CHICAGO -- Starlin Castro provided the perfect remedy for a poor start by the Chicago Cubs. cheap jerseys From China . Castro had three hits, including a game-ending single in the 10th inning, and Chicago rallied past the Milwaukee Brewers 5-4 on Tuesday night. The winning run capped a late comeback as Jeff Samardzija (5-2), the last of six Cubs pitchers, won his second straight game in relief. "We made some mistakes early and didnt do ourselves any favours," said Chicago manager Mike Quade, whose team committed three errors. "There were about a half-dozen plays and things I saw that Im not very happy about and they damn near cost us. But they kept playing." Castro looped a one-out single to right off Tim Dillard (1-1) to score Tony Campana from third in the 10th. "It was a great at-bat by (Castro) against a tough right-hander," Quade said. "Hes done exactly what I needed him to do this year. Campana opened the 10th with a double off Dillard and moved to third on Kosuke Fukudomes sacrifice, bringing up Castro. "Campys got great speed, but hes got to get on base to use it," said Quade, who was ejected after loudly complaining about a pitch to Prince Fielder that plate umpire Alfonso Marquez called a ball. Trailing 4-1, the Cubs scored three times in the eighth off Milwaukee reliever Marco Estrada. Castro doubled home Fukudome, and Aramis Ramirez followed with his fifth homer, a two-run shot that tied it 4-all. "I dont know whats going on with (Estrada)," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "Last time he pitched he had a good outing. This time, his stuff looked fine. Its down in the zone, changeup looks good, but for some reason theyre hitting him well." The rally spoiled a strong effort by Milwaukee ace Yovani Gallardo, who allowed three hits and struck out a season-high 10 in seven innings. "I was able to mix my pitches a little better than my last start," Gallardo said. "Youve just got to take that as a good thing and keep moving forward." The Brewers, who lost the first game of the series 1-0 on Monday, dropped back-to-back games for the first time since a seven-game losing streak from April 30 to May 6. "Todays was tough," Roenicke said. "Yesterday we didnt swing the bat, but today was a tough loss." Milwaukee maintained a share of the NL Central lead as St. Louis lost 8-6 at Washington. The Brewers scored twice in the third inning, sending eight batters to the plate while leaving three on base. Rickie Weeks led off with a single and scored the first run on Ryan Brauns base hit. The Brewers then loaded the bases and scored again when Casey McGehee grounded to shortstop for a fielders choice that brought home Nyjer Morgan. Starting pitcher Randy Wells then walked Corey Hart to load the bases again, but escaped the inning when Yuniesky Betancourt popped up in the infield and Jonathan Lucroy flied to left. Fielders one-out sacrifice fly in the fourth brought home Gallardo for a 3-0 lead. Geovany Sotos seventh-inning solo home run broke up the shutout bid. Quade used five relievers over the final three innings, including rookie Chris Carpenter, who made his major league debut in the eighth. Weeks, who had three hits, greeted Carpenter with a double to left that scored Lucroy for a 4-1 lead. Wells worked six innings, giving up eight hits and two earned runs. He struck out two and walked three. "We had a lot of chances to bust that game open all game," Roenicke said. "I know it came down to the bullpen, but that game we should have blown open early." NOTES: The Cubs activated outfielder Reed Johnson from the disabled list before the game and sent OF Tyler Colvin to Triple-A Iowa. Johnson was placed on the disabled list May 29, retroactive to May 26, with lower back spasms. Colvin was batting .105 with two homers and eight RBIs. ...

As part of the Kraft Celebration Tour, Kyle hosts a special edition of SPORTSCENTRE featuring anchors Jay Onrait and Dan OToole when they broadcast live from the community on Tuesday, Aug.PORTLAND, Ore. - LaMarcus Aldridge will keep the words he had with Minnesotas Kevin Love to himself. The two All-Stars jawed at times on Sunday night, when both scored 26 points but Aldridges Trail Blazers came out on top, 119-106. "It was just two guys going hard," the diplomatic Aldridge said. Love also had nine rebounds for the Timberwolves, who have dropped eight of their last 10 games. He also brushed off the back-and-forth with Aldridge, explaining it was probably something the Blazers star did to "get his team going, get the fans into it." Nicolas Batum added 24 points for the Blazers, who like the Timberwolves are fighting to stay in the playoff picture. Portland continues to adjusting to the dismissal of coach Nate McMillan and the trade of starters Marcus Camby and Gerald Wallace at the deadline. Portland is now 5-5 under interim head coach Caleb Canales, who has been juggling with his roster. On Sunday, the Blazers started J.J. Hickson, who was picked up on March 21 after he was waived by Sacramento. "We played a good game, played sound defence, we controlled the rebounds," Batum said. "And we controlled Kevin Love." The Timberwolves used nine players as they battle injuries, including the loss of rookie Ricky Rubio for the season. Minnesota guard J.J. Barea was out for the fifth straight game with a bruised right quadriceps and forward Michael Beasley missed his third game with a sprained big toe on his left foot. Centre Nikola Pekovic, who has missed six games with bone spurs in his right ankle, was with the team on it short two-game road trip to Portland and Sacramento, but coach Rick Adelman said before the game that he would not play. "Losing Ricky was obviously the toughest thing for us. We were able to grind out games and get wins, but then Pek went down, J.J. continued to be hurt and Michael just added firepower," Love said. "All four of those guys added something special to this team. When we were rolling we had everyone together." Aldridge, who had eight rebounds, was back with the Blazers after missing Friday nights loss to the Clippers with a sore left elbow. "I just blocked it out," he said. "When Im out there Im going to play." The game was tied at 27 at the end of the first quarter, but when Love rested eearly in the second, Portland took a 37-31 lead on Jamal Crawfords pull-up jumper. cheap jerseys. . Portland stretched the lead to 49-42 on another Crawford jumper and the Blazers led 57-50 at the half. Batums 3-pointer and free throw gave the Blazers a 79-68 lead with 4:13 left. Batum blocked Luke Ridnour on the other end to pave the way for Aldridges fast-break dunk, giving Portland its biggest lead of the game to that point. Ridnour made a 3 to narrow it to 86-82 for the Timberwolves late in the third quarter, but Luke Babbitt made a layup at the buzzer. Crawfords long jumper put the Blazers up 105-89 midway through the final quarter. Ridnour and Derrick Williams each finished with 21 points for the Timberwolves. Hickson finished with 15 points and nine rebounds, while Raymond Felton had 10 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds for the Blazers. Portland was without centre Joel Przybilla, who has a right knee sprain, an absence that paved the way for Hickson to start. It isnt clear if the injury will keep Przybilla out of Monday nights game against the Utah Jazz. In the Timberwolves previous visit to the Rose Garden on March 3, Love finished with 42 points, one shy of his career high, and Minnesota won 122-110. Love grew up just south of Portland in Lake Oswego. He was half of a spectacular prep class in the state of Oregon with Kyle Singler of Medford. Love went on to play at UCLA while Singler played at Duke. Loves performance in March was helping preserve the Timberwolves playoff aspirations. He averaged a league-best 30.7 points, 13.9 rebounds and shot 48 per cent from 3-point range. But Love cant carry the Timberwolves alone. "Weve got to win almost every game now," he said. "So its still there for us, but we need a tremendous amount of luck on our side as well." NOTES: Before the game the Blazers honoured longtime broadcaster and Portland native Steve "Snapper" Jones. "Im just here feeling the love," said Jones, 70. ... Both teams were also coming off losses. The Timberwolves fell 100-79 at home to the Celtics on Friday, while Portland lost 98-97 to the Clippers in Los Angeles the same night. ... Batum made a layup at the final buzzer that he felt bad about, because he didnt want it to look like he was disrespecting the Timberwolves. "No really, sorry," he said. ' ' '
