ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Momentum can be difficult to stop in baseball, and as the Tampa Bay Rays try to end a slide that has carried over after the All-Star break, theyll do so Saturday against a tough pitcher in the Orioles Chris Tillman.Three times already this season, Tillman has faced the Rays, and three times the Orioles have won -- even a June 25 outing in which Tillman gave up 10 hits and six earned runs in five innings in an 8-6 win.For the season, Tillman is 2-0 with a 3.78 ERA against the Rays -- he was 5-9 in his career against Tampa Bay this season, but is pitching well, with a 12-2 overall record and a 3.41 ERA. Orioles manager Buck Showalter said its important to get quality starts coming out of the break after using four relievers in Fridays win.Were not going to have a rested bullpen the way we did tonight for the next 74 games, he said. We were fortunate tonight -- you dont usually walk seven guys and win a game.It hasnt mattered much who the Rays are facing on the mound of late -- theyve lost seven straight and 23 of 26, the worst stretch in franchise history and worst by any team in baseball this season. Its also the worst 26-game stretch by any American League team since the 2003 Detroit Tigers.Whats more, the Orioles are 8-2 against the Rays this season, including six straight wins, their longest streak against Tampa Bay since 2007.The challenge of ending the skid falls on left-hander Matt Moore, who has been mentioned as a trade possibility as the Rays move into seller mode as a result of playing in cellar mode with a 34-55 record.Moore has lost to the Orioles twice this season -- he has given up eight earned runs in 13 2/3 innings with 15 strikeouts but not much else to show. For his career, hes 5-6 against Baltimore with a 4.46 ERA.Within the last five weeks and the Rays terrible skid, Moore has been their best bet to win. In the last 29 games, he is 3-2 and the rest of the pitching staff is a combined 3-21.Thats nearly the opposite of Fridays starter, Chris Archer, who has seen the Rays win just once in his last 11 starts -- and none since June 6. The Rays brought Archer back out for the eighth inning in a tie game on Friday and it backfired, as he gave up the deciding run on a solo home run to Jonathan Schoop.We felt, or I felt, that Arch was the best option there to get those two righties, Rays manager Kevin Cash said of Archers no-decision. I still feel that way. He just left a pitch up ... a slider up to Schoop. Air Max Wholesale China Free Shipping .

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- First-year Miami coach Mark Richt never talked to his team about qualifying for a bowl game with a victory at Virginia, figuring the Hurricanes had three games left to ensure a .500 record and a chance to play in the postseason.When Brad Kaaya threw two touchdown passes and Mark Walton ran for 111 yards and another score Saturday, leading Miami to a 34-14 victory against Virginia, and bowl eligibility, his players admitted to be delighted, and to wanting to keep the wins coming,Its awesome. Awesome, right guard Danny Isadora said. Got to keep winning.They did it for the first time at Virginia with a balanced attack that produced 222 rushing yards and 228 through the air.Kaaya hit David Njoku for a 7-yard score and Ahmmon Richards for a 77-yarder, the latter making Kaaya just the second quarterback to throw for more than 9,000 yards in his career at Miami (6-4, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference). Only Ken Dorsey, with 9,565, has more.Richards touchdown, on a short third-down route, gave the Hurricanes a 27-14 lead, and the defense did the rest.It feels great, honestly, the freshman said of qualifying for the postseason. You work so hard and you want to have a payoff. Its a great way for our seniors to go out, but right now, were focusing on N.C. State.The Cavaliers (2-8, 1-5) honored fourth- and fifth-year seniors before their final home game, but lost their fifth in a row. Virginia trailed just 17-14 at halftime, but mustered only 28 yards in the third quarter as Miami pulled away.Virginia fumbled the ball away four times, all in the second half.Clearly Im not getting through yet to our team in those closer moments where the game is kind of going back and forth, first-year Cavaliers coach Bronco Mendenhall said.Waltons 15-yard run, capped as he arched his back to reach the end zone, essentially put the game away with 11:17 remaining.dddddddddddd. It gave the sophomore 21 touchdowns in 23 career games, and 11 touchdowns this season.I think the blocking was good, for the most part, but there were a few times where he was just ripping through tackles and just wasnt going to be denied a first down and kept a couple of drives going, Richt said.THE TAKEAWAYMiami: The Hurricanes reached bowl eligibility by getting stout performances on both sides of the ball. They rushed for 222 yards and passed for 228, and on defense sacked Virginia starting quarterback Kurt Benkert five times, including a strip sack by Corn Elder that Joe Jackson recovered.Virginia: Benkert continued to be restless under pressure and had another rough day. He completed 16 of 27 passed for 143 yards before being removed in the fourth quarter. The swap allowed former starter Matt Johns to finish, and he received a rousing ovation when he entered his final career home game.WHERE THERES SMOKEVirginias Taquan Smoke Mizzell caught three passes for 27 yards, and became the first player in ACC history to record 1,500 career rushing yards and 1,500 career receiving yards. He has 1,831 rushing yards (21st all-time at Virginia) and 1,517 receiving yards (13th).The milestone came on a pass from Johns in the fourth quarter.One of Johns goals when he got into the game, he said, was to get Smoke that record. Man, I love that dude. He plays so hard and he caught a couple passes and got the 10 yards that he needed. Hes one of the best football players Ill ever play with.UP NEXTMiami makes its first trip to Raleigh, North Carolina since 2008 to face North Carolina State.Virginia plays at Georgia Tech.---More AP college football: http://collegfootball.ap.org ' ' '
