HOUSTON -- Houston starter Jarred Cosart made it through seven innings for the first time in more than a month on Saturday against Tampa Bay. Cheap Air Max 720 Uk . His performance in the 7-3 win was much more impressive considering he was battling a case of food poisoning and was ill in both the second and third innings. "I felt terrible in the third inning, I thought: Im not going to make it," he said. "But you keep pushing yourself. Its the competitive side. I didnt want to come out of the game. I didnt want to tax the bullpen and I guess I wasnt dying, so I was able to pitch." Cosart (6-5) allowed nine hits and three runs in his longest outing since May 5 for the win. Matt Dominguez broke out of a slump with two hits, including a three-run double in Houstons big third inning to help the Astros to the victory. Dominguez was 1 for 12 in the first three games of this homestand before singling in the second inning. The Astros led by one when he cleared the bases with his double in a five-run third inning that made it 5-1. "He obviously had a couple days there where he wasnt seeing the ball too good," manager Bo Porter said. "I felt like he did a great job of making them get the ball up today. The base-clearing double was a huge hit at that moment of the game." Tampa Bay starter Chris Archer (3-4) was done in by an error and a lack of control in his shortest start this season. He allowed three hits and six runs -- one earned -- with three walks in three innings. The Astros got back on track after striking out a season-high 16 times in a 6-1 loss in the opener Friday night. Dexter Fowler had two RBIs and Marwin Gonzalez, who was filling in for the injured Jose Altuve, had three hits and scored twice. Altuve missed his second straight game after being hit on the right hand by a pitch on Thursday night. "Marwin he has been absolutely huge for us the entire season," Porter said. "Whether its giving Dominguez a day at third base or stepping in at shortstop and now stepping in at second base for Altuve being hit by a pitch, hes been constant." Evan Longoria homered and drove in all of the runs for the Rays, who have lost 15 of their past 18 games. Rookie Kevin Kiermaier doubled with one out in the first and scored on a single by Longoria to put Tampa Bay up 1-0. Gonzalez got things going in the third with a one-out double before advancing to third on a wild pitch. Fowler reached and Gonzalez scored to tie it at 1-1 on an error by Archer with two outs when he missed the catch at first base. Archer slipped and fell onto his stomach while trying to make that catch, and was unable to locate his pitches after that. He plunked George Springer on the left shoulder and walked Jon Singleton before giving Houston the lead by walking Jason Castro. Dominguez followed with his double to centre field, which hit on the wall just inches shy of the home run line, to make it 5-1. The play was reviewed and upheld. Archer escaped the inning by striking out Chris Carter. "I didnt execute pitches," Archer said. "It had nothing to do with me not making that play at first base. Yeah, I was frustrated. Theres a ton of plays in a game. There were 40 pitches after that where I could have executed." Alex Presley drew a walk to start the fourth inning and chase Archer. He was replaced by Cesar Ramos, who was greeted with a single by Gonzalez. Ramos struck out Jonathan Villar before Fowlers two-run double to centre field pushed the lead to 7-1. Desmond Jennings singled with one out in the fifth before Longoria launched his eighth home run this season into the Crawford Boxes in left field to get Tampa Bay within 7-3. NOTES: The series wraps up on Sunday when Tampa Bay left-hander David Price opposes Brad Peacock. ... Kiermaier had two doubles on Saturday to give him 12 extra-base hits in 21 career games, which is the most in Rays history in such a span, surpassing the 11 Delmon Young had in 2007. ...

The Wales international has until Monday to complete his move to the Spanish capital during the summer transfer window. But, despite Bale having around three years remaining on his Tottenham contract, the Premier League club is willing to sell its star player having spent the off-season strengthening the squad in readiness for his exit. Villas-Boas said Bales deal is likely to be "the biggest transfer in world football," exceeding the 93 million euros ($124 million) Madrid paid for Cristiano Ronaldo four years ago. "At the moment, the two clubs are speaking -- Tottenham and Real Madrid -- to outline the final decisions or statements of contracts," Villas-Boas said. "I am not sure how much time it will take. It could happen very, very soon. "But it might not happen so soon, so I suppose it could go to the last days or it could happen in the next two days." It was the first time Tottenham had publicly acknowledged that the widely anticipated move is drawing to a conclusion. Although Villas-Boas said "if it happens, we wish him all the best," Tottenham is unhappy that Bale hasnt attended training as required on Tuesday and Wednesday. "The fact that he hasnt turned up is not the correct behaviour ... and its up to the club to decide if its a fineable offence," Villas-Boas said, adding: "It is a dream move for him but I think in the end this could have happened in a different way." Bale has not played for Tottenham this season, with Villas-Boas previously saying that a foot injury kept him out of the three matches so far. Air Max 90 Replica Uk. But Wales coach Chris Coleman on Wednesday named Bale in the squad for a pair of upcoming World Cup qualifying matches. "Unless were told hes unavailable, then hes very much in our plans," Coleman said. Wales will play at Macedonia on Sept. 6 and then host Serbia four days later. "Its not been easy for (Bale), theres a lot of pressure on him," Coleman said. "But hes the type of lad that is very unassuming, he has a calm personality, hes very grounded. I would imagine he wants it concluded like everybody does." Tottenham already appears to be using the windfall it expects to receive for Bale, with transfer spending since the end of last season reaching just short of 100 million euros ($133 million) on Wednesday. The latest arrival is set to be Erik Lamela, with Roma announcing that it had agreed to sell the Argentina striker to Tottenham for 30 million euros ($40 million), with the fee potentially rising by 5 million euros ($7 million) depending on his success at the London club. Tottenham is yet to confirm the signing, but the deal could eventually break the clubs transfer record. That has already been broken twice in the last two months. First, Brazil midfielder Paulinho joined from Corinthians in early July for 20 million euros (then $26 million). That fee was eclipsed by Tottenham meeting the 30 million euros ($40 million) release clause to sign Spain striker Roberto Soldado from Valencia. France defensive midfielder Etienne Capoue has also signed for around 11 million euros ($15 million) from Toulouse, and winger Nacer Chadli arrived for around 8 million euros ($11 million) from FC Twente. And the spending doesnt appear to be over yet, with Ajax midfielder Christian Eriksen and Steaua Bucharest defender Vlad Chiriches being pursued. ' ' '
