Blue Jays 1, Athletics 0

OAKLAND, Calif. — Jose Bau­tista's majors-high 36th homer helped Luis Perez earn the win in his first start. Perez, a rookie, was a starter in the minors, but all 29 appearances this season came in relief. (Only eight had been two or more innings.) He didn't allow a baserunner until Cliff Pennington's walk to start the sixth. Jemile Weeks later singled to load the bases, but Perez induced an inning-ending double play by Coco Crisp with his final pitch. Bautista's homer came on the 10th pitch of his at-bat against Guillermo Moscoso.

Guest of the day

LHP David Price and his French bulldog, Astro, were featured on figurines for Sunday's giveaway to fans. Astro got plenty of attention in the clubhouse and on the field, where he posed for pictures. "I guess every dog has its day," manager Joe Maddon said.



Johnny be clutch

In 17 plate appearances with the bases loaded this season, Johnny Damon is hitting .462 with 18 RBIs. Three RBIs came on Sunday's seventh-inning double. The breakdown:

Buc for a day

In a "tribute" to the Bucs, manager Joe Maddon wore a helmet during his postgame news conference and referred to Seattle as the "Seahawks." Bench coach Dave Martinez even came in to give him a Gatorade bottle mid session. Bucs coach Raheem Morris has worn Rays gear during training camp, so Maddon wanted to return the favor.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Jerome Williams earned his first win since Sept. 25, 2005. A first-round pick of San Francisco in 1999, he hadn't started a game since May 15, 2007, while with the Nationals. He had been out of the majors since the end of that season due to injuries and weight issues. He spent most of that time in the minors with stints in Mexico and, in 2010, Taiwan before starting this season in the independent Atlantic League.

Just a thought

Rays television analyst Brian Anderson was off over the weekend, and there's always a bit of a hole when there isn't a former player in the booth. Todd Kalas filled in, and the broadcasts were fine.

But here's a thought: When Anderson is absent in the future, why not mix Rays radio announcers Dave Wills and Andy Freed into the TV mix? Have Wills, Freed and TV play-by-play man Dewayne Staats do a rotation between TV and radio. Wills and Freed could each call a few innings on television, and Staats could take a three-inning stint on radio. Maybe toss in some guests analysts such as Don Zimmer and Orestes Destrade. Just something to mix it up, and there would be a little cross-promotion.

Best line

ESPN's Outside the Lines on Sunday had a special roundtable to discuss the blueprint for fixing college football. Rece Davis was host, and the panel included college football analysts Kirk Herbstreit, Urban Meyer, Mike Bellotti, Robert Smith, Mark May and Rod Gilmore, college basketball analyst Jay Bilas, former Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese, college coaches Nick Saban (Alabama) and Bob Stoops (Oklahoma) and Tennessee athletic director Joan Cronan.

Discussed were the usual topics: paying football players, a playoff system, how to punish those who break rules and so forth. These are topics that have been talked about for the past several years, so it's not surprising that nothing new came up in a half-hour discussion.

But the best line of the conversation belonged to Meyer, who said: "College sports, in my opinion, is not broke. What's broke right now is human behavior."

Biggest rumor

ESPN's Baseball Tonight reporter Buster Olney threw out three names who could replace Jim Hendry, who was fired this past week as general manager of the Cubs. Olney said the Cubs want a GM with a proven track record and have interest in the Yankees' Brian Cashman, the A's Billy Beane and, most of all perhaps, the Rays' Andrew Friedman, left.

"They (the Rays), of course, have not been able to get a new ballpark," Olney said. "He's kind of like (baseball's version) of Bill Belichick of 2002, where he's the hot name. I think he'll get offered the Houston Astros' job, maybe he'll get offered the Chicago Cubs' job, (and he'll) have a very tough decision."

If Friedman does leave, you could make an argument it would be the biggest loss in the history of the franchise, including if the Rays lost manager Joe Maddon or even slugger Evan Longoria.

Most interesting prediction

When ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit talks, we listen. He might be the best pound-for-pound sports analyst on television.

On Sunday, he weighed in on the Gators and said he doesn't see them winning 10 games in their first season under coach Will Muschamp, left, simply because of the brutal schedule, which includes road games at LSU, Auburn and South Carolina, and home games against Alabama and Florida State.

"I think Florida is going to be a better team than a year ago," Herbstreit said, "but it's not going to show in their record."

Herbstreit picks Alabama and South Carolina to meet in the SEC Championship Game.

Strongest opinion

ESPN's NASCAR prerace show Sunday addressed the Danica Patrick situation. Patrick will hold a news conference this week during which she is expected to announce that she will run a full-time NASCAR Nationwide series schedule in 2012. ESPN NASCAR analysts Brad Daugherty and Rusty Wallace look forward to her running the Nationwide series, but they don't want to see her running Sprint Cup.

"Going to the Cup? That's too much gas for her," Wallace said. "She needs to focus on the Nationwide and forget about that Cup stuff right now."

Best hustle

Sun Sports had its hands full Sunday with one close play after another during the Rays-Mariners game.

There was a near grand slam by Johnny Damon where the ball actually hit the outfield railing and bounced back into play. There was a diving catch (that should have been called a trap) by Rays second baseman Ben Zobrist. There was Desmond Jennings being hit by a pitch on what first appeared to be a wild pitch. And another wild pitch moments later when Matt Joyce was cut down at home.

In each case, the cameras were in perfect position to capture replays that clearly showed the plays. A gold-star day for the Sun Sports crew.

Best feature

ESPN and Sports Science's feature Sunday on how NASCAR drivers stay cool inside their race cars was one of those, "Gee, I never even thought of that" stories. Unless you follow NASCAR closely, you probably never knew that race cars don't have air conditioning. Drivers, such as Jimmie Johnson, left, are kept cool by a hose that connects to their helmets.

Whenever you see a story outside the box like this, you know producers are thinking and doing their jobs well. Nice work, ESPN.

Interesting stat of the day

On Sunday, the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez, on right, played against the Twins' Jim Thome, left. It was the first time two players with 600 career homers had met in a game since Hank Aaron (Braves) played against Willie Mays (Mets) on July 17, 1973.

Three things that popped into my head

1. Wouldn't it have been funny if Patriots coach Bill Belichick said after the preseason game against the Bucs: "Yeah, we weren't trying, either."

2. Think the mayor in Montreal had a "secret plan" for keeping the Expos?

3. With just more than a month to play, there really isn't a close compelling baseball race to follow at the moment. The Yankees/Red Sox runnerup will still likely be the wild card. The D'backs and Giants are kind of close, but it's not all that compelling, and the race will be played out late at night on the West Coast. Good thing football season starts for real soon.

St. Petersburg Times staff writer Tom Jones looks back at the best and worst from a weekend of televised sports.

Best list

Gary Myers, the well-respected NFL writer for the New York Daily News, came out with his list of the top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL. The Bucs' Josh Freeman did not make it. Tom Brady came in at the top, followed by Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers, Michael Vick, Eli Manning, Matt Ryan and Mark Sanchez. Myers admits that Sanchez might be ranked too high, but he said his list relies heavily on how far a QB has taken his teams, and Sanchez has gone to back-to-back AFC title games. That's also why Eli Manning, who did win a Super Bowl MVP award, came in at No. 8.

USF Bulls explore remote cameras as a video option to using scissor lifts

By Greg Auman, Times Staff Writer
Sunday, August 21, 2011

TAMPA — In USF's 15 seasons of football, the sight of a well-sunscreened student manager perched high above a practice field videotaping drills from a scissor lift has been a constant.

But in the wake of last year's tragedy at Notre Dame, where a 20-year-old student was killed when a lift toppled in heavy winds during practice, USF is considering other options, including the possibility of following the Fighting Irish's lead in using remote cameras operated atop 40-foot poles.

"We are looking at it. From our standpoint, we haven't had a problem, but it's something we're very leery of," coach Skip Holtz said Sunday. "It's what I always talk with (head trainer Steve Walz) about every day before we come out here: What does the lightning look like and what are the winds like. … It's definitely something everybody is exploring right now."

USF was building a football practice facility last fall when the Notre Dame accident took place, and the school was initially planning to build two permanent towers on concrete slabs between its three practice fields for about $80,000 each. But those weren't built, and USF continues to use scissor lifts as school officials weigh the merits of a remote system.

On Sept. 2, the day before the Bulls open their season at Notre Dame, officials will visit the school to see such a system in place in South Bend, Ind.

"They're unmanned cameras, all remote, joystick-controlled cameras, but because it's a prototype, it needs to be evaluated," said Bill McGillis, USF's executive associate athletic director. "Evaluated on how it handles wind condition with the stability of the camera, how it withstands weather conditions. In a climate like ours, wind is not really our issue, it's rain. … (Notre Dame) has been pleased with the system so far, but we feel comfortable with the safety of the lifts we're using. We don't have the wind problem that the plains of west Texas or the Midwest has."

Declan Sullivan, a student manager at Notre Dame, died when a video tower fell over amid wind gusts higher than 50 mph. In response, Notre Dame asked about a remote system and turned to XOS Digital, an Orlando company that has innovative systems for teams ranging from video editing to website hosting.

XOS Digital's system would cost USF about $75,000 per pole system, including the software and technology to operate the cameras by remote. With either system — a permanent structure or the remote system — USF would still continue to rent hydraulic lifts to videotape practices from the end zones; concrete slabs are in place to facilitate such a position.

Despite the obvious safety benefits, there is still a hesitation within the industry to move to a model with no camera operator atop the practice fields.

"I think the video coordinator profession, including (USF video coordinator Jamie DeGerome) and his colleagues, have not yet jumped on that bandwagon," McGillis said. "The experts in the industry want to evaluate the quality of the video, the maintenance issues.

"From what I understand, the cameras can get 350-degree access. You can almost go all the way around, which is nice. But there's a large segment of the video coordinator profession that wants to hold a camera in their hands."

Holtz said being able to videotape practice, and thus able to review drills to see how players are performing, is nearly as important as practice itself, so he's hesitant to change how he records practice until he knows it's as reliable as the current method.

"The technology is out there and getting better and better. As long as we can get the same results," Holtz said. "I think there's definitely some merit, and with what happened in South Bend, I think every team in the country is exploring the option with the … remote cameras."

LSU players delay police, hire attorney after fight

BATON ROUGE, La. — Four LSU football players hired a defense attorney and put off a meeting with police about a bar fight that started when a patron honked at a crowd blocking his exit from a parking lot, Baton Rouge police said Sunday.

Quarterback Jordan Jefferson, offensive lineman Chris Davenport, defensive lineman Josh Johns and receiver Jarvis Landry had been asked to give their side of the story at police headquarters today, but attorney Nathan Fisher arranged a postponement, Sgt. Donald Stone confirmed in an e-mail.

Fisher requested a 24-hour postponement so he could meet with the players, Stone said. Police expect to speak with Fisher today to arrange the interviews.

The driver who honked was one of four people injured in the fight outside Shady's Bar, according to a release from Stone.

The football players "weren't asked to turn themselves in," Stone said in a telephone interview. "They were asked to come in so they can be interviewed and tell their side of the story."

The police may interview other players, he said.

Stone said police interviewed four people who were treated and released — three for minor injuries and a fourth for a more serious injury that could bring a felony charge of second-degree battery. Some witnesses also have talked to police, he said.

On Saturday, coach Les Miles apologized for the fight, which he said occurred after the entire team checked in at Thursday's 10:30 p.m. curfew. He said that a "relatively large group" was involved and that he won't punish specific players until details are revealed.

N.C. State: Defensive tackle J.R. Sweezy, a senior captain who had six sacks last season, will miss six weeks after surgery on his broken foot.

UConn: Former associate athletics director Paul Pendergast will serve as interim athletics director in the wake of Jeff Hathaway stepping down, the school said. A committee will conduct a national search for a replacement, but no timetable was set.

Basketball: Nnemkadi Ogwumike of Stanford scored 24 and Elena Delle Donne of Delaware added 18 points and 11 rebounds as the United States routed Taiwan 101-66 in the gold-medal game of the World University Games in China.

Johnny Damon's homer lifts Tampa Bay Rays past Seattle Mariners 8-7

By Joe Smith, Times Staff Writer
Sunday, August 21, 2011

ST. PETERSBURG — Johnny Damon's second home run trot Sunday afternoon was quicker — and "much sweeter."

Two innings after Damon's grand slam was changed to a three-run double due to an instant replay review, the veteran designated hitter left no doubt in his walkoff solo homer to lead off the ninth in the Rays 8-7 come-from-behind win over the Mariners in front of 17,226 at Tropicana Field.

"What else can you say? Johnny was pretty much the team," Rays third baseman Evan Longoria said.

Damon said he thought about bunting to start the ninth to set the table for Longoria. But instead, he ripped reliever Dan Cortes' first pitch of the inning 362 feet into the rightfield seats, setting the stage for a huge home plate celebration. His seventh career walkoff homer gave the Rays (69-56) a sweep, their fifth straight win and 10th win in their past 12.

"Fortunately, I hit it far enough," Damon said.

Damon paused at second for a few moments before rounding the bases in the seventh. He eventually got sent back when umpires correctly ruled the ball hit off the yellow top of the rightfield fence and back into play.

"The baseball gods were kind of looking out for him, I guess," Rays outfielder Matt Joyce said. "He really came through for us."

Damon — and the rest of the Rays offense — also came through for right-hander James Shields, who had a frustrating day in allowing seven runs and 12 hits over 71/3 innings. Shields, who fell behind 3-0 and 5-2, was given a two-run lead into the eighth but gave up a tying homer to Wily Mo Pena on his 110th and final pitch.

"They did a phenomenal job of coming back right there," Shields said. "This shows you what kind of team we are."

Joyce said the Rays, who have four walkoff wins in their past 11 home games, are starting to come together and have that confidence that, "even if we're down five, six runs, we're not throwing in the towel."

Instead, Tampa Bay chipped away. Joyce and catcher John Jaso hit consecutive two-out, two-strike RBI singles in the second. Ben Zobrist added a sacrifice fly in the sixth.

They broke through in the seventh after righty Michael Pineda, a top rookie of the year candidate, departed, working three walks, a ground-rule double and RBI groundout off Jamey Wright.

Damon then hit a 3-and-1 pitch from Jeff Gray off the top of the fence, the ball bouncing back into play. He didn't jog home until second-base umpire Mike Winters gave the signal. After a review of 2 minutes, 41 seconds, Rays manager Joe Maddon said the umpires made the "absolutely right" call. (There was even yellow paint on the retrieved ball.)

Maddon said plate umpire Mark Wegner also got it right in the eighth, when he ruled a pitch by Cortes hit Desmond Jennings, negating a wild pitch that would have brought Joyce home with the go-ahead run.

Joyce tried again in the next at-bat — with Damon at the plate — getting thrown out after a Cortes pitch sailed off the backstop.

"It's one of those things where you look back and are like, 'Man, maybe I should have dove headfirst and would have been safe,' " Joyce said. "It's just one of those things. That's baseball."

As was the case with Damon's near grand slam.

"They made the right call," Damon said. "I just wish I would have (hit) the ball a bit more."

This time, James Shields gets support from Tampa Bay Rays offense

ST. PETERSBURG — The way Sunday's start played out for Rays RHP James Shields, it was tough for him to describe what was going well.

But when Shields fell behind to the Mariners, 3B Evan Longoria said he went up to him and offered encouragement.

"I said, 'If you can keep us right here, we're going to win this game for you,' " Longoria said.

Considering Shields had bailed out Rays hitters many times this season (they've scored two runs or fewer in 10 of his 26 starts), they were happy they could return the favor Sunday, when the All-Star allowed seven runs and 12 hits, including a tying two-run homer in the eighth.

"For the most part this year, our starters have picked up the offense," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "(Sunday), the offense picked up the starter. I think it's great."

Maddon said Shields didn't have his best stuff early, specifically his fastball command, but started throwing better changeups as the game wore on and hung in to last 71/3 innings.

Shields has struggled this year against Seattle, which is last in the majors in batting average (.232) and runs (423). In two starts, he has allowed them to hit .358 (including six of his 21 homers) and score 15 runs (14 earned).

"With a little bit more experience, they're going to be a pretty tough team to beat in the next few years," Shields said.

UNSUNG STAR: Maddon has talked about rookie LF Desmond Jennings' instincts on the bases, and a prime example came on DH Johnny Damon's three-run double in the seventh.

Damon's blast, which went off the top of the rightfield fence and bounced back into play, was originally called a home run. But Jennings, starting from first, hustled to put himself in position where the umpires granted him home after the replay review. (As part of the replay rule, umpires can put runners at the base they believe they would have reached.)

"A lot of guys would not be in that trail position, that close, in order to score right there," Maddon said. "The fact that Desmond did what he did was outstanding."

Overlooked: Tigers RHP Justin Verlander garners more of the hype when it comes to tonight's matchup with Rays RHP Jeff Niemann. After all, Verlander is a leading Cy Young candidate.

"His arm," Niemann said, "is second to none."

Maddon said Niemann is far from second fiddle, having gone 7-0 in his 10 starts since coming off the disabled list in mid June.

"When Jeffrey is on top of his game, which he is right now, I'd put him up against anybody," Maddon said. "He's got one of the best curveballs in the league. He's got a split. He's got an unhittable angle. Right now, his confidence is up, so yeah, I feel good about it.

"Not taking anything away from (Verlander), my point is on any given day, if that's the matchup seven days in a row, I don't know how that's going to turn out. I think Jeff's that good."

Niemann said it will be fun to go up against Verlander, who leads the American League in wins and strikeouts.

"You know the runs are going to be at a premium," he said. "And it does bring out the best in you."

HIGH PRAISE: While Mariners RHP Michael Pineda, who started Sunday, is a top rookie of the year candidate, Maddon believes Rays RHP Jeremy Hellickson "is right in the mix" with him and Angels 1B Mark Trumbo.

And having watched Hellickson, 24, beat his team three times this season, Seattle manager Eric Wedge is a believer, too.

"I think for a young pitcher, he's as impressive as anybody in regards to the way he keeps the ball down," Wedge said. "The only time he elevates is when he wants to elevate; climb the ladder with that fastball. He's down, down, down and down.

"Got a great changeup; probably not as good as the changeup (as Shields), but it's pretty good. He looks very mature for his age and experience level."

Playing big: The New Tampa Little League All-Stars, who reached the Southeast Regional final, took batting practice at the Trop before Sunday's game.

A-Rod says he feels fine after first game back

MINNEAPOLIS — Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez returned to the lineup Sunday, more than 11/2 months after he went on the disabled list with a knee injury. Rodriguez hit cleanup and went 0-for-5 but said the knee felt great.

"Definitely a positive day moving forward," he said. "I'm relieved to get the first one behind me, and I'm looking forward to Tuesday."

Yankees manager Joe Girardi put him back at third rather than ease him in at designated hitter because the team is off today.

"His timing looked a little off," he said. "But I asked him in the eighth inning how he was feeling, and he said he feels great. That's the important thing. His timing is going to come with playing."

It was Rodriguez's first major-league game since July 7. He had surgery to repair the meniscus in his right knee, an injury that limited him to 13 homers in his first 80 games. He has not hit a home run since June 11.

Giants closer out: San Francisco put closer Brian Wilson on the 15-day DL (retroactive to Tuesday) with right elbow inflammation. Manager Bruce Bochy said he hopes Wilson, who started the year on the DL with a strained oblique, can return when eligible.

Blue Jays: INF Adam Lind sat a day after being hit in the right wrist by a pitch. X-rays were negative, and he hopes to play Tuesday after today's day off.

Braves: RH reliever Peter Moylan, out all season with a bulging disc, will begin a rehab stint at Triple A tonight.

Cardinals: SS Rafael Furcal sat a day after jamming his right thumb during batting practice. 2B Ryan Theriot sat with a tight hamstring. Both are day to day.

Indians: DH Travis Hafner left in the eighth with a strained right foot sustained while running out a single. His status hasn't been determined.

Mets: SS Jose Reyes ran from home to first several times to test his sore left hamstring. He will not come off the DL when eligible Tuesday. But he hopes to ramp up his rehab today by making turns on the bases and increasing the intensity of his workouts.

Phillies: SS Jimmy Rollins left in the third with a strained right groin. He is set to have an MRI exam this morning.

Pirates: LF Jose Tabata signed a six-year extension through 2016 that guarantees him $14.75 million. It includes three club options worth a combined $22.5 million that could keep him in Pittsburgh through 2019. Tabata, 23, is hitting .267 with four homers and 17 RBIs in 75 games this year.

Red Sox: CF Jacoby Ellsbury missed his second game with a contusion in his back sustained when being hit by a pitch Friday. He remains day to day.

Two fans shot outside 49ers game

For the second time in less than five months, officials in California are investigating a violent event involving sports fans, after two people were shot Saturday in the parking lot of Candlestick Park in San Francisco after an NFL game.

The shootings occurred Saturday after the 49ers defeated the Raiders 17-3 in a preseason game. A 24-year-old man had life-threatening injuries and another man in his 20s was hospitalized with less serious wounds, the San Francisco Police Department said.

Details of the shootings and names of the victims had not been released by the police as of late Sunday. A third victim, a 26-year-old man, was in serious condition after he was knocked unconscious in a stadium bathroom during the game.

The league and the mayors of the two cities jointly called for an end to "intimidation" and acts of violence at sporting events. Outside an MLB game on opening day in March, a San Francisco Giants fan was severely beaten in the Dodger Stadium parking lot in Los Angeles. Two Dodgers fans have been charged.

BURRESS SCORES IN RETURN: Plaxico Burress caught three passes, including an over-the-shoulder 26-yarder for a touchdown, in his first game in nearly three years as his Jets beat the visiting Bengals 27-7 in a preseason game. Burress signed last month after serving 20 months in prison on a gun charge. "Everything feels normal," he said. "… To be honest, it feels like I never left."

CHARGERS TOP COWBOYS: Philip Rivers led San Diego to scores on two of his three drives as the Chargers defeated the visiting Cowboys 20-7. Chargers wide receiver Malcom Floyd suffered a concussion.

BILLS: Coach Chan Gailey said receiver Donald Jones wasn't seriously injured on a hit that put him down for several minutes. Jones' head was driven into the ground Saturday by Broncos safety Rahim Moore; the hit drew a 15-yard penalty.

BROWNS: Wide receiver and star return specialist Josh Cribbs injured his hamstring near the end of practice. "Minor setback," he said. "Nothing big."

RAIDERS: Quarterback Jason Campbell is expected to practice today after leaving Saturday's game against the 49ers with a possible concussion.

TITANS: Coach Mike Munchak said he hopes the team works out a deal soon with Chris Johnson. "We're three weeks away from starting … it's getting to be important that we get this thing worked out," Munchak said.

Forget stats. Tampa Bay Rays' Johnny Damon simply is a clutch hitter

ST. PETERSBURG

The story is better if you believe. Keep that in mind as you think about Johnny Damon rounding third and heading toward acclaim.

Because modern thinking says there is nothing transcendent, nothing mystical, nothing particularly clutch about hitting a game-winning home run in the bottom of the ninth.

These things happen because odds, happenstance and other factors eventually conspire to make a hero out of most every ballplayer if given enough opportunities.

So that's the reality. That's the data. That's the logic.

Still, the story is better if you believe.

"I understand the statistical perspective. And I get that maybe this is not borne of the data, but I do believe you want certain guys at the plate at certain hot moments," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. There is still a human component to this game.

"It's like the guy who wants the last shot in a basketball game, the quarterback who's not afraid to throw it over the middle when it matters or the hockey player who wants the puck at the end. All sports have guys who really want to be there when the moment counts, and all sports have guys who cower from that moment."

Which brings us back to Sunday. To a tied score in the bottom of the ninth. The Rays were scheduled to send up Damon, Evan Longoria and Ben Zobrist against the Mariners.

The statistics say Longoria was the one most likely to hit a home run. The numbers say Zobrist was most likely to get an extra-base hit.

Yet they never got the opportunity.

"Some guys are able to slow the game down and handle the pressure and the excitement and just focus in on what's going on in front of them," rightfielder Matt Joyce said. "I absolutely believe in clutch players, and Johnny has been one of the best I've ever seen."

Damon turned on the first pitch he saw from reliever Dan Cortes in the ninth and drilled it into the rightfield seats.

It was the seventh walkoff home run of his career. That's more than Willie Mays hit. More than Ken Griffey Jr., Mark McGwire, Manny Ramirez, Ernie Banks or Ted Williams, and they all have more than 500 homers on the back of their baseball cards.

Again, much of that is circumstance. Is a walkoff home run in the bottom of the ninth any more clutch than a go-ahead homer hit in the top of the ninth? Not really, it's just a difference of whether you're in the visitor or home dugout.

Still, were you happy to see Damon with a bat in his hand at that moment?

"I truly believe some guys are much better than other guys in that situation," bench coach Dave Martinez said. "It's just something inside of them. You can almost see it. Everyone wants that chance, but some guys live for it.

"I think Johnny Damon fits that description."

There are certain measurables that leave little to interpretation. Joyce has shown more power than Damon this season. Zobrist has worked better counts. Casey Kotchman has made more consistent contact.

And yet Damon has often found himself in the middle of Tampa Bay's biggest moments. A walkoff homer against the Twins in April. Another walkoff hit two days later. A two-out infield single on a routine grounder that saved an eighth-inning rally Friday.

On a team that has struggled in bases-loaded situations (his teammates are hitting .184 with a .289 slugging percentage), Damon has been a godsend (a .462 batting average and a .692 slugging percentage), including his seventh-inning double Sunday.

Does all this make Damon a clutch hitter?

The website baseballreference.com breaks a hitter's career into what it terms low-leverage, medium-leverage and high-leverage situations. Under that criteria, Damon's combination of on-base and slugging percentage has increased from .770 to .793 to .821 when the situation has grown in importance during his career.

"You play 17 years, you're eventually going to come through in some clutch situations," Damon said. "But yeah, I think some guys might be better at it than some guys who are more tentative. You have to embrace it. If you don't embrace it, you won't succeed.

"I've always felt the heart of the player is more important than the talent."

In the end, it might be as simple as a leadoff hitter facing a rookie reliever who was being asked to work in his third inning. It might have been inevi­table.

Still, the story is better if you believe in Johnny Damon.

Kyle Busch conquers Michigan at last for Sprint Cup victory

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Kyle Busch finally won a NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway.

Jimmie Johnson is going to have to wait a while longer.

Busch overtook Johnson with 30 laps remaining of a race scheduled for 200 laps then held him off during a green-white-checkered overtime finish to win Sunday's Pure Michigan 400.

With his series-high fourth win this year, Busch also became the first driver to clinch a berth in the 10-race, season-ending Chase for the Championship.

Busch is 10 points ahead of Johnson, who is still winless at Michigan International Speedway after 20 Cup starts.

"We've been trying so hard the last few times here," said Busch, who was tied for the points lead with Carl Edwards coming in. "Our (Joe Gibbs Racing) teammate (Denny Hamlin) has been able to do it, but unfortunately we haven't."

Michigan native Brad Keselowski was third at the 2-mile oval, running a third race with a broken left ankle. Mark Martin, Johnson's Hendrick Motorsports teammate, was fourth. Edwards struggled, finishing 36th and falling to fourth in points.

Johnson, who has won five straight Cup championships, has 54 career victories and led after a late restart but couldn't keep the fast-closing Busch at bay.

It appeared Johnson had gotten the break he needed when, just as he left the pits after a stop, a caution came out on Lap 169 when Dave Blaney's car slowed.

With other contenders using the caution for their pit stops, Johnson led the restart.

On those fresh tires and confident in the knowledge he had enough gas to finish, Johnson quickly shot ahead of his pursuers, including Busch, who was in fourth place in his 14th MIS start.

"Jimmie was gone in, like, three laps," Busch said. "I didn't think there was any way I was going to run him down."

But Busch's Toyota had performed well on long runs: "I felt comfortable running my pace, trying to get closer to him."

Busch tried to pick his spot and finally passed on Lap 188.

But Johnson got a lifeline on Lap 198 when Kurt Busch and Jamie McMurray touched, sending Kurt Busch into the wall and forcing a caution and the overtime finish.

This time, Kyle Busch, choosing the outside lane, jumped ahead and stayed there.

"I wish I could have hung on," Johnson said. "On the last restart, I had a shot once again, but I couldn't make it happen on the bottom."

Busch, who tied older brother Kurt with his 23rd Cup victory, will enter the Chase as a favorite, though he never has won a title in NASCAR's top series.

"I feel like it's anybody's game right now," he said.

Johnson, who knows better than anyone what it takes to win a title, had advice for Busch.

"In order to win a championship in today's world, you've got to be rock solid," Johnson said. "We will all learn in time who that guy is this year."

NHRA: A first-time winner at age 58

BRAINERD, Minn. — Johnny Gray earned his first NHRA win, taking the Funny Car class at the Lucas Oil Nationals by defeating Don Schumacher Racing teammate Ron Capps in the final.

The remarkable part?

"I'm 58 years old," Gray told NHRA.com. "So there's probably not a whole lot of time left. There are no words for it."

Minnesota native Greg Anderson won in Pro Stock, defeating Erica Enders in the final. Antron Brown (Top Fuel) and LE Tonglet (Pro Stock Motorcycle) won their classes.

AMERICAN LE MANS: Klaus Graf and Lucas Luhr won the closest finish in series history late Saturday, with Graf edging Guy Smith by 0.112 seconds at a four-hour race in Elkhart Lake, Wis.

Cardinals 6, Cubs 2

CHICAGO — Yadier Molina homered twice as the Cardinals avoided a three-game sweep. It was Molina's second multihomer game, the other coming Aug. 16, 2007, at Milwaukee. He now has 11 homers, the first time in his eight seasons he has reached double figures. And his slugging percentage of .457 is about 80 points above his lifetime mark.

Couples wins playoff for first Senior major

HARRISON, N.Y. — Fred Couples finished off John Cook with a nifty wedge shot to 3 feet on the third hole of a playoff Sunday at the Senior Players Championship, winning his first senior major title.

"I knew when it was going, it was a really good shot," Couples said. "I didn't think it was going to be short and trickle down the hill. I just felt like it was going to be right there."

Couples closed with even-par 71 to match Cook (70) at 11-under on Westchester Country Club's West Course, a longtime PGA Tour venue where Couples estimated he has played about 100 rounds in 30 years.

Couples, the 1992 Masters champion, won for the first time this season after winning four times last year in his first season on the 50-and-over tour. And he won after having a nontraditional back procedure six weeks ago, and had to battle the stiff wind and a sore left hip that began giving him trouble during a nearly two-hour rain delay.

Couples joined Jack Nicklaus and Raymond Floyd as the only players to win the Players Championship on the regular and senior tours. He also earned a spot in The Players Championship, an event he won in 1984 and 1996. "I get to play with the studs," he said, "so that'll be fun."

Cook, seeking his first major win, held a share of the lead for nine holes but bogeyed No. 16 and missed birdie putts on the last two holes to force the playoff.

Simpson wins first as FedEx Cup field set

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Webb Simpson won the Wyndham Championship for his first PGA Tour title, finishing with bogey-free 3-under 67 for a three-stroke victory at the event that serves as the last chance to gain FedEx Cup playoff points.

The Raleigh native and former Wake Forest standout had an 18-under 262 total at Sedgefield Country Club.

"I really couldn't think of a better place to win than here in Greensboro," Simpson said. "… That was probably the most fun 18 holes I've ever been a part of."

George McNeill (64) was second, and Tommy Gainey (69) was third at 14 under.

Some big names came to Greensboro hoping to play their way into the playoffs. The top 125 qualify for The Barclays later this week in New Jersey (see the playoff field at golf.tampabay.com).

Padraig Harrington, who called off a vacation so he could try to escape the bubble, finished 6 under and went from No. 130 to No. 124. Ernie Els, who entered at No. 126, made it in, his 8-under finish good for 118th.

Among those who didn't make it: Justin Leonard missed a 13-foot putt on the 18th, and that left him at No. 126.

Pettersen rallies from 9 back at Safeway

NORTH PLAINS, Ore. — Suzann Pettersen rallied to win the LPGA Safeway Classic, overcoming a nine-stroke deficit with 7-under 64 and beating Na Yeon Choi with a par on the first hole of a playoff at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club.

In the playoff, Choi's second shot on the par-4 18th went into the water and she missed a putt for bogey before Pettersen sank her winning putt.

Pettersen won her second LPGA Tour title this year and eighth overall, jumping to No. 2 in the world rankings behind Yani Tseng.

"I didn't really expect this when I when I woke up this morning nine strokes back," Pettersen said. "I guess when you're on a roll, you're on a roll."

Choi finished with 73 to match Pettersen at 6 under. Choi birdied the par-4 17th to take a one-stroke lead but dropped a shot after leaving a chip short on the final hole to force the playoff.

Seminole's Brittany Lincicome, who started the day tied for fourth, shot 75 to tie for 18th at 2-over 215. Tampa's Kristy McPherson shot 71 to tie for 24th at 3 over.
