Sydney FC skipper Alex Brosque has declared this years ladder-leading squad the best hes seen in his eight seasons at the A-League club.The former Socceroo celebrated his 150th game in the Sky Blue with a goal in their 4-1 rout of Perth on Sunday that extended their season-opening winning streak to six.The title heavyweights are now one win off breaking Melbourne Victorys record seven successive wins to kick off their title-winning 2006-07 campaign.Brosque said he couldnt remember a Sydney FC unit as dominant as the current version.You go through pre-seasons hoping that youll get a start like this, but in the A-League, its that tough and anyone can beat anyone on their day, Brosque said.It makes it even more special what weve done. Six games that weve won in a row, the FFA Cup as well, making the final there, its not easy.Its a difficult competition. The foreigners will tell you that. From week to week, if youre not as close to your best as possible, youre not going to win.Ive never seen a team at Sydney since Ive been here, start this way, even play this way, dominate games this way.Ahead of next weeks clash against Brisbane, Sydney FC are six points clear of second-placed Melbourne City and 16 ahead of defending premiers Adelaide in last place.However Brosque, who at 33 years of age is the oldest player on the Sky Blues roster, urged his playing group not to get carried away with their early-season success.He was quick to point out how the club were sitting comfortably in the top four last season before winning just one of their final 12 games and missing the finals.There is a long way to go. Were not getting carried away, he said.(The coaching group is) not going to let us and we cant afford to because we started well last year and then we fell away. We need to just maintain and keep doing what were doing.

LOS ANGELES -- If Matt Moores performance in Hollywood was an audition, the Tampa Bay left-hander definitely helped his chances to get the part with the Los Angeles Dodgers.And if it wasnt, hes more than happy to keep starring for the Rays.Moore pitched four-hit ball into the seventh inning, Evan Longoria hit a two-run homer and Tampa Bay won at Dodger Stadium for the first time, 3-1 over Los Angeles on Wednesday.Moore (7-7) performed admirably against the Dodgers, who are thought to be interested in several Tampa Bay starters with the trade deadline looming. He looked ready for a pennant race, striking out five and only allowing an unearned run.Im here (with the Rays), and it doesnt feel like Im going anywhere, said Moore, who also walked four.This season hasnt quite gone the way that a lot of us in clubhouse expected it to go, but were still here. Were going to keep putting one foot in front of the other and see where were at in September. If (were) not (in the playoffs), Im pretty sure weve got another season next year, so hopefully I can be a part of that as well.Luke Maile had an RBI double in a three-run fourth inning as Tampa Bay wrapped up a nine-game West Coast road swing by snapping a four-game skid.The Rays (39-61) still have the majors third-worst record and the teams worst mark after 100 games since 2007.Since the All-Star break, weve played a lot closer to the true colors of our team, Moore said.The Rays were swept in a three-game series at Chavez Ravine in 2013, the only other time theyve visited the Dodgers hallowed home turf.The Dodgers three-game winning streak ended with a meager offensive effort. Howie Kendrick had two of Los Angeles five hits, all singles.Brandon McCarthy (2-1) lasted just four innings in his first loss since Sept. 23, 2014 and his first in a Dodgers uniform. He allowed four hits and three runs with seven strikeouts in the shortest start of his otherwise strong comeback from Tommy John surgery.The Dodgers pulled McCarthy after 83 pitches, but the right-hander said his repaired arm wasnt the reason.It was actually kind of a body letdown, McCarthy said. You can fool yourself for a while. `I can keep going, I can keep going. But eventually (the heat) sucks it out of you.After managing just one single in the first three innings, the Rays jumped on McCarthy in the fourth.ddddddddddddBrad Miller chipped a leadoff double down the right-field line and scored on Longorias 23rd homer of the season, his first at Dodger Stadium, on a full-count breaking ball down the middle.I dont want to say I was sitting on it ... but Im sure he didnt want to do that, Longoria said.SAVING GRACEAlex Colome pitched a perfect ninth for his 22nd save in 23 chances, rebounding nicely from his first blown save of the season last Saturday at Oakland.BIG CATCHLogan Morrison ended the seventh inning in spectacular fashion, tumbling into the stands to grab a foul pop by Kendrick. Morrison dislodged a large protective pad from the railing down the first-base line, but hung on to the ball while falling backward onto the concrete.With the high sky and the sun, I was just trying to keep my eye on the ball, Morrison said. I didnt know where the wall was. I knew it hit my glove, so I was just hoping it stayed in.QUITE A STEALThe Dodgers had an early lead thanks to the first stolen base in the 537-game big-league career of catcher A.J. Ellis.Joc Pederson walked in the second inning and advanced to third on Ellis single. When Ellis unexpectedly broke for second moments later, Maile tried to throw him out -- but the ball got away for an error, allowing Pederson to score.Clayton Kershaw apparently made sure the Dodgers grabbed second base as a souvenir for Ellis, who has spent his entire nine-year career with Los Angeles.Last winter, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts promised an expensive dinner to Ellis if he stole a base.I think he was pretty pleased, Roberts said. Big steak dinner.TRAINERS ROOMRays: Morrison was pulled from the lineup shortly after his catch, but manager Kevin Cash said it was strictly a tactical decision.Dodgers: OF Yasiel Puig sat out again with an injured right hamstring. He hasnt played since last Friday, but isnt on the disabled list.UP NEXTRays: Jake Odorizzi (4-5, 4.10 ERA) is coming off the longest scoreless start of his career when Tampa Bay hosts the New York Yankees on Friday.Dodgers: After a day off, Kenta Maeda (9-7, 3.25 ERA) takes the mound Friday for the opener of a weekend home series against Arizona.
