Three batsmen made centuries, while another missed his by eight runs as Delhi buried Assam under a 396-run lead in Vadodara.Delhi, who resumed on 241 for 3, were first driven by a 220-run stand between Rishabh Pant, the wicket-keeper batsman who struck his maiden first-class century, and Nitish Rana, for whom this was a second ton. Both men finished on 146.Milind Kumar and Pradeep Sangwan, who came in at No. 9, then added 125 to swell the lead as Delhi declared on 589 for 8. Sangwan, who also brought up his maiden first-class century, hit eight fours and four sixes in his unbeaten 87-ball 100. Fast bowler Abu Nechim finished with 5 for 106.Then left-arm spinner Manan Sharma prised out two wickets and Assam ended the day 100 for 3. Amit Verma and Arun Karthik, two of their most experienced batsmen, had put together 51 at stumps.Despite a top-order wobble, Jharkhand are primed to win their Ranji Trophy opener in Delhi. They are four down in the final innings of the match but require only 37 more runs to beat Maharashtra.Chasing a target of 93, they hadnt got a run on the board when they lost the openers Ishan Kishan and Shiv Gautam. But the damage they sustained in the second innings - which was only 13 overs old - may not matter much because their own bowlers had hurt Maharashtra in a much worse way.Left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem and medium-pacer Ashish Kumar picked up six wickets between them to restrict Maharashtra to a mere 188 in their second innings. Kedar Jadhav was the only batsman to cross fifty. That left a very manageable target for Jharkhand to hunt down; one they could well achieve despite the big-hearted effort from Maharashtras new-ball bowlers Anupam Sanklecha (2 for 20) and Shrikant Mundhe (2 for 22)Vidarbha declared on 272 for 6 after batting out 102 overs in Visakhapatnam. By batting as long as they have, and securing a first-innings lead of 122 runs, they would likely come away with more points than Odisha. Captain Faiz Fazal missed out on a century, caught behind for 99 after more than six hours at the crease. Deepak Behera was Odishas best bowler with 3 for 35 from 19 overs. After the declaration, Odisha had 22 overs to play and their openers Sandeep Pattnaik and Ranjit Singh got through them unscathed to push the score to 74 for 0.Rain thwarted Saurashtras quest to secure a first-innings lead against Rajasthan as only 17.4 overs were possible on the third day in Vizianagaram. Saurashtra, who made 460 courtesy Jaydev Shahs 193, removed Vineet Saxena shortly before play ended, with Rajasthan on 62 for 1.Air Max 720 Outlet . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. Air Max 270 Pas Cher Chine . -- New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis is retiring after a 16-year career to become the goalie coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy. http://www.airmaxpaschersite.fr/basket-air-max-90-outlet.html .

The Japanese star was about to do the same until he settled down after the pitching duel fizzled. Geovany Soto ended Verlanders night with a three-run homer that capped a seven-run third, and Darvish needed a career-high 130 pitches to get through eight innings in the Texas Rangers 10-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. Darvish gave up a home run to Jhonny Peralta, the first batter he faced after the Texas outburst that sent a shell-shocked Verlander to the Detroit dugout in his shortest outing in nearly three years. The drive made it three straight games with two homers allowed for Darvish, and pulled Detroit to 8-4. Then the right-hander retired 15 of the final 16 Tigers he faced, including 10 straight. "The thing about Yu Darvish, he bends but he never breaks," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "Thats a tremendous lineup he went through. After that third inning, he settled in and found something that was working and he continued to pitch." Sotos drive just over the wall in left field came after Verlander walked in two runs -- he had three previous bases-loaded walks in his career. Mitch Morelands two-out double broke a 3-all tie before Sotos drive put Texas ahead 8-3. "It wasnt much of a night to begin with but Id definitely say the whole game kind of carry-over from my last start," said Verlander, who was coming off his worst outing of the year in a loss to Cleveland. "Im not somebody who is going to go home and pout about this, Im somebody who is going to figure it out and figure it out in a hurry." Darvish (7-1) won his fifth straight decision despite allowing two home runs for the third start in a row. Baseballs strikeout leader matched his season low with six strikeouts, and didnt get the last one until Washington decided to bring him back out for the eighth even though hed already thrown 115 pitches. "Wash asked me if I could go longer and he seemed like he wanted to go a little bit longer," Darvish said. "And I felt really good so I wanted to go. The bullpen guys were pretty used up in that last series so I wanted to go." Verlander (4-4) gave up six hits with two walks and three strikeouts in 2 2-3 innings, his shortest outing since going two innings in a 14-6 loss to the New York Mets on June 22, 2010. The 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young winner had allowed just four earned runs in four previous starts at Rangers Ballpark. It was actually the second time in Verlanders last 16 starts dating to last season that hes allowed eight runs, his career high. He did it in a 9-8 loss to Kansas City last August. "It was one of those where I think everybody in the world was lookinng for the matchup and it didnt turn out too good," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said.dddddddddddd "Those two guys out there and there were 12 runs scored -- I dont think anybody expected that. We probably let down the audience a little bit." Two nights after hitting two home runs in Oakland, Moreland had two doubles and three RBIs and pushed his batting average to .296 less than a month after he was hitting .157. Darvish ran into trouble first when five of the first six Detroit hitters in the third inning reached, starting with Don Kellys first home run of the season into the lower porch in right field. Torii Hunter and Victor Martinez had sacrifice flies to put the Tigers ahead 3-1. Verlander, the ALs strikeout leader the past two years, gave up consecutive singles to start the first and third innings. The Rangers scored just once in the first, but the right-hander couldnt survive the third once his control escaped him. After Verlander hit Ian Kinsler with a curveball to loaded the bases, Elvis Andrus walked to score a run before Lance Berkman struck out on check swing on a pitch so high it bounced off the bricks behind home plate and came straight back to the catcher Kelly. Adrian Beltre walked to tie the score, and the hits from Moreland and Soto came after one of three strikeouts by Nelson Cruz, who hit his 11th homer. Between them, Verlander and Darvish threw 74 pitches in the third inning and allowed 12 base runners and 10 runs. It wasnt quite the duel fans expected in Arlingtons most anticipated pitching matchup since Nolan Ryan beat Roger Clemens 2-1 in 1989. "They both had a bad third inning," Leyland said. "Justin was just quite worse than his but his wasnt too good either. We really grinded out our at-bats and they did, too. Thats one thing this club does and thats one thing we do, too."
