BALTIMORE -- Washington Nationals rookie right-hander Reynaldo Lopez will try to duplicate his last outing and square the series when the Nationals face the Orioles on Tuesday night in Baltimore.Lopez (2-1, 4.37 ERA) shut down the Atlanta Braves on Aug. 18, allowing two runs -- one earned -- on four hits in seven innings as he beat Atlanta for the second time in five days.The 22-year-olds task will be tougher on Tuesday night when he makes his first career start against Mark Trumbo and the Orioles, who lead the majors with 194 home runs.Trumbo smacked his 38th homer of the season, a two-run shot, and Jonathan Schoop added a solo shot in Baltimores 4-3 win on Monday before 31,660 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.It was an energy that was needed, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of the crowd after his team snapped a three-game losing streak. Its a pick me up. Were having to make a lot of adjustments with batting practice and work schedules trying to keep our legs under us. Thats why an atmosphere like this is nice.Trumbo leads the majors in home runs and is already four beyond his previous season high with over a month left in the season.I wanted to drive the ball in the air a little bit more this year. That was kind of the mindset going into it, and all the offseason work was kind of geared towards that, Trumbo said. You dont know if its going to materialize or not, but you hope it does and so far so good.Baltimores Dylan Bundy outpitched A.J. Cole, but Coles effort could be felt throughout the remainder of the home-and-home series.Pitching in place of Stephen Strasburg, who went on the disabled list Monday with a sore right elbow, Cole went seven innings and provided some much-needed rest for a Washington bullpen that has been overworked during the teams road trip.He did more than save our bullpen he threw a heckuva game, manager Dusty Baker said. Great poise and great command against a very good offense.Cole joined Lopez and Trea Turner among the prospects who have been thrust into the spotlight for Washington this season.Our young guys have come through in all departments -- offensively, defensively, pitching wise -- and their futures bright and so is ours, Baker said.Anthony Rendon homered for Washington and is hitting .333 with 12 doubles, seven homers, 21 runs scored and 25 RBI in his last 31 games.Danny Espinosa had a home run as well, snapping a 38-game stretch without one. Bryce Harper went 0-for-3 with a walk and is hitting .175 (10-for-57) lifetime against the Orioles.Right-hander Kevin Gausman (4-10, 4.11 ERA) starts for Baltimore on Tuesday. He allowed five runs -- four earned -- in 6 2/3 innings last time out against the Astros, but picked up his second win this month.In his last four starts Gausman has allowed 10 earned runs in 23 2/3 innings (3.80 ERA). At home this season, he is 4-1 with a 2.73 ERA. Gausman is 1-1 with a 9.00 ERA in two career starts versus Washington, the last being in 2014.Wilson Ramos is 2-for-3 against Gausman with a home run.Celtics Jerseys 2020 .

Brazilian police afforded Patrick Hickey no such deference early Wednesday, bringing a TV crew to film the IOC executive being arrested in a Rio de Janeiro hotel room while naked.The powerful head of Europes Olympic bodies is now a criminal suspect, accused of being part of a plot to rake in $3 million by illegally selling Rio Olympic tickets above face value:Here is a closer look at the case.---WHO IS HICKEY?Until Wednesday morning, Hickey was the president of the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) and collecting his $900-a-day games per diem as an IOC executive board member.The former judo athlete built his powerbase through the sport, going on to lead the entire Irish team at the 1988 and 1992 Olympics before being elected an IOC member in 1995. He joined the ruling executive board four years ago.The Irish body announced that Hickey would be relinquishing all Olympic roles while being investigated for scalping.The OCI website still describes Hickey as probably the top ranked Irish administrator in the world of international sport and, as well as being a prime mover in the IOC, he is president of the powerful European Olympic Committees organization.In that role, Hickey launched the European Games, which were staged for the first time last year in Baku amid criticism over Azerbaijans human rights record. Hickey has been struggling to find a host to stage the 2019 games.---POLICE CASEConspiracy, ticket scalping and ambush marketing are the charges facing the 71-year-old Hickey. Police cant start to question Hickey yet as he became ill while being arrested in the Barra da Tijuca district of Rio and taken to a hospital.National Olympic committees receive tickets, some of which are sold legally and wind up in package deals.But in the biggest example of alleged profiteering, police said some Irish tickets for the Rio opening ceremony with a face value of $1,400 were sold for $8,000.Police beliieve tickets from Irelands official allocation were transferred to an unauthorized vendor, British company THG, who would set high fees and disguise the transaction as a hospitality package.dddddddddddd Pro 10 Sports Management is the authorized company to sell Rio Games tickets in Ireland.Our conclusion is that the creation of Pro10 was a maneuver used to transfer the tickets to THG, which did not obtain the accreditation to sell tickets, said Aloysio Falcao, an investigator with the Rio police fraud unit.According to Falcao that was to enable ticket scalping disguised as hospitality packages.---OTHER SUSPECTSThe investigation was no surprise for Hickey. Rio police made their first arrests last week, detaining THG executive Kevin James Mallon who was found with games tickets designated to the Irish Olympic body. At the time, Hickey denied any wrongdoing by the OCI but Irish legislators said they wanted to question him about the tickets.Brazilian authorities have also issued warrants for four more executives at THG, including Marcus Evans, who owns its parent company as well as English soccer club Ipswich Town. Evans regularly faces scrutiny for his sale of tickets for major sporting events.---WORLD CUP CASEIf officials being arrested on ticket-scalping charges at an international sports event in Brazil sounds familiar thats because it happened at the 2014 World Cup.Raymond Whelan, a British director of FIFA ticketing partner Match Services, was arrested in a blaze of publicity at a luxury Copacabana hotel two years ago. Around eight months later, a Rio court ruled there was insufficient evidence to prosecute him for the illegal sale of tickets.Coincidentally, Matchs loss-making operations at the 2010 World Cup received a boost when THG staff were arrested for ticket selling in South Africa, using laws that FIFA supported being introduced for the tournament.
