New Zealand made a quick start in their bid for a third straight Rugby Sevens World Series triumph, winning both of their matches on the opening day of the Las Vegas Sevens on Friday.New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, Kenya and Argentina all won both of their opening day matches, but reigning series champions Fiji were stunned by Samoa in their opening contest.Savelio Ropatis late try lifted Samoa to a dramatic 28-24 victory over their Pacific rivals, who rebounded with a comfortable 42-12 win over France. Englands day got off to a rocky start as they had to battle back from a 19-5 deficit to salvage a 19-19 draw with Japan.Two tries in the final two minutes, the second converted by Tom Mitchell, gained the draw, but in Englands second match - the last of the day - Joe Nayacavou sealed a superb win for Scotland with a try on the last play of a 24-14 victory that knocked England out of the running for the Cup. England needed a last-minute Philip Burgess try and Tom Mitchell conversion to salvage a draw against Japan New Zealand, whose victories at Wellington and Sydney in the last two stops in the series pulled them level with Fiji and South Africa at the top of the standings, opened the tournament at Sam Boyd Stadium with a 42-7 victory over Portugal.They followed up with a 38-0 win over Russia and in their final Pool A match, they will take on Kenya, who also went two-for-two on Friday, as did Australia in Pool B, Argentina in Pool C and South Africa in Pool D.Bryan Habana, South Africas leading try-scorer in Tests with 64, returned to Sevens after a 12-year hiatus as South Africa notched victories over Canada and Wales. Bryan Habana scored his first World Rugby Sevens try with his first touch Australia opened their campaign with a 26-0 rout of Scotland that included the Sevens debut of Quade Cooper.Cooper, 27, came on as a substitute in the final five minutes against Scotland and struggled at first to adjust to the rhythm of the seven-a-side format.However, he contributed four conversions in a 35-5 victory over Japan.The United States opened with a 19-12 victory over Wales, but wasted a 12-point lead in a sloppy 26-26 draw with Canada.

Wholesale Yeezy Shop .J. -- Josh Cribbs was in the Pro Bowl in February and out of a job six months later.NEW YORK -- On the wild-card front, the New York Yankees were not able to make any more progress on their deficit but they were able inch a little closer to first place Monday night.The Yankees will look to gain another game on at least one front Tuesday night when they continue a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium.New York has won nine of its last 14 since the non-waiver trade deadline, which saw the trades of Aroldis Chapman, Carlos Beltran and Andrew Miller. The Yankees have tied a season high by going four games over .500 for the third time and this stretch has coincided with a younger roster, which was displayed during the series opening 1-0 win.Rookie Chad Green struck out 11 in six innings while retiring the first 13 hitters and Aaron Judge had an RBI double in his third career game off R.A. Dickey. Green also was pitching to catcher Gary Sanchez, who is hitting .302 in 11 games since joining the Yankees on Aug. 3.I dont think anybody thought we were giving up, Green said. Obviously when you trade Beltran, Miller and Chapman, everybody thinks youre giving up but you still got great players here. So the young guys are going out there, trying to enjoy the moment and take it day-by-day.The Yankees won despite going 2-for-18 with runners in scoring position and stranding 14 but are 5 1/2 games out of first place for the second time in three days. They have not been less than five games out of the lead since April 28.In terms of the Yankees interests in winning the division, their ideal scenario is to hope the Boston Red Sox beat the Orioles while they beat Toronto. If merely getting into the playoffs is fine, New York fans should root for the Orioles since the Yankees are 4 1/2 games out of the second wild-card spot.Regardless of what unfolds in Baltimore, the Yankees will need continued improvement from Michael Pineda. Although Pineda is 6-10 with a 5.07 ERA, he is 4-4 with a 3.81 ERA in his last 13 starts.The Yankees have won nine of those starts, including last Thursday in Boston. New York rallied late for a 4-2 win and Pineda put the Yankees in position to win by allowing two runs and eight hits in six innings.I thought he battled, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. They had baserunners, but he made some reallly big pitches when he had to.ddddddddddddPineda has made pitches when he has to at times against the Blue Jays, going 2/3 with a 3.54 ERA in nine starts. He faced the Blue Jays April 13 in Toronto and allowed two earned runs and five hits in six innings.Despite Mondays loss, Toronto still is the American Leagues best road team. Toronto has lost three straight road games for the third time this season although it still has won seven of its last 11 games outside of Canada.Its crucial, Toronto manager John Gibbons said before Mondays loss. You got to hold your own on the road.Torontos only four-game road losing streak was two losses in Tampa Bay April 5-6 and two in Boston April 15-16.After Dickey allowed a run and four hits in five innings, Marco Estrada will take the mound Tuesday. Estrada took the loss in the April 16 game but has not lost a road start since, going 4-0 with a 2.85 ERA in his last eight road outings.Estrada was outstanding Aug. 3 in Houston when he allowed one run and four hits in seven innings. He followed it up by laboring through five innings last Tuesday in a 9-2 loss to Tampa Bay when he allowed three runs and seven hits while throwing 113 pitches.Just a little rusty, I guess, Estrada said. Those things are going to happen. At least I gave the team a chance, I thought there were a few pitches that could have gone my way. Ive got to do a better job I guess of getting ready.In 12 starts on more than four days rest, Estrada is 4-5 with a 3.57 ERA and the Blue Jays hope he resembles the pitcher who allowed one run and four hits in seven innings Aug. 3 in Houston.The amount of rest has not mattered against the Yankees for Estrada, who is 3-2 with a 3.92 ERA in seven starts against them since joining the Blue Jays last season.Estrada held the Yankees to a .243 average last year but has been sharper this season as evidenced by the .140 (7-for-50) mark New York had off him in two May starts this season.On five days rest, he allowed three runs and four hits in seven innings during an 8-4 win at New York on May 25 and on May 30, he allowed three hits in eight scoreless innings during a 4-2 home victory.
