The Original Game » York jump ahead 14-0. His first pick came on se

PHILADELPHIA -- Carson Wentz is throwing more and more passes, a trend his coach wants to stop. Discount Adidas Shoes Australia .Philadelphias rookie quarterback has averaged 45 passes per game the past two weeks, up from 30.8 attempts over the first six games. The reason is a sputtering rushing attack.The Eagles (4-4) have had fewer than 100 yards rushing in three of their four losses. Thats partly due to falling behind 14-0 three times and quickly turning to the pass.During their 3-0 start, they averaged 119 yards on the ground.I wouldnt necessarily like to drop any quarterback back that many times, coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday. It goes back to being able to run the football and kind of hanging your hat there first and then (using) the play-action stuff.The Eagles abandoned the run early in a 28-23 loss to the Giants last week after Wentz threw a pair of interceptions that helped New York jump ahead 14-0. His first pick came on second-and-3, an ideal run situation. The second one was on third-and-5.Pederson also passed up field goals twice in the first half to go for it on fourth down and failed. The points couldve closed the gap and changed the course of the playcalling.We have put ourselves in a little bit of a bind these last couple of games, so the passing game kind of catches you up a little bit, Pederson said. But we still want to stick within the game plan, manage it that way, and use that run game to your advantage.The Eagles dont have a clear No. 1 back. Ryan Mathews, a two-time 1,000-yard rusher and former Pro Bowl player in San Diego, has lost his starting job to 33-year-old Darren Sproles. Mathews has nine carries in the last two games while Sproles ran 28 times. Rookie Wendell Smallwood and Kenjon Barner also see action.Its still a little bit of the running back by committee, Pederson said. Obviously, we havent hung our hat on one guy, but we tend to lean more toward Darren Sproles. Its hard to take him off the field right now.Sproles is averaging 4.8 yards per carry. Barner (5.2) and Smallwood (4.4) have done well in limited playing time. Mathews still leads the team with 287 yards and five touchdowns, but his YPC is 3.8. He also has two fourth-quarter fumbles, including one that led to a 24-23 loss at Detroit.The veteran Sproles is an excellent punt returner who was mostly used as a situational back throughout his career. Hes only 5-foot-6 and 190 pounds, so Pederson has to be careful not to overuse him.Weve got to make sure we keep him healthy and keep him going, especially as the season wears on, Pederson said.Wentz doesnt mind carrying the load. But Philadelphias best formula for success is a balanced offense.We struggle with consistency, Wentz said. Thats something weve got to be better with. Weve got to be better with our details, just consistency and not shooting ourselves in the foot.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi Cheap Adidas Shoes Australia Online .

LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. OAKLAND, Calif. -- Trevor Bauer paced slowly off the mound after a disastrous second inning, one position player after the next passing him on his way back to the Cleveland Indians dugout.Moments earlier, a bad inning turned into a disastrous one when first baseman Carlos Santana lost what would have been an inning-ending popup in the sun that went for a two-run error.The five-run inning turned out to be the difference as Kendall Graveman pitched into the seventh inning to become Oaklands first 10-game-winner this season, and the Athletics beat the Indians 5-1 on Wednesday to win the series.Khris Davis tripled and scored as part of Oaklands five-run second inning off Bauer (9-6).The inning was especially frustrating because for the most part, Bauer felt he executed his pitches.Two of the hits were broken-bat hits on balls that werent even remotely close to being strikes, Bauer said. Its like, you try to get them to chase out of the (strike) zone and they turn into hits. You just try to execute pitches and keep going.The As had already scored three runs in the inning when Santana lost Danny Valencias infield popup.I thought I was out of it, Bauer said. I tried to minimize and it didnt work out so, I tried to go out there and keep throwing innings after that, unfortunately we werent able to come back today. Weve done that a lot lately.Santanas error followed a diving play that robbed Brett Eibner of a hit earlier in the inning.Things happen in baseball, Santana said. I made the (diving) play and then the popup. The way I think about now, tomorrow is a new day.Bauer gave up nine hits over 6 2/3 innings. After striking out a career-high 13 in his last start, he fanned three.I will say, to his credit, when it looks like its going to be an `unload the bullpen day, he stayed out there going into the seventh inning, Indians manager Terry Francona said. I give him credit for that because sometimes you dont see a guy pitch that deep after that kind of an inning.Roberto Perez homered while Jose Ramirez and Lonnie Chisenhall had two hits apiece for Cleveland.An As team in disarray going into the series took two of three games from the AL Central leaders, who had swept a three-game set from Oakland in July. Adidas Shoes Clearance Sale Online. hey just flat out beat us this series with some good pitching, Indians designated hitter Mike Napoli said. We just couldnt get anything going.Cleveland went into the day with the best record in the American League, but was held to one run for the third consecutive game while being outscored 14-3 in the series.Hopefully we just had like three days of amnesia, Francona said.I think those things happen. Not fun when it does, but it happens. Fortunately we won one game 1-0, but we have to give them some credit. They did a number on us. Its not always one thing.Graveman (10-8) allowed six hits in 6 2/3 innings and won for the ninth time in his last 11 decisions.Mark Rzepczynski, Ryan Dull and Ryan Madson combined to retire the final seven batters.To hold a team and a lineup like that to a couple runs ... its fun to watch, Graveman said. Guys are starting to step up and do some good things in big situations.Ryon Healy, Max Muncy and Chad Pinder drove in runs for Oakland in the second inning.Its been kind of a theme for us this year, As manager Bob Melvin said. I cant figure it out. Theres certain days and certain series that we can move the line offensively. We just dont do it consistently enough.PERFECTLY PLACEDPerez homered with two outs in the seventh. The ball hit off the top of the wall in right field and bounced right back into Valencias glove. Umpires initially ruled it a hit, then changed it to a home run -- Perezs first of the season -- after going to replay.That particular part of the fence, behind it, its out of play, so Im guessing thats what they were calling, Melvin said. Its the only place in the ballpark where you have that metal piece behind it, and it ended up affecting us.UP NEXTIndians: RHP Josh Tomlin (11-7) pitches the opener in Texas on Thursday. He was roughed up for eight runs in 3 2/3 innings the last time he faced the Rangers on May 30. ' ' '
