Cheap Lebrons For Sale .The pair showcased the skills that got them here Saturday night, combining for four hits and five RBI to help Houston beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-2.The 22-year-old Bregman homered and had three RBI on Saturday night. The 2015 first-round draft pick has turned the corner, raising his average to .242 after batting .053 in his first 10 games following his promotion from Triple-A on July 25.The 32-year-old Gurriel added two doubles and collected the first two RBI of his major league career. Playing in his fifth game, it was the first time hed displayed the timely hitting that allowed him to pile up more than 1,000 RBI over 15 seasons in Cuba.He knows how to hit and I love how calm he is in the box and really in general, manager A.J. Hinch said. This stage is different for him entering than it is for a 21-, 22-, 23-year-old rookie. This guy has been on the international stage for a long time and you can tell by his maturity, by his calmness and how hes going about his business.Gurriel was glad to contribute but knows he still has a lot of work to do.I played in Cuba for many, many years and got used to the way they play there. But this is different, he said through an interpreter. This is the best league in the world. So adapting to this still is a process.Bregman connected off fellow rookie Blake Snell (4-7) in the third inning to make it 4-0. It was Bregmans fifth homer.Theres still a long way to go and improvements I can make, but Im just going to continue to work at it and continue to get better, Bregman said.Houston starter Dallas Keuchel (9-12) allowed nine hits and two runs in seven innings for his first career victory over the Rays. He entered 0-4 in six starts against them.Bobby Wilson hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning for the Rays, and Tim Beckham had three hits.Snell allowed a season-high nine hits and five runs -- four earned -- in three-plus innings for his third loss in four starts. He exited with a bruise on his lower left leg after being hit by a sharp grounder from Marwin Gonzalez to start the fourth.Snell didnt walk a batter after walking 13 over his last three starts. But that was about the only good news for the left-hander, who ended his streak of nine straight starts of allowing two earned runs or fewer. The streak was a franchise record for a rookie.I was thinking differently than what they were thinking, Snell said. I felt like they were in attack mode, swing mode, so I guess I should have been throwing more pitches out of the zone.Bregmans single in the fourth inning pushed the lead to 5-0.Corey Dickerson singled with no outs in the fifth before Wilsons home run, which smashed off the wall above the seats in left field and cut the lead to 5-2.The Rays didnt take advantage of a scoring opportunity in the sixth.

The same week Tennessee State cracked the STATS FCS Top 25, its biggest challenge of the season awaits.Sitting 25th in the poll, the Tigers make the three-mile trip to face Vanderbilt on Saturday.Theyll throw a lot more bodies at us than well be able to throw at them, Tennessee State coach Rod Reed said in regards to the SEC squads advantage in terms of depth and scholarship numbers. Weve been finding a way, and were going to get in there and were going to compete and keep it close and see what happens in the fourth quarter.The Tigers last started 6-1 in 2013, and were a missed field goal away at Eastern Illinois on Oct. 8 from perhaps being undefeated heading into this contest. Despite losing starting quarterback OShay Ackerman-Carter to a season-ending knee injury in the third game, Tennessee State ranks 18th in the FCS averaging 36.3 points and among the leaders with a turnover margin of plus-1.67.Senior backup quarterback Ronald Butler has thrown for 707 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions and rushed for three scores over the last three games.Weve done it really short-handedly, Reed said. Butler has done a very admirable job of running this football team. Were still short-handed a little bit, but our guys keep finding ways to win and thats what I like about this football team.Reed, however, is smart enough to know the task thats at hand against a FBS program -- even one thats 3-4. The Commodores are 1/3 in the SEC, but have allowed 62 points in those games and are coming off a 17-16 win at Georgia last weekend.Im just hoping they are still partying and celebrating that win, Reed joked. Cheap Lebrons Online. Vanderbilt has failed to score more than 17 points in all but two games this season, but Tennessee State has yielded an average of 28.6 since opening with a 44-0 rout of Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The Tigers are also likely to again be without talented defensive lineman Ebenezer Ogundeko, who began his college career at Clemson.That doesnt bode well for a defense thats allowed 455 rushing yards in the last two games. Theyll need to buckle down in order to stop Vanderbilts Ralph Webb, who posted back-to-back rushing games of at least 100 yards before being held to 48 on 19 carries against Georgia. Webb needs 350 yards to break Zac Stacys school record of 3,143.Though Tennessee State has its defensive issues, it ranks among the national leaders in both subdivisions with 12 interceptions. Senior cornerback and Michigan State transfer Ezra Robinson was named the Ohio Valley Conferences defensive player of the week after recording two of his four interceptions -- one returned 93 yards for a touchdown -- in last weekends 35-28 win over Eastern Kentucky.These guys fully understand what TSU brings to the table, Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason said. Rod Reed has done a good job assembling talent. Defensively, theyve got guys on that side of the ball that make plays. We actually respect everybody. We prepare the same way for everybody we play.The Tigers fell 38-9 in their only other meeting with Vanderbilt in 2006.
