CLEARWATER, Fla. - Roy Halladay was yanked in the third inning after getting rocked in the Minnesota Twins 6-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. Halladay allowed five runs and seven hits, including two homers, in 2 2-3 innings. Halladay gave up a long three-run homer to Chris Parmelee in the third. He left after walking the next batter on four pitches. It was a rare sight to see the eight-time All-Star and two-time Cy Young Award winner struggle like this. Halladay is 40-16 with a 2.40 ERA, 17 complete games and five shutouts in his two seasons with the Phillies. Twins starter Jason Marquis gave up four runs and eight hits in four innings. Josh Willingham hit a solo shot off Halladay in the first. His RBI single in the third tied it 2-2. BRAVES 6, NATIONALS 5 KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) -- Dan Uggla and Jason Heyward homered off Stephen Strasburg and Atlanta rallied for a win over Washington. Strasburg, making his third start, gave up five hits and four runs over four innings, walking two and striking out one. He has a 7.45 ERA this spring. Top prospect Bryce Harper returned to the Nationals lineup after missing a week with a calf strain and played centre field for the first time this spring. He was 0 for 2 with a walk. Chad Tracy and Jesus Flores homered for Washington in the fourth inning off Braves rookie starter Julio Teheran, who allowed six homers against Detroit in his spring debut two starts ago. Braves third baseman Chipper Jones, hitless in his first 10 at-bats, bounced a single through the infield off left-handed reliever Tom Gorzelanny leading off the fifth. TIGERS 7, METS 6, 10 INNINGS LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) -- Prince Fielder homered and had three hits. Fielders two-run homer came off Mets starter Dillon Gee in the fourth inning. Delmon Young had two hits for the Tigers, including a two-run single in a four-run fifth -- all unearned -- against Mets left-hander Chuck James. Gee struck out five in four innings in his third spring start. Detroit starter Max Scherzer did not get through the Mets four-run third. After giving up a hit and two walks and hitting Zach Lutz with a pitch, Scherzer was replaced by Casey Crosby. Daniel Schlereth pitched two innings of shutout relief for the win. Quintin Berry drove in Andy Dirks with the winning run in the 10th inning. WHITE SOX 9, ANGELS 7 GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Albert Pujols hit his first two homers for the Angels and Ervin Santana exited after being hit by a line drive in Los Angeles loss. Santana left with a bruised right arm after Alexei Ramirezs liner struck him in the shoulder with one out in the second inning. As he iced the shoulder, Santana said no X-ray was planned. Pujols hit a three-run homer off left-hander Chris Sale in the third inning. Then he hit a solo shot off Anthony Carter in the fifth. After Santana was hit, he was able to field the ball and throw out Ramirez at first base. Santana allowed a run and a hit in 1 1-3 innings. Sale allowed five runs in 4 1-3 innings. The White Soxs Tyler Flowers and Adam Dunn, and the Angels Howie Kendrick each homered. GIANTS 2, INDIANS 2, 10 INNINGS SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- San Francisco catcher Buster Posey made his first spring hit count as he recovers from a serious leg injury, hitting a home run. Serving as the DH, Posey hit a 1-1 pitch from left-hander Tony Sipp just inside the foul pole in right field to tie the game in the sixth inning. Giants closer Brian Wilson, coming back from an elbow injury that put him on the disabled list for the final six weeks of 2011, pitched a hitless, scoreless fifth inning. BLUE JAYS 7, YANKEES 5 DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) -- New York Yankees pitcher Freddy Garcia sustained a bruised right hand in the fourth inning when he was hit by a comebacker off the bat of Edwin Encarnacion, who also hit two home runs. Garcia, who allowed Encarnacions homer in the second inning, immediately came out of the game and was taken to Tampa, where Dr. Allen Miller, the Yankees Tampa-based orthopedic surgeon, treated him. X-rays were taken. There was no immediate additional information. Encarnacion, safe at first, scored on J.P. Arencibias second homer, off Cory Wade, to put the Blue Jays ahead 3-1. Encarnacion then homered off Manny Banuelos in the fifth. Curtis Granderson had an RBI double in the third inning that scored Derek Jeter. ASTROS 4, CARDINALS 3 JUPITER, Fla. (AP) -- St. Louis starter Lance Lynn retired the final eight batters he faced in the loss. Lynn was destined for the bullpen when spring training opened. But the Cardinals said this week Lynn would be treated like a starter until Chris Carpenter shows he can return to the rotation. A 24-year-old right-hander, Lynn made his major league debut in 2011, going 1-1 in 18 appearances (two starts) with a 3.12 ERA. He appeared in 10 post-season games and was 2-0. His two spring appearances before Wednesday came in relief. Lynn allowed a pair of one-out singles in the first Wednesday before striking out Jack Cust and inducing a lazy fly ball from Jimmy Paredes. He cruised through his final two innings without allowing a base runner. PIRATES 11, ORIOLES 5 SARASOTA, Fla.

(AP) -- Anibal Sanchez was dominant in his spring debut, striking out four in two scoreless innings. The right-hander, whose debut had been pushed back due to soreness in the back side of his right shoulder, allowed two hits. Jeremy Hellickson, making his second spring start -- and third appearance -- gave up four runs on four hits with a walk and three strikeouts in three innings. A scary moment occurred in the top of the fourth inning when Rays outfielders B.J. Upton and Desmond Jennings collided chasing a flyball by Austin Kearns. It was ruled an inside-the-park home run, and the speedy outfielders were carted off the field. Both Upton and Jennings told reporters they are OK. BREWERS 10, CUBS 2 MESA, Ariz. (AP) -- George Kottaras doubled twice and drove in five runs.

Richard, who didnt pitch after July 4, pitched three innings in his second spring game., Richard allowed two runs on two hits and struck out two.

Ellis and Adam Kennedy homered off Homer Bailey, who is up against Aroldis Chapman for the fifth spot in the Reds starting rotation. Bailey surrendered six runs on six hits and three walks.

Trent Oeltjen tripled home two runs in the first inning for the Dodgers but was thrown out at the plate. ROCKIES (SS) 7, DIAMONDBACKS (SS) 4 SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Carlos Gonzalez hit a three-run homer in the first inning and added an RBI single in the third, and Colorado Rockies scored seven times in the first three innings.

LOUIS -- The St.BOSTON - Every night for the last three weeks, Jeremy Abbott had the same nightmare. Hed implode in the short program of the U.S. Championships, buried in seventh place with an Olympic berth out of reach. "I would wake up crying, and it was just horrifying," he said. The reality Friday was nothing like that. A spotless performance set a U.S. record with 99.86 points in his final nationals before retiring. "I wouldnt say it was a dream, because I was very in it," Abbott said. "I was very focused and very aware of what I was doing the entire program. I think thats why it was as good as it was." The three-time U.S. champ leads Richard Dornbush by 7.82 points heading into Sundays free skate. "Honestly, I have much more confidence in the long program than I do in the short program," Abbott said. The only time he came close to falling was when he nearly tumbled during his celebration afterward. The three jumps were perfect, his footwork exuberant. Hes dazzled like this before at U.S. Championships, but there have been few of these moments since his last title two years ago. Abbott often struggled as he overhauled his training program. "When things didnt work at competition, I believed in what weve done," he said. "And I just kept plugging at it, and it paid off tonight." Usually he bubbles with energy in the lead-up to nationals, his favourite event. The 28-year-old Abbott felt strangely nonchalant this year until the day before he headed to Boston. "I just realized that I was leaving and this was the last one," Abbott said. "I had this flood of emotion and excitement and fear and dread and passion and everything. Since Ive been here, its been really joyous." World champions Meryl Davis and Charlie White felt the same way earlier Friday in their short dance. The 2010 Olympic silver medallists are well on their way to a sixth straight U.S. title. Skating to selections from "My Fair Lady," Davis and White broke their own record with 80.69 points to build more than a seven-point lead on Madison Chock and Evan Bates. Siblings Maia and Alex Shibutani were third; three teams will go to Sochi. The free dance is Saturday. "This is the first time we felt comfortable enough to let things happen naturally," Davis said. "This is the fifth time weere competing the program.dddddddddddd With this program, its all about being comfortable enough to let things happen naturally, and when you reach a point where it can be just fun, thats what we really enjoy about skating." Abbott has enjoyed U.S. Championships far more than major international competitions in his career. He beat Evan Lysacek at the 2010 nationals before the last Olympics, only to finish ninth when his countryman captured gold in Vancouver. Abbott held the previous U.S. mark for a short program, 90.23 at the 2012 nationals. Dornbush, 22, has struggled since coming in second in 2011 and didnt even compete in the Grand Prix series this season. Only the second skater of the night, he was spectacular from the get-go Friday, landing a perfect quad and triple axel that had the fans entranced. By the time his 2 1/2-minute program was done, the crowd was on its feet, Dornbush was on his knees throwing an imaginary punch through the air and celebrating a career best. "Im not sure any thoughts went through my head," he said. "I was pretty excited, pretty pumped." Jason Brown was in third after a smokin skate to Princes "The Question of U." He even wore a black and purple costume embellished with rhinestones around his neck and down his back and side, plus Princes "love symbol" on the back. He nailed a triple axel and a triple flip-triple toe loop with gorgeous flow to open the program. Brown, who just turned 19, added a lutz with both hands above his head, footwork that meshed with every element and with every nuance of the music, and speedy spins that had the crowd roaring. "I think the whole season has pushed every guy to just really push themselves to their limits because anything is possible at this event," he said. Defending champion Max Aaron was fourth, one of five skaters to land a clean quad. The U.S. will send two men to Sochi. Abbott knows exactly what stands between him and a shot at Olympic redemption: eight jumping passes, 13 jumps, three spins and two series of footwork. "That was just fun," he said. "I love to figure skate. When you hit all the technical stuff and you do all the athletic part, thats when you can really enjoy the performance." ___ AP Sports Writers Barry Wilner and Jimmy Golen contributed to this report. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheapjerseyswholesale wholesale jerseys ' ' '
