SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Frank Gore carries a heavy load every week for the 49ers and it will be more of the same when San Francisco hosts the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. "Frank is one of the best, if not the best, back in the league," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said Friday. "So, hes going to run and hes feeling good. He had a good week at practice." Gore, who gained 58 yards on 23 carries last Sunday against the Rams, and cornerback Tarell Brown took a little time off to heal nagging injuries this week -- but both insisted they will be ready for the Dolphins. "I could play right now," Gore said. "I feel all right." Gore is nursing a wrist problem, while Browns hamstring has been problematic. "Ill be fine, I just have to listen to the trainers," Brown said. "I just needed a day to let it rest." San Francisco will be trying to rebound from a 16-13 overtime loss to St. Louis. "Weve responded well," Brown said. "You never want to lose, but at the same time its part of the game. You just have to stay focused." Harbaugh said there were two ways to respond after a loss. "Youre ticked off, and when youre ticked off youre going to do one of two things: Youre going to come back and do something about it, or you go cower in the corner and shrivel up in the fetal position," he said. "I havent seen any of the latter around here. You come back, chest somebody up and lets do something about it." Wide receiver Mario Manningham remains doubtful with a shoulder injury, and several other players are listed as probable. Manninghams absence could clear the way for rookie A.J. Jenkins to make an impact. "Yes, Ive seen progress from A.J.," Harbaugh said. "Hes been on his assignments. Hes executed well when hes been out there. Hes given great effort and football rewards that effort." Gore, who went to the University of Miami, needs 28 yards rushing against the Dolphins to reach 1,000 for the sixth time. Only the Rams Steven Jackson has more 1,000-yard seasons (seven) among active players. Gore also needs one touchdown to match Roger Craig and Joe Perry (50) for most in franchise history. "Whatever it takes," Gore said. "If theres a successful play and we win, and Im part of it, Im good." Harbaugh did say the coaching staff has been talking about ways to share the load at running back. "Its part of the game plan," he said. "We have some other backs that we feel confident with." The 49ers have won nine consecutive home games in December, second only to the New England Patriots (19). The Dolphins have won the past two meetings between the teams, the last on Dec. 14, 2008, in Miami. The Dolphins also won in San Francisco in 2004. The 49ers last beat Miami at home in 2001. NOTES: Dolphins OT Jonathan Martin played for Harbaugh at Stanford. ... The 49ers defence has allowed 23 opposing drives to reach the red zone, the fewest in the NFL. cheap jerseys china us .

NEW YORK -- Brandon Phillips loves to fool around in the field during batting practice, trying all sorts of "crazy" stuff with his glove. Its fun and besides, someday those tricks might come in handy. As in the sixth inning Sunday. The star second baseman made a between-the-legs flip to start a flashy double play and also hit a tiebreaking single, leading Johnny Cueto and the Cincinnati Reds over the New York Mets 3-1 for their sixth straight win. "It just happened," the three-time Gold Glove winner said. "It just came naturally." Naturally, said Reds manager Dusty Baker. "Anything you see him do out there, hes practiced," Baker said. "Bare hand, behind-the-back." The NL Central leaders completed their first three-game sweep in New York since 2001 and matched their longest winning streak of the season. The Reds also finished 6-2 this year in visits to Citi Field and Yankee Stadium. Cueto (8-3) overcame an early bout of dizziness and struck out a season-high eight in seven innings. He also doubled for the first extra-base hit of his career. The only run against Cueto came when he issued a bases-loaded walk to pitcher Chris Young -- at 6-foot-10, the Mets starter has a strike zone as large as anyone in the majors. Sean Marshall got four outs for his ninth save in 10 chances. It was 3-1 in the sixth when Lucas Duda led off with a single and Ike Davis followed with a hard grounder up the middle that Phillips backhanded. While in full stride, the All-Star tossed the ball with his bare hand between his legs to shortstop Zack Cozart, who made the DP relay. Phillips broke into a big smile after his latest highlight-reel play. "Id probably give it an 8 1/2," Phillips said. Phillips single capped a three-run rally in the fifth, helped by Dudas wild throw from right. There was plenty of wildlife on the field, too -- a squirrel scampered into the Reds dugout in the ninth, and several pigeons spent part of the game wandering around the infield dirt. Phillips noted that the birds stayed on the left side of the infield, closer to third baseman Miguel Cairo. "He had the pumpkin seeds," Phillips said. As for the squirrel, "I dont like them. I dont like things that cant talk." Young (1-1) gave up two earned runs in seven innings. His four-game winning streak, which began in 2010 and was prolonged by a series of injuries, came to an end. Davis, whose dad, Ron, was a longtime pitcher in the majors, scored New Yorks onlyy run on Fathers Day when Young walked with two outs in second.dddddddddddd Cincinnati outscored the Mets 14-5, right after New York outscored pitching-rich Tampa Bay 29-9 while sweeping a three-game series. "We got outpitched, we got outhit," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "They did exactly what weve been doing, and that is they get the top of the order up with that outstanding middle of the lineup they have to come in and drive in runs." Cueto had been 0-3 lifetime against the Mets and had consistently been hit hard by them. He allowed six hits and walked one. Cueto had gone 216 at-bats at the plate with only singles until he crept up in the batters box and led off with an opposite-field drive that bounced over the right-field wall in the third. He was left stranded and then in the bottom of the inning, he threw one pitch and needed a break. Baker and a trainer went to Cueto and eventually a cup was brought to give the right-hander a drink. Cueto also got some medication for his stomach. After his double "my eyes were blurry," he said through a translator. "I was dizzy. I felt like I wanted to drop." Cozart doubled with two outs in the fifth and scored the tying run on a single by Wilson Valdez. Joey Votto was intentionally walked and Phillips hit an RBI single, with another run scoring when Dudas throw to third bounced into the stands for an error. NOTES: A day after the Mets put LF Jason Bay on the 7-day disabled list for concussions, Collins said it was too early to predict his future. "Im really worried about the severity of this injury," Collins said. "Theres always the possibility that he doesnt bounce back." ... Two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning threw out the first ball as part of a promotion to celebrate Fathers Day. "Id like to get up on the mound, toe the rubber, whip it in there," said the Giants QB and former high school 2B. Instead, clutching 15-month-old daughter, Ava, in his left arm, he lobbed a toss to Mets star David Wright from the grass. Manning said he took a few warmups in the bullpen during his first trip to Citi Field. Asked whether he preferred the Mets or Yankees, he smartly answered: "Im a New York fan." ...
