ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Luke Scott downplayed his contribution to Tampa Bays win. Scott hit a two-run homer and a go-ahead RBI single Saturday but he credited the efforts of his Rays teammates in a 4-3 victory over the Houston Astros. Trailing 3-0, Scott hit a two-run homer off Houston starter Dallas Keuchel in the fifth. Yunel Escobar then had a two-out double, stole third and scored on Desmond Jennings RBI bunt single. In the sixth, Wil Myers singled with two outs then stole second before scoring on Scotts hit. "Theyre little things that mount up in the course of a game, and I think thats indicative of what weve been doing as a lineup," Scott said. "Guys up and down the lineup contributing all sorts of things with the bat, with the legs." After Scotts eighth homer got the Rays on the board, Escobar doubled with two outs and stole third base on a very close -- and risky -- play. "Thats got to be almost a 100 per cent play if youre going to try that," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Why do that? Because then Desmond can do what he did." Jennings beat out a bunt down the first base line and Escobar scored to make it 3-3. "The pitcher was lifting his leg and he gave me just one look," Escobar explained through an interpreter. "I thought I could get a jump and get to third base. After that, a wild pitch or anything could score me, so I took a chance." Roberto Hernandez survived a shaky first inning to post the Rays 14th straight quality start, going six innings and giving up three runs and six hits. He won for the first time in six starts since June 11. Hernandez (5-10) struck out six. Myers had two hits and scored twice for the Rays, who have won 13 of 15. Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 22nd save. The Astros jumped out to a 3-0 lead behind Brett Wallaces two-run homer and J.D. Martinezs RBI groundout. Houston had four hits in the first but only two the rest of the way and never got a runner to second base in the final eight innings. The Rays tied it in the fifth against Keuchel, who gave up six hits and three runs in 5 1-3 innings. Scotts single in the sixth came off Lucas Harrell (5-10), who relieved with one out. "When youre called on, you have to go up there and get people out," Harrell said. "It doesnt matter what the situation is, you have to go out there and make pitches." Scott, who extended his hitting streak to nine games, is hitting .373 with five home runs in his last 23 games. "Ive had some moments in my career like this and even better, where the baseball slows down for me and the swing feels good and Im not missing the pitches Ive been getting to hit," he said. "Its familiar territory, but its been a long time and Im enjoying it." NOTES: Rays RHP Alex Cobb is scheduled to pitch batting practice Sunday for the first time since being struck on the ear by a line drive on June 15.

Fake Jordan . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings. Western Sydney coach Tony Popovic has hinted at a first A-League start for marquee Nicolas Martinez in Fridays grand final re-match against Adelaide.Popovic was impressed with Martinez 30-minute stint off the bench in round one, despite the Argentine midfielder flaming out late.In the last 10 minutes, he probably found it a bit tough physically with the lack of training and game time hes had, Popovic said.But for that 15-20 minute period when he first came on, you can see the quality he has on the ball. His movement off the ball, you can already see some combinations building in our front third.Its that kind of quality that could tempt Popovic to start Martinez against the Reds and form an intriguing midfield that includes fellow import Jumpei Kusukami and Mitch Nicholls.Popovic insisted on attempting to take a long-term approach with the former Olympiacos player, saying there was no need to rely on Martinez too early.We want Nico available all season. To throw him in and start that game in the derby ... hes got more of a chance tomorrow, Popovic said.But its about having him being able to reproduce week by week, at training, in games and having him available because hes a very good player.The Wanderers coach was also delighted with the first outing of Kusukami, who was easily Popovics most-dangerous threat against Sydney FC.The former J-League player liit up ANZ Stadium with a number of slicing runs, and was on target with both of his shots on goal.ddddddddddddHe showed against Sydney FC in such a big game, especially in a moment where we were behind on the scoreboard, he really tried to step up and get us back in the game, Popovic said.Theres a lot more to come from him, but were delighted to have him at our club.Its the defence that could be of concern for Popovic, who has given captain Nikolai Topor-Stanley permission to pursue an overseas opportunity and another defender in Artiz Borda suspended.The Wanderers will have to overcome a poor record against the Reds in recent years, having won just one of their past nine clashes and none in five matches in Adelaide.Reds defender Iacopo La Rocca expected Popovic to extract plenty of fight out of his old club.I know Poppa - I know he will push the team. Of course, they will come here to get the three points, but we play at home - we have the advantage, he said.STATS THAT MATTER:* Adelaide have only conceded two first-half goals across their past 11 matches* United have only tasted defeat once in their past 22 A-League matches (W16, D5)* The Wanderers have conceded at least three goals in each of their past three A-League games ' ' '
