Connacht earned a home Guinness PRO12 semi-final courtesy of a 14-7 win over Glasgow Warriors at a rain-soaked Sportsground. The 14-man Warriors, who had their Tongan prop Sila Puafisi sent off, finished just behind second-placed Connacht in the table and will make the return trip to Galway in two weeks time, live on Sky Sports. The Sky Sports panel discuss the thrilling conclusion to the Guinness PRO12 regular season Pat Lams men will hope for a repeat result as they strive to reach their first final at the end of what is already the Irish provinces best league campaign. Bundee Akis 17th-minute try gave the westerners a 7-0 half-time lead, with Finn Russell missing two kickable penalties for Glasgow. Stuart Hogg is tackled by Connacht duo John Muldoon and Nidi Adeolokun Gordon Reids well-taken try tied things up, but his front row colleague Puafisi was sent off in the 49th minute for a dangerous head-first challenge on Kieran Marmion.Replacement Shane OLeary provided the assist and conversion for Tiernan OHallorans vital 59th-minute touchdown, and the hosts saw out the hard-fought victory with some defiant late defence. PRO12 play-offs confirmed Connacht to host Glasgow while Ulster visit Leinster Russell sent an early penalty wide after Leone Nakarawa had slipped clean through from a ruck to launch Glasgows first attack from deep.A nervy Russell also overcooked a touch-finder but Nakarawa soon broke the line again, stretching the home defence until prop Reid knocked on in the 22. Bundee Aki scores Connachts first try But Connacht were clinical from their very first attack, Marmion and AJ MacGinty linking smartly off a close-range maul before Aki used his power to make it over by the posts. MacGinty converted for 7-0.A scrum penalty was nudged wide by Russell and with Sean OBrien and Ultan Dillane leading a resolute Connacht defence, the Warriors remained scoreless. Five-try Munster beat Scarlets Munster secure Champions Cup place with 31-15 victory Aki, who continued to threaten off limited ball, was a pass away from putting Robbie Henshaw over and their captain John Muldoon was also denied just a metre out.The home side were unable to profit from a snappy break by Marmion, the Ireland scrum-half hardly putting a foot wrong on his 100th appearance for Connacht. Gordon Reid celebrates scoring his second-half try However, the Warriors were level within seven minutes of the restart. They won a series of penalties and prop Reid managed to crash over off the back of a close-in ruck. Russells extras made it 7-7.Connacht quickly got back into scoring range, though, and as tempers flared, input from TMO Olly Hodges saw referee Ian Davies dismiss Puafisi for leading with the head on Marmion at a ruck.The home side, who had to move hooker Tom McCartney to loosehead in a patched-up front row, should have scored from Marmions blindside burst off a scrum and flanker OBrien was also thwarted near the posts. Tiernan OHalloran beats Stuart Hogg to score Connachts second try The breakthrough finally came when full-back OHalloran rose above his opposite number Stuart Hogg to collect OLearys cross-field kick and dot down wide on the right.The conversion was added by OLeary before a smashing break by Simone Favaro and kick ahead almost put Hogg in for a quick response. Ulster secure play-off spot Irish province score six tries in 46-26 victory at Ospreys Some superb handling had Glasgow hammering on the door again with five minutes left, but Connacht forced another error and a final ruck penalty was enough to see them home.

"Demp (Ryan Dempster) came out before he went to the bullpen and was just yelling that they lost. PHILADELPHIA -- Roman Quinn flashed some needed spark and speed near the top of Philadelphias lineup.Quinn had two hits, two RBI, a stolen base and made a big impression in his second major league game, leading the Phillies to a 6-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night.A day after he was promoted to the big leagues, Quinn hit second and played right field in his second straight start. Quinn, an accomplished base stealer and the Phillies second-round draft pick in 2011, could be a fixture in the outfield next season.With the Phillies long out of contention, manager Pete Mackanin is likely to take a long look in September at a player who could become a starter in 2017 when they hope to inch toward contention.Quinn doubled in the second and sixth innings to help the Phillies snap a seven-game home losing streak.I strained my oblique in June and didnt think I was going to get a call-up at all, he said. I just had good people around me. My parents helped me a lot and my fiance helped me a lot, too. They helped me keep my confidence and they encouraged me a lot.Quinns two-run double in the second one-hopped the wall as part of a five-run inning that made it a short night for Pirates starter Gerrit Cole (7-10).The 26-year-old Cole allowed five runs in two innings in his first start off the disabled list. He was sidelined with elbow inflammation and hoped his return could boost a Pirates team that is all but out of the NL wild-card race.I know hes not pleased with the result, and with the preparation he put into tonight, its understandable, manager Clint Hurdle said.Cole threw 29 of his 55 pitches for strikes -- and two of his Ks were against Ryan Howard.Once one of the most feared hitters in baseball, Howard is limping toward the finish line of his final season with the Phillies. He entered hitting .195 and each hitless game puts even a measly .200 average out of reach.Howards failure this season put pressure on others around him to produce, notably Maikel Franco. Franco was fantastic in 80 games last season and showed just enough (14 homers, .280) at the plate to show he could be the third baseman of the future.He still might be, but a .247 average and 22 homers in 133 games showed he felt the pressure of trying to handle Howards role as the slugger in the middle of the lineup.In his mind, hes the guy and hes trying to do too much damage, Mackanin said. He tried to take on too much of a role.ddddddddddddPhillies centerfielder Odubel Herrera also has slumped in the second half -- the All-Star saw an average that reached .319 through 51 games dip to .275 on Monday.Its one more reason the Phillies want to play Quinn in September. He had his first career stolen base (he stole 31 for Double-A Reading) in the first inning to ignite his night.Its a nice feeling to have that kind of speed up front, Mackanin said. I dont want to get carried away but it was nice to see.Mackanin said Herrera would stay in center for the rest of the season. He would make a decision on where the outfielders play in spring training.Well look at the whole picture at the end of the season and, in the spring, well make the decision and see what we got, Mackanin said. Well see what makes the most sense. Id like to see (Quinn) at all three positions.Jeremy Hellickson (11-9) struck out six and allowed an unearned run over 6 1/3 innings for the win. Freddy Galvis hit his 18th homer of the season.NI-K-ASIOPirates reliever Juan Nicasio struck out five in two scoreless innings. He has at least one strikeout in 26 straight appearances.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: 2B Josh Harrison will likely miss the rest of the season with a strained right groin. Harrison was injured Saturday after legging out a two-run double. In 131 games this season, Harrison is hitting .283 with four home runs and 19 stolen bases.Harrison was expected to miss four to six weeks, which would cost him the rest of the season. But he hoped he could return if the sub.-500 Pirates made the postseason.Theres still a chance if we make a run, you may see me back if we somehow find our way, he said.UP NEXT:Pirates: RHP Ivan Nova (5-0, 2.53 ERA) pitches Tuesday night in the second game of the series. He has 32 strikeouts and walked only two in his first seven starts for the Pirates since he was acquired from the New York Yankees on Aug. 1. He tossed a complete game against the Reds in his last start.Phillies: RHP Alec Asher (1-0) makes his second start of the season in his return from an 80-game suspension for performance enhancing drugs. Asher tossed six scoreless innings in a win against the Nationals. The Phillies acquired Asher last year from Texas in the Cole Hamels deal. ' ' '
