GAINESVILLE, Fla. Nike Shoes Wholesale Free Shipping . -- Michael Frazier II scored 21 points, Dorian Finney-Smith added 11 and No. 3 Florida overwhelmed Texas A&M 69-36 on Saturday. The Gators (19-2, 8-0 Southeastern Conference) pushed their winning streak to 13 games and extended a school record for consecutive home wins to 27. The latest one was another defensive gem. It tied the fewest points Florida has allowed in SEC play since 1950, matching last years defensive effort against South Carolina. Florida held the Aggies (12-9, 3-5) to 26 per cent shooting and 20 per cent from 3-point range. The Gators also outrebounded Texas A&M 57-27. The Gators closed the first half with a 12-2 run that turned a seven-point lead into a double-digit advantage. They were up 34-17 at the break, and the lead would have been bigger had they hadnt missed 11 of 12 shots from behind the arc. Coach Billy Donovans team found its long-range rhythm early in the second half, with Frazier and Scottie Wilbekin each connecting from behind the arc, and Florida really started pulling away. Fraziers second trey made it 53-24 with 12:27 to play. The Gators coasted from there, improving to 9-1 in Saturday games that followed Thursday night tilts. Donovan used just seven players for most of the game, even with leading scorer Casey Prather still hobbled by a sprained ankle. Prather missed practice Friday and wasnt in the starting lineup. He finished with seven points. Texas A&M also benched its leading scorer, Jamal Jones, for undisclosed reasons. Jones came off the bench about 3 minutes into the game, but didnt make a difference. He had seven points on 2-of-11 shooting. None of his teammates reached double figures. The Aggies were down 38 points when Donovan emptied his bench. About the only thing worth watching down the stretch was senior centre Patric Young chase his first double-double of the season. Young finished with nine points and 14 rebounds on his 22nd birthday. He had several chances to reach double figures in scoring, but missed his final three free throws. He missed the second of two with 9:33 to play -- someone yelled just as he started to shoot -- and then missed twice with 7:47 remaining. Donovan pulled him with 5:51 left and the game well in hand. The Gators return to the court Tuesday night against Missouri and will have highly touted freshman Chris Walker available. The NCAA cleared Walker on Wednesday, forcing him to sit out 12 games and repair about $300 for his receiving impermissible benefits during his college recruitment. Cheap Nike Shoes Wholesale .

Top-ranked Rafael Nadal was also taken to three sets but emerged with a 6-3, 6-7 (3), 6-3 win over Tobias Kamke of Germany, while second-seeded David Ferrer joined Murray in making an early exit after a 6-4, 7-5 loss to Daniel Brands of Germany.TORONTO -- It was about as ugly a win as you can get. Toronto starter Mark Buehrle fell trying to throw a pitch, balking in a run. Closer Casey Janssen didnt finish the ninth. Even Rogers Centre couldnt make up its mind, opening and then closing the dome. When the dust had settled, the Blue Jays had defeated the lowly Texas Rangers 9-6 Sunday, securing the series win over the worst club in the majors. The teams combined for 27 hits. But it was hardly a precision batting display. Texas left nine men on base while going 4-for-15 with runners in scoring position. Toronto stranded eight and went six-for-13 with runners in scoring position. Melky Cabrera answered a Texas comeback with a leadoff homer in the seventh inning and singled home two more runs in the eighth to lead the Jays. Cabrera gave Toronto a 6-5 lead when he sent reliever Neftali Felizs third pitch of the day deep to centre field. It was the left-fielders 12th home run of the season, delighting the crowd of 36,011 on a 23-degree day. One inning later, Munenori Kawasaki made it 7-5 with an RBI single after Toronto loaded the bases with one out on three singles. Then Cabrera slammed a single to right-centre to bring home Anthony Gose and Jose Reyes. Toronto (51-49) has now won seven of the last eight completed series against Texas (39-59) at Rogers Centre. Perhaps more importantly, the Toronto offence woke out of its slumber. The nine runs were the most by the Jays since they scored 14 on June 20 in Cincinnati. Toronto, which had lost its last three series, also notched its first multi-homer game since July 2. "We came to life today," said manager John Gibbons, who noticed a change in attitude early in the game. "I felt a little more energy in the dugout. The guys seemed a little more relaxed, some funny comments. Theyve been grinding it pretty hard lately. Its been wearing on them." Janssen, recovered from a stomach ailment, gave up three hits and a run in a nervous ninth and was replaced by Aaron Loup with two outs and men on first and second. The left-hander finally ended it by inducing former Jay J.P. Arencibia to pop out on a 3-and-2 pitch for his fourth save. "I just didnt see that crispness coming out there," Gibbons said of Janssen, who converted 14 of 16 save opportunities in the first half of the season. Left-hander Brett Cecil, coming on in the eighth with no outs and a man on second, snuffed out an earlier Rangers threat. Cabrera went 3-for-5 and has now hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games and 23 of his last 28. He also made a fine catch in left field, snagging the ball at his shoe top. "I just think the all-star break did him wonders," said Gibbons. "Hes out there every day. It did most guys some good. He just needed to refresh a little bit. His hand, speed, bat speed looks a little bit better. Thats the key to hitting, if you get a good swing. " Buehrle did not look fresh as he went six innings in his eighth unsuccessful attempt to record a win since June 1. "He was a little off," said Gibbons. "Its too bad he hasnt had a win in so long," he added. "Because hes definitely pitched well enough to have a few moore under his belt. Authentic Wholesale Nike Shoes. But thats the way baseball is sometimes. Theres no justice in this business." The day wasnt all bad for Buehrle. He picked off two Rangers and is now five shy of tying Andy Pettitte for most career pickoffs (105). Plus he was headed to the Tim McGraw show after the game. Todd Redmond (1-4) got the win for one inning in relief of Buehrle while Feliz (0-1) was tagged with the loss. Down 5-2, the Rangers had rallied for three runs in the sixth to tie the score as the bottom of the order loaded the bases. The Buehrle balk and a Daniel Robertson two-RBI single made it a whole new ball game. "Thatll make the bloopers," said Gibbons. Buehrle, who called it "embarrassing," said he went down because his cleat caught. He would have tried to throw the ball at the plate but was more concerned about not hurting himself going down. "Obviously I havent been as sharp as I want to be the last times Ive been out. It hasnt been really that good. I dont know. Just a couple of those days. Dont want to have them but theyre going to come in the course of season and (I) just need to turn it around." Robertson, filling in for the injured Alex Rios, drove in a career-high four runs for the Rangers. "Every time we scored, we just couldnt stop them," sad Texas manager Ron Washington, whose teams winning percentage slipped under .400 to .398. "Weve got to have some shutdown innings. We just couldnt get any shutdown innings after we put runs on the board. Thats the one thing we certainly have to work hard to correct." Earlier, catcher Dioner Navarro homered for Toronto and Reyes drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in a game that saw both teams with plenty of chances to keep the scoreboard turning over. It was a no-decision for Buehrle, who has posted an 0-5 record in his last eight outings to drop his record to 10-6. And this after reaching the 10-win mark faster than ever before in his career. He gave up five runs on eight hits with five strikeouts and three walks in his 449th consecutive start, the longest active streak in the majors. The left-hander, who came into the game with a 13-5 record in 20 career starts against the Rangers, made life difficult for himself in the second, third and fourth by putting the leadoff man on with two walks and a single. But, two runs aside in the third, he cleaned up after himself until stepping into it again in the sixth. Despite winning the series opener 5-1 Friday, the Rangers have been in a free fall for a while. They came into the game having lost nine of 10 and are now 2-14 in July, the fewest wins for any team in the majors. However you stack them, the numbers are shocking. Texas has lost 16 of 18 and 24 of 28. One explanation: Texas has used more players (51) and pitchers (30) than any other team this season. And the Rangers lead the majors in use of the disabled list (21) and current players on the DL (14). That explains the 15 rookies on the active roster. Texas starter Nick Tepesch lasted 4 1/3 innings, giving up five runs on nine hits. The Jays open a four-game homestand against the Boston Red Sox on Monday.
