The Rockies also used all seven relievers in their bullpen, then turned to Tyler Matzek, a starter in the 16th. Matzek (2-5) walked Baker to lead off the inning. Baker advanced to second on a sacrifice, then third on Anthony Rizzos bloop single before scoring. Chicagos Emilio Bonifacio had game-tying two-run homer in the fourth inning and a double among four hits. He is 14 for 35 since returning from the disabled list (strained right oblique) on July 22.

The Brazilian-born strikers brace drew him level with Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo as the leagues leading scorers with 17 goals apiece through 16 rounds. "The important thing is to help the team win, not the goals," Diego Costa said. After a first half dominated by defence, Atletico pressed Valencia into its area and Diego Costa did the rest.RENTON, Wash. - Every now and then, even during games sometimes, Bruce Irvin will be overwhelmed by gratitude.Hell remember the two weeks he spent in an Atlanta jail as a teenager. Hell think about turning his life around and becoming a junior college football standout, only to lack the money to continue in school.And, of course, Irvin will remember all the criticism that was directed toward the Seattle Seahawks when they decided to make him the No. 15 pick of the 2012 draft.Sometimes Ill be in a game during a timeout break looking at the crowd and think, Dang, a lot of people said I wouldnt be here. Sometimes I thought about myself I wouldnt be more than what I was, Irvin said. Its a blessing. I thank God every day. ... Lord knows I was supposed to be in jail or dead. Just for me to be able to practice every day and come out here and watch film is a blessing. I try and make the most of letting the guys know it aint guaranteed.Once considered to be a risky draft choice who could only be a pass rusher in the NFL, Irvin has developed into an every down linebacker who rarely leaves the field. On first and second downs, Irvin is a strongside linebacker who plays on the line of scrimmage.During passing situations, Irvin gets to put his hand on the ground and do his favourite thing in football, rush the quarterback.Its a scenario that works for the Seahawks and one no one could have anticipated when Irvin entered the NFL.It makes me happy. That was the biggest knock on me that I was situational and I couldnt play the run, Irvin said. These coaches, Pete (Carroll) and (general manager) John (Schneider), they never wavered, they never pulled the plug on me and they kept believing in me. ... I cant ask for a better supporting cast and a better situation than the one Im in right now. I just have to continue to keep getting better and not let those guys down.Irvin is at the end of his thirrd season, but early in Year 2 his future seemed in question. Sam Martin Jersey. He had played mostly as an undersized pass-rushing defensive end his rookie season and while he was successful at getting to the quarterback, he also got pushed around in run defence. Seattles coaches wanted to keep it simple for him at first and not push him to learn multiple positions.When we went after him, we thought he would be a very special pass rusher because of his terrific speed, Carroll said. We thought he would have the ability to do other things beyond that and in time, it took us a little while, we tried to make it easy for him at first and left him at the Leo spot. As we grew with him, we expanded with him.Seattle started transitioning Irvin to linebacker at the start of his second season. He was suspended four games for using performance-enhancing substances, but Seattle stuck with its plan. The Seahawks were convinced their best defensive alignment was with K.J. Wright at weakside linebacker and Irvin as their future on the strongside.Irvin believes that if he was with any other team, hed still just be a situational player.Irvin is far from a finished product as a linebacker, but hes managed to retain his pass-rush ability. Irvin finished second in the regular season with seven sacks for Seattle, and hell likely be getting plenty of opportunities to try to get to Tom Brady against New England in the Super Bowl. When the teams played during the 2012 season in Seattle, the Patriots put the ball in the air 58 times, although their run game is more consistent now.Ken Norton Jr., making the decision to make me a linebacker, that probably saved my career, Irvin said. I always would have been an undersized defensive end. I would rather be a big linebacker than a small defensive end. I think the transition was smart.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/ap_nfl href="http://www.cheapjjerseys.com/">Wholesale NFL Jerseys Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys From China Cheap Nike Basketball Jerseys Wholesale Hockey Jerseys China Nike Baseball Jerseys Cheap College Jerseys China Cheap Football Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys Canada Wholesale Nike MLB Jerseys Canada Cheap NBA Jerseys Authentic Canada Stitched Soccer Jerseys Canada Cheap Jerseys Canada NFL ' ' '
