BALTIMORE -- The Tampa Bay Rays dont seem to mind being behind late in the game. In fact, theyre becoming quite adept at staging stirring rallies. Matt Joyce hit a go-ahead two-run double in a six-run ninth inning that lifted the Rays to a 10-6 victory over the Orioles on Saturday, ending Baltimores franchise-record streak of 109 straight wins when leading after seven innings. "Thats kind of been our identity from the beginning of the year," Rays third baseman Evan Longoria said. "Weve really done a good job throughout the game of continuing to tack on runs, and even when weve been down early in games, finding a way to put together good at-bats and score runs." Joyce also homered and finished 3 for 5 with five RBIs for the Rays, who posted a season-best third straight road victory, all of them come-from-behind wins. "We believe in each other, and then youre able to do those things," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "If you stop believing, if you dont think it cant happen, then it never will. If you think it can happen, then it shall. And thats pretty much what this groups been about." But this one came against a closer that had been virtually unbeatable until this week and a team thats been hard to overcome when taking a lead to the eighth. "Their track record after seven innings has spoken for itself," Longoria said. "Theyve been really good late in the game. And Jim Johnson has been as good as they come. To be able to get to him and then tack a couple more on and be able to win a game like that, especially here in this hostile environment, is really big." Trailing 6-4, Kelly Johnson hit a one-out homer off the Orioles Jim Johnson (1-4), whose club-record streak of 35 straight saves ended Tuesday. Johnson then loaded the bases on two walks and a hit before Joyce hit a two-run double to the right-centre gap for a 7-6 lead. Ben Zobrist followed with a two-run double off Darren ODay, who later issued a bases-loaded walk to Luke Scott. After two straight blown saves, Johnson wasnt questioning himself or talking about a slump. In fact, he knew exactly what went wrong and vowed to fix it. "Not getting strike one is a good place to start," Johnson said. "Pitching behind, just not throwing quality pitches. It kind of snowballed back and didnt obviously make the pitch I needed to. Its just one of those days where it just didnt work." Adam Jones and Chris Davis homered for the Orioles, who have lost a season-high four straight. "Were not clicking great right now, but unfortunately you go through little spells in a season like we play," Baltimore left fielder Nate McLouth said. "Like I said, theres no sense of sitting here and beating yourselves up about it. Wipe it clean and try to get it done tomorrow." Alex Torres (1-0) worked four hitless innings for the victory. The Orioles sent 10 men to the plate in the first inning and took a 4-0 lead against Roberto Hernandez. McLouth led off with a single, moved to second on a groundout and scored when Nick Markakis doubled over the head of Joyce. Jones then ripped a line drive homer to left off an 0-2 pitch and Davis followed with a shot to left-centre. Jair Jurrjens, whose contract was purchased before the game from Triple-A Norfolk, retired the first seven hitters he faced before allowing successive doubles to Jose Molina and Yunel Escobar. Molinas ball bounced off the top of the wall in centre, prompting Maddon to seek a video review, which upheld the original call. Later in the third, Joyce hit a two-run homer onto the flag court in right field, his seventh of the season, cutting the deficit to 4-3. Hernandez departed after hitting Davis with a pitch to lead off the bottom of the third. The right-hander allowed five runs and eight hits in two-plus innings, with nine of the 14 batters he faced reaching base. Reliever Cesar Ramos struck out Matt Wieters swinging, but gave up a run-scoring double to J.J. Hardy for a 5-3 Orioles lead. In the fourth, McLouth led off with a single, stole second, moved to third on Markakis single to centre and scored on Jones broken-bat fielders choice grounder. The Rays got within 6-4 in the fifth, but lost Molina in the process. Molina pulled up with a tight left hamstring after a leadoff double and was replaced by Jose Lobaton, who scored on Joyces two-out double. Jurrjens gave up four runs and six hits -- all for extra bases -- over five innings. NOTES: After the game, the Orioles optioned 2B Ryan Flaherty to Norfolk.

There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me.

Cheap Ducks Jerseys .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week. Rio -- Sania Mirzas teary eyes have just stared back at me. She does not want to be there, answering questions, digging for reasons to explain the defeat that ends her medal hopes.It has just gone half past one in Rio. Earlier in the morning, I scramble into the badminton arena in a desperate rush, only to miss the last bit of Saina Nehwals shock capitulation. She points to her heavily strapped knee and glumly exits from the facility.Wretched. Wretched. Wretched.I am at my first Olympics and I have not seen an Indian medal yet. I have seen heartbreak by the bucketful. The Abhinav Bindra near miss. The Gagan Narang implosion. The Jitu Rai stumble. The nearly there Archery girls. Today, I miss watching the hockey boys being packed off. There is just one boxer standing.Wretched. Wretched. Wretched.Look for the arena with the pink roof.Volunteers at Olympic park in Rio smile easily. They are happy to help. I am snaking my way through a stream of people towards the Gymnastics complex. I see some Swiss people raucously celebrating. One of theirs must have won a medal somewhere, I guess.Blah.My Olympics is following a consistent narrative. No medal. No joy. Little morsels of celebratory stuff, but it is turning out to be all just the same.Wretched.Gymnastics is a showpiece event at the Olympics. Tickets are priced higher than most other events. It is contested in a monstrously large arena with a ridiculously high ceiling. The flags of the competing nations in Gymnastics flutter gently off the ceiling.A journalist colleague starts to count them. I learn that 60 countries are represented by 196 athletes in the 16 events here, the grandest stage in Gymnastics. I photograph the Tri-colour at the extreme end. A 23-year-old girl from Agartala has created this space for it. She is the only Indian here. One in 196.The arena is throbbing as I make my way up towards the media seating. Two Brazilian gymnasts have won silver and bronze in the Mens floor exercise finals. There are tears and hugs. Liquid emotion is the precursor to what we have come to see. This girl, an inch short of five feet tall, is the first Indian gymnast to qualify in 52 years for an Olympics, man or woman.On the official literature of the Olympics, they describe the sport as Artistic Gymnastics. Colleague Sharda Ugra describes here why that is. As the clock ticks over to 2:47pm local time, eight women march elegantly out. An American, a Russian, a Chinese, a Swiss, a North Korean, an Uzbek, a Canadian and the girl from India.There are innocent smiles and graceful waves as they are introduced. We are all friends here, lets contest for an Olympic medal, but it is not really a fight, is it? Artistic Gymnastics, remember?Dipa Karmakar is designated as the sixth jumper. This order is decided randomly. The competition begins and I watch five girls sprint up to complete unreal contortions mid-air before landing. Some do it better than others. They do this twice each and the cumulative scores pop up on the big screen as well as in little boxes on my computer in the official scoresheet.Her time comes and Dipa is on top of her mark. She bursts off in a phalanx of energy and her first vault is what they call the Zamolodchikova. I look up, and they have scored it at 14.866.Not bad. But not awesome.And now the Produnova. As pointed out by a journalist, if Sushil Kumar introduced the Repechage to Indian sports fans at the Beijing Games in 2008, Dipa can claim credit for the Produnova making its way into our lexicon. I ask the Gold medalist Simone Biles later what it is about Dipa that impresses her: Well, I would never attempt the things she does.On Saturday, Dipas coach Bisweshwar?Nandi tells me Dipa is now comfortable executing it. Fun fact, worth repeating - only five women in the world have successfully landed the Produnova.Slow clap. The announncer is reminding a packed stadium that this is the first Indian ever in a Gymnastics Olympic final.dddddddddddd I am standing now, the nerves are shot.Whizzzzz. She boomerangs off. The Produnova is unleashed. Coach Bisweshwar Nandi would tell me later that the decision to keep her signature jump as the second one was taken because Dipa traditionally does a better first jump. By flipping it around, he wanted to maximise her score.Nandi is the tactician, Dipa the executioner. Dipa nails it and the audience swoons. I go, Wowwwww. You can hear the applause all the way from Agartala.And then we wait for what seems like an eternity. Dipas second vault takes the longest to adjudge of all the competitors. Tick tock. And then, activity on my computer screen and the big screen in front.Difficulty - 7.00Execution- 8.266The Produnova delivers 15.266. Her cumulative score is 15.066. Sweaty palms are doing the calculations. And then confirmation.Two girls left in the final. Dipa is in second spot. One of them has to make an error or not do their vaults as well as Dipa, and Indias first medal at Rio will be delivered courtesy a Gymnast. Not a shooter. Not a boxer. Not a tennis player. There is pandemonium in the hall, but Dipa is serene in her acknowledgment of generous applause the crowd gives her.I told Nandi sir then itself that I will come fourth, she tells me later. In this cauldron of emotion, she has done the math. She knows the incredible Biles is to come. And she knows Maria Paseka of Russia, who is up next, will not slip up.There is a tweeting tornado back home in India where it is nearing midnight. Dipa knows she wont leave Rio with a medal, yet she is smiling.Paseka and Biles finish things off and the podium places are determined. Yet, even as the scoresheet settles, there is an outburst of glee.I start to cry, quietly in my corner so they would not call me a wuss. But you know what this girl has done. She has lifted a rapidly descending pall of gloom. She has shut up social media know-it-alls taking pot shots at her fellow athletes.She has made the unreal believable. Not long back, two warring Gymnastics federations - not an unusual occurrence in India - demanded that Dipa compete at their nationals or else she cant go to Rio for a Test event. The good people at Go Sports foundation urged the Sports Authority of India to sort the mess.Somehow, they did. Dipa won the gold at that Test event, qualified for the Olympics, and returned to Rio to do this.At the mixed zone, where journalists are allowed in to interact with the athletes, a swarm of quote seekers hunt Dipa. She is cheery and upbeat. A veteran among us asks, Dipa, you do know that great athletes like PT Usha and Milkha Singh have finished fourth at Olympics before?Arreeey sir, she chuckles. These are very big names. Please dont compare me with them.Dipa, you are my hero, tweets Abhinav Bindra.Not just yours, Abhinav. On this day she contributes to uplifting the happiness quotient of a nation.Grandiose as that sounds, her two leaps tug at the hearts of the biggest cynics. Surely, medals alone are not a measure of accomplishments. Today, Dipa reminds her audience what sport must essentially be - a pursuit of victory yes, but also a celebration of the human spirit.In that auditorium, she is a darling. Beyond it, she is a hero. Giulia Steingruber of Switzerland, who clinches bronze records a score of 15.216. Dipa loses out by 0.15 points. Almost every other time, this sort of outcome has led to gasps of despair. Not today. It does not matter.Can she win a medal in Tokyo in 2020?, I ask Biles in the media scrum later.Sure, she chimes. You can achieve anything you put your mind to.That bit, Dipa already knows.
