PHILADELPHIA -- The St. Louis Cardinals were riding a five-game winning streak entering Saturdays game in Philadelphia.They were fresh off of a come-from-behind, ninth-inning comeback victory against the Phillies on Friday.It was another game in which they hit at least two home runs in a game, their ninth consecutive game of such stature. They became the first National League team and just the fifth team in MLB history to hit two or more home runs in nine straight games.Saturday night, that came to a close. Only Jeremy Hazelbaker went deep in a 4-2 loss for the Cardinals.Its hard to hit one a game for a consistent amount of time, St. Louis manager Matheny said. I thought today might be a day, especially when Hazelbaker hit one early. You could it the way guys were taking their at-bats there was an opportunity to maybe do it again.Hazelbakers home run gave St. Louis nine players with double-digit home runs on the year -- the most in baseball and tied for the most in a season in franchise history (2000).The Cardinals look to keep slugging the ball in Sundays rubber match at Citizens Bank Park against young righty Vince Velasquez (8-5, 4.14 ERA).Velasquez, 24, has given up three home runs in each of his last two starts. Velasquez was blitzed for five runs -- all in the fifth and sixth innings -- on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings while striking out 10 against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.Velasquez is likely nearing an innings limit, but the Phillies said they dont have an exact number or date in mind just yet. Hes thrown 113 innings in 2016.In Vinces case, we do, we are targeting a specific number of starts, innings, pitches, trying to manage his workload, Philadelphia general manger Matt Klentak said Wednesday. He goes out (Tuesday) night, and I know with the three home runs the line wasnt as impressive as it mightve looked at times, but (damn) his stuff was good last night. He was lights out.St. Louis counters with right-hander Mike Leake (8-9, 4.78 ERA).The Cardinals, who have a 1 1/2-game lead for the second wild card spot in the National League, need Leake to start improving if they want to continue to make a playoff push.Leake, signed to a five-year, $80 million deal last offseason, has allowed at least three runs in five consecutive starts. He hasnt won in three August starts and his 1.28 WHIP is his worst since 2012. Leakes ERA hasnt been below 4.00 since May 31.He previously faced the Phillies on May 4 in St. Louis, taking a no-decision while giving up four runs in five innings. PJ Tucker Rockets Jersey . A big centre with all the tools to be an elite player, Johansen paced the Blue Jackets with a standout game Saturday night. He had a goal and two assists for a career-high three points as Columbus beat the New York Islanders 5-2 to snap a five-game losing streak. Gerald Green Rockets Jersey . -- Derrick Rose shook off poor shooting early to hit clutch shots late and Carlos Boozer had 20 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 104-95 preseason victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. http://www.therocketsofficial.com/Authentic-Clyde-Drexler-Rockets-Jersey/ . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. James Harden Rockets Jersey . Clarke was injured while practicing on the Doha Golf Club range after the pro-am on Tuesday. The Northern Irishman arrived at the course on Wednesday hoping to start, but after hitting a few balls on the practice putting green Clarke advised officials he was not fit to play. Hakeem Olajuwon Jersey .Y. -- Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Wednesday that J. SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dames defense got going after stuffing Nevada on a fourth-and-1 from the 17 on Nevadas first possession. The offense didnt get going until the second quarter.Nevada (1-1) was no match for the 18th-ranked Fighting Irish once they got both sides going, overpowering the Wolf Pack 39-10 on Saturday. DeShone Kizer threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, Josh Adams rushed for 106 yards on 10 carries and Notre Dames defense rebounded from a disappointing performance a week ago at Texas.Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly was pleased with the defensive effort.We needed some confidence, so that fourth down was definitely a confidence-builder for our defense. I think that gave us some momentum going into the next couple of drives, he said.Linebacker James Onwualu said it was a stop the Irish (1-1) desperately needed.We never had a drive where the defense had any momentum in the Texas game, he said.Defensive lineman Jarron Jones also set up a touchdown with an interception at the 8-yard line.Kizer was 15 of 18 for 156 yards with one interception and Equanimeous St. Brown led Irish receivers with six catches for 85 yards with Torii Hunter Jr. out with a concussion sustained against Texas.Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said Kizer showed more patience looking for receivers.The other thing is hes taking whats available to him instead of trying to do too much, Kelly said.Nevada coach Brian Polian, a former Notre Dame assistant under Charlie Weis, said he had no doubt about going for it on fourth down.Because field goals were not going to keep us in this game, he said.The Wolf Pack avoided the shutout when Wyatt Demps caught a 44-yard pass from Stewart in the third quarter to set up a 27-yard field goal by Brent Zuzo. Jaxson Kincaide added a 6-yard TD run against Notre Dames reserves late in the fourth quarter. Stewart was 10 of 23 passing for 113 yards and James Butler, who rushed for 1,342 yards last season, was held to 50 yards on 17 carries.dddddddddddd had a little bit of an off day and you cant afford to have those, Stewart said.BIG QUARTERThe Irish took control with a 25-point second quarter -- the most points in the quarter for Notre Dame since scoring 28 points against Pittsburgh in Weis debut as coach in 2005.KNUCKLEHEAD MISTAKESBoth teams struggled with mental errors, highlighted by a safety by Nevadas Ahki Muhammad being called for a safety when he caught a kickoff and carried it out of the end zone, then stepped back into the end zone and kneeled.There were some points in the game where, frankly, we made some knuckleheaded mistakes, Polian said.POLL IMPLICATIONSNOTRE DAME: The easy win over Nevada wont do much to help the Fighting Irish in The Associated Press poll, but it also wont hurt.THE TAKEAWAYNEVADA: The Wolf Pack, who lost to the Irish 35-0 in 2009, managed to avoid being shut out again, and picked up a $1 million guarantee.NOTRE DAME: The defensive performance should help allay the panic among Irish fans for at least a week after giving up 50 to Texas, but they wont truly feel good until Notre Dame shows it can slow a quality opponent.UP NEXTNEVADA: After barely beating FCS Cal Poly and being dominated by Notre Dame, the Wolf Pack will finally play another mid-major conference opponent next week in Buffalo (0-1), which is off this week, before returning to Indiana to play another Power Five foe in Purdue in two weeks.NOTRE DAME: Faces Michigan State, marking its first game against a Big Ten school since a 43-40 overtime loss to Northwestern on Nov. 15. 2014. Before last season the last time the Irish didnt play a school now in the Big Ten was 1914.---AP College Football Website: www.collegefootball.org---Follow Coyne on Twitter: www.twitter.com/TomCoyneAP ' ' '
