BOSTON -- The run support Ryan Dempster lacked in his previous two starts came in abundance Tuesday night. LaMarcus Aldridge Jersey . Dustin Pedroia and the Boston Red Sox backed Dempster with a season-high 20 hits, giving him an early cushion that kept getting bigger in an 11-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Pedroia drove in four runs on three hits and a sacrifice fly. Mike Napoli added two RBIs and every Boston batter finished with at least one hit. Jacoby Ellsbury, Daniel Nava and Jose Iglesias had three hits apiece as the Red Sox built a big lead for Dempster after scoring just two runs in his past two starts combined. Dempster (5-8) allowed two runs and six hits over six innings, leaving with an 8-2 lead and picking up his first victory since June 9. "We have an incredible offence. So you just go out there and worry about doing your job. Its just making pitches and executing pitches," Dempster said. "The wins come as a team more than an individual. Thats all I care about is that when I start, we win the game. I want to give us a chance to win the game and was able to do that tonight. And we put up a lot of runs." Dempster got himself in and out of trouble in the first, walking Dexter Fowler to lead off the game. DJ LeMahieus attempt at a sacrifice bunt turned into an infield single as it rolled toward third base without a Boston player fielding it. Dempster got Carlos Gonzalez to pop out to third, then Michael Cuddyer grounded into a double play to end the threat. "I thought the key was in the first inning," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. Boston responded with two runs on three hits in the bottom of the first and led the rest of the way. The Red Sox had at least three hits in every inning until the fifth, when they finally went hitless but still got a runner on base on a two-out walk to David Ortiz. It was also the first inning in which Boston failed to score after roughing up Juan Nicasio (4-4) early. "Its a good hitting club," Colorado manager Walt Weiss said. "Youve really got to command your stuff with that lineup or they make you pay." Wilin Rosario had three hits for the Rockies, including a solo homer in the second all the way out of Fenway Park. Michael Cuddyer extended his career-best hitting streak to 22 games, longest in the majors this season, with a single in the fourth. He finished with two hits. But those were the high points for the Rockies in a game that lasted 3 hours, 40 minutes. Nicasio had his worst start of the season, lasting only 2 1-3 innings and allowing seven runs -- six earned -- on 12 hits. He walked two and struck out two. He had never allowed more than eight hits in a start this season and the Red Sox had that matched after two innings, taking a 5-1 lead with a pair of runs in the first and three more in the second. "He looked like he struggled to find any rhythm or tempo tonight," Weiss said. "He was in bad counts and thats a tough lineup to get through when youre in bad counts. Youre sitting in fastball counts and they know youre throwing your fastball, they dont miss it." The Red Sox tagged Nicasio again in the third, ending his night after Pedroias RBI single gave Boston 12 hits with two outs still to go in the inning. Adam Ottavino inherited runners at first and second, but got the Rockies out of the jam by striking out Ortiz and getting Napoli on a fly to centre. Boston added a run in the fourth after Stephen Drew tripled to centre field on a hit he thought was a home run when it bounced high off the top of the wall. The umpires ruled the ball was in play and Drew was stuck briefly at third. The umpires spent several minutes looking at video replays before returning to the field and signalling that it was going to stay a triple. Boston fans booed loudly at the call, but quickly forgot about it when Iglesias doubled to left and Drew trotted home to increase the lead to 8-2. Nolan Arenado had three hits and an RBI for the Rockies. Dempsters only glaring mistake came in the second inning on a 3-1 slider to Rosario, who drove it out of Fenway Park for his 12th home run of the season. The solo shot cleared the Green Monster in left field and all the signs above it, landing in a raised parking lot across the street. "I didnt see it," Dempster said. "I think it hit a car on the turnpike, probably. It happens." NOTES: The Red Sox topped their 19 hits in a 17-5 rout of Texas on June 4. ... The two-game interleague series wraps up Wednesday afternoon with RHP Roy Oswalt (0-1) facing Boston RHP John Lackey (4-5). ...

Portland Trail Blazers Pro Shop . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. Greg Oden Jersey .5 seconds to play in the game, Kevin Love never stopped believing that they would come out of there with a win. https://www.cheapblazersonline.com/148i-...ey-blazers.html .

OXFORD, Miss. -- Mississippi has proven it can build big first-half leads against some of the best college football teams in the country.The 23rd-ranked Rebels have also shown they can lose those same leads in a hurry.Ole Miss blew a 22-point lead against Florida State on Sept. 5 and a 21-point lead against Alabama last weekend in two demoralizing losses that have put a serious dent in the programs lofty preseason aspirations.Now coach Hugh Freeze is left trying to figure out whats going wrong.Weve made some mistakes that have given explosive plays and quick scores -- whether its on special teams, offense or defense -- that have resulted in those comebacks, Freeze said. Weve got to obviously coach better and make sure our kids understand better and dont do their own thing at certain times.Ole Miss (1-2, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) hosts No. 12 Georgia (3-0, 1-0) on Saturday in another difficult game. And if the Rebels dont figure out how to fix their problems, any shot at competing for a league title will likely be over before the calendar hits October.Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly said the team has to find a way to be more consistent.We play a good 30 minutes, but we have to come out and finish, Kelly said. Those last 30 minutes are a mentality thing. It starts with practice, and weve got to make sure we finish strong.Kelly is a good example of the teams Jekyll-and-Hyde tendencies. The 6-foot-2 senior has thrown for 953 yards and 10 touchdowns in three games, but a handful of turnovers have been very costly in both the Florida State and Alabama losses.Against the Tide, Kelly threw for a career-high 421 yards and three touchdowns, but he also had two crucial mistakes -- a fumble and an interception -- that quickly turned into 14 points for Alabama. Martell Webster Jersey. Kelly is trying to make sure that doesnt happen again against Georgia. The Bulldogs already have two 10-point comebacks this season in wins over North Carolina and Missouri.We have to make sure every series ends in a kick -- whether its an extra point, a field goal or a punt, Kelly said. I have to take it upon myself to keep putting it in my head to take care of the ball.While Kellys mistakes might stand out, there are plenty of other issues.Ole Miss is really good at throwing the football, but has had trouble moving the ball on the ground. The Rebels rank 13th out of 14 league teams in rushing and havent been able to control the clock with long drives.The problem has been when conventional wisdom says slow down, eat some clock, we have not been real good to this point, Freeze said.There have also been breakdowns on defense and special teams. Alabamas Eddie Jackson scored a touchdown on an 85-yard punt return that helped the Tide come back from their early deficit on Saturday.Above all, Freeze said his players have to understand that one blown assignment or mistake can turn the momentum of the game and give the advantage back to the opponent.Its a combination of coaching, assignment and technique. Just got to keep improving, Freeze said. Weve played a lot of young kids that have to grow up and understand the value of each play in the course of a game.-----Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP .
