DETROIT -- Even when hes behind in the count, Victor Martinez is a tough hitter to face these days. Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey . "You cant set Victor Martinez up -- hes just too good at getting the barrel to the ball," Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. "I dont think it matters what pitch you throw, hes generally going to find a way to do it." Martinez hit a solo homer in sixth inning and Miguel Cabrera also went deep for the Tigers, who won their eighth straight game Wednesday night, 3-2 over the Houston Astros. Martinezs homer came on an 0-2 pitch, when Astros starter Brad Peacock tried to throw a high fastball past the designated hitter. "I have no idea how Victor Martinez even hit that pitch," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "That was up in his eyes and, he not only got a bat on it, he knocked it out of the park." Martinez extended his hitting streak to 10 games, and Rick Porcello (5-1) allowed two runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings for the surging Tigers, who remained five games ahead of the second-place Chicago White Sox in the AL Central. Porcello struck out five and walked two. Even Detroits maligned bullpen looked impressive Wednesday. Joba Chamberlain got four outs in relief, striking out the side in the eighth. Joe Nathan pitched the ninth for his seventh save in nine chances. He struck out two, getting Matt Dominguez swinging with a man on third to preserve the win. Houston has lost five straight and seven of eight. Peacock (0-3) allowed three runs and four hits in 6 2-3 innings. He struck out four and walked four. After a slow start, Cabrera is again swinging the bat with authority for the Tigers. After homering in a four-hit, four-RBI performance Tuesday night, he stepped to the plate with a man on Wednesday and lifted a drive to deep right. Houstons George Springer tried valiantly to make the catch at the wall, but the ball nicked off his glove and went over, and the outfielder fell to the ground. It was Cabreras fourth homer of the year. Porcello allowed a run in the third when Marwin Gonzalez doubled and eventually scored on Dexter Fowlers groundout, but the Detroit infield turned double plays in the fifth and sixth to help the 25-year-old right-hander. In the fifth, Gonzalez was on first and took off toward second when Jose Altuve hit a grounder up the middle. Detroit second baseman Ian Kinsler, in the area because of the steal attempt, simply picked up the ball, stepped on the bag and threw to first for the double play. Martinez homered to right to make it 3-1. It was his sixth home run of the season, and hes now hitting .318 with only five strikeouts all year. With two strikes on him, Martinez was ready for a fastball. "I was looking high fastball," Martinez said. "As soon as I saw it, I was making sure that I get on top." Houston answered with a run in the seventh, chasing Porcello. Marc Krauss hit a two-out double, Dominguez followed with a single, and Gonzalez singled to drive in Krauss. Chamberlain came on and retired Altuve with men on first and second to end that threat. The big reliever then struck out three in the eighth. "Brad was the first one on the stairs and said, You got the eighth," Chamberlain said. "I figured after we got out of the (seventh) that was going to be the case. Just prepare, look up and see whos going to be coming up for their lineup, and kind of a mental plan of what you want to do. It worked out." Nathan entered in the ninth and allowed a two-out walk to Krauss. Pinch-runner Jonathan Villar stole second and third, but Dominguez went down swinging to end it.

"Youre not really spending time to sit back and analyze what your competitions doing and things like that," Anthopoulos said. "Youre so focused on what were trying to get done." Ultimately, while the landscape around them changed with trades both major and minor, the Blue Jays did nothing before Thursdays non-waiver deadline. Jaire Alexander Jersey .

Balotelli was out at dinner with his brother Enoch and came home to discover he had been burgled. The car was later found abandoned. Balotelli wrote Saturday on Twitter: "I feel empty! No emotions .Two late misplays cost the Winnipeg Goldeyes on Saturday night. Centre fielder Reggie Abercrombie misplayed a line drive in the top of the ninth that led to a triple and then catcher Luis Alen dropped a perfect throw to the plate from left fielder Donnie Webb that might have stopped the winning run from scoring, as the Goldeyes were beaten 10-9 by the Gary Southshore RailCats in a slugfest at Shaw Park. Despite two solo homers by Alen and a solo shot each by Casey Haerther and Jake Blackwood, the Goldeyes couldnt hold an early 5-1 lead and lost their fifth straight game at home. With the loss, the Goldeyes fell to 34-19 on the season, but are still in first place in the American Associations North Division, 5 1/2 games ahead of the second-place St. Paul Saints. “We made some mistakes tonight and you cant make mistakes against a team thats playing as well as that Gary club is playing right now,” said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney. “We didnt get two bunts down late in the game. That doesnt mean we would have scored on either of those situations, but it shows we werent executing and you have to execute against Gary.” This was a wild one. Gary scored 10 runs on 19 hits, while the Goldeyes managed nine runs on 16 hits. Besides the four solo homers hit by the Goldeyes, catcher Craig Maddux hit one for Gary. “The hitters had some better at bats for us tonight,” said Forney. “Thats a good sign. And our bullpen kept us in the game and gave us a chance to win. Too bad Ethan (starter Hollingsworth) just wasnt on top oof his game tonight. Tramon Williams Jersey. Tomorrow well have to get a good outing from Sal (starter Chris Salamida). We need him to go deep and work a lot of innings for us.” The Goldeyes scored two in the first and three in the second and had a 5-1 lead, but Gary battled back despite the fact Winnipeg scored a run in both the third and fourth innings. The Goldeyes were ahead 7-5 in the top of the fifth when Gary scored four times to take a 9-7 lead. The visitors never trailed again. Luis Alen went four-for-four with two homers, two runs scored and three driven in to lead the Goldeyes attack while three other Fish had three-hit games: Jake Blackwood went three-for-four, with a homer, two runs scored and one driven in; Tyler Kuhn went three-for-five with two runs scored and one driven in; and Josh Mazzola went three-for-five with a run scored and one driven in. Casey Haerther also had a solid night, going two-for-five with a homer a run scored and three RBI. Haerther continues to lead the league in hitting with a .404 average. Reliever Kevin Brahney (4-1, 4.24 ERA) got the win for the RailCat,s while hard luck Chris Kissock (0-2, 2.96 ERA) suffered the loss. Kissock was tagged with the winning run even though his defense let him down in the ninth. James Parr (7.88 ERA) got the save for Gary. The Goldeyes and RailCats will play the final game of this three-game series on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 at Shaw Park. Chris Salamida (3-3, 4.26 ERA) will get the start for Winnipeg, while Morgan Coombs (4-4, 4.60 ERA) will take to the bump for Gary.
