DETROIT -- Since May 1, the Houston Astros have been one of the best teams in baseball. Matt Barkley College Jersey . No one would have been able to tell that this weekend, however.The Astros gave up six runs in the first inning Sunday on their way to an 11-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers, finishing off a lopsided series sweep. Detroit outscored Houston 28-8 in the three games.This wasnt our day, it wasnt our weekend and it wasnt our series, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. We need to pack our stuff and get out of here.The Tigers, who began the day one game behind Boston for the second American League wild-card spot, have now won six straight -- including a sweep at Fenway Park. The win extended Detroits lead over Houston to 1 1/2 games.It is easy to be confident when you have won six in a row, but weve always felt like this team was going to be in the race, said Justin Upton, who also homered for Detroit. This is a really good team, and were getting hot at the same time were getting healthy.Two days after scoring nine runs in the first two innings off Collin McHugh, the Tigers were all over Dallas Keuchel in the first. Seven of the first eight batters reached base, capped off by James McCanns grand slam to make it 6-0. Only Cameron Maybin getting thrown out on the bases kept the defending Cy Young winner from giving up more runs in the inning.A couple tough-luck plays kind of extended that inning, and then I elevated a pitch to McCann, Keuchel said. That was the difference maker.Keuchel (6-11) allowed seven runs and seven hits in five innings, walking three and striking out four.Mike Pelfrey (4-9) got the win, pitching five shutout innings and allowing four hits and a walk while striking out four. He has now allowed one or fewer runs in five of his last eight starts.Pelfrey, though, was forced out by tightness in his back, and was having an MRI after the game.The Astros loaded the bases in the third, but Pelfrey got out of the jam by retiring Carlos Correa on a broken-bat grounder to third. Houston had them loaded again in the seventh, but Bruce Rondon struck out Correa.Cabrera made it 7-0 with a fifth-inning homer off Keuchel, and Mike Aviles added an eighth run in the next inning. He doubled off Scott Feldman and scored on Jose Iglesiass one-out sacrifice fly.After Feldman hit Maybin to start the seventh, Cabrera hit his second homer and Upton added a solo shot later in the inning.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: 1B Marwin Gonzalez (hand) and OF Carlos Gomez (hamstring) were both out of the starting lineup, leaving OF Jake Marisnick as the only healthy position player on Houstons bench. Gonzalez, who got hurt Friday night, is scheduled to see a hand specialist on Monday.Tigers: OF J.D. Martinez (elbow) went 2 for 5 for Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, and is now hitting .350 after four games of a rehab assignment. He still hasnt played the field, but the Tigers are hoping to have him back by weeks end.OLD FRIENDSMcCanns first-inning homer was the first grand slam of his career and the 15th home run. Not only did the grand slam come against Keuchel -- his college teammate at Arkansas -- he has also homered twice against Drew Smyly, who also played with them with the Razorbacks.FIRST HITHouston rookie Alex Bregman got his first career hit in the third inning, ending an 0-for-18 start. Cabrera called for the ball and ceremoniously presented it to Bregman, who tossed it to the Astros dugout.UP NEXTAstros: Return home for the first of four games with Toronto. The Astros may have to start rookie Joe Musgrove, because scheduled starter Doug Fister is with his wife, who is about to give birth to the couples first child. The Blue Jays havent announced their rotation for the series.Tigers: Off Monday before hosting the White Sox for three games. Anibal Sanchez (5-11, 6.56) is scheduled to start the opener against James Shields (5-12, 4.68). Marcus Allen College Jersey .

Tests earlier this week revealed a Grade 2 left hamstring strain for Sabathia, who was hurt in last Fridays start against San Francisco. Its an injury that will require about eight weeks to heal. He finished a disappointing campaign just 14-13 with a career-worst 4. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Mitch Trubiskys wait is finally over.The quarterback will make his first career start Saturday for No. 22 North Carolina in the opener against No. 18 Georgia in Atlanta. It comes after two years of preparation with only spot game action and plenty of watching from the sideline.Its exciting just because I guess the label comes with it, Trubisky said. Im going out there as a starter. Im one of the leaders of this offense, so I do feel theres more responsibility on my shoulders, which makes it more special for me.Its the same offense. I do have a good amount of experience, so I think that give me confidence.Trubisky, a 6-foot-3 junior from Mentor, Ohio, arrived in January 2013 as one of head coach Larry Fedoras first recruits as he installed a fast-paced spread offense at UNC. He was the guy many expected to be the Tar Heels long-term quarterback once starter Bryn Renners career was done, but he instead ended up playing behind dual-threat Marquise Williams for two seasons.As Williams moved the chains and directed an offense that set school records during an 11-win season, Trubisky kept working and waiting. Now with Williams gone, Fedora named Trubisky the starter in the spring so he could come into preseason camp as the unquestioned leader.Now its time to see what Trubisky will do in a game in that role.Im convinced hes our guy, so theres no question about that, Fedora said. Coming off the bench in a relief role and being the starter, there is a difference there. There will be a bit of a learning curve for him in that aspect. You dont have time to ease into the game. Youve got to roll.But his role doesnt change. Its take care of the football and lets movee the chains. Brian Cushing College Jersey. Thats it.New Georgia coach Kirby Smart doesnt look at Trubisky as a newcomer. He figures the past two years of experience have prepared Trubisky to play Saturday.Hes probably the best quarterback that nobody knows about, because in my mind its almost like hes a returning starter because of what he played early in the year, Smart said, and the guy does a really good job with offense.Trubisky has thrown just 125 career passes, but he has responded in a handful of key moments despite coming in cold off the bench for a single play.Two years ago, he came on when Williams had to leave the game after losing his helmet on a play and threw the winning 16-yard touchdown pass with 4:05 left in a 28-27 win at Virginia. Then last year, he did it two more times when Williams again lost his helmet on a play -- first by throwing a first-quarter touchdown pass at North Carolina State, then by throwing a third-down pass to move the chains against then-No. 1 Clemson in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.The difference now is those moments will come in much more than one-snap chances.I dont really feel I have anything to prove to anyone else except my teammates who have always believed in me to this point, who have stuck by me in thick and thin, Trubisky said. I just want to go out there and do it for them. Theyve seen me do it in practice so I want to go out and do it for them on Saturdays.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap and the APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
