THEY SAID ITIt was a clear penalty. There will not be a clearer one this year in the A-League, from Western Sydney coach Tony Popovic. And from opposite number Kevin Muscat, who has just worn a $5000 fine for criticising referees, I could be honest with you and the headlines tomorrow would be Muscat slams referee. In their different styles, both coaches agreed that Jarred Gilletts decision to deny the Wanderers a penalty for Jason Gerias tackle on Jumpei Kusukami was wrong, and a game-changer.STAT THAT MATTERSMelbourne City captain Bruno Fornaroli became the quickest man to 30 A-League goals with another double in Thursday nights 2-1 win over Newcastle Jets and now has 31 goals in 25 appearances. In just 14 months in Australia, the Uruguayan striker has already smashed the record for most goals in a single campaign.MEN OF THE ROUNDWellington Phoenix duo Ernie Merrick and Roy Krishna deserve recognition for turning around Wellingtons season. After four straight losses, the Nix have two on the bounce and are again looking dangerous. Krishna has scored in the Phoenixs last three matches and teed up Hamish Watson to seal a 2-0 win over Central Coast on Saturday. That was also Merricks 100th win as an A-League coach.SAFEST HANDSEugene Galekovic was a busy boy in the Reds 1-1 draw with Brisbane on Friday night, making six saves and keeping his side in the contest as Adelaide gained just their second point of the season.CONTROVERSY CORNERMelbourne City already enjoyed a numerical advantage over Newcastle Jets on Thursday night when they unintentionally deepened their disadvantage. With Jets skipper Nigel Boogaard off with an ankle injury, a botched double substitution saw Tim Cahill stay on the field as his intended replacement, Paulo Retre, joined him. Within a minute, City had pointed out the mistake and with no advantage gained, both clubs were able to laugh the incident off.UNDER PRESSUREJets boss Mark Jones could be facing his first major moment at the club. Three straight defeats and a long list of unavailable defenders headed by Boogaard means Newcastle head into this weekends F3 derby with their tails between their legs. A point might feel like a win. Anthony Mantha Jersey . -- When the Florida Panthers fell behind by two goals in the first period to the top team in the NHL, it appeared they were on their way to yet another loss. Dylan Larkin Jersey . The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad. http://www.wholesaleredwingsjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-alex-delvecchio-jersey . 10 Texas Rangers jersey for one last time.

Peter Holland and Brad Staubitz were sent to Toronto on Saturday as the Maple Leafs traded defenceman Jesse Blacker and draft picks to the Anaheim Ducks. SEATTLE -- Despite some early struggles, Hisashi Iwakuma continued his roll on the mound and with it advanced the suddenly improving hopes of the Seattle Mariners getting back into the postseason conversation.Those struggles were just a minor blip for Iwakuma on his way to another masterful performance, throwing seven strong innings in Seattles 3-0 win over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night.He is in a really good spot, a good roll and he feels that when he gets off mechanically for a few pitches hes able to correct it and get back on, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. A testament you dont have to throw 93, 95 to get them out in this league if you execute and make pitches.Iwakuma won for the seventh time in his last eight starts, backed by RBI singles from Mike Zunino and Kyle Seager off Michael Fulmer in the second inning as Seattle opened a key three-game series with its fourth straight win.The Mariners moved within 2 1/2 games of Detroit and Boston for the second wild card in the American League.The pitching is amazing, Seattles Nelson Cruz said. If we want to make a run thats what we need. Theyve been doing a great job.No one has been better for Seattle than Iwakuma. The right-hander allowed five hits and struck out eight, running his streak of scoreless innings at Safeco Field to 21 1/3. He retired 12 of the final 13 batters he faced, including striking out the side in the fourth.Iwakuma (13-7) has developed into the ace of Seattles staff, throwing at least seven innings in eight of his past 14 starts. And he got a little payback after being knocked around by Detroit in June, when he failed to make it through five innings and gave up five runs and 11 hits.When you give up a game you always think about coming back and repaying for that loss, Iwakuma said through an interpreter. Im happy that I got to do it today. Were on a streak right now and I dont want to stop the streak.The performance by Iwakuma offset another solid start from Fulmer. The Tigers rising star threw seven innings and allowed only two hits while striking out six. Three of Seattles five hits off Fulmer (9-3) came in the seconnd inning when the Mariners took an early lead.ddddddddddddThe rookie suffered his first loss since June 17 -- also the last time the Tigers lost when he started.I feel like my misses were in the right spots. ... I think as far as that goes I didnt miss middle too much, Fulmer said. I think its just one inning and after that it felt great.For a change, the runs for Seattle didnt come via the long ball.Cruz led off the second with a double and scored when Seager rolled a ground ball behind Detroits defensive shift and into center field. Seager moved into scoring position when Leonys Martin walked with one out and scored as Zunino was strong enough to dump a broken-bat single over third baseman Casey McGehee and into left field.Seattle added a run in the eighth when Nori Aoki doubled with two outs and scored on Guillermo Heredias RBI single.Iwakuma and a pair of power arms out of the bullpen did the rest. Newly acquired Arquimedes Caminero pitched a perfect eighth in his Seattle debut and rookie Edwin Diaz pitched the ninth for his fifth save.HOME COOKINIwakuma won his eighth straight start at home, surpassing Felix Hernandezs club record. Hes the first AL pitcher to win eight straight home starts since Jerome Williams for the Angels during the 2011-12 seasons.ROSTER SHUFFLETigers: Left-hander Daniel Norris was recalled from Triple-A Toledo and will start on Tuesday night. The Tigers placed right-hander Bruce Rondon on the paternity list to clear the roster spot for Norris.Mariners: Starter Taijuan Walker was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma to open a roster spot for Caminero. Walker was roughed up for six runs in four innings in his last start. Ariel Miranda will take his spot in Seattles rotation.UP NEXTTigers: Norris (1-0) will make his fifth appearance of the season and fourth start. Norris was on the disabled list from July 5-Aug. 2 with a strained oblique.Mariners: Wade LeBlanc (1-0) makes his sixth start since being acquired by the Mariners. Seattle is 5-1 in his starts.
