PITTSBURGH -- The ball left Travis Sniders bat and he took off with his head down. The Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder had imagined driving the ball into the Allegheny River since he joined the team last summer. In Sniders daydreams, the homer always went down the right field line, the shortest route out of PNC Park. Reality turned out to be even sweeter. And longer. Sniders 458-foot longball over the bushes in right-centre propelled the Pirates to a 7-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday night. The two-run shot was Sniders first homer since last August, an eternity for a guy once considered a power-hitting prospect. Thats why he didnt look up. Snider thought he had homered earlier in the season and flipped his bat in celebration only to end up with a double. Not this time. He sprinted around the bases without so much as peeking from under his cap to see where the ball landed. "For me its not how far it goes," Snider said. "Its just about getting it over the fence. Its been a struggle, a long nine months or so." Snider finished 3 for 5 with three RBIs, including the 31st homer to end up in the river in the 12-year history of the ballpark. Andrew McCutchen, Starling Marte, Garrett Jones and Russell Martin all had two hits as Pittsburgh won for the sixth time in seven games. Francisco Liriano (2-0) allowed one run on six hits over 5 2-3 innings, striking out seven and walking three. The veteran left-hander reached 96 mph with his fastball and overcame a sloppy first inning before settling down. "I just try to stay calm, not try to do too much, hit my spot and just focus on location," Liriano said. "Pitching is all about location. Im locating my fastball a lot better and my slider is working for me so far." Burgos gave up three runs in five innings but Milwaukees offence sputtered. The Brewers have lost 11 of 13. "I know were going to be fine," Milwaukee centre fielder Carlos Gomez said. "This is a problem that can be fixed because we have good players. Its tough now, though. Its embarrassing. We have a lot of expectations on this team and were not playing up to them." The Pirates sure are. Pittsburgh moved to 24-17 with the win, matching the franchises best start through the first quarter of the season in 21 years. The 1992 Pirates also began the season 24-17 and finished with 96 victories while capturing the NL East. Its also the last time Pittsburgh finished the season with a winning record. "Were in a good place right now," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. The romp capped a dramatic turnaround in one of baseballs most lopsided rivalries. Milwaukee has dominated the Pirates over the last six years, coming into the series 71-25 against Pittsburgh since 2007. Milwaukee won the opener on Monday before the Pirates responded with a 4-3 win on Tuesday in 12 innings. A 3-1 victory followed on Wednesday before Thursdays rout, the first time the Pirates have won three straight against the Brewers in the same series since Aug. 16-18, 2009. Liriano, who signed a two-year free agent contract in the off-season, sparkled in his home debut. The veteran left-hander missed the seasons first six weeks while recovering from a broken right arm. He sailed through his first start, an 11-2 win over the New York Mets last Saturday. Things were a little tighter this time around. The Brewers pushed a run across in the first on an RBI single by Jonathan Lucroy, an inning that could have been bigger if leadoff hitter Norichika Aoki hadnt been gunned down trying to steal second after a leadoff walk and McCutchen didnt rob Ryan Braun of extra bases with a leaping grab at the wall in centre. The veteran left-hander seemed to settle down immediately. He struck out four straight batters at one point and worked out of a trouble spot in the fifth when Jonathan Lucroy flied out to left with two on to preserve a 1-all game. Snider broke the tie in the bottom of the inning. Marte led off with an infield hit then Snider crushed an 85 mph fastball. "I threw a fastball up and down the middle of the plate and he put a good swing on it," Burgos said. Burgos gave up three runs on eight hits with a walk and three strikeouts, and he remains winless since winning his major league debut against the Chicago Cubs on April 20. Milwaukee had a chance in the sixth after Clint Barmes bobbled a potential double-play ball at shortstop. Reliever Justin Wilson came on with two outs and retired pinch-hitter Aramis Ramirez on a fly to left with two on to preserve the lead for Liriano. The Pirates broke it open in the sixth off reliever Alfredo Figaro, ripping off five straight hits to score four runs and give the bullpen plenty of cushion on a night closer Jason Grilli was not available after being given the day off by Hurdle. NOTES: Four-time All-Star reliever Francisco Rodriguez, called up from Triple-A Nashville early Thursday, struck out one batter during his perfect inning of work ... Pittsburgh RHP Charlie Morton, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, pitched four innings in a rehab start at Double-A Altoona on Thursday. Morton gave up two runs on two hits with one walk and one strikeout. His next start will come at Triple-A Indianapolis next week ... The Pirates open a three-game series with Houston on Friday. Jeanmar Gomez (2-0, 2.28 ERA) starts for the Pirates against Houstons Jordan Lyles (1-1, 8.36) ... Milwaukee travels to St. Louis Friday. Wily Peralta (3-3, 5.40) faces Jaime Garcia (4-2, 2.88). http://www.brownsjerseysauthentic.com/elite-brian-hoyer-browns-jersey/. The Blue Jays will start lefty Ricky Romero, the sixth overall pick in the 2005 draft, while the Royals counter with righty Luke Hochevar, the No. 1 overall selection in the 2006 draft. Toronto got the upper hand in the series on Wednesday, when Adam Lind belted the second grand slam of his career and Jayson Nix added a three-run blast in a 9-8 win. http://www.brownsjerseysauthentic.com/elite-montario-hardesty-browns-jersey/.

Thatcher is 0-4 with a 3.42 earned run average in 40 appearances. The sore knee prevented him from pitching in Miami over the weekend. The Padres replaced him by calling up right-handed reliever Brad Boxberger from Triple-A Tucson before the opener of their series against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.AUBURN, Ala. -- This resembled last seasons Auburn team for about three blurry minutes. Before that, the defending national champions could barely keep up with a supposedly overmatched Utah State team. Mike Dyer bulled through the line for a game-saving touchdown with 30 seconds left and the 23rd-ranked Tigers scored twice in the final 2:07 to escape with an opening 42-38 win over the Aggies on Saturday. Coach Gene Chiziks blunt assessment: "Offensively and defensively were a long way off of being able to win very many games right now." And it showed against a team that probably should have been physically overwhelmed, but wasnt. The Tigers still pulled off their fourth comeback from a double-digit deficit in the last 13 games -- and allowed hundreds of celebrating fans to head to Toomers Corner to roll the once-stately, now sickly oak trees that were allegedly poisoned by an Alabama fan. "As theyve done so many times since Ive been here, they found a way to come back and win," Chizik said. "Thats kind of been instilled in this group that you never look at the clock and the scoreboard until it says zero-zero-zero. "In that regard, we were thrilled that we won the game today. Everybody who saw the game realizes that we did not play well as a football team. Theres no excuse for that." The Aggies (0-1) seemed poised for a stunning victory before Auburns final rally. First-time starting quarterback Barrett Trotter hit Philip Lutzenkirchen for a 15-yard touchdown to start a Cam Newton-like comeback. Then wide receiver Emory Blake collected the onside kick to set up the game-winning drive. Trotter completed three passes and Onterio McCalebb had runs of 10 and 14 yards to push the ball near the goal line. BCS title game MVP Dyer did the rest, ducking his head and powering through Utah State defenders from a yard out. Poised freshman quarterback Chuckie Keeton couldnt muster a threat in the final seconds for the Aggies, who also tested Oklahoma in last years opener. Utah State twice led by double digits against a team clearly feeling the effects of the departures of numerous starters from last years national champions, including defensive tackle Nick Fairley and Heisman winner Newton, who repeatedly led the Tigers from behind during their 14-0 run last season. Only that 24-point deficit against Alabama might have been a more improbable comeback than this one from 10 points down in the final 3:38. The Tigers came in as three-touchdown favourites, but also as a question mark with 19 new starters. They managed to avoid an embarrassing openinng loss against a team that has now lost 44 straight road games against Top 25 teams and was starting a freshman at quarterback.dddddddddddd "I felt like we were stronger than them," Utah State coach Gary Andersen said. "I felt like we were faster than them. I felt like they made plays when they had to, and we didnt." Lutzenkirchen didnt disagree with that assessment. "We were wrong for thinking coming in that they might be a cupcake team and they really ran it down our throat the first half," he said. "We got lucky with this one." Trotter completed a solid starting debut with a huge finale. He was 17 of 23 for 261 yards and three touchdowns. Trotter marched the Tigers downfield quickly before hitting an open Lutzenkirchen to keep them alive. He followed a 13-yard completion to Travante Stallworth with a 9-yarder to McCalebb and a 7-yarder to Lutzenkirchen, one of Newtons favourite red zone targets last season. Then, Blake came up with another big play with his midair scoop of Chandler Brooks kick. "It unfolded pretty much exactly the way you draw it up," Chizik said. Blake also caught a 56-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. Auburn still wound up trailing 21-7 in the second quarter but one of the many youngsters the Tigers are relying on came up big. Freshman Tre Mason returned a kick 97 yards to close the gap. Dyer added an 11-yard touchdown to tie it midway through the third quarter. Josh Thompson added a 34-yard field goal and the Tigers didnt take the lead until Trotters 39-yard touchdown to Stallworth late in the third quarter, making it 28-24. It didnt last. Keeton faked a handoff, went left and got the nose of the ball across the goal line for a 31-28 lead with 11:20 left. Robert Turbin then scored a 1-yard touchdown run with 3:38 left to push the lead back to 10 after Andersen rolled the dice in a big way. Facing fourth down deep in Auburn territory, the Aggies successfully faked a field goal, completing a pass by holder Stanley Morrison for a first down. Keeton completed 21 of 30 passes for 213 yards and ran for 33 in his debut after beating out junior college transfer Adam Kennedy. Andersen didnt announce a starter before the game. Close wasnt comforting for an Aggies team that wanted more. "I dont think you guys understand how much this hurts," Turbin said. "When youre up 10 four minutes to go and you lose, youve got the defending national champions on the ropes and you lose -- the focus right now is to win. Period. Thats it. I dont care about nothing else." ' ' '
