ARGOMENTO: Green Bay Packers Jersey

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Houston Astros may be defending more than their World Series title.The champions are under scrutiny after Cleveland filed a complaint to Major League Baseball about a man associated with Houston attempting to film in the Indians’ dugout during Game 3 of the AL Division Series last week.During the Astros’ series-clinching win on Oct. 8 at Progressive Field in Cleveland Mike Marjama Jersey , a man with a cellphone standing by the photographer’s pit was removed “several times” by security personnel, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Tuesday night. The man’s credential was requested by Houston, according to the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.MLB also says it is aware of a report by Metro Boston that a man claiming to be an Astros employee was removed from a credentialed area near the Boston Red Sox dugout during the AL Championship Series opener at Fenway Park. The Red Sox dropped the series opener but have won the past two to take a 2-1 lead.In a statement, MLB said the matter “will be handled internally” and offered no other details.While it’s yet to be proven if the Astros were doing anything illegal, the two incidents have raised further questions about the use of electronic equipment during games and whether Houston has been cheating.According to the Metro report, which cited multiple security sources who were on the scene, a man was removed during the third inning of Game 1 on Saturday night at Fenway Park but allowed to stay in the ballpark after another Astros staffer intervened. The report said the man had a small camera and was texting frequently, but did not have a media credential.Houston manager AJ Hinch and Red Sox manager Alex Cora both said after Boston’s 8-2 win Tuesday night in Houston they had heard about the alleged incident.“I’m aware of something going on, but I haven’t been briefed,” Hinch said. “I’m worried about the game.”Cora said he has been concerned throughout the season about Red Sox signs being stolen.“So I mean we do a good job changing sequences and paying attention to details. And we don’t get caught up on the whole paranoia thing of the signs,” he said. “We try to slow it down. If we feel there’s something going on we switch the signs.”When asked if he felt like anything was going on the first two ALCS games at Fenway Park, Cora responded http://www.marinersfanproshop.com/authentic-mitch-haniger-jersey , “No, I don’t.”This isn’t the first time the Astros have been suspected of cheating.Earlier this season, Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer intimated on Twitter that Houston’s pitchers may have been using banned substances to improve the spin on their pitches. Bauer didn’t provide any specifics but his insinuations triggered a social-media storm, which included responses from several Astros players, including pitchers Lance McCullers Jr. and Collin McHugh.The Indians were swept by the Astros, who after winning twice at home, rolled to an 11-3 win in Game 3. Cleveland was eliminated in the first round for the second year in a row as the AL Central champions batted just .144 as a team and some of the club’s top hitters, including All-Star second baseman Jose Ramirez, had brutal series. Ramirez went hitless in 11 at-bats.Following the game, center fielder Jason Kipnis was critical of his team’s performance and said he felt the Indians were overmatched.“We were just outplayed,” Kipnis said. “I wish it weren’t that simple. It just seems from top to bottom we were out-scouted, out-pitched, out-coached a little bit. They really did just a fantastic job over there of being ready and prepared before the series. I don’t think we were underprepared Edwin Diaz Jersey , they just went out and executed and played the way you need to play to win.” NEW YORK (AP) — The playoff-bound Yankees blew a three-run lead against the worst team in the majors Sunday — and then came the really bad news.New York shortstop Didi Gregorius has torn cartilage in his right wrist and is unsure whether he will be able to play in the AL wild-card game on Oct. 3. Gregorius, who has 27 homers and 86 RBIs, got injured Saturday when he slid headfirst on Aaron Hicks‘ 11th-inning double to score the run that clinched a postseason berth for the Yankees.“It feels a little bit better now,” Gregorius said after missing a 6-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles in New York’s final home game of the regular season. “I slid into home plate, my right hand got stuck. We were celebrating, everything was fine. I went home, fine. I woke up this morning, it wasn’t feeling good.”Gregorius had an MRI that revealed a small tear, he said. He received a cortisone shot and will be re-evaluated soon.“We’ll know a lot more in a few days,” manager Aaron Boone said .Gregorius said the injury is “really frustrating” but he has some mobility in his wrist and is very optimistic he’ll play in the postseason. New York has seven regular-season games remaining and is trying to secure home-field advantage in the wild-card game.“They say things like this happen to other players but some of them play through it,” Gregorius said, explaining he feels soreness but not sharp pain.If Gregorius is unavailable, the Yankees have a couple of options at shortstop. They could turn to Adeiny Hechavarria http://www.marinersfanproshop.com/authentic-alex-colome-jersey , especially if they’re concerned about defense. Or they could slide Gleyber Torres over from second base and put Neil Walker’s bat at second.“Didi’s a great player and obviously I think everyone in this room understands how important he is to our team,” Boone said. “Kind of an anchor for us defensively in the infield, and obviously what he brings from the left side of the plate. So, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there, but hopefully we get some good news here in a few days.”New York remained 1½ games ahead of Oakland for the top AL wild card when the Athletics lost 5-1 to Minnesota.Boone said it’s important to the Yankees to get the wild-card game in the Bronx — where they finished 53-28 this season. They sure didn’t play that way, though.Tim Beckham homered twice for the lowly Orioles, who trailed 3-0 early.J.A. Happ needed 107 pitches to get through five innings in a possible tuneup for the wild-card game. Happ allowed only one run, but A.J. Cole (3-1) quickly coughed up a 3-1 lead in the sixth as the Yankees rested their best relievers.Baltimore (45-110) remained one loss shy of matching the franchise record for defeats set by the 1939 St. Louis Browns, who went 43-111.Orioles second baseman Breyvic Valera broke his left index finger on a headfirst slide into home plate, the team said. Valera was in a cast and a sling after the game.Alex Cobb lasted only four pitches in an abbreviated start, leaving with another blister problem. The right-hander exited his previous outing Sept. 11 after two innings because of a blister on his middle finger.“Actually in the bullpen, it was starting to heat up a little bit,” manager Buck Showalter said. “We knew it had potential to be a short outing. We wanted to give it a shot.”The Yankees took advantage by scoring three times in the first James Paxton Jersey , but then their bats went silent against five relievers.Ryan Meisinger (2-0) pitched two perfect innings and Mychal Givens worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his ninth save.“Just stalled out offensively,” Boone said. “Frustrating way to end this homestand, but we’ve got to get past it.”Renato Nunez also homered for Baltimore, and DJ Stewart drove in two runs off the bench. Joey Rickard had three hits.Miguel Andujar and slumping Gary Sanchez each had an RBI single for the Yankees in the first. Torres delivered a sacrifice fly.END OF THE ROADCobb probably won’t pitch again this year, Showalter said. The right-hander is 5-15 with a 4.90 ERA in his first season with the Orioles after signing a $57 million, four-year contract.“It hasn’t been anything that we envisioned before we made the commitment to come here,” Cobb said. “I don’t think anybody envisioned it would turn out this way. You never sign up for something like this.”CROWD CONTROLThe Yankees drew an AL-leading 3,482,865 at home this season, an average of 42,998. That was up from 3,146,966 last year and New York’s highest at home since 2012. The Yankees had 23 sellouts http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-marcell-ozuna-jersey , their most at new Yankee Stadium, which opened in 2009.TRAINER’S ROOMOrioles: Valera exited in the fifth after getting tagged out at the plate. He was acquired from the Dodgers in July as part of the trade for Manny Machado. … RHP Andrew Cashner (left knee) probably won’t pitch again this season, Showalter said.Yankees: CF Aaron Hicks walked in the seventh as a pinch-hitter and stayed in the game. Hicks fouled a ball off his ankle Saturday just before his game-ending double. “He’ll be all right,” Boone said.UP NEXTOrioles: Before this miserable season finally comes to an end, the Orioles still have seven games left against Boston and Houston — the top two teams in the majors. RHP Dylan Bundy (8-15, 5.37 ERA) is scheduled to start Monday night at Fenway Park against RHP Nathan Eovaldi (5-7, 3.98).Yankees: Had not announced a starting pitcher for the opener of a four-game series Monday night at Tampa Bay. RHP Luis Severino (18-8, 3.38 ERA) is on turn.
