CLEVELAND -- There isnt much left for the White Sox to accomplish in a season that fizzled long ago.On Saturday night, though, they delayed Clevelands party plans.Jose Quintana pitched out of some early jams and Melky Cabrera drove in two runs as Chicago snapped a six-game losing streak with an 8-1 win over the Cleveland Indians, who missed a chance to lower their number for winning the AL Central to one.Cabrera and Jose Abreu hit RBI singles in the first off Cody Anderson (2-5), and Todd Frazier connected for his 39th homer in the sixth to lead the White Sox, who opened the season 23-10 but have gone just 50-71 since.We know where were at, but theres still guys going out there that have a lot of pride, manager Robin Ventura said. Were playing a very good team. You have some things to play for. Theyre going out there and doing it in a very professional way.Quintana (13-11) gave up one run in six innings and beat Cleveland for the second time in 11 days. He was in trouble in the first two innings as the Indians twice loaded the bases off him, but the left-hander gave up just one run and gained confidence as the game wore on.When you look at the score at the end, its a blowout game, Indians manager Terry Francona said. But we had some really good chances early and didnt do much with it, and with a good pitcher like Quintana, he found himself. We had his pitch count up a lot early but we managed one (run).The Indians committed three errors, threw two wild pitches and had a passed ball as their first Central championship since 2007 stayed just out of reach.Cleveland loaded the bases with one out in the first, but Quintana got Carlos Santana to hit into an inning-ending double play. The Indians had the bases full again in the second and appeared ready for a huge inning after Rajai Davis hit a one-out RBI single to right. But Coco Crisp got caught in a rundown for the second out and Quintana got Jason Kipnis to ground out.It was rough, Ventura said of Quintanas first two innings. Locating-wise was probably the biggest thing. You really didnt see him like that too often. He gritted through it. He has a lot of heart in him to keep battling like that.Quintana has already set a career-high for wins and hell finish with a winning record for the first time in three seasons. Hed trade it all to play in October.I dont like to talk about stats, said Quintana, who went over 200 innings for the fourth straight year. The goal here is to make the playoffs. We cant this year. Well try to get a good rest and come next year.TOUGH NIGHTWhite Sox catcher Alex Avila struck out all five times he came to the plate.OUT GOES FRAZIERFraziers 39 homers are the most for a Chicago player since Adam Dunn hit 41 in 2012. Frazier has already hit the most homers by a third baseman in franchise history.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: CF Adam Eaton will miss at least Chicagos next two games after he scarily crashed into the padded outfield wall Friday night. Eaton was shaken after hauling in Roberto Perezs drive. He stayed on the ground for several minutes and had to be helped to the dugout.If anybodys ever been in a car accident its kind of the same thing, said Eaton, who passed concussion tests. Youre kind of taking inventory of the body parts and making sure everything is back to where its supposed to be.UP NEXTWhite Sox: Carlos Rondon starts the clubs final road game of 2016. Hes 0-2 with a 12.00 ERA in his past two starts.Indians: Josh Tomlins role in the postseason remains unclear. He could help himself with an outing similar to his last start, when he allowed one run and five hits in 6 2/3 innings. Discount Air Max . The veteran safety was a starter for the Bengals from 2008-2012. He totaled 41 tackles and three interceptions while starting all but four of the 13 games he played last season.

Thats about all he can do right now, so hes trying not to think about when he might be able to play again for the Los Angeles Lakers. NEW YORK -- The `tweener lob Rafael Nadal somehow conjured up to get to match point was so spectacular, he was asked whether hed ever before hit a shot quite like that.Well, actually, yes, Nadal said, nodding and laughing. Not many times, but I remember one.This one certainly was memorable, providing quite a flourish at the end of a 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 victory over 47th-ranked Andrey Kuznetsov of Russia on Friday night that put Nadal back in the U.S. Opens fourth round for the first time since winning the 2013 title.The owner of 14 Grand Slam trophies, including two at Flushing Meadows, Nadal hadnt been to the fourth round at any major tournament since the 2015 French Open.This season, he lost in the first round of the Australian Open. Then he pulled out of the French Open before his third-round match because of a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist, an injury that forced him to withdraw from Wimbledon altogether and miss about 2+ months on tour in all.You need to be patient. You need to take your time, recover, work hard, Nadal said. Thats what I did. Thats all.Nadal said the wrist, which helps generate all of that heavy topspin on his uppercut of a lefty forehand, still feels pain -- but noted that its something that is not limiting my game now. Thats the most important thing.He said his forehand is improving, and hes particularly pleased to be more comfortable hitting that stroke down the line, whiich opens up space to allow him to hit it cross-court.dddddddddddd Against Kuznetsov, Nadal produced 15 of his 22 winners with forehands.But the shot everyone will talk about was not a forehand. Closing in on victory, Nadal raced toward the baseline to retrieve a lob hit by Kuznetsov. With his back to the net, Nadal lifted himself off the ground and flicked a lob of his own through his legs. His racket then slipped out of his hand, but he leaned over to grab it and eventually took that point.Afterward, Nadal screamed, punched the air and spread his arms wide, pumping his fists.You cannot practice that kind of shot, he said.Not everything went so perfectly for Nadal on this evening in Arthur Ashe Stadium. His level dipped in the second set, when he double-faulted five times and was broken twice.Still, he overcame that blip and came up with a strong close. Not only has he not lost a set through three rounds, but Nadal has dropped only 20 games so far.Its the fewest games hes lost en route to the fourth round at the U.S. Open.Next comes a matchup Sunday against 24th-seeded Lucas Pouille of France.I need to be ready for the match, Nadal said. I need to be ready to play my best if I want to keep going.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jersyes Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
