SEATTLE -- Scott Kazmir feels hes a complete pitcher now, not just a hard thrower. Kazmir allowed just one hit over his eight innings, Michael Bourn hit his first career grand slam and the Cleveland Indians downed the Seattle Mariners 10-1 Wednesday afternoon. The only hit Kazmir (6-4) gave up was a clean leadoff single to centre by Justin Smoak in the fifth. Kazmir struck out seven, walked two and allowed an unearned run. Kazmir came up with Tampa Bay in 2004 and was 55-44 in his six seasons before being traded for the Angels in 2009. The Angels paid him more than $35 million but he lost his velocity and command, won just 11 games before being released in 2011. He played in the Independent League last season. "Im even better now. I feel Im a more complete pitcher," said Kazmir, who signed a free-agent deal with the Tribe. "I dont have to throw hard every pitch. I can throw hard when I need it but Im throwing my secondary pitches more now. Im more of a complete pitcher." He nearly was a complete-game pitcher against the Mariners. Kazmir, who threw 103 pitches, pretended to hide from manager Terry Francona when he came down the dugout in the eighth to tell him his day was over. "I wanted to go out there for last one," Kazmir said. "But I understand." Kazmir has thrown just one complete game in his 198 career starts. That was a two-hit 3-0 shutout on July 3, 2006 with Tampa Bay against Boston. Vinnie Pestano took over in the ninth. "For what hes been through and where hes at, that (working the ninth) would have been more managing with my heart than my brain." Francona said. "From day one hes been great. Hes had a couple rocky starts but hes been a good pitcher for us," he added. "Were proud of him because hes come a long way. He felt he had a lot to prove and hes certainly done that. Hes got a lot of baseball left in him." Kazmir is now 3-0 with a 1.60 ERA with 35 strikeouts and 12 walks over his past seven starts. "He had a little bit of everything," said Smoak, who got the one hit off Kazmir. "His fastball was deceptive. He is throwing a cutter now and Ive never seen that before. He had a good ball game." Bourn blew the game open in the fifth with his slam on a full-count pitch from reliever Hector Noesi. Asdrubal Cabrera had two hits, including his eighth home run. Carlos Santana had three hits, including a pair of RBI doubles. It was the ninth time the Indians have scored at least 10 runs this season and the 14th time Seattle has allowed 10 or more. The Indians had lost four of their first five games out of the break and had fallen to 3 1/2 games behind Detroit in the AL Central. The loss ended the Mariners eight-game win streak, their longest since Aug. 14-22, 2012. They were going for their first nine-game streak since May 27-June 5, 2003. Joe Saunders (9-9) took the loss. He lasted just 4 2-3 innings, allowing five earned runs on nine hits, walking three and striking out five. He entered the game with a 4-0 record and 1.73 ERA in his previous four starts and is now 11-4 with a 2.90 ERA in 19 career starts at Safeco Field. "I felt like I was all around the plate today," Saunders said. "Henry (catcher Henry Blanco) did a good job back there. We just flat-out got out-played, out-pitched, out-hit. Just one of those days." From the first pitch, the Indians - and Bourn - had Saunders off-balance. Bourn opened with a drag bunt, easily beating the throw. Nick Swisher walked and Jason Kipnis advanced the runners with a sac-bunt. Cabrera followed with a two-run double into the left-centre gap. Cabrera came home on Santanas ground-rule double to left for a 3-0 score. "Bournsey set the tone like that," Francona said. "Playing with the lead is welcomed any time." The Mariners got a gift run in the second. With two outs and Jason Bay on first, Michael Saunders bounced to shortstop Cabrera. He threw wide of second for an error and Bay raced home. The Mariners returned the favour in the third when centre-fielder Michael Saunders miss-read a Cabrera flyball for a two-base error. Santana drove him home with his second straight double into the left-field corner. The Tribe rallied in the fifth after two outs. Mark Reynolds singled and Yan Homes walked, ended Saunders outing. Noesi walked Drew Stubbs and Bourn cranked a fastball over the right-centre wall, his third home run. "To be honest, I seen a good pitch out of his hand and I was just trying to put the bat on the ball," Bourn said. "I wasnt trying to do too much but I guess thats when it happens."

He was said to have suffered a "very mild stroke." He is not expected to manage the team until at least Aug. 5. .

TORONTO -- Team Europe started fast and strong against Canada, getting three shots on Carey Price and drawing a penalty in the first 21 seconds of Game 1 in the World Cup of Hockey finals.They skated right by us on the first shift, Canadian coach Mike Babcock said.The eight-nation team seemed to be the better squad on the ice for long stretches before losing to Canada 3-1 on Tuesday night.Instead of skating off discouraged, Europe appears to have boosted its confidence with the relatively competitive game.There was quite a bit of time during the game that we were dictating the pace and dictating the game, Slovenian forward Anze Kopitar said. It certainly showed that we can play with them.Game 2 in the best-of-three series is Thursday night.We have a feeling in there that this is far from over, said forward Fran Nielsen, who is from Denmark. We know we can go out there and take a game. Take the next one and make this a one-game series.To win, Europe will likely have to figure out how to score on the power play.Europe didnt take advantage of its power play early in Game 1 and failed to make the most its second and last power play in the second period.In five games, the Europeans are 0 for 15 with an extra skater.Definitely need to get our power play firing, coach Ralph Krueger said.Kruegers team will also have to find a way to slow down Sidney Crosbys line.No one has been able to do it yet in the best-on-best tournament.Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron each scored on goals set up by Crosby in Game 1 and the trio has combined for 22 points in the World Cup. Crosby, Marchand and Bergeron rank among the top three scorers in the tournament.Those guys are very good finding the little area in the open sllot, Europe defenseman Dennis Seidenberg said.dddddddddddd Youve just got to try to keep them to the outside, try to stay inside of them and try your best.Europe, meanwhile, has been getting a scoring boost from Slovakias Tomas Tatar.The Detroit Red Wings forward scored Tuesday night and has a team-high three goals, one more than the injured Marian Gaborik and Leon Draisaitl. Tatar scored twice in the semifinals, including the winner in overtime against Sweden on Sunday.In addition to solving its problems on the power play and stopping Crosby and Co., Europe must cut down on mistakes in even-strength situations.Shortly after failing to score on a power play, the Europeans turned the puck over and Bergeron carried it up the middle of the ice. He faded to the right and passed across the crease to set up Marchands fourth goal of the tournament 2:33 into the game.Slovakias Zdeno Chara was careless with the puck later in the opening period and it was costly. Ryan Getzlaf snatched the puck from the 6-foot-9, 39-year-old defenseman near center ice along the boards and faked a shot at the top of the left circle, leading to a tap-in goal for Stamkos on the right side of the net.Its so tough playing against them because you just cant make any turnovers, Nielsen said. When you look at their team, its all All-Stars offensively. If they have one weakness on the forwards, except for Bergeron and (Jonathan) Toews maybe, its playing defense. Weve got to make them play defense.---Follow Larry Lage at www.twitter.com/larrylage and follow his work at www.bigstory.ap.org/content/larry-lage Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap NFL T-shirts Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys White Cheap NFL Jerseys Camo Wholesale Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Outlet Cheap Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Hoodies Camo China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Camo NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
