David Ortiz Grand Slam Ties ALCS Game 2 In 8th Inning


BOSTON – A night after helping the Tigers take a no-hitter in the ninth inning, the bullpen faltered badly in the eighth inning. Jose Veras allowed a one-out double to Will Middlebrooks. Lefty Drew Smyly came in to pitch to left-handed hitter Jacoby Ellsbury and gave up a walk. Al Alburquerque was brought in and got Victorino to strike out, before giving up a single to Pedroia to load the bases. Tigers manager Jim Leyland then brought Joaquin Benoit to pitch to David Ortiz. Ortiz sent the first pitch over the fence in right for a game-tying grand slam. Tigers right fielder Torii Hunter went over the wall hard in an attempt.David Ortiz's grand slam off Detroit closer Joaquin Benoit tied the game 5-5 and ignited what had been a silent crowd at Fenway Park. Scherzer became the third Tigers pitcher in a row this postseason to start the game with at least five no-hit innings as Detroit is threatening to make short work of the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS.After Red Sox closer Koji Uehara held the Tigers scoreless in the top of the ninth, the Red Sox evened the series with a 6-5 walk-off win. Boston backstop Jarrod Saltalamacchia drove in the winning run with a single through the drawn-in infield but there was little doubt that Ortiez was the biggest hero of the night.

Pop duo t.A.T.u performing Sochi at Olympics Games opening ceremony


t.A.T.u.the duo famous for their faux-lesbian hit All The Things She Said, are reportedly performing at the Sochi winter games.Much has been reported about Sochi in the lead-up to the Games, from security concerns, protests against Russia's anti-gay “propaganda” law and the decidedly spring-like temperatures. And on top of all that, there's the price. With these Games reportedly being the most expensive in Olympic history – with an estimated $50-billion price tag – one can't help but wonder what we're going to see at the official kickoff to the Olympics. Multiple sources have confirmed Yulia Volkova and Lena Katina's presence at rehearsals in Sochi, with fans sharing photographs of the singers on stage and Volkova tweeting images of herself with Olympic athletes. According to the Washington Post, t.A.T.u.'s performance will be part of a warm-up that is not broadcast internationally, but Russia's Olympic team will enter Fisht stadium to the soundtrack of the duo's 2003 smash, Not Gonna Get Us.As is always the case for the opening ceremony, the details are largely under wraps. One element of the festivities drawing attention ahead of time was the performance of pseudo-lesbian Russian pop duo Tatu. Given the international outrage surrounding Russia's law banning gay "propaganda" to minors, the musical choice is conspicuous.The identity of the person who will carry the Olympic torch into the stadium to light the cauldron remained a secret before the ceremony. Whomever handles the honor will conclude a historic journey for the Olympic flame. The torch relay covered 39,000 miles during the relay.

Buffalo Bills quarterback EJ Manuel couldn't get out of bounds on a scramble before Cleveland Browns safety Tashaun Gipson hit Manuel on the right knee, a scary-looking injury that sent Manuel out of the game.Marrone said he does not know if Manuel, the 16th overall pick in April's NFL draft, will undergo an MRI. He also said it is too early to know if the Bills will evaluate quarterbacks on the free-agent market. On a third-down play in the third quarter, Manuel was pressured and scrambled for a first down. After gaining the necessary yardage, he began to turn out of bounds and was hit on his right knee by Browns defensive back Tashaun Gipson.The injury happened on a third-and-8 play as Manuel was finishing a 14-yard scramble. Manuel was near the sideline but wasn't out of bounds when Gipson hit him. Manuel immediately clutched his right knee after the hit.Manuel tried to get his loose on the sideline, jogging and riding a stationary bike. Trainers examined his knee before taking him to the locker room. Manuel was 11 of 20 for 129 yards.Earlier, Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer went down with a right knee injury and coach Rob Chudzinski told NFL Network he was fearful of torn ligaments.

George Parros Injured George Parros vs Colton Orr Fight


Montreal Canadiens enforcer George Parros was taken from the ice on a stretcher — and then reportedly taken to a local hospital — after he was injured during a fight in the season-opening game on Tuesday night. The 33-year-old fought Toronto Maple Leafs counterpart Colton Orr in the second period before tangling again in the third. Orr seemed to lose his footing at the end of that second fight, and fell to the ice with his opponent’s jersey still clutched in his hand. Parros fell hard. The two enforcers engaged with one another as Orr and Carter Ashton were trying to score on a two-on-one break early in the third period. As referees were approaching to stop the bout, Parros fell to the ground and drove his shoulder and head into the Bell Centre ice. The Maple Leafs and Canadiens are no strangers to fisticuffs in their games, as the Parros-Orr fight was the fourth one of the game.Both Parros and Orr received 10-minute game misconducts as well as five-minute majors for fighting.
