PHILADELPHIA -- Darin Ruf has a knack for getting on base. Antonius Cleveland Jersey . Ruf extended his streak to 33 consecutive games reaching base -- the longest active streak in the majors and the most for a Phillies player since Chase Utleys 33-game streak from September 2008 to April 2009. He homered and doubled in Philadelphias 9-8 win over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night. "Its pretty impressive," Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick (10-8) said. "I like him as a player, hes good. ... Its nice to have him in our lineup, thats for sure. I hope he keeps it going." Ruf extended his on-base streak to 33 straight games with an RBI double in the third to cut the Cubs lead to 5-4. "Its nice to have a month of success right now," Ruf said. "But thats not the ultimate goal. Its to have a successful career, multiple seasons of playing baseball well." Ruf also homered to cap off a three-run fifth inning in which the Phillies took the lead, and he played in right field for the first time in his professional career. "I felt alright," said Ruf, who earlier this season made the switch from first base to left field. "It was nice to get a couple ball out of the way, make some plays. Hopefully Ill get out there early tomorrow and keep working, keep improving." Utley, who had three hits, drove in the tying run on a triple to deep centre field in the fifth and soon scored on a Domonic Brown ground out to give the Phillies the lead. Philadelphia tagged Edwin Jackson (7-12) for seven runs and 10 hits in six innings. "It was just a matter of not getting in a good rhythm and leaving too many pitches up," Jackson said. "My command wasnt very good. ... If youre up in the zone, any games will be tough." Trailing 9-5 in the ninth, the Cubs scored three runs off Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon before pinch-hitter Thomas Neal flew out with men on the corners to end it. "We finally scored some runs," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "But if you give up nine, youre not going to win many games." Utley plated the Phillies first run in the first inning on a single to left field to score Michael Young. The Cubs then responded with four runs in the second, capped off by Donnie Murphys three-run homer, his first hit of the season. Kendrick allowed five runs and six hits in six innings, but he settled down to retire 10 of the final 11 batters he faced. He also had an RBI single. "I felt like after (the second inning) that he settled in a little bit and started pitching," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "He had a high pitch count, but he got them out when he had to and he threw strikes when he had to." Anthony Rizzo hit a solo home run in the third to make it 5-2. It was Rizzos fourth homer in six games. Young knocked in a run with a two-out double in the sixth, and Carlos Ruiz homered in the eighth. Philadelphia is 2-13 in its last 15 games, while Chicago has lost five straight. Notes: The Cubs have an extra-base hit in 29 straight games. ... The Phillies activated Brown from the 7-day concussion disabled list prior to the game and designated outfielder Laynce Nix for assignment. Brown had not played since July 23 because of concussion symptoms. ... Philadelphia called up LHP Cesar Jimenez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to replace LHP Antonio Bastardo on the active roster. Bastardo is serving a 50-game ban for PED-related violations in the Biogenesis scandal. ... The Cubs outrighted outfielder Julio Borbon to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, and his roster spot was taken by Thomas Neal, whom the club claimed off waivers from the New York Yankees on Monday. ...

And with three gold medals in Moscow, the Jamaican great became the most successful athlete in the 30-year history of the world championships. The 4x100-meter relay gold on Sunday erased the memories of the 100 title he missed out on in South Korea two years ago because of a false start. And, in combination with a similar 100-200-4x100 triple from Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Bolt was instrumental in giving Jamaica the first ever sweep in those six sprint events. Canadas team of Justyn Warner, Aaron Kingsley Brown, Dontae Richards-Kwok and Gavin Smellie won bronze in 37.92 seconds after Great Britain was disqualified. The United States was second in 37.66. The bronze is Canadas fifth medal at the event, the most successful in the countrys history at the world championships. Bolt was trailing American Justin Gatlin when he got the baton on the anchor leg, but a botched U.S. handover and his superlative speed were enough to see him, and his country, win. He gritted his teeth, dipped at the line, and then grinned. "I wasnt really worried about Justin. I knew if he got the baton in front of me, I could catch him," Bolt said. "So it was just going out there to run as fast as possible." And when he does, nobody has stopped him when it mattered -- in a half decade, and counting. "Its not just about the talent. Its about rising to the occasion. He understands what that means," Gatlin said. Bolt had already won the 100 and 200 metres. It was his second such sprint triple at the world championships, matching the two he has won at the Olympics. With his victory, Bolt moved to the top of the all-time world championships medals table with eight gold and two silver, edging Carl Lewis, who has eight gold, one silver and one bronze. "It is just great," Bolt said of the comparison. "Ill continue dominating. Ill continue to work hard. For me, my aim is to continue hard into the greatness thing." And again the Luzhniki Stadium and its 40,000 fans were turned into a Bolt party. With palpable relief after a week of all-business during his earlier races, Bolt finally let go. His arms across his chest, he kicked his legs as he went down lower and lower to imitate a traditional eastern European dance to the delight of the crowd. Mavericks Jerseys 2021. "Im not even sure which country its from. It just went along with the music, so I did it," Bolt said. Twenty minutes earlier, Fraser-Pryce became the first woman in world championship history to sweep the sprint events, anchoring Jamaica to gold in the 4x100 relay. Unlike Bolt, Fraser-Pryce got the baton with a big lead. With her pink hair extensions swaying in the air behind her, she kept on building on it to cross in a championship record of 41.29 seconds. Lost in the excitement and a string of upsets was that the United States failed to lead the gold medal standings for the first time since the inaugural world championships in Helsinki 30 years ago. Instead, Russia topped the table with seven gold, edging the United States and Jamaica with six. In the overall standings, the U.S. team dominated with 25, holding a wide lead over the host nation with 17.

Asbel Kiprop of Kenya successfully defended his 1,500 title, trailing teammate Nixon Chepseba for most of the race before emerging into the finishing straight with a devastating kick no one could match.

The string of upsets continued in the mens triple jump, where Olympic and defending champion Christian Taylor of the United States finished only fourth. Teddy Tamgho of France edged Pedro Pichardo of Cuba for gold. Tamgho and Pichardo were even at 17.68 metres late in the contest but Tamgho made the difference on his last jump when he leapt 18.04 for his first world title. ' ' '
