MILWAUKEE -- Tyler Thornburg, a top prospect for the Brewers coming into this season, picked up his first major-league victory by throwing two scoreless innings of relief Saturday night. He was rewarded after the game with a plane ticket back to the minors. Jean Segura homered and Jonathan Lucroy hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the sixth inning, lifting the Brewers to a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. "Im happy to get my first win, not happy to go down," Thornburg said after being told he was being optioned to Triple-A Nashville after a four-day stint with the Brewers. Reliever Jim Henderson, who was the teams closer when he was placed on the disabled list with a right hamstring injury on May 25, will be activated for Sundays game. "I kind of figured it was coming," Thornburg said. "I knew a move had to be made, especially with the off-days coming up. You dont really need a long guy in there." Thornburg (1-0) joined the team Wednesday despite going 0-7 with a 6.75 ERA in 12 starts for Triple-A Nashville. He also pitched two scoreless innings on Wednesday against Oakland. "Things really havent been going my way down there," Thornburg said of his time in Nashville. "Soft hit balls are hits. Hard hit balls are hits." Thornburg, who pitched in eight games for the Brewers in 2012, said he hoped his short time in Milwaukee would turn around his season. "Im just fortunate to come up here and things did go my way a little bit," he said. "For the most part I was really happy to get in a game that was close up here, where you could get a little adrenaline pumping and get locked in." Francisco Rodriguez pitched the ninth for his fourth save in four chances and 298th career save. Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said he may continue to use him as the teams closer for awhile, and use Henderson in a setup role, in an effort to get Rodriguez his milestone 300th save. Domonic Brown hit his NL-leading 19th home run, and had a two-run double in the eighth to account for all of the Phillies runs. With the score tied 1-1, the Brewers strung together four consecutive hits in the sixth off Kyle Kendrick (6-4) to score two runs and take the lead for good. Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez each singled, and Lucroy doubled to the base of the left-field wall, scoring Braun and giving the Brewers a 2-1 lead. Carlos Gomez then singled to left, driving in Ramirez to make it 3-1. Lucroy came into the game batting .253 after hitting .320 a year ago, but has been good in clutch situations. He was in a 3-for-18 slump before hitting the go-ahead double, but is batting .327 with 25 RBIs with runners in scoring position. "Four (hits) in a row is what you want in an offence, especially with the heart of the order right there getting the job done," Lucroy said. Kendrick allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six in six innings. "They strung together some hits there but I was able to hold them to them to minimal damage," he said. The Phillies said catcher Erik Kratz injured his left knee while running to first in the ninth on a groundout. Manager Charlie Manuel said Kratz felt something pop in his knee and would have the knee examined. The Brewers made it 4-1 in the seventh when Brauns single scored Segura from third off Michael Stutes. The Phillies scored twice in the eighth off Brandon Kintzler. Michael Young, who had three singles, and Kevin Frandsen each singled. Kintzler then struck out both Jimmy Rollins and Delmon Young, but Brown hit a floating double down the left-field line to score both runners and pull the Phillies within 4-3. Pinch-hitter Ryan Howard then hit a one-hopper back to Kintzler to end the threat. The Phillies also threatened in the top of the sixth off Thornburg, but didnt score despite opening the inning with runners at second and third. The right-hander allowed two hits while striking out two in two innings. Milwaukee starter Tom Gorzelanny, making a spot start, allowed only one run on five hits while striking out three in four innings. Brown hit a 1-1 pitch into the Phillies bullpen in right field to make it 1-0 in the second. Segura hit a 1-1 pitch into the Brewers bullpen in left field to tie it 1-1 in the third. Braun had three singles and is 6 for 11 in the series. NOTES: RHP Carlos Zambrano allowed only one run and three walks while striking out seven for Double-A Reading on Saturday night. He signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies last month. ... RHP Hiram Burgos (right shoulder impingement) will make a rehab start for Single-A Appleton on Monday. ... The Phillies have homered in 13 consecutive games. Greg Holland Jersey .

I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. Tony Wolters Jersey . Rinne played two periods in his first game since left hip surgery in early May. Gabriel Bourque scored 3:07 into the second period and Austin Watson tallied 5:15 later for Nashville.After defeat to West Brom, Manchester United are down in sixth in the Premier League, three points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City, who have a game in hand. Can Louis van Gaals men close the gap to qualify for the Champions League? United have nine games remaining this season and Van Gaal told Sky Sports his team need 27 points. But how high can they finish? We take a look at their prospects… Premier League top six 2015/16 Position W D L GD Pts Leicester 17 9 3 21 60 Tottenham 15 10 4 27 55 Arsenal 15 7 7 16 52 Man City 15 5 8 21 50 West Ham 13 10 6 12 49 Man Utd 13 8 8 10 47 Back-to-back Premier League wins over Arsenal and Watford launched United back into the race for the top four but the fact remains that, after losing at West Brom, United have taken just 47 points from their first 29 games of the season. Nine consecutive wins would put them on 74 points, but if they continue at the same rate, they will finish the season on 62.That total would be nine points lower than their tally in 2014/15, when it only would have been enough for a sixth-placed finish. It might be a different story this season given the struggles of the Premier Leagues big sides, but Van Gaal will still be hoping for considerable improvement. Salomon Rondon scored WBAs winner against Manchester United Remaining fixturesSo what are Uniteds chances of bouncing back from their disappointment at the Hawthorns? On paper, their run-in looks tricky. The Red Devils still have to travel to Man City, Tottenham and West Ham, and they also face potentially difficult home clashes against Everton and leaders Leicester. Average position of remaining Premier League opponents Team Avg position of opponents Man Utd 10.dddddddddddd1 Man City 11.4 Tottenham 11.5 Leicester 12.1 Arsenal 12.7 The average position of their remaining opponents (10.1) is higher than any of the top four, but on the plus side their fixtures throw up plenty of opportunities to close the gap on the teams above them. Marcus Rashford and Juan Mata celebrate during Uniteds win over Arsenal More ominously, however, is that United took just 13 points from a possible 27 in the reverse fixtures of their remaining games - winning three, drawing four and losing two. Repeat results would see them finish the season on just 60 points.Potential fixture worry?Another potential issue facing United is fixture congestion. Van Gaals side face Liverpool in the next round of the Europa League and host West Ham in the FA Cup quarter-finals over the next fortnight, meaning they could have as many as 11 cup games to play as well as their remaining Premier League games before the season is out. Potential remaining games (including possible FA Cup replays) Team Potential remaining games Leicester 9 Tottenham 16 Man City 16 Arsenal 20 Man Utd 20 Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City also have domestic and European commitments to consider, but Leicester have a clear run in the league having been knocked out of the FA Cup earlier this season.Injury issuesA hectic fixture list could take its toll on Uniteds depleted squad. Their injury crisis has forced Van Gaal to promote youngsters from their academy in recent weeks, and according to Physio Room they currently have nine first-team players out injured. Wayne Rooney is sidelined with a knee injury The number of absentees limits Van Gaals options when it comes to squad rotation, so hell need the likes of Wayne Rooney, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Phil Jones to recover as quickly as possible.ConclusionThere are plenty of obstacles facing United in the final months of the season and their task has been made tougher by defeat at West Brom. They can barely afford any more slip-ups. United must deliver more big wins against their closest rivals to boost their chances. Where do you think Manchester United will finish?
