SEATTLE -- For the attention Seattle has received this season for its power surge, its the inability to score runs through more traditional methods that has led to the Mariners slow start to the second half of the season.The Mariners again failed in two key situations with runners in scoring position on Tuesday night, stumbling to a 6-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox despite Robinson Canos 22nd home run of the season.While Cano was responsible for all of Seattles offense, he was also guilty of being unable to come through with a clutch two-out hit, striking out with runners on the corners in the fifth inning and the game tied 1-1.Do a better job with men in scoring position, I guess, Cano said. Lately, were only scoring with homers, we havent gotten lately a hit to get an RBI.Seattle needed an unlikely three-run homer from Adam Lind to win the opener of the series with the White Sox and Canos shot off Chicago starter Jose Quintana in the fourth inning pulled the Mariners even at 1-1.But Quintana got the better of Cano an inning later in a key situation and also worked out of a bases loaded jam in the sixth. Quintana gave up a leadoff single to Nelson Cruz and loaded the bases after a walk to Chris Iannetta and hitting Leonys Martin on the elbow with two outs in the sixth. Quintana fell behind to Daniel Robertson, but got the young outfielder to fly out to center to end the threat.A couple of innings I was in trouble, but I tried to make (the) critical pitch and get out of trouble, Quintana said.Quintana (8-8) allowed six hits in six innings and struck out seven. Hes won his last three starts after going 0-7 over a span of nine starts from the middle of May until the end of June.Hes good. He moves the ball well around the plate -- hes on the edges, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. His stuff was good. We had some chances, but we just couldnt get the big two-out hit.Seattle got a solid performance from Wade Miley, but the lefty lost his fifth straight start, his last win coming on June 7. It was a better performance than his last start before the All-Star break where Miley (6-7) allowed 10 hits and four runs against Kansas City.Melky Cabrera snapped the 1-1 tie with a solo home run leading off the seventh and J.B. Shuck added an RBI single later in the inning off reliever Tom Wilhelmsen. Miley gave up three runs and struck out four, also giving up Brett Lawries solo home run in the second inning.Definitely felt a whole lot better, a lot more comfortable. Felt like I was more in rhythm, Miley said. It was really two mistakes. Both of them got hit in the seats. Two hanging curveballs, just got to get those pitches down. For the most part I felt like I threw the ball well. Thats it, two mistakes.BULLPEN ISSUEJoaquin Benoit took over in the ninth with Seattle trailing 3-1, but quickly saw Chicagos lead expand. Benoit walked the leadoff hitter then gave up a two-run homer to Todd Frazier, his 27th. Benoit was charged with three runs and recorded just two outs, and believes his issue is mechanical in his delivery.Mechanics get you to walk people and to give up long balls. Its something that I have to work on. Hopefully when I get into the meaningful games, those things dont happen, he said.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: C Alex Avila (hamstring) has started his rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. Avila was 1 for 2 with a double on Tuesday.Mariners: SS Ketel Marte was out of the lineup for the second straight day with illness. Servais was hopeful Marte would be able to get back in the lineup on Wednesday.UP NEXTWhite Sox: Miguel Gonzalez (2-5) makes his 14th start of the season. Gonzalez is just 1-2 over his last three starts but has a 2.25 ERA during that time.Mariners: Felix Hernandez (4-4) makes his first start since May 27 after landing on the DL with a calf injury. Hernandez had two rehab starts in the minors before returning to the rotation. Wholesale China Jerseys . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. China Jerseys . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. http://www.chinanfljerseyscheaponline.com/ . - Oakland Raiders running back Rashad Jennings was speaking to a group of local high school students earlier this week when the conversation turned to the importance of being prepared when opportunities in life arise. Cheap China Jerseys . Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots on Saturday in the Oklahoma City Barons 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford Heat. The Oilers signed Bryzgalov to a one-year $2 million contract last Friday after shedding payroll by dealing defenceman Ladislav Smid to the Flames. RIO DE JANEIRO -- When Usain Bolt stepped out onto the track for the 100 meter final on Sunday night, fans started to chant, Bolt! Bolt! Bolt! One held up a carved figurine of him. After the race, those near Bolt on the edge of the track begged for selfies. Photographers waited eagerly for him to perform his famed lightning bolt salute.And why wouldnt there be this sort of reaction? Bolt is one of the biggest names in the entire world of sports. He is the world-record holder in the 100, and his victory on Sunday gave him three gold medals in the event, something no previous Olympian had ever done. He has won seven golds total and could win another two in the 200 and the 4x100 relay, which would be as many as Carl Lewis won.Bolt turns 30 years old in a week, however. His winning time of 9.81 was considerably shy of his world record 9.58. He said the short turnaround between the semifinal and the final slowed him down, which is something that happens as you age. He will be nearly 34 by the time the Tokyo Olympics roll around. And while 34-year-old Justin Gatlin became the oldest medalist in the 100 on Sunday night, it seems unlikely that Bolt will do that in 2020.You never know with Bolt, but as Canadian bronze medalist Andre De Grasse said, This is probably going to be the last Olympics for Usain and Gatlin.Bolt has been an extraordinary athlete to watch, with his great speed, height, long strides and flamboyant personality. He has essentially been the Michael Phelps of track since the 2008 Olympics, only much more entertaining.After he finishes these Olympics, it is time to begin looking to the future -- and who might be the next Bolt.Well, not the next Bolt, but the next great sprinters to follow.It will be hard to be exactly like me, but you just need to work hard, Bolt said. Its all about determination and what you want. For me, I worked for the work. You just push yourself in everything you do.De Grasse is one of those who could push himself to the top. He is 21 years old. He used to be a basketball player. But his high school dropped basketball during his senior year, and he shifted to track, wwhere he quickly rose as a sprinter.dddddddddddd He won the 100 and 200 at last summers Pan Am Games, and on Sunday, he became the first Canadian to medal in an Olympic sprint since Donovan Bailey in 1996.De Grasse and Bolt hugged after the race, and De Grasse said he would like to race against Bolt as many times as possible before the legend retires. He also said he would like to one day be a gold medalist, as well.Im always ready for the challenge, De Grasse said. This is my first Olympics, and Im happy I even got in the podium. Ive had an up-and-down season. Ive battled a couple injuries. But its a great feeling right now.Then there is U.S. sprinter Trayvon Bromell, who recently turned 21 and is young enough that he says he doesnt even recall Gatlin winning gold at the 2004 Olympics. He did not have a great race on Sunday, finishing last with a time of 10.06, but he was dealing with an Achilles injury that was so sore he said he could barely walk earlier in the day and might require surgery when he returns home. Still, he has one of the fastest times in the world this year. He also has overcome some incredibly difficult hardships, including living in poverty and several knee injuries.If you know where I came from, you would understand why Im so hungry to get where I am now, Bromell said. I came from the bottom. Most people cant say that. I wear my emotions on my sleeve. All my tattoos show what Ive been through, the bad neighborhood and the life that I lived. I fought through my neighborhood to get where Im at.Thats where my mindset comes from. Im hungry to be great. Ive got to be an example for these little kids. I had to get out of the street. Im not here to be a big-time champion. Im here to set an example.Just as Bolt has done. Bolt has inspired kids worldwide to take up sprinting and try to do what he has done. No one likely will match him, but you never know in sports. After all, at one point, Bolt was just a young kid with nothing but promise and determination.
