Lefty Travis Wood aims for a second win against St. Bo Outlaw Jersey . Louis in 10 days on Monday night, when the Chicago Cubs visit Busch Stadium to begin a four-game series with the Cardinals. Wood picked up his second victory of the season -- and fourth of his career against the Cardinals -- on May 2, allowing two earned runs on six hits in seven innings of a 6-5 triumph. He walked none and struck out six batters in the win. In one subsequent start, however, Wood was battered for eight runs on eight hits in just four innings of an 8-3 interleague loss to the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. For the Cardinals, fellow left-hander Tyler Lyons makes his fourth starting bid in search of win No. 1 for 2014. The 26-year-old Texan pitched a scoreless inning of relief against the Cubs in the aforementioned May 2 game, but did not factor in the decision. It was his lone career meeting with Chicago. Lyons pitched six strong innings and allowed four hits and a run in one outing since, getting a no-decision in the Cardinals 2-1 loss at Atlanta on Tuesday after walking one and striking out seven. On Sunday in Atlanta, Evan Gattis and Jason Heyward both homered to back a solid start from Aaron Harang, as the Braves completed a three-game sweep of the Cubs with a 5-2 triumph at Turner Field. Chicago starter Edwin Jackson (2-3) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over six frames to absorb the loss. Nate Schierholtz smacked a two-run double for the Cubs, who have lost seven of their last eight. In Pittsburgh, Allen Craig and Yadier Molina posted a pair of hits to go with an RBI and run scored and the Cardinals hung on to beat the Pirates, 6-5, in the finale of a three-game set. Trailing by two runs going into the ninth, Pittsburgh got a run back when Neil Walker hit a double and Andrew McCutchen singled to plate him and make it 6-5. The Pirates later loaded the bases with none away, but Trevor Rosenthal got Ike Davis to pop out into foul territory and Jordy Mercer to roll into a 1-2-3 double play to end the game and give Rosenthal his 10th save of the season. Shelby Miller (5-2) allowed two runs on four hits and four walks over 5 1/3 innings for the Cardinals, who avoided being swept. The Cardinals and Cubs have split six meetings this season. Chris Paul Jersey . You can watch all the action on TSN and TSN GO beginning at 8:30pm et/5:30pm pt. Minnesota dropped the first two tests of this best-of-seven set at Chicagos United Center and was outscored by a combined 9-3 margin in those setbacks. However, the Wild righted themselves at home by taking Game 3 by a 4-0 count before knotting the series at two games apiece with Fridays 4-2 triumph at Xcel Energy Center. Quentin Richardson Jersey .Inter Milan and Napoli also advanced to ensure there will be at least three Italian clubs in the last 32 of Europes secondary competition.Spurs victory, secured by Benjamin Stamboulis 49th-minute winner, was overshadowed by a succession of pitch invasions that forced the referee to halt the game after 41 minutes. https://www.cheapclippersonline.com/1300h-patrick-patterson-jersey-clippers.html .J. -- While Martin Brodeur wasnt willing to say he stole one for the New Jersey Devils against the Columbus Blue Jackets, almost everyone else was.If Lindsey Jacobellis, Nate Holland or those other snowboarders feel like somethings following them at the Winter X Games, theyll be right.ESPN is adding camera-carrying drones to its coverage of the Winter X Games, using the cutting-edge technology to cover snowboardcross and snowmobiling events this week in Aspen, Colorado.Its always been an event that has, in many aspects, been a working laboratory for technical innovation, said Rich Feinberg, vice-president of production for ESPN Inc. Its kind of like the sports here. Theyre all about progression and we want the coverage to progress as well.ESPN worked for approval with several entities, including the Federal Aviation Administration, which approved the use of drones for commercial use last year.One rule the network has to follow is to keep the drones inside a closed-set environment — in other words, not over spectators, or anywhere near where they could interfere with incoming flights to the Aspen airport, which is little more than steps away from the Buttermilk ski area that hosts the X Games.So, the network will put its cameras on the drones and have them hover over, aside and behind racers on sections of the snowboardcross course and at the end of the snowmobiling course. Testing of the drones begins Tuesday, and the events start Thursday, with the TV coverage planned throughout the weekend.Any piece of technology we feel brings viewers closer to the event, were interested in, said Chris Calcinari, who spearheaded the approvals process for ESPN. I dont think thhere are many events that would actually allow us to fly a drone. Eric Piatkowski Jersey. This is a big opportunity.Aside from ESPN owning and operating the same event it televises, the outdoor nature of the event lends itself to covering the action with drones.Last year at the Sochi Olympics, Russian officials approved drones to help get shots of snowboard and ski jumping events.Drones have also been making appearances at more football practices of late; Miami, Louisville, UCLA and Tennessee are among those who have used them to get different looks during workouts over the last season. But they are not allowed at games, because regulations dont allow flying over stadiums.ESPN works with a company that specializes in taking video with drones, and its technicians will operate the devices, which will be equipped with cameras that can feed footage back to the main truck.New angles and cutting-edge footage is nothing new to the X Games, which has employed cameras on helicopters, large cables and even the athletes helmets in the past to tell the story. On the snowboardcross course, though, the network hasnt had the ability to detach the cameras from the rider and still get on their level.Im as excited as anyone to see what this looks like, Feinberg said. You can picture them flying in front of the pack of racers, next to them, or just about anything else. We want the viewer to hopefully feel like he or she is seeing something hes never seen before. If it gets them to watch a little longer, then weve achieved our goal. ' ' '
