LOS ANGELES -- Aaron Cook outpitched Hiroki Kuroda with seven scoreless innings, Troy Tulowitzki had a pair of RBI singles among his three hits, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 on Wednesday night to avoid a three-game sweep. Cook (2-5) scattered six hits, struck out two and walked two in his longest outing of an injury-delayed season. The 32-year-old right-hander, who missed the first three months with a broken finger on his pitching hand, has won consecutive starts after going 0-5 with a 5.82 earned-run average in his first seven outings. Rex Brothers pitched the eighth, giving up a two-out double to Matt Kemp, and Huston Street earned his 27th save in 29 attempts. He threw 31 pitches, giving up Rod Barajas ninth homer with one out in the ninth. Kuroda (6-13) allowed one run and six hits over six innings with six strikeouts, and is 1-10 over his last 12 starts despite a more-than-adequate 3.38 earned-run average during that stretch. The 36-year-old righty managed to maintain his concentration as long as he could despite weeks of constant speculation that he might be dealt before Sundays non-waiver trade deadline. Colorado broke through in the fifth when Tulowitzki drove in Eric Young Jr. from second with the Rockies third straight two-out single. But Kuroda minimized the damage by striking out Ty Wigginton after loading the bases with an intentional walk to Seth Smith. Wigginton, who had only four RBIs in his previous 20 games, came to the plate in the seventh batting just .154 this season with runners in scoring position. But he found a pitch to his liking from Blake Hawksworth and lined a double to left field that scored Tulowitzki, who doubled with two outs. Tulowitzki drove in the final run with a ninth-inning single against Hawksworth. The frustrated Dodgers stranded a runner at second in three of the first four innings. Andre Ethier led off the sixth with a routine grounder to shortstop that Tulowitzki bobbled, but he had plenty of time to recover and make the throw because Ethier didnt bother to run it out at full speed. As a result, he heard it from the crowd of 29,976 during his long walk back to third base dugout. Notes: The Rockies recalled INF Chris Nelson from triple-A Colorado Springs to fill the roster spot vacated when Jason Giambi went on the disabled list Tuesday with a strained left quad. ... The Dodgers bullpen was a man short after RHP Kenley Jansen was hospitalized Tuesday night and all day Wednesday with an irregular heartbeat following his seven-pitch save in Clayton Kershaws 3-2 victory. Jansen was expected to be released from White Memorial Medical Center on Thursday after undergoing more tests. ... Wigginton, who dropped a simple fly in left field by Rafael Furcal in Tuesdays game, started at 1B for the seventh time this season and was handcuffed by a pickoff throw from Cook that allowed Furcal to get to second. Cook was charged with the error, his second in 32 starts since the beginning of last season. ... Rockies 1B Todd Helton, 4 for 16 lifetime against Kuroda, wasnt in the starting lineup because manager Jim Tracy wanted to rest him. Helton entered the game in the ninth for defence. Tulowitzki moved up to Heltons No. 3 spot in the lineup and Smith batted cleanup for the second time this season, going 2 for 3 with a pair of intentional walks. wholesale nfl jerseys .

The Philadelphia goaltender posted 41 saves as he backstopped the Flyers to a comeback 4-3 shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks.PITTSBURGH -- The Philadelphia Flyers fell behind. Again. And it didnt matter. Again. Who needs the first period anyway? Not the Flyers, who keep finding increasingly inventive ways to stun the Pittsburgh Penguins. Claude Giroux had three goals and three assists to set a franchise record for points in a playoff game, rookie Sean Couturier had a hat trick of his own and Philadelphia rallied for a wild 8-5 victory Friday night in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series. Two nights after turning an early three-goal deficit into a 4-3 overtime win, the Flyers were even more impressive while taking a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. The Penguins had leads of 2-0, 3-1, 4-3 and 5-4 at home and still couldnt fend off Philadelphia, which did a little bit of everything. The Flyers scored a pair of short-handed goals, added one on the power play and threw in an empty-netter to push a Pittsburgh team considered a Stanley Cup favourite to the brink. "I dont know how many times well be able to do comebacks like that," Giroux said. "Weve got to have a better start." At this point, why bother? Philadelphia scored seven goals in the games final 35 minutes, responding every time it appeared the Penguins were finally ready to take control. Jaromir Jagr and Max Talbot -- both Cup winners in Pittsburgh -- also scored for the Flyers, who host Game 3 on Sunday. "This team can always score goals," said Jagr, who gave Philadelphia its first lead in regulation in the series midway through the third period. "Weve got a lot of guys who can score goals." Including the 19-year-old Couturier. Assigned to slow down Pittsburghs Evgeni Malkin, Couturier outscored the Russian instead for the first hat trick by a Philadelphia rookie since Andy Delmore in 2000. Couturier admitted to feeling some jitters before the series opener. Funny, he hardly looked nervous when his third goal of the night sewed it up with 1:49 remaining before Girouxs empty- netter completed the scoring. "Hes 19, but he plays like hes 28," Giroux said. Ilya Bryzgalov overcame another shaky start to stop 23 shots for the Flyers, who never blinked after getting down by multiple goals for the ninth time in their last 14 games. "You have a choice to win the game or give up," Bryzgalov said. Chris Kunitz had two goals for Pittsburgh, and Sidney Crosby and Tyler Kennedy scored for the second straight game, but the Penguins again failed to close out the Flyers. Paul Martin also scored for Pittsburgh. The Penguins tried to downplay their collapse in the opener, insisting there was plenty of hockey to play. Perhaps, but there might not be much left after anoother stirring comeback by the Flyers.dddddddddddd Philadelphia is 17-0 when it wins the first two games of a series. "Weve got to find a way to be better with the lead," Crosby said. "We know theyre going to keep coming." The Flyers proved it in the third period after Kennedys goal put the Penguins up 5-4. It took Philadelphia just 17 seconds to respond, as Couturier created a turnover and broke in alone on Marc-Andre Fleury. The score seemed to suck all the energy out of the Consol Energy Center and what little remained disappeared when Jagr put the Flyers in front for the first time with less than 11 minutes to go. "We need to limit our mistakes, thats really what it comes down to," Crosby said. "The mistakes weve made have ended up in our net." The ending was in stark contrast to another electric start by the Penguins. Crosby needed all of 15 seconds to give Pittsburgh the lead, working a give-and-go off the opening faceoff with Steve Sullivan and ripping a one-timer by Bryzgalov. The goal tied Pittsburghs franchise mark for fastest goal to start a playoff game, set by Greg Malone against St. Louis in 1981. It also was the quickest allowed by Philadelphia opponent in playoff history, breaking the mark of 21 seconds set by Chicagos Jim Pappin in 1971. The lead grew to 3-1 by the end of the first period. Yet just like Wednesday -- when the Penguins led 3-0 after the first 20 minutes -- it wasnt nearly enough. The Flyers rallied to tie it at 3 behind Giroux, who scored on the power play then beat Fleury with a wrist shot for Philadelphias second short-handed goal of the night. The tie lasted all of 6 seconds, or as long as it took Kunitz to pounce on a rebound and slide the puck into the open net. Still, the Flyers wouldnt back down. Couturier tied it at 4 just before the second intermission horn, erasing all of Pittsburghs momentum and setting the stage for another victory by the NHLs most resilient team. "When youre able to come back in a game like that again it speaks volumes about character in the room," Philadelphia coach Peter Laviolette said. "Fighting back like that is not easy." NOTES: Philadelphia defenceman Marc-Andre Bourdon was scratched after sustaining an upper-body injury in Game 1. ...
