PHILADELPHIA -- Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said after Tuesdays game that he might be onto something.This came after he was reminded that Tuesdays ejection was the 51st of his career and sixth of 2016.Whatever he was trying to do -- whether he was really mad at first base umpire Alan Porter or trying to ignite a team that had lost 12 of 14 -- it worked.The Pirates won when trailing after eight innings for the first time since July 12, 2014 -- a stretch of 140 games.Sean Rodriguezs three-run, go-ahead home run gave Pittsburgh a 5-3 win over the Phillies.The win came at a much-needed time. Theyre not mathematically out of the playoffs just yet, though it would take an awful lot for them to catch the New York Mets or St. Louis Cardinals at this point. They entered Monday six games out of the final wild-card spot.They left Monday with -- finally -- a little bit of momentum.Weve been scratching and clawing every game, Hurdle said. If youre not in the dugout, you dont feel the angst sometimes. When your offense is scratching to score runs, they take the at-bats personal. They try to keep it professional, but they take them personal.For us to battle back like that, it just goes to show you the guys are still going to play, theyre still going to fight.The same can be said of the Phillies starting pitching staff. The offense has put up the lowest run totals in the league, but the organization has to be happy about the young starting pitchers as 2016 winds down.The bullpen, not so much. Jeanmar Gomezs blown save Tuesday was his fifth of the year and he now has a 5.21 ERA in 19 save situations at home this season. The bullpen was a strong suit earlier in the year. But the starters have been hung out to dry lately.Our entire bullpen hasnt really hung in there that well, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. Im excited about the starting pitching.Alec Asher delivered the 11th consecutive start of Phillies starting pitching allowing three runs or less. The last time a Phillies staff did that was in 2011, when the team boasted the likes of Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels and Roy Oswalt. During the streak, Phillies starters have the best ERA in the league.Wednesday night will feature young righty Jake Thompson, who has lately been a much better pitcher after struggling in his first four starts. Thompson (1-5, 6.05 ERA) faces Pittsburgh left-hander Steven Brault (0-2, 3.38) when the four-game series continues in Philadelphia on Wednesday night (7:05 p.m. EST).

Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team.

The lower tier of the School End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12. LONG POND, Pa. -- Just 18, William Byron already has a slice of NASCAR history.Byron, the promising young driver for Kyle Busch Motorsports, continued his dominance in the NASCAR Truck Series and won Saturday at Pocono Raceway for a rookie-record fifth time this season.These things dont come easy at all, Byron said. Its a good thing when you get one.One? Try five.Byron added the Pocono victory to wins at Kansas, Texas, Iowa and Kentucky. He surpassed Kurt Busch, the 2004 Sprint Cup champion, who had four wins as a rookie in 2000.Byron survived a race that saw nearly half of its 60 laps run under caution. Cameron Hayley was second, followed by Brett Moffitt, Timothy Peters and Cole Custer.The No. 9 is really so fast, Hayley said. We have to go back and look at things. Hes definitely a step above us.At least Hayley was running up front at the end of the wreck-marred race. There were a whopping nine cautions -- that kind of number not even usually found in the Sprint Cup race at Pocono -- that allowed Christopher Bell to finish 10th, though he was five laps down at one poinnt.ddddddddddddThe race never ran more than eight laps without a caution.Even with the slower pace, no driver could catch Byron.Hes got so many wins, I dont know why he just didnt pull over and let me go, Hayley said, smiling. Those Joe Gibbs motors must have some good fuel economy.Byron led a race-high 44 laps and added one more win in the No. 9 Toyota for team owner and 2015 Cup champion Kyle Busch. Byron, a recent high school graduate, also has seven top-10 finishes.We just show up with so much focus that we never get off track, he said.Byron leads the points standings and is locked into the Truck version of the Chase. He expected to become a championship contender in his rookie season.I think our team is really in good position for that, he said. Nothing from the outside has really thrown us off our game.How high can his win total go?I dont look at a number, he said. If we continue to build like this, who knows what the bar is for our team.
