WASHINGTON -- The Washington Nationals recalled right-hander Drew Storen from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday and optioned fellow reliever Ryan Mattheus to their top farm club. The 26-year-old Storen was sent down on July 27 after going 3-2 with two saves and 5.95 ERA in 47 games. He had no record and a 5.68 ERA in six games with the Chiefs, but tossed 2 1-3 scoreless innings over his last three appearances in the minors. Storen had 43 saves in 2011, and then missed the first part of last season due to right elbow surgery. He came back in July and finished with four saves and a 2.37 ERA over 30 1-3 innings, but he blew a two-run lead in Game 5 of the NL division series against St. Louis, ending Washingtons season. Washington signed veteran closer Rafael Soriano during the off-season, moving Storen into a setup role. "The way I look at it, this whole year in general, this is kind of like opening day for me," Storen said. "I cant really control or change whats happened this year, but one thing I can do is really be effective here at the end and help these guys win." With Syracuse, Storen worked on changing his delivery to a more conventional leg kick and away from keeping the leg straight. "It was good to get back to throwing athletically and not have to think about it so much," Storen said. "I was getting to the point where I was thinking a little too much about what I needed to do mechanically instead of just lifting and throwing, and throwing strikes and attacking hitters." Mattheus, 29, had a 9.45 ERA in nine appearances since returning from a broken right hand that occurred when he hit a locker. He is 0-1 with a 6.26 ERA in 23 games overall. Manager Davey Johnson said Storen will move back into the setup role he shared with left-hander Tyler Clippard before he was sent down. "For us to win a bunch of games I need that late-inning stopper and Mattheus, since coming back, his command of his pitches hasnt been as sharp as they were prior to him slamming that locker," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said.

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford. http://www.authenticpadresprostore.com/padres-travis-wood-jersey/ . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay.

The 15th-ranked Canadian men lost the opening two games of their European tour: 19-15 to No. 17 Georgia and 21-20 to No. MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve does not do hyperbole. So if she agrees with the suggestion that her teams Game 4 victory in Los Angeles was one of the gutsiest wins shes been a part of with the Lynx, its not an overstatement.That victory kept the Lynx alive as they aim for their fourth title in six seasons. Minnesota meets Los Angeles on Thursday with the WNBA championship on the line in front of whats expected to be a sold-old Target Center for Game 5 (ESPN2, 8 p.m. ET).The Lynx dealt with foul trouble for defensive stalwart Rebekkah Brunson, and a very intense -- if marred by a few key mistakes -- effort from the Sparks to triumph 85-79 at Staples Center on Sunday and tie the WNBA Finals best-of-five series at 2-2.Natasha Howard came in to play important minutes in place of Brunson, who has primarily guarded Sparks center Candace Parker throughout the series. And Maya Moore, who was the game-high scorer with 31 points, also spent time defensively on Parker.We fortunate, I think, to get through it, Reeve said of the time spent on the bench by Brunson. I think Tashas minutes were extremely solid, and Maya gave us a different dimension that they hadnt really had to prepare for before. She was adequate, for sure, with post defense. I thought we handled it as well as we could.In this series between the teams with the two best records in the WNBA, weve seen a little of everything.Its been an emotional Finals, just the highs and the lows of both teams being so tightly matched, Moore said. You just feel the devastation of a loss, and the highs of a win. It takes a lot to get back to that place of competing with focus.But Minnesota is the franchise that has done that the most consistently over the past six seasons. A victory Thursday would give the Lynx their fourth championship, tying the Houston Comets record.The Lynx have been carrying around this historical goal all season, but it hasnt been a burden. They came into 2016 thinking that this could be the organizations best team, and that was the case through the regular season as the Lynx set a franchise record for wins (28-6).Now theyve reached the end of the line with one more winner-take-all game, and thee fundamentals are solidly in place -- and have been for years now.dddddddddddd This coaching staff and core group of players know what theyre doing.I think because of our preparation and how weve approached every game this season, we have the ability to do some great things in situations like this, Moore said. Nothings ever guaranteed. But I think we have enough experience, that understanding of what it takes to have a game where you have no regrets. We know how to strive for perfection on the big stage. And were looking forward to this challenge again.The Lynx went through a Game 5 just last year, in fact, after a back-and-fourth WNBA Finals series with Indiana. The Fevers offense, though, just seemed spent by that point, after theyd given all they had to win Game 4 and send the series back to Minnesota. The Lynx prevailed 69-52 at Target Center.Lynx center Sylvia Fowles, who was the MVP of that series, expects this Game 5 to be close.I think its going to be very gritty, said Fowles, who has been so key both with her rebounding and clogging up space inside that the Sparks post players want. Nothing is going to come easy. We have to do what we do well.We have this thing we call hot spots, and thats where other teams are at their best shooting. We just try to take them away from those spots, let them see traffic there a little bit.The Lynx were most dominant in this series in Game 2. They made defensive adjustments from their Game 1 loss and won 79-60, which tied for the Sparks lowest point total this season. The Lynx were able to hold league MVP Nneka Ogwumike to just six shots in Game 2, and force Parker to take a lot of her 12 shots in places she didnt prefer to take them.A defensive effort similar to that will make the Lynx very hard to beat.But I feel like even in Game 3, we had a good mindset, Lynx point guard Lindsay Whalen said of Minnesotas 92-75 loss last Friday, which was the game in which the Sparks were the most in control.Both teams are just fighting so hard. This series really has been what you want the Finals to be about.
