VANCOUVER -- The Vancouver Whitecaps will have more offensive options available on Saturday as they look to improve their Major League Soccer road show against the New England Revolution. Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap . Strikers Darren Mattocks and Etienne Barbara, who were sidelined with injuries at the outset of the season, both travelled with the team for the game in Foxboro, Mass., after making impressive debuts in Wednesdays Amway Canadian Championship series-clinching win over Edmonton. "Those players will be exciting players for this club," said Whitecaps coach Martin Rennie. "They give us a different dimension, and I think well enjoy seeing them." Mattocks and Barbara are in position to bolster a Vancouver team that has posted three straight league wins and five overall but struggled to score away from B.C. Place Stadium. The Whitecaps (5-2-2) have only scored three of their nine goals this season on the road. Injury-riddled New England (3-6-0) has surrendered 12 goals to date -- but only three at home. Although Mattocks and Barbara were gone from the Whitecaps lineup and off fans radar, they were not forgotten, said Rennie. "All along, weve known that those two guys are impact players -- players with pace, great movement, can finish -- and weve missed them all the way through the season up until now," said Rennie, whose club sports a 2-1-1 road record. "No one else really probably thought about it, but we definitely knew that." Mattocks, a 21-year-old native of Portmore, Jamaica, suffered burns to his shoulder and arm in a cooking accident at home in March. The former University of Akron star was Vancouvers top choice, just second overall, in this years SuperDraft. Until recently, he could not partake in physical exercise, because sweat hampered the healing process, according to Rennie. "Since getting better, Ive been really working on my fitness," said Mattocks. "Thats the most important thing for me right now." The five-foot-10 and 155-pound speedster made almost an immediate impact Wednesday as he subbed on in the 74th minute and scored an insurance goal in added time during Vancouvers 3-1 comeback victory. The strong offensive showing carried over from his two oustanding college seasons. In 2011, he finished second in NCAA scoring with 21 goals and four assists in 22 games with Akron, earning him Mid-Atlantic Conference player of the year and first team all-star honours. The year before, he finished third in NCAA scoring with 18 goals and five assists while helping Akron win its first national championship in any sport. He was also named his conferences newcomer of the year. Since he plays soccer every day, the return to Vancouvers lineup was easy after the burns healed sufficiently. "This (cooking incident) is in the past," he said. "Ive just gotta concentrate on building my team and moving forward." Barbara, a 29-year-old native of Pieta, Malta, played for Rennie the past two seasons with Carolina RailHawks of the second-tier North American Soccer League, where he scored 20 goals and aded 12 assists in 27 regular-season games in 2011 and was named the circuits most valuable player. The Whitecaps acquired his MLS rights in a January trade from the Montreal Impact for Vancouvers 2012 supplemental draft pick Gienir Garcia. However, Barbara was sidelined by a sports hernia linked to a groin injury that has bothered him over the past decade. Although he has recovered to the point where he can play, the injury will still require ongoing exercises designed to strengthen the area. "Im happy to be back on the field -- finally," said Barbara. His happiness showed Wednesday after he came on in the 85th minute, made a strong run with the ball and drew a penalty kick. He was unlucky not to score as his shot hit goalkeeper David Monsalves hand and then struck the post and bounced away. Barbara said the run leading up to the penalty kick immediately elevated his confidence level. Now, hes hoping to make more contributions in league action. "My personal goal is to get fitter, get healthier and get my game going again," he said. Before coming to North America, Barbara spent the first 10 years of his pro career with five teams in the Maltese Premier League, and played two seasons in the German Regionalliga West with Sportclub Verl. English Premier League club Sheffield Wednesday gave him a tryout after his tenure, but opted not to sign him. He described himself as a player who lives to score goals. "Id rather have a bad game and score goals than have a good game and not score goals," he said. Barbara does not expect to start against the Revolution, but hopes to "find some minutes." With the late surge against Edmonton, the Whitecaps displayed the offensive finish that Rennie has been seeking much of the season. But a strong start to the game will also be important. The Whitecaps have only scored three first-half goals in league play. While Mattocks and Barbaras availability poses some tough decisions for Rennie against New England, it also creates some long-term implications. Vancouver now has a surplus of talented forwards who will face tougher battles for playing time. "Its going to make things even more interesting," said Barbara. Notes--Vancouver striker Atiba Harris, bothered by a bruised thigh, did not make the trip. ... New England will play without defender Flo Lechner (fractured foot), midfielders Ryan Guy (calf) and Sainey Nyassi (hamstring), and strikers Zak Boggs (ankle), Jose Moreno (calf), and Jeremiah White (concussion). ... This is the lone meeting between the teams this season. The Whitecaps recorded a draw and a loss against New England last season. In the memorable tie, Vancouver striker Eric Hassli was ejected after he scored on a penalty kick, threw his jersey into the crowd, and earn his second yellow card of the game.

Strasburg, who is 15-6 with a 2.94 ERA and leads the National League with 195 strikeouts, had Tommy John surgery to replace an elbow ligament two years ago. ATLANTA -- Adam Jones had a one-word description of the Orioles second straight shutout win: "Chen-sational." Wei-Yin Chen combined with four relievers on a seven-hitter and Baltimore continued its success in interleague play by beating the Atlanta Braves 2-0 on Sunday. The Braves, who have lost six of seven, were shut out in back-to-back games for the first time since June 5-6, 2009. Jason Hammel threw a one-hitter in a 5-0 victory for the Orioles on Saturday night. Jones said Hammel and Chen dominated by staying ahead in the count. "Its been pretty fun to watch from centre field," Jones said. "The important part of it is they always started with strike one. Theyve been able to do what they want because theyve been ahead in counts." The Orioles, who remained 1 1/2 games behind the first-place New York Yankees in the AL East, have won seven of eight. They are 9-3 in interleague play with series wins over Washington, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Atlanta. Chen (7-2) gave up six hits and one walk in seven innings to outpitch Randall Delgado (4-7), who allowed only two runs and three hits in eight innings. Orioles manager Buck Showalter applauded Chens ability to successfully bunt and field bunts -- no small feat for an American League pitcher from Taiwan. Chens sacrifice helped the Orioles score a run in the sixth. "Its something you work on in spring training and it could be a difference-maker in the game, and I think it was today," Showalter said. Chen fielded a poor bunt by Delgado in the third to start a double play that helped spoil a scoring opportunity for Atlanta. "Im sure they were rolling their eyes in spring training as we were going over and over bunt defence, being an American League East team," Showalter said. "It was nice that it helped us and made a difference." Still, Chen is no fan of interleague play. "Not really, because I hate hitting," he said through a translator. Jim Johnson pitched a perfect ninth for his 20th save. Darren ODay, Troy Patton and Pedro Strop combined for a scoreless eighth. Delgados eight innings matched his longest start. He walked one batter and struck out six. Jones led off the second with a ground-rule double to right field. After moving to third on Wilson Betemits fly ball, Jones scored on Mark Reynolds sacrifice fly. "They did a good job of executing small ball," Braves catcher David Ross said. "They played the game the way its supposed to be played." A misplay by Matt Diaz helped Baltimore stretch the lead in the sixth. Diaz ran in before stopping too late and watching a line drive by Steve Pearce sail over his head for a double to the left-field wall. Pearce advanceed on the sacrifice by Chen and scored when Delgado balked with Robert Andino at the plate. Wholesale NFL Jerseys Store. Delgado balked as he tried to move from the stretch to a full windup. "You just have to do that step-off, but I didnt," he said. The Braves lost two of three to the Orioles after being swept in three games by the Yankees. One day after being shut out by Hammel, the Braves sputtered again as they hit into double plays in each of the first three innings. "We played well, same as we did in the Yankees series, but weve got nothing to show for it," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We outhit them (7-4) again today and got nothing to show for it." Showalter said the Orioles "got some breaks here" by facing the Braves when first baseman Freddie Freeman missed the series with a sore finger. "The only thing we need to avoid is pressing," said Braves third baseman Chipper Jones, who was 0 for 3 with a walk. "Youd still like to think you can go out there and score three runs no matter whos in the ballgame." Ross and Andrelton Simmons led off the third with singles before Delgado bounced a bunt too hard toward Chen, who threw to third to start a double play. Simmons advanced to third on a throwing error by Andino at second base, but Michael Bourn ended the inning on a groundout. The third was the only inning in which the Braves managed more than one hit. Showalter said he was impressed by the play of Simmons, the rookie shortstop who in the third inning made a tough grab of a sharply hit grounder by Jones and bounced up to make a strong throw to first to end the inning. Atlantas Eric OFlaherty, who had been out with a sore left elbow, got one out in the ninth in his first appearance since June 8.
