ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- An early warning from the plate umpire stopped any more trouble on the field between the Tampa Bay Rays and Detroit Tigers. It didnt seem to put an end to the ill will, though. Jeremy Hellickson earned his fifth June win and the Rays beat Detroit 3-1 Sunday in a game that got off to a tense start. Both benches were warned by umpire Vic Carapazza after Detroits Rick Porcello hit Ben Zobrist with a pitch in the first inning. Both dugouts stayed calm and nothing further developed. Rays manager Joe Maddon didnt particularly like seeing Zobrist get plunked. "I thought it was absolutely uncalled for, and hopefully the league will take a look at it," Maddon said. The Rays did not retaliate Sunday, but Maddon added "theres many more opportunities to play good, hard baseball, and we will." A day earlier, Miguel Cabrera yelled at the Tampa Bay dugout after he struck out in the 10th inning. Fernando Rodney had thrown a high-and-tight fastball before fanning the Tigers star. "I dont debate, this guy is outstanding," Maddon said of Cabrera. "Hes wonderful. I just wish he wouldnt cry so much." Zobrist walked to first base after being struck on the wrist with two outs and no one on base. "I just assumed it would happen today at some point because of what was said last night," Zobrist said. "I just said to one of the umpires on the way to first, I was like, Hey, that was intentional. You guys know it. I think we should do something about that. But they chose not to." Maddon pointed out that Jhonny Peralta took an in-tight pitch from Rodney on Sunday and there was no response. "Peralta got the same pitch that Cabrera got last night, with the same kind of a moment, and nobodys worried about Peralta," Maddon said. "So, if Im Jhonny Peralta, Im upset right now. Im not getting that same kind of reaction from everybody that Cabrera got last night. Overreaction, no reaction." Porcello said he was surprised by the warning. "I tried to throw a fastball in and it just got away from me," Porcello said. Before Sundays game, Detroit manager Jim Leyland said "thats history" when asked about the Cabrera incident. After Saturdays game, however, Leyland said: "Throwing in that area is not acceptable, and somebody pays the price for that throughout baseball. Thats just the way baseball is." "History repeated itself in the first inning," Maddon said. Leyland said "nobodys trying to hit anybody." "What do you want to talk about?" Leyland said. "Thats part of baseball. Guys get hit in baseball games. Thats nothing new. We got three guys hit last week, we hit a couple guys last week. Thats all part of the game. A guy got hit. Big deal." Hellickson (7-3) allowed one run over six-plus innings. He tied the team record for victories in one month held by Matt Moore, David Price and Scott Kazmir. "Thats outstanding," Maddon said. Rodney pitched the ninth for his 17th save. Cabrera hit his 25th homer this season for the Tigers, sending a shot into a fish tank beyond the wall. Porcello stumbled while in his delivery when facing Zobrist in the third and threw a pitch that landed well in front of the plate. Porcello (4-6) went six innings, allowing three runs and eight hits. Cabrera, booed before each of his at-bats, tied it at 1 with a fourth-inning homer that gave him a 15-game hitting streak. His drive was the second -- joining Luis Gonzalezs shot in 2007 -- to go into the fish tank just to the right of centre field that is home to a group of cownose rays. James Loney extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a double in the second and scored on a single by Jose Lobaton to put the Rays up 1-0. Lobaton drove in another run with a single during a two-run fourth that made it 3-1. Yunel Escobar had a bases-loaded walk in the inning. Hellickson left with the bases loaded and no outs in the seventh. Reliever Jake McGee bailed out the Rays starter by retiring three straight batters to end the threat. "That was unbelievable," Hellickson said. "To get out of that was pretty amazing." NOTES: Leyland, this years AL All-Star team manager, supports the idea that all teams have a player in the contest. "You can get a lot of arguments because its probably not a true All-Star team when you have to have somebody from every team, but I love the fact that every uniform is represented at the All-Star game," Leyland said. "I think thats really a nice touch." ... Rays 3B Evan Longoria (plantar fasciitis) missed his second consecutive game. ... Denny McLain, the majors last 30-game winner, was at the ballpark. He did it in 1968 with the Tigers. ... Cabrera went 1 for 4 and had his major league-best batting average drop two points to .373. Cheap Hydro Flask 40 oz Wide Mouth Flamingo Water Bottle .

SAN ANTONIO -- Tony Parker, along with all of San Antonio, really, spent a restless night worrying about a gimpy right hamstring that hampered him in Game 3 of the NBA Finals and threatened the momentum the Spurs seized with a drubbing of the Miami Heat. A day later, Parker said he got some good news. Just how good the news is likely wont be known until Game 4 begins on Thursday night. Parker had an MRI on Wednesday that revealed a Grade 1 strain of his hamstring, the mildest level of strain. Hes listed as day to day. "I was just hoping it was not a tear," Parker said. "The good news is its not a tear or a defect. So thats the good news. Now I just have to see how I feel tomorrow." Parker was injured early in the second half of Game 3, which the Spurs won 113-77 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. He was limited to six points and eight assists in 27 minutes and left the game early in the fourth quarter with the outcome already decided. Parker did not participate in the portion of practice on Wednesday that was open to the media, instead watching his teammates go through a light workout while spending much of the time in conversation with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. "Well see how it goes tomorrow. Well talk with Pop," Parker said. "I know Pop is always going to prefer to take low risk." When asked about Parkers outlook, Popovich said, "a lot of it will be what he feels, I think." Parkers injury somewhat muted the celebration in San Antonio following the Spurs decisive bounce-back victory that put them two wins shy of the franchises fifth championship. While the Spurs role players have been playing incredibly well in these finals, they know they will need Parkers leadership, guts and unparalleled mastery of the pick-and-roll to bury LeBron James and the Heat. Danny Green, Gary Neal and Kawhi Leonard have been revelations so far in this series, scoring the same number of points (130) through the first three games that the Heats vaunted trio of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have managed. Neal filled in brilliantly for a slowed-down Parker on Tuesday night, scoring 24 points and hitting six 3-pointers to pick up the slack. The Spurs have two more games at home -- on Thursday and then Game 5 on Sunday -- to try to close out the Heat and avoid having to head back to Miami. "A lot of the Miami defence is focusing on me and my teammates are taking advantage of it," Parker said.dddddddddddd"Theyre playing great and hopefully they can keep it going." Still, it feels like a long way to go, because Parker is the engine that keeps this precision machine humming. He entered his fourth NBA Finals at the height of his powers, asserting himself as the best point guard in the game by carrying the Spurs into the showdown with Miami. After scoring 21 points and dishing out six assists in San Antonios Game 1 win, Parker was averaging 22.9 points and 7.1 assists this playoffs, the best numbers of his career for a post-season that included more than one series. He scored 13 points on 5-for-14 shooting in their Game 2 loss and was just 2 for 5 on Tuesday night. As important as his scoring and distributing have been for the Spurs, the confidence he instills with his steady hand on the throttle may be even bigger. The Spurs arent big on swagger, but they play with a different demeanour when hes on the court slicing and dicing opposing defences. "He does a lot for us," Neal said. "If hes not scoring, hes drawing the defence and being a facilitator. He has a great basketball I.Q. He brings a certain amount of confidence and toughness to our team. We definitely need Tony on the floor." If Parker has to miss Game 4, it no doubt would inject some life into a Heat team that was dazed and staggered in Game 3. A club that won 66 games in the regular season, including 27 straight at one point, and entered the playoffs as the prohibitive favourite to repeat as champions found itself down by 37 points at one point in the loss. Without Parker on the floor Thursday night, things would be different. "He is the head of their snake," Heat guard Mario Chalmers said. "I feel like that. The whole team feels like that." Heat coach Erik Spoelstra brushed aside a question about Parkers availability, clearly more disappointed and concerned about his own teams performance in Game 3 than anything happening with the Spurs. "If we bring the level of effort and focus that we did last night it doesnt matter who plays," Spoelstra said. "Were hoping he plays. We want both teams to be healthy. We dont want any excuses and they dont want any excuses either."
