Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Giants 22, Jaguars 12-- Eli Manning was 4-14 passing, Ryan Nassib 19-35.

-- Patriots 26, Saints 24-- Garoppolo has thrown 63 passes in two games.

-- Rookie kicker Josh Lambo drilled a game-winning field goal that might've been good from 60-65 yards as the Chargers won 22-19 in Arizona.

-- Rookie QB Philip Sims looked sharp for the Cardinals; he bounced around some in college, but looked poised and in control last night

-- Minnesota kicker Blair Walsh might have the yips; he's already missed a PAT and a few field goals this summer.

-- Raiders' DB Charles Woodson is starting his 18th year in the NFL-- wow!!!

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday......

13) My #1 pet peeve with the NFL; teams don't have to suit up three QBs, so if they suit up two and one gets hurt early in a game, that ruins the quality of the game, since they cannot risk the #2 QB getting hurt. Happened tot he Texans couple of years ago and all they did the rest of the game was run the ball.

NFL teams are worth around $1B each; how about springing for a #3 QB?

12) This is going to happen in an NFL game this season, and I hope to God I'm in a casino when it does; Team A (-2.5) is down four points with 0:10 left- they score a TD with 0:03 left, go up two points, but instead of kicking the easy PAT to cover, they'll take a knee to guard against the PAT being blocked and run back for two points and a tie game. Hasn't happened in college ball, that I know of, but it will in the NFL.

11) Patriots 26, Saints 24-- New Orleans was up 21-0 in first half; they went for two three times, as both coaches managed the game like drunken sailors but since it was an exhibition game, no one cares. Just another reason not to bet exhibition games.

10) Pittsburgh Pirates are 52-19 in non-divisional games; if they keep up this pace, it would be the best winning %age in non-divisional games since 1969.

9) At the start of this season, ten of 30 MLB GMs either went to MIT, Amherst or an Ivy League school. Dave Dombrowski is really highly regarded-- he went to college at Western Michigan, a freakin' state school. How does he do his job every day?????

8) One aspect of new PAT rule; if there is a holding penalty on a PAT, it becomes a 43-yard attempt, which is anything but a gimme.

7) Johnny Cueto gave up seven runs in Fenway Park Friday night; you could almost see him mentally checking Boston off his list of potential free agent destinations.

6) White Sox 6, Mariners 3 (10)-- Seattle is unbelievably bad, considering its payroll this year is $123,225,843. Hawk Harrelson was thrashing their bullpen last night; the way he was talking, that came from the Mariners' TV/radio announcers.

5) In the 80's, Cubs had a backup catcher named Steve Swisher who hit nine homers at Wrigley Field; his son Nick has been a good major leaguer for over a decade-- he homered from both sides of the plate in the same game yesterday in Wrigley, but his Braves lost 9-7 to the Cubs, Atlanta's 21st loss in their last 23 road games.

4) Major leaguers who have come to the plate this season with the most runners on:
1) Carlos Santana, Clev-- 358
2) Todd Frazier, Cin-- 355
T3) Kendrys Morales, KC-- 346
T3) Eric Hosmer, KC-- 346

3) Major leaguers with 200+ PA who have driven in the highest %age of baserunners so far this season:
T1) Carlos Gomez (with Milwaukee), 21.3%
Gomez has knocked in 3 of 39 runners (7.7%) with the Astros.
T1) Chris Colabello, Tor, 21.3%
3) David Peralta, Ariz, 21.0%
4) Andrew McCutchen, Pitt, 20.7%
5) Caleb Joseph, Balt, 20.4%

2) How happy is CBS that Eldrick Woods is in contention in Greensboro today?

1) Wrigley Field is considered a national historical landmark; as a result, they're very limited to changes they can make to the structure itself. Ownership is doing its best to modernize Wrigley for players and fans alike, but it has been a slow process- they want to move the bullpens under the outfield bleachers and off the field, but they are being held up by the "historical landmark" stuff.

1a) Minnesota Vikings' play-by-play guy was brutal on kicker Blair Walsh last night; Walsh just signed a new contract and a bad night last night- the TV guy kept talking about it like his son wanted a tryout to take the guy's place. A little odd.

Sunday's NFL Week 2 preseason betting primer

The second week of the NFL preseason comes to a close with three games on the schedule on Sunday. From disastrous fields to disastrous offensive lines, here are the notes you need-to-know for Sunday's action on the gridiron.

Green Bay Packers at Pittsburgh Steelers (-2.5, 41)

* Packers' linebacker Clay Matthews has still yet to see live snaps this preseason and it does currently seem that it is unlikely he will Sunday. Defensive coordinator Dom Capers does not seem overly concerned though saying "With a guy like Clay, who's bright (and has) good football instincts, I like where he is in terms of being able to do what I ask him to do."

* The Steelers will trot out every healthy player in Sunday according to Mike Tomlin. The only regular starter that is expected to miss the game is linebacker Lawrence Timmons, who is dealing with turf toe.

St. Louis Rams at Tennessee Titans (-2, 38.5)

* The center position is still unsettled for the Rams. The three-way race between Tim Raines, Barrett Jones and Demetrius Rhaney saw Barnes get the start last week. Rhaney has spent most of the week at left guard with Roger Saffold nursing an injury as well.

* The Titans first-team offensive line looked shaky in Week 1 of the preseason and will be tested early in this one against the powerful Rams defensive line. There has been reports that te Titans have been connected to guard Evan Mathis is shore up their line.

Dallas Cowboys at San Francisco 49ers (-4, 40.5)

* There seems to be a chance that Tony Romo does not even see the field Sunday. The grass at Levi Stadium has been so bad that Romo will likely be limited if he plays at all according to Clarence Hill of the Dallas Star-Telegram.

* Levi Stadium has been an utter trainwreck this offseason. It has been so bad that the 49ers have only conducted three of their eight scheduled practices on their home turf due to the poor conditions. The field has also been freshly laid after the stadium hosted a Taylor Swift concert earlier this week.

Holt remains out for Red Sox

Boston Red Sox utility man Brock Holt was scratched with left oblique tightness roughly an hour before Saturday night's game against the Kansas City Royals at Fenway Park.

Holt was the scheduled starter at second base but was abruptly replaced by Josh Rutledge. It was the third straight missed game for Holt, who was given the first two games of Boston's series with Kansas City off because he was "banged up," according to Boston interim manager Torey Lovullo.

Holt, the Red Sox's only All-Star this year, is batting .287 with two home runs and 36 RBIs in 99 games.

MLB roundup: Marte's ninth-inning homer lifts Pirates past Giants

PITTSBURGH -- Starling Marte's two-out home run in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Pittsburgh Pirates a 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday.

Marte hit the first pitch from reliever George Kontos into the left-field bleachers for his 15th home run of the season and second walk-off homer of his career. The left fielder had two of the Pirates' four hits and extended his hitting streak to seven games.

The Giants tied the score 2-2 in the eighth when Matt Duffy scored on a two-out wild pitch by Joakim Soria.

Jung Ho Kang put the Pirates ahead 2-1 by hitting two long solo home runs to center field for the first multi-homer game in the major leagues. He broke up Mike Leake's no-hit bid in the fifth to tie the score and then connected off Hunter Strickland in the seventh.

Cubs 9, Braves 7

CHICAGO -- Miguel Montero and Jorge Soler hit back-to-back home runs in the eighth inning to propel Chicago past Atlanta.

Montero's 12th homer of the season, a solo shot off former Cubs reliever Edwin

Jackson, gave Chicago the lead.

Addison Russell and Anthony Rizzo also homered for the Cubs, who have won 18 of 22 and three straight against the Braves.

Nick Swisher homered twice -- from both sides of the plate -- for the Braves, who have lost six straight and 21 of 29.

Padres 8, Cardinals 0

SAN DIEGO -- Matt Kemp and Justin Upton each had a two-run hit in a seven-run seventh inning and Ian Kennedy pitched six shutout innings as San Diego defeated St. Louis.

The win was the Padres' fifth straight and ninth in the last 11 games, moving them to one game of .500 for the first time since they were 32-33 on June 14 -- the day before Bud Black was fired as manager.

Kemp's two-run single extended his hitting streak to 14 games. Upton followed with a two-run double. Rookie center fielder Travis Jankowski also had two RBIs in his second major league game. Jankowski and pinch-hitter Alexi Amarista each had two hits and a RBI in the seventh as the Padres sent 11 men to the plate and turned a 1-0 pitching duel into a rout.

Yankees 6, Indians 2

NEW YORK -- Luis Severino pitched six innings for his first career win and Brett Gardner and Brian McCann hit home runs in the first inning as New York defeated Cleveland.

In his fourth career start, Severino gave up a one-out home run to Francisco Lindor in the first and two other hits. Severino went six innings for the third straight start.

Astros 3, Dodgers 1

HOUSTON -- Scott Kazmir snapped a three-start losing skid as Houston made the most of their three hits in win over Los Angeles.

The Astros recorded three extra-base hits off Dodgers Zack Greinke, who fell to 13-3. It was his first loss since June 13 at San Diego. Jose Altuve finished 2-for-3 against Greinke, with a triple and a solo home run. Altuve scored twice.

Houston continued its torrid play at home, extending its streak to 12 series either won (10) or split (two). The Dodgers will attempt to avert the sweep with Clayton Kershaw on the mound in the finale on Sunday.

Rangers 5, Tigers 2

DETROIT -- Yovanni Gallardo pitched six-plus innings of eight-hit shut ball and Texas scored four runs in the third inning en route to a win over Detroit, which averted its second straight shutout loss when Ian Kinsler hit a three-run home run with two out in the ninth.

Texas' Rougned Odor hit his 10th home run with one out in the eighth off Guido Knudson, who was making his major league debut.

Detroit's Miguel Cabrera had a double plus a single his first two times up to give him five straight hits over two games, four of them doubles. He is now hitting .365.

Nationals 6, Brewers 1

WASHINGTON -- Joe Ross won the battle of rookie starters and Anthony Rendon had a double and homer as the Washington beat Milwaukee

The Nationals, who began the day five games back of the first-place New York Mets, won for just the third time in 11 games.

Ross, in his 10th career start, allowed one run in seven innings to get the win while Brewers starter Taylor Jungmann gave up a season-high five runs.

Phillies 4, Marlins 2

MIAMI -- Aaron Altherr and Darin Ruf hit consecutive homers in the ninth inning as the Philadelphia rallied to beat Miami.

It was the first time all season the Phillies have hit back-to-back homers.

The Phillies (49-74) have the worst record in the majors but are just one game behind the Marlins (50-73) in the National League East.

Twins 3, Orioles 2

BALTIMORE -- Byron Buxton picked a good time to get his first major-league RBI, lining a tiebreaking single to left with two outs in the seventh inning that gave Minnesota the win over Baltimore.

Buxton's single, which came off reliever Brad Brach, capped a two-run, seventh-inning rally against Orioles starter Chris Tillman and right-hander Brad Brach.

The Twins have won the first three games of this four-game series and are 6-0 vs. the Orioles this season.

Mets 14, Rockies 9

DENVER -- For the second straight game, New York tore into Colorado's starting pitching.

The victory enabled the Mets, who are 13-6 this month, to maintain their five-game lead over Washington in the National League East. The Rockies have lost 10 of their past 12 games, leaving them 6-14 this month.

Every member of the Mets' starting lineup had a least one hit as they piled up a season-high tying 21 hits. That output included nine doubles and a home run.

Diamondbacks 11, Reds 7

CINCINNATI -- Paul Goldschmidt hit a pair of two-run homers and Ender Inciarte added a solo shot on the game's first pitch, lifting Arizona to the win.

Goldschmidt hadn't homered since July 27 but went deep in the first inning against Anthony DeSclafani and again in the seventh against Pedro Villarreal for his seventh career multi-homer game. He finished 4-for-5 with four RBIs.

A.J. Pollock collected three more hits, making him 11-for-15 in the series.

Reds hoping to end losing streak Sunday

The Cincinnati Reds are hoping they can bring their eight game losing streak to an end at home Sunday afternoon in their series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Unfortunately the Reds are also on a seven game losing streak at the Great American Ball Park at the same time.

Despite the struggles, the Reds and starter Raisel Iglesias (3-4, 4.21 ERA) are currently -124 home favorites against Chase Anderson (5-5, 4.51 ERA) and the D-Backs.

Orioles can't figure out the Twins

The Baltimore Orioles will try to not only avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of the Minnesota Twins, but they will also hope to avoid their eighth consecutive loss at the hands of the Twins.

The Twins have actually handled the Orioles with ease, during their run of dominance the O's have been outscored 45-19.

Luckily for the Orioles, they are big -174 favorites when they turn to Kevin Gausman to try and end the skid, while the Twins will counter with Mike Pelfrey.

Kershaw to try and end Dodgers road woes

The Los Angeles Dodgers will turn to Clayton Kershaw to end their seven game road losing streak Sunday afternoon in Houston.

The Dodgers bats have gone silent away from home, scoring just 3.14 runs per game over those seven games.

So it'll be up to Kershaw and his 2.34 ERA to get the job done, going up against Lance McCullers and his respectable 3.14 ERA.

The Dodgers are currently -165 road favorites.

Blue Jays recall C Thole

The Toronto Blue Jays recalled catcher Josh Thole from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

Thole was sent down to the minors in early June after batting .269 in nine games for Toronto.

Thole has experience catching knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, who was scheduled to start Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels.

To clear room on the roster, first baseman Matt Hague was optioned to Triple-A.
