loser Edwin Diaz is available -- he was held out of games both Satu

Openers Dean Brownlie and Martin Guptill both scored centuries in the drawn game between Northern Districts and Auckland at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.Brownlie, who was to feature for New Zealand A in the cancelled tour game against Pakistan, was involved in two significant partnerships on the first day - 93 for the first wicket with Anton Devcich (26) and 158 for the third with Corey Anderson (103) - and went into stumps unbeaten on 143. Northern Districts were 324 for 5 at stumps, but the prospect of an outright result diminished as the second day was completely washed out. Brownlie was dismissed early on the third day, without adding a run, and Northern Districts added 93 before declaring on 417 for 7. Legspinner Tarun Nethula followed up his five-for in the previous game with 3 for 99, while fast bowler Lachlan Ferguson took 3 for 70, including the wicket of Brownlie.Aucklands response was aggressive - their run-rate was consistently hovering about six per over for the first 50 overs of their innings. Martin Guptill, who was axed from the Test squad just before this game, was at the crease during those overs. He hit 20 fours and four sixes in his 138-ball 151, before Ish Sodhi (2-113) dismissed him with the score on 295. All of Aucklands regular bowlers were put under pressure by Guptill, and it took part-timer Daryl Mitchells 4 for 39 to restrict them to 351. No other batsman got past 33.Rain truncated play on the final day as well, as Northern Districts lost regular wickets on either side of a 63-run stand for the third wicket between Corey Anderson (46*) and Mitchell (26), to be reduced to 83 for 5, courtesy Fergusons 3 for 19. They played out the 13 overs from that point without the loss of another wicket, and took 8 points from the game that keeps them on top of the table.Batsman Cole McConchie and captain Andrew Ellis struck centuries for Canterbury in a rain-hit draw against Otago in Invercargill. Otago bowled 98.1 overs with play possible only on the first day and briefly on the second day.Otago won the toss and put Canterbury in to bat, and seamers Michael Rae and Christi Viljoen prised out the top four batsmen by the 41st over, leaving Canterbury at 108 for 4. McConchie and Ellis then added 258 runs for the fifth wicket, leading Canterbury past 350 before they were separated. Their partnership was Canterburys best for the fifth wicket against Otago, surpassing the 236 added by Chris Harris and Nathan Astle in 1996-97.McConchie, playing his seventh first-class match, brought up his half-century off 110 balls before rapidly completing a maiden ton off the next 49 balls. His 103 off 161 deliveries included 15 fours and a six. Ellis, at the other end, brought up his seventh first-class century and surpassed a previous career best of 171 with an aggressive innings. He smacked three sixes in an over and took 21 runs in an over off Viljoen to finish the first day on 184. Ellis, however, fell four runs short of a maiden first-class double-hundred after he was dismissed by Viljoen on a rain-affected day in which only 7.1 overs were bowled. Canterbury eventually declared their innings at 446 for 6.Rae finished with a career-best 4 for 112 while Viljoen had returns of 2 for 120.Cheap Shoes From China .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night.

China Shoes Wholesale .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche. China Shoes Nike . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead.SEATTLE -- In a rare deal that involved up-and-coming prospects on both ends, the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees made a 2012 trade that was supposed to set the foundation for both organizations. The pitching-rich Mariners sent All-Star rookie starter Michael Pineda to New York for Yankees top prospect Jesus Montero, a catcher with unlimited offensive potential.Four-and-a-half years later, that blockbuster deal looks more like a waiver-wire transaction. While Montero flamed out and is no longer in the Seattle organization, Pineda will return to Seattle as a struggling, back-of-the-rotation starter.Pineda (6-10, 4.89 ERA) has had a rough year but is pitching pretty well over his past few starts as he heads into his second appearance as a visiting pitcher at Safeco Field. Hes 1-0 with a 3.18 ERA this month and doesnt have the typical pressure of a New York pitcher in that the Yankees are out of the postseason conversation. New Yorks 2-0 loss at Los Angeles on Sunday left the Yankees at 63-60 and 6.5 games out of the American League East race.Since the Yankees waved a proverbial white flag by trading Carlos Beltran and their top two relievers, Pineda has started to find some success. He threw five scoreless innings in his last start, coming out of the game only because of a rain delay before watching the New York bullpen blow up in a 12-6 loss. Manager Joe Girardi said after that game that Pinedas history of shoulder problems were a factor in not sending him back out after the rain delay.We just felt its risky for him, Girardi said. And thats just not a risk we want to take. Hes important to us.Despite the disaster that Montero became as a Mariner -- he hit .247, never panned out as a catcher and once got into a physical altercattion with a team scout during a minor league appearance -- Seattle hasnt exactly missed Pineda.dddddddddddd. The Mariners starting pitching has been a strength over the years, and only this season has the offense finally caught up.Seattle had another offensive outburst Sunday afternoon, piling up 10 hits on the way to a 6-3 lead going into the ninth inning, but the bullpen blew the lead in a 7-6 loss. Reliever Tom Wilhelmsen endured most of the damage, allowing two home runs and four runs total in just one-third of an inning.Weve been playing well, so its definitely disappointing, Wilhelmsen said. But we just have to come back (Monday) and kick some butt.The Mariners used five relievers during the Sunday loss, so they might be in a predicament for Mondays game. While closer Edwin Diaz is available -- he was held out of games both Saturday and Sunday to rest an arm that threw 61 pitches over his two appearances Wednesday and Friday nights -- Seattle might be limited if starter Cody Martin struggles.Martin (1-2, 3.14 ERA) is scheduled to make his second start after filling in for injured James Paxton last week. The reliever was supposed to make that one spot start before going back to the bullpen, but Paxton hasnt responded from a bruised elbow and landed on the disabled list. That pushed Martin back into another start, and Servais might have to get creative if Martin gets into early trouble.Weve been running those guys very, very hard, theres no doubt, Servais said of his bullpen. ... Thats just where were at in the season. Were 10 days away from some reinforcements when the rosters expand for the season. ' ' '
