RIO DE JANEIRO -- The Americans never seem to lose the mens backstroke at the
Olympics.
Star Lotulelei Jersey .Ryan Murphy kept that
streak alive.Murphy, 21, completed a backstroke sweep with a victory Thursday
night in the 200 meters, extending his countrys dominance of the events that
dates to 1992.The Barcelona Games were the last time the United States lost a
mens backstroke final.Three days after winning the 100 back in Olympic record
time, Murphy touched first again in 1 minutes, 53.62 seconds.My goal was to win
one gold, Murphy said. That was a real breakthrough for me to be able to win
that one. The 100 back was an event that comes a little bit more natural. The
200 back is an event I really have to dig deep for, so this one means a little
bit more to me.Murphy became the third American man in the last five Olympics to
take both races. Aaron Peirsol pulled off the sweep at Athens in 2004, and Lenny
Krayzelburg claimed both golds at the 2000 Sydney Games.Australias Mitch Larkin
grabbed the silver Thursday in 1:53.96, just ahead of Russias Evgeny Rylov with
the bronze in 1:53.97.American?Jacob Pebley finished fifth.The Associate Press

. John Tavares, Thomas Vanek and Kyle Okposo were also being counted on to slow
down sizzling Rangers forward Rick Nash. That plan didnt go so well
early.SEATTLE - Felix Hernandez just wanted to throw a first-pitch strike.
Turned out to be exactly what Jose Reyes was looking for and started Seattles
ace toward his first loss since late May. "A lot of it was I fell behind since
the beginning," Hernandez said. "A leadoff homer; that was a tough game." Reyes
homered on the first pitch of the game, added an RBI single to cap Torontos big
fourth inning, and the Blue Jays handed Hernandez his first loss since May 25
with a 7-2 win over the Mariners on Tuesday. The Blue Jays battered Hernandez
(11-5) and knocked him out after just five innings, matching his shortest start
of the season. Hernandez was not sharp and when he missed, the Blue Jays took
advantage. "He wasnt getting a whole lot off the corners. It was a pretty tight
strike zone," Seattle acting manager Robby Thompson said. "When he missed, it
was out over the plate and he was hit." Hernandez remained stuck on 11 wins. In
his previous two starts, he was burned by the inability of Seattles bullpen to
hold a lead and get Hernandez his 12th victory. On Tuesday, Hernandez was at
fault early, giving up a homer to Reyes, but Seattles defence did him no
favours. The Mariners committed three errors that led to three unearned runs
while Hernandez was on the mound. Despite lasting just five innings, Hernandezs
ERA only rose from 2.30 to 2.39. Hernandez had not lost since May 25, a span of
12 starts. Hernandez didnt want to put any of the blame on the errors made
behind him. "Its part of the game. I made a couple of mistakes, fell behind a
lot," Hernandez said. "They capitalized and scored some runs." Josh Johnson
(2-8) pitched well with his potential spot in the rotation at stake. Johnson
threw five scoreless innings and won for the first time since June 23, snapping
a six-game losing streak. Reyes brought the huge contingent of Blue Jays fans to
their feet from the start. He lined Hernandezs first fastball of the night 399
feet into the seats in right for his eighth homer of the season. It was Reyes
18th career leadoff homer and first this season. For Hernandez, it was just the
second leadoff homer allowed in his career and a precursor to a tough night.
"Hes one of the best pitchers in the game," Reyes said. "I had that approach
before the game I was looking for a fastball right in the middle the first pitch
and I try to put my best swing and thats what happened.
Jordan Mills Jersey. " Toronto scored three
times in the fourth helped by two Seattle errors. Emilio Bonifacio had the big
hit with a two-out double into the gap in right-centre field. Bonifacios hit
came after three defensive breakdowns by Seattle: Kyle Seager committed his
second error of the night, shortstop Brad Miller threw wildly to second trying
to start a double play and Miller failed to hold the ball when tagging Brett
Lawrie on a stolen base. Reyes followed Bonifacio with an RBI single to cap the
big inning. Toronto then scored twice more in the fifth when Colby Rasmus
dropped an RBI single on a two-out, 0-2 pitch from Hernandez. That was followed
by Lawries RBI single and a 6-0 lead. "Anytime you give these offensive minded
clubs — the Red Sox, Baltimore and these guys here — extra outs, its not a good
thing," Thompson said. "It made Felix work a little harder and his pitch count
got up." Seattles ugly night defensively was capped in the seventh when Raul
Ibanez committed the Mariners fourth error spiking an attempted throw from left
field into the ground just a few feet in front of him and allowing Jose Bautista
to score Torontos seventh run. Torontos offensive output made it an easy night
for Johnson, who in his previous four starts had an ERA of 14.06, but was
masterful against the Mariners. After getting out of a jam in the first, Seattle
never got a runner to third base until the seventh on Millers two-run triple.
"Hes got a lively fastball, good (sinker) and he was mixing in the curve ball
and we were just chasing it," Miller said. "Personally, I chased a couple. Just
a good mix. Then they brought in their bullpen and we just couldnt get anything
going." Notes: Rasmus made a highlight catch robbing Morales of a potential home
run in the sixth inning pulling in a deep drive to centre field. ... Seattle
optioned closer Tom Wilhelmsen to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday in the hopes he can
rediscover the command of his fastball. Seattle recalled reliever Carter Capps
to take Wilhelmsens spot. Seattle also released OF Jason Bay, who was designated
for assignment on July 29. ... Texas Ian Kinsler is the only other batter to hit
a leadoff homer off Hernandez. ... The four errors by Seattle were its most
since committing six vs. the Angels in September 2011.
