez was designated for assignment Wednesday before the game in Minnesota, where he played two seasons at the beginning of his career.Manager A.J. Hinch praised Gomezs attitude despite the persistent struggles, but he was batting .210 with 100 strikeouts in 295 at-bats and a woeful .594 on-base-plus-slugging percentage. His contract was expiring at the end of the year.I just think he put a lot of pressure on himself to be perfect, and the harder he tried, sometimes the more difficult it became, Hinch said. It wasnt a lack of effort. It wasnt a lack of preparation. It wasnt a lack of anything other than production on the field.Gomez and starting pitcher Mike Fiers arrived from Milwaukee the day before the non-waiver trade deadline last year for four prospects, none of whom have reached the major leagues with the Brewers yet. But Gomez, who was making $9 million this season, will go down as one of the franchises biggest busts.Sometimes it just doesnt work. I know he carried the burden of being the big acquisition in July. He often spoke of feeling responsible and trying to play better for the team, knowing that he was a big addition last July during the playoff race, Hinch said. We can poke holes at guys, especially on their way out the door, but Ill choose to remember the more positive impact -- the home run in New York in the playoffs, the continual ennergy behind the scenes, the selflessness in talking to some of the young players.ddddddddddddThe Astros were a surprise AL wild-card team last year and after beating the Yankees fell to the World Series champion Kansas City Royals in five games in the next round. Gomez hit .242 with 13 extra-base hits and 10 stolen bases in 41 games for the Astros after the trade.This season, hes been badly off track. He even made two glaring gaffes in the field Monday, his last game for Houston, by letting a single skip by him for a two-base error that allowed one run to score and losing a routine fly ball that became an RBI triple during a three-run fifth inning for the victorious Twins.He wasnt having a good year, obviously, but at least he tried hard, second baseman Jose Altuve said.Trying too hard has long been one of Gomezs troubles, a multi-talented athlete who has inconsistently harnessed his exuberance.We really wanted to start to play the guys who we felt were going to help us on a nightly basis more than the others, and thats not knocking Carlos Gomez at all, Hinch said. I think he brought his best every single day to try to help us win.The Astros recalled right-handed reliever Jandel Gustave from Triple-A Fresno to fill Gomezs roster spot. Jake Marisnick will take over in center field, and Tony Kemp will get plenty of time in left field. Colby Rasmus is on the disabled list with an ear problem. ' ' '

The manager is not so sure now. Evan Gattis had a two-run, pinch-hit single in the top of the eighth, then the Mets rallied to tie it in a downpour in the bottom half before the game between Atlanta and New York was suspended with the score 5-5 Friday night. The teams will resume play with none out in the top of the ninth inning on Saturday at 6:10 p.m. The regularly scheduled game is set to start 7:15 p.m. "I thought it would benefit us as we had the lead," Gonzalez said. "One guys trying to throw a wet ball and the other guy is trying to hit it with all the rain in their face. You just dont know." With rain starting to fall heavily, Gattis put Atlanta up 5-3 with a bases-loaded single off Greg Burke. The Mets tied it in a wet and wild bottom half, taking advantage of centre fielder B.J. Uptons error on Daniel Murphys RBI single and scoring on a wild pitch by Anthony Varvaro. The game was suspended after a 75-minute delay, the second of the night. There was a 16-minute wait at the start. Varvaro could be seen struggling to get a good grip on the ball throughout the inning, repeatedly rubbing his hand on his jersey and pants. Catcher Brian McCann even visited Varvaro to calm him down. Gonzalez is not sure how hell use his bullpen for the completion of the first suspended game in Mets history. "I could even run Varvaro back out there," Gonzalez said. "Its like going back-to-back days." Mets manager Terry Collins will definitely use a reliever, not his Saturday starter, Dillon Gee. "Im going to start the game with a relief pitcher," Collins said. "Otherwise, if the things over in 10 minutes, the guys already warmed up, now he has to sit for an hour. Thats not what I want to happen." The tarp was brought out after Rick Ankiel struck out to end the eighth. The Braves were trying for their seventh straight win -- they swept two home series -- but only a second win in seven road games. The Mets were swept by Cincinnati in a three-game series at Citi Field. They entered Friday 0-9 in games following a start by young star Matt Harvey. New York led 3-2 behind the impressive pitching of Jeremy Hefner for six innings, but LaTroy Hawkins gave up a homer to Dan Uggla leading off the seventh to tie it. It was Ugglas fourth hit in 38 at-batts.dddddddddddd Hefner gave up a two-run homer to Freddie Freeman in the first then was sharp the rest of his outing, giving up three hits and two walks. He struck out seven. But Ugglas homer ensured he would remain winless in his nine starts. Braves starter Kris Medlen allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings. He struck out nine, but yielded a homer leading off the fourth to John Buck that tied it 2-all. "You have these huge stands in front of you and you still feel the wind," Medlen said of the conditions. "It was a crazy, crazy night." Justin Upton was walked by Scott Rice with one out in the eighth and advanced to third on Freemans single. Rice struck out McCann for the second out and was replaced by Greg Burke. Uggla walked to load the bases for Gattis. The rookie with a made-for-Hollywood story came to the plate having hit three homers -- two as a pinch-hitter -- in his last six at-bats, including a grand slam on Wednesday. As a heavy rain started to fall, he worked the count to 1-2 before lining a single up the middle. "Its almost better," Gonzalez said of using Gattis as a pinch-hitter as opposed to starting him. "You can plug him in where you want to." Struggling in the conditions, Varvaro walked Buck then struck out Ike Davis -- his fourth strikeout of the night -- and pinch-hitter Jordany Valdespin before Ruben Tejada singled. Murphy, who had three hits for his second straight game, hit a soft line drive to centre field that hit off Uptons glove as he came in on it and Buck scored. Tejada was able to race to third base when B.J. Upton struggled picking up the ball. Varvaro bounced the first pitch to Ankiel and it scooted to the left of catcher Buck allowing Tejada to score and tie it 5-all. New York last scored more than four runs at home on April 24, a 7-3 win in 10 innings over the Dodgers. NOTES: Marlon Byrd had an RBI single in the fifth. ...

UEFA have charged Borussia Dortmund for breaching safety regulations at last Thursdays Europa League clash with Tottenham - but Spurs fans insist this is not the end of the matter. Dortmund, who won the first-leg 3-0 and travel to White Hart Lane for the second on Thursday, face disciplinary action for a blocked stairwell inside the Westfalenstadion, UEFA confirmed on Tuesday.But UEFA have also asked both the Bundesliga club and Tottenham for their observations on a separate incident outside the ground in which a fan-crush ensued and 17 people were injured by police pepper spray. UEFA are anticipating a dossier from the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust (THST), which has been handed to Tottenham, detailing the events outside the away end of Signal Iduna Park.THST, who want further action taken against Dortmund as well as a full apology from Dortmund police, have asked for a meeting with Dortmund when they arrive in London for this weeks second leg.THST co-chair Martin Cloake said it was one of the worst experiences Ive had to get into a ground since the 1970s.And fellow co-chair Kat Law told Sky Sports News HQ: While we welcome the disciplinary action, this is not the end of the matter.Our feeling is that this punishment is for a separate incident from what happened outside the stadium and we want full disciplinary proceedings brought on Dortmund for what happened outside. Spurs were beaten 3-0 in the first-leg at Signal Iduna Park, or Westfalenstadion We also want a full apology from police too, who wrongly claimed that Spurs fans caused disorder outside the stadium. This was not the case, and we are also hoping to meet with Dortmund officials again when they come to White Hart Lane on Thursday.Dortmund Police claimed in a statement last week: The majority of English fans arrived at the stadium shortly before the game, so there was pressure on the north entrance. This allowed about 80 supporters of Tottenham to come freely into the stadium.At first the entrance gates were temporarily closed by the security service. They then reopened the entrances to confrontations between visiting fans and security service employees. Due to the conflicts, the gates had to be closed again, which was only possible through the support of police forces.In order to prevent an uncontrolled entrance of the followers of Tottenham, pepper spray and batons were used by the police, in which 17 English supporters were slightly injured due to eye irritation.Furthermore a police officer and five employees of the security service were wounded in the course of these measures.Following the game, a Tottenham spokesman said: The misdirection of our fans by police along with the closing of turnstiles created a potentially dangerous situation. The use of pepper spray was completely unnecessary and unacceptable.We arranged for our fans to meet with officials of Borussia Dortmund immediately after the game. We have also spoken to officials at the club and they have taken on board our concerns.A statement on the UEFA website on Tuesday read: Disciplinary proceedings have been opened against Borussia Dortmund following the UEFA Europa League round of 16 first-leg against Tottenham Hotspur, played on March 10 in Germany.Charges against Borussia Dortmund: Stairways blocked - Art. 38 of UEFA Safety and Security Regulations. The case will be dealt with by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on May 19. Also See: Spurs video Spurs fixtures Spurs stats Get free ￡10 bet Cheap Swingman Nuggets Jerseys .

HOUSTON -- Dallas Keuchel looked like the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner, and the Houston hitters woke up to support him.Keuchel pitched a three-hitter and the Astros beat Texas for just the second time in 11 tries this season, topping the Rangers 5-0 Friday night.Jose Altuve had two hits and drove in two runs as the Astros closed within 5 1/2 games of the AL West-leading Rangers. Houston had lost three in a row overall.I dont know if its ever easy against these guys, but it was clearly his best game, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said about Keuchel. He made his pitches in the strike zone or close enough for them to have to deal with them. Just a really gutsy performance at a time when we needed it.Keuchel (7-11) allowed a career low in hits while throwing his fourth major league shutout. He struck out seven and walked two.First start in August, it is getting down to the final two months, Keuchel said.This is the first start I knew going in that it was going to be good because the way my body felt, the way it was recovering in between workouts. You get a feeling that the body is turning around right in the nick of time for August and September.Keuchel was coming off one of his worst starts of the season in which he was tagged for seven runs in five innings Sunday at Detroit.Houston got to Martin Perez (7-8) for four runs in the third. Altuve hit an RBI double, Carlos Correa followed with a two-run single before Tyler White had an RBI single.Thats the way we play, Correa said. When we are at our best, we are able to turn the game around in one inning. We were able to do that tonight. It was great, and we got the win.Keuchel got off to a shaky start, giving up a double, single and walk in the first inning, along with throwing a wild pitch.I made some pitches and settled down, but I knew from the get-go that if I was able to get a groundbball with two outs, I would be in good shape, Keuchel said.ddddddddddddfter that, he permitted just two more runners before Adrian Beltre doubled in the ninth.We saw the same guy that won the Cy Young last year, Beltre said. He relies on throwing the ball on the corners. Make you chase, keeping the ball down and thats what he tried to do.Evan Gattis had three hits for Houston, which scored as many runs as it had totaled in the previous five games.Perez lost his fourth straight decision. He hasnt won since June 26 against Boston.I just think I need to control the ball, Perez said. Sometimes Im trying to throw perfect pitches. Trying to look for the pitch for double plays and when a pitcher tries to throw perfect pitches you dont have a chance. Just need to control the ball and see what happens.TRAINERS ROOMRangers: LHP Derek Holland (left shoulder inflammation) started a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock.

MOSCOW -- Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko, who has come under scrutiny in Russias doping scandal and was banned from attending the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, was promoted to a deputy prime minister on Wednesday.President Vladimir Putin approved a proposal by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to appoint Mutko to a deputy premiership in charge of sport, tourism and youth policies, in a decision shown by state TV.Mutkos longtime deputy minister, Pavel Kolobkov, a former gold medal-winning Olympic fencer who has represented Russia at the World Anti-Doping Agency, moves up to become the new sports minister.Mutkos elevation comes despite him having been personally accused by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren of ordering the cover-up of a failed drug test by a foreign soccer player.Mutko was also denied accreditation to the Rio Olympics in August by the IOC after being named in the McLaren report. He has denied wrongdoing and suggested the report was biased against Russia.Mutkos anti-doping adviser, Nataliya Zhelanova, and one of his deputies at the sports ministry, Yuri Nagornykh, have been suspended on Putins orders since July, when McLaren accused them of helping to orchestrate cover-ups of hundreds of drug tests.Mutko becomes one of nine deputy prime ministers in Russia, a title which adds to the wide array of other posts he holds. In addition to his governmental duties, Mutko is a member of the ruling council of world soccer governing body FIFA, chairman of the local organizing committee for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and president of the Russian soccer federation.As well as the increase in rank, Mutkos new role reportedly gives him back powers over youth affairs and tourism, which were previously under his control when they were separated from the sports ministry by Putin in a government shake-up in 2012.There have been sporadic signs of discontent among some Russian sports figures over Mutkos leadership. Last month, he survived a leadership challenge as head of the soccer federation, a non-governmental organization. Mutkos main rival accused him of using the sports ministrys authority to coerce voters at the federations conference and suggested some had been threatened with losing their jobs for failing to back Mutko.Mutko personally intervened to cover up a doping case of at least one foreign (soccer player) in the Russian League, according to email evidence obtained by the WADA inquiry led by McLaren.The report alleged an additional 11 positive tests of Russian soccer players were made to disappear in a state-sponsored doping program from late 2011 to 2015.WADAs executive board called on FIFAs independent ethics court to act against Mutko, who has been a member of the scandal-scarred soccer bodys ruling panel since 2009.Among seven key demands, WADA leaders urged FIFA leaders to look into allegations concerning football (soccer) and the role played by a member of its executive committee, Minister Vitaly Mutko.---AP Sports Writer James Ellingworth in Minsk, Belarus, contributed to this report.

Davis smacked a first-pitch fastball to right field that scored Marlon Byrd from first base for a go-ahead RBI double in a three-run inning that lifted New York to a 6-5 victory over the Miami Marlins on Monday night. "Im seeing the ball well," Davis said. "I was just looking for something out over the dish to be able to hit hard somewhere." Byrd slid in just underneath the tag of catcher Jeff Mathis. "Youre hoping your safe," Byrd said. "If you see the replay, (home plate umpire) Andy (Fletcher) is right there on top of the call so he saw everything. He had a great view and I was just glad he called me safe." The Mets also got RBI singles from Daniel Murphy and Byrd in the seventh to overcome a 5-3 deficit after leading 3-0. "It energized us a lot," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "It brought us out of a huge hole and I think its a great step forward." The win snapped a five-game losing streak to the Marlins and a three-game losing streak overall. Murphy drove in three runs for the Mets and is hitting .356 (31 for 87) with 19 RBIs in his last 20 games. "Just seeing the ball a little bit better, I dont know, its baseball," Murphy said.

"There were times I felt I had the ability to throw the pitch where I needed to and there were times when I felt like it wasnt there at all," Turner said. "Its kind of frustrating." Miamis Ed Lucas tripled to deep centre to score Stanton to cut the deficit to 3-1 in the fourth. The Marlins then loaded the bases with one out, but Hefner appeared to get out of the jam when he got Mathis to pop out and Turner hit a soft grounder to shortstop Omar Quintanilla. However, the groundball went under Quintanillas glove for an error allowing two runs to score. Murphy alertly scooped up the ball and got Jacob Marsinick caught in a rundown to keep the game tied at 3. Mathis hit a two-run single in the sixth to give Miami a 5-3 lead. Hefner allowed five runs -- three earned -- four hits and a career-high five walks in 5 1-3 innings. "To just give free passes away like that, that could have really hurt us and cost us the ballgame, but its a credit to the bullpen and a credit to Murph and the guys that came through in the clutch hitting to come and win the game," Hefner said. NOTES: Aardsma is one of four relievers in the NL to not allow an inherited run to score this season. ... Stanton is batting .481 (13 of 27) with four home runs in eight RBIs in his last eight games at Marlins Park. ... Marlins pitchers Jose Fernandez and Steve Cishek were selected co-winners of the National Leagues player of the week. "Weve played some pretty good baseball and those guys have been a big part of it," Redmond said. ... The Mets will send RHP Zack Wheeler (4-1, 3.72 ERA) to the mound on Tuesday for his first start against the Marlins, who will counter with RHP Nathan Eovaldi (2-1, 3.54 ERA). ' ' '

Authentic Lakers Jerseys . -- Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings was selected Monday to his second straight Pro Bowl, while guard Kyle Long made it after a solid rookie season. From the highs of his maiden win at the Nurburgring to the lows of the infamous Multi 21 saga, Mark Webber was never far from the spotlight during his 217 race Formula One career.After his recent decision to retire from racing, ESPN looks back at his five most memorable moments from what was a stunning career.5. The Monte Carlo double - 2012 Monaco Grand Prix Only 15 drivers in history have won multiple Monaco grands prix and Webber will forever be ensconced in that elite category.The Australian steered his Red Bull to victory at the notoriously difficult street circuit in 2010 and again in 2012, on both occasions starting from pole position and comfortably controlling the pace.While the achievement will live long in Webbers memory, for Formula One fans it was his post-race celebrations which will be forever remembered. After winning in both years, Webber performed a somersault into the pool sitting atop Red Bulls floating paddock home.4. Multi 21 - 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix When thinking of Formula Ones great teammate rivalries, Webber vs. Sebastian Vettel may not spring to mind as quickly as Alain Prost vs. Ayrton Senna, but the pair certainly will be remembered for a number of notable stoushes -- none more so than the controversial Multi 21.After clear instruction from Red Bull to hold station during the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix, Vettel -- running in second at the time -- began attacking Webber before the pair duelled wheel-to-wheel around the Sepang circuit.Vettel ended up taking the victory with an incensed Webber finishing second. The hostility in the cool down room post-race was of epic proportions as Webber angrily exclaimed Multi 21, Seb. Multi 21, or car number two ahead of car number one.3. A dream debut - 2002 Australian Grand PrixIt was a dream start to Formula One racing for local hero Webber who avoided carnage and reliability issues in what was a chaotic 2002 Australian Grand Prix.The race saw two disqualificatiions and 12 retirements which propelled Webber into fifth place by the chequered flag for a remarkable points finish on debut.dddddddddddd Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher -- who won the race -- insisted on shaking Webbers hand, highlighting the magnitude of his achievement.Funnily enough, in his 11 races at Albert Park that followed, Webber only managed to better that result once; a fourth place finish in 2012.2. Not bad for a No. 2 driver - 2010 British Grand Prix The intentions become clear at Silverstone in 2010 that the then 23-year-old Vettel would be Red Bulls lead driver. After crashing and damaging his new front wing in practice, Vettel was given Webbers for qualifying and the race -- much to the disapproval of the Australian.Honestly I would never have signed a contract for next year if I believed that was the way I thought it would be going forward, Webber said.?However, despite the advantage, Webber stormed to a fifth win of his career before delivering one of the most famous lines in motorsport history. While waving to the crowd on his parade lap, Webber exclaimed over the radio, Not bad for a number 2 driver -- and just like that the rivalry was born.1. First win - 2009 German Grand Prix Who can ever forget that iconic podium jump? Webbers maiden Formula One win in Germany was as much about relief as it was pure jubilation -- having competed in 131 races prior for no victory.Starting from pole position, Webber was involved in a tangle with Rubens Barrichello as the pair jostled for the lead into the first corner which resulted in a drive-through penalty for the Red Bull driver, dropping him to eighth.However, some stunning passes and clever strategy saw him recover brilliantly to win and join Sir Jack Brabham and Alan Jones as Australias only grand prix winners at the time.

Traditional contenders Brazil, Greece and Turkey drew the other three spots to complete the 24-team field for this summers tournament in Spain, basketball governing body FIBA announced Saturday at its meeting in Barcelona. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Of all the money Shad Khan has spent on the Jacksonville Jaguars since buying the franchise in 2012, his most expensive venture has been upgrading talent the last two years.The billionaire owner has committed nearly $400 million to sign a dozen free agents, including defensive tackle Malik Jackson and safety Tashaun Gipson this offseason.Now, after winning just 14 games in four years, he hopes to see a return on his investment.My expectations are we get better and we win, Khan said Friday. I think its very simple. Its no different than every player thats on the team, every coach thats on the team. We want to win and we have a lot of pieces in place now that will help us do it.While the on-field project has taken time under general manager Dave Caldwell and coach Gus Bradley, Khan focused on improving everything around players and fans.His latest development started Friday as Khan and city officials broke ground on the second phase of a $90 million upgrade to EverBank Field, called Dailys Place. The new complex adjacent to the stadium will feature a 5,000-seat amphitheater and the 94,000-square-foot, multi-use indoor facility. Khan and the city agreed to split the cost of the construction, bringing the owners total spent on the stadium to $76 million.The amphitheater and neighboring facility are expected to be completed by May 2017.Those are really, really important steps toward meeting our ultimate goal, which is a sustainable, stable, successful NFL team in Jacksonville, said Jaguars President Mark Lamping, who added that increasing current revenue streams and creating new ones are key parts of the process.ddddddddddddWinning on the field might be even bigger.The Jaguars believe they have their best collection of talent since Khan hired Caldwell and Bradley in 2013. Offensively, they made huge strides last year with quarterback Blake Bortles and receivers Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns. But they still need to solidify an offensive line that has allowed an NFL-high 122 sacks the last two seasons and improve their running game, especially in short-yardage and goal-line situation.Defensively, Jacksonville ranked near the bottom of the league in just about every major category in 2015.Bradley responded by firing defensive coordinator Bob Babich and promoting Todd Wash to replace him. And Caldwell took a huge swing at fixing the unit by signing Jackson, Gipson and cornerback Prince Amukamara, and using the teams first five draft picks on that side of the ball. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey, linebacker Myles Jack, defensive end Yannick Ngakoue and defensive tackle Sheldon Day -- all rookies -- should contribute right away.Add in second-year pro Dante Fowler Jr., a talented pass-rusher who missed his rookie season with a knee injury, and the Jaguars could have four or five new defensive starters.And maybe more wins.This turned out to be a rebuild rather than a remodel, Khan said. Obviously takes a little bit longer, but Im delighted where we are and weve got to move forward.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
