CHICAGO -- Astros manager Brad Mills was pretty certain the review would go his way. Nike Free 3.0 v4 Femme . "When I saw it, the ball got mixed up somehow in the ivy," Mills said. "If the ball went over the fence and then came back, theres no way going to hit the ivy. Its an impossibility." Brett Myers benefited from a reversed homer call to beat the Cubs again and Clint Barmes had a two-run single to help the Houston Astros to a 3-2 victory over Chicago on Sunday. With Chicago down by a run in the eighth and Starlin Castro on first, Carlos Pena hit a drive to left that was initially ruled a two-run homer. The call was overturned after umpires reviewed video of the play. Pena was given a double and Castro was put on third base, then Marlon Byrd flied out to end the threat. The inning started off in strange fashion when Darwin Barneys medium-depth fly to right was missed by Brian Bogusevic in right field and rolled to the warning track. Barney reached third standing up on a three-base error. After Castro walked, pinch-hitter Aramis Ramirez hammered a drive to the right-field wall that Bogusevic tracked down with a nice running catch, scoring Barney. "Bogie lost that one ball in the lights, but he came back and made a great play on Ramirezs sac fly," Mills said. Myers struck out Bryan LaHair before Pena hit a flyball to left that was originally ruled a two-run homer after appearing to strike the wall behind the basket in front of the fence and bounce back onto the field. After Mills protested, the umpires reviewed video of the play and determined that Penas ball struck the front of the basket. Cubs manager Mike Quade ran onto the field to argue and was eventually ejected by third base umpire Marty Foster. Quade admitted that the umpires were correct in reversing the home run, but felt that Castro should have scored on the play. "Martys got the decision on whether its a home run or not, and hes also got the decision on where the runner is," Quade said. "Im sure they got the technique correct, I just wonder how you can see both things." Byrd flied out against reliever Mark Melancon to end the inning. "When you get a break, youve to be able to take advantage of it. Mark did a great job of doing it," Mills said. Meanwhile, as deliberations before and after the replay dragged on, the rain continued to fall and puddles began to form around the infield. The tarp was brought out and there was a rain delay of one hour seven minutes after the eighth. "That last inning before we got off the field and they pulled the tarp, it was starting to puddle up," Barmes said. "It wasnt very good. I definitely couldnt have seen us going any further." Once the game resumed, Melancon returned for the bottom of the ninth and struck out the Cubs in order for his 18th save. "(Melancon) wanted this," Mills said. "He threw the ball extremely outstanding." Myers (6-13) held Chicago to two runs -- one earned -- over 7 2-3 innings under a steady drizzle on a cool day at Wrigley Field. He improved to 13-3 lifetime against the Cubs. "I take it as another game really," Myers said. "I did have my major league debut here and I did grow up watching the Cubs and Braves a lot. I dont know, I dont think that has anything really to do with it. I think it has to do with going out there and trying to execute pitches." Myers outpitched Ryan Dempster (10-13), who overcame a shaky start to throw seven solid innings. Dempster, fromGibsons, B.C., held the Astros to two runs and seven hits but lost his season-high fifth straight decision. Coming off a 128-pitch, six-walk start in his previous outing, Dempster struggled through a 33-pitch first inning. Martinez hit an RBI single and Barmes singled home two runs in Houstons three-run opening frame. Dempster gave up three hits and walked two in the inning. "The two pitches they hit were both 0-2 pitches that were balls and they did a good job of putting the bat on the ball," Dempster said. "Its unfortunate because those runs right there were what ended up costing us the game."

"If anyones going to get back quick, its him," Munchak said Tuesday night during his weekly radio show on 104. BOSTON -- Evan Turner wasnt waiting for his coach to call timeout. Once he got the ball, he knew he had to take the last shot. Fortunately for the Philadelphia 76ers, it went in at the buzzer. "I wasnt listening at all," Turner said. "I was just going to get it and try to get a good shot up." He drove into the key and went up for the short shot that gave the 76ers a 95-94 win over Boston on Wednesday night as they jumped ahead of the Celtics in the standings -- out of last place in the Atlantic Division. The win "is huge" for the teams confidence, Turner said. "We pulled through and came back from giving up a lead." Deciding whether to call a timeout "is one of the most difficult decisions because it seems like life is in slow motion," Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said. "Ive learned the busted play, the broken play, the random play is probably as good an environment as youre going to get often." Trailing by one, Michael Carter-Williams rebounded the ball after Kris Humphries missed a jumper with 12 seconds left. The rookie dribbled then gave the ball to Turner just past midcourt. And when Turner was guarded by a defender four inches shorter, he was in good shape. "I saw Jerryd Bayless switch on to me as opposed to Jeff Green, so I knew I had a little bit of an advantage," Turner said. He released his shot just in time to give the 76ers only their third win in 13 games. "Evan Turner has a history of doing that in those situations," Boston coach Brad Stevens said. "Thats why I thought hed shoot it." The Celtics (15-33) lost for the 19th time in 22 games. Spencer Hawes led Philadelphia (15-31) with 20 points and tied his career high with four 3-pointers. Turner had 16 points and eight assists and Thaddeus Young added 16 points. Jared Sullinger led Boston with 24 points and 17 rebounds but missed 16 of 25 shots. "He played his best game in a while but he still didnt shoot it the way that hes used to shooting it," Stevens said. "That said, we have to havee great performances to win. Nike Free Run 2 Pas Cher. " Green had 18 points, but just five after the first quarter for Boston. Sullinger had broken a 90-90 tie with two free throws, putting Boston ahead with 3:06 left. Then both teams had trouble connecting from the line. Carter-Williams missed one of two for the 76ers, Bayless missed two for the Celtics and Young also missed two. Carter-Williams missed another one before sinking his second, tying the game at 92 with 1:01 remaining. Humphries put Boston back on top when he tipped in Sullingers missed layup with 42 seconds remaining. Philadelphias free throw troubles seemed to end when Turner made one, cutting Bostons lead to 94-93. But he missed the second and Bayless rebounded. That possession ended when Humphries missed his jumper, setting up the 76ers for the winning shot. Trailing 74-71 after the third quarter, the Celtics opened the fourth with a 15-4 run that gave them an 86-78 lead four minutes into the period. They hit three 3-pointers during the surge, two by Chris Johnson and one by Green. But the 76ers responded with a 12-4 spurt and tied the game at 90, capping it with back-to-back dunks by James Anderson and Young. Boston led 26-23 after the first quarter, but Philadelphia scored the first 10 points of the second to take a seven-point lead. Hawes began the surge with consecutive 3-pointers before Dewayne Dedmon made a layup and a dunk. An eight-point run gave the 76ers a 48-34 lead, but the Celtics cut that to 53-47 at halftime. NOTES: The 76ers made 14 of 25 free throws two nights after hitting 25 of 26 in a 124-113 loss to the Phoenix Suns. ...
