ough last season. Notes: The Cardinals play 17 of their next 24 game

MIAMI -- The first shot of the game was blocked by Utahs Rudy Gobert, which seemed appropriate.Defense carried the Jazz again.Gordon Hayward scored 25 points, Rodney Hood added 17 and the Jazz added to Miamis miserable start by beating the Heat 102-91 on Saturday night. The Jazz pulled away with a 15-0 run that started late in the second quarter and lasted midway through the third.Thats who we need to be, Utah coach Quin Snyder said. Thats what our strength is with Rudy, and our guys on the ball, and our wings with their size. Were a different type of defense, were more of a containment defense. But thats who we need to be and we need to make it hard on people.Hassan Whiteside had 15 points and 14 rebounds for Miami. James Johnson scored 15 points, Rodney McGruder added 14 and Josh Richardson had 12.The Heat missed 13 straight shots in that scoreless stretch, 10 of those to start the second half.Thats not who we are, thats not who weve been for the last month, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Definitely disappointing.Utah was without George Hill (right thumb) and Boris Diaw (right knee) again, then lost Derrick Favors to left knee soreness in the first quarter. But a night after holding Orlando to 74 points, and playing for fifth time on a seven-night trip, the Jazz limited Miami to 59 through three quarters -- building enough of a cushion to endure the Heat shooting 61 percent in the fourth.Its big with a couple of guys out, Hood said. Its been a long road trip. Weve played a lot of games in a short amount of days.Gobert had 12 points and 12 rebounds. Shelvin Mack scored 12, while former Heat forward Joe Johnson and Dante Exum each added 10.A huge road trip for us, Hayward said.Miami (2-6) has now dropped four straight and is off to its worst start since 2007-08.Weve just got to keep working, Whiteside said. Its not easy to win in this league.TIP-INSJazz: Hayward has been in five games this season, and scored at least 20 in all of them.

Balenciaga Shoes Online Australia . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Even when things go horribly wrong on the road, the St. Louis Cardinals can always count on one soothing stop. No matter how deep their slump, itll end in Cincinnati. Matt Carpenter broke his 0-for-23 slump with a bases-loaded double during the decisive rally, and the Cardinals ended a tough trip on the upswing by beating the Reds 15-2 on Sunday. The Cardinals went 3-8 on a trip that included seven straight losses -- four of them in Pittsburgh, allowing the Pirates to overtake them for the NL Central lead. On their final stop, an offence that couldnt do much of anything found a little bit of everything. "Offensively, we did a terrific job," manager Mike Matheny said. "We had a little bit of everything -- some power, some good situational hitting, made the (defensive) plays." Its been like that against the Reds lately. St. Louis took two of three at Great American Ball Park and has won its last six series against Cincinnati, its best such stretch against the Reds since 2003-04. The Cardinals lead the season series 8-4. "Some teams you play better than others, but theyve got our number for sure," said Reds starter Mike Leake (10-5), who gave up a season-high seven runs. "They play us tough. Its on us to try to figure them out because theyve got us figured out for the most part." The Cardinals scored their most runs against Cincinnati since 1993. Theyve scored at least 10 runs against the Reds in four games this season, the first time theyve done that since 1980. Carpenters two-run double off the wall completed a five-run rally in the sixth against Leake and two relievers, setting up another blowout. "Its a great feeling," Carpenter said. "Its even better that we come back and win the series in a convincing fashion. It was fun to join in on the action." Matt Adams, David Freese and Tony Cruz homered for the Cardinals, who have scored 13, 13, 3 and 15 runs in their last four games. St. Louis finished with 19 hits and a season high in runs. Every starter except Lance Lynn drove in at least one run. Lynn (13-5) allowed four hits in eight innings, including Zack Cozarts two-run homer. Lynn struck out a season-high 11 and joined Adam Wainwright as 13-gamme winners in a rotation that has the NLs third-best ERA.dddddddddddd "I had pretty good command of all four pitches, and I was able to use all of them on both sides of the plate," Lynn said. "That makes it a lot easier to pitch. Between my last three starts, Ive had the best stuff Ive had all year. " The Reds have dropped seven of nine, leaving the defending NL Central champions marooned in third place. The Cardinals scored in the first inning of all three games of the series. They scored four off Bronson Arroyo on Friday night, one on Saturday and four more on Sunday off Leake, who had allowed a total of four runs in his last three starts combined. Matt Holliday and Freese had RBI doubles, and Adams hit a two-run homer -- his first since July 6 -- for the 4-0 lead only 19 pitches into the game. Holliday improved to 9 for 20 career off Leake. The Cardinals sent 10 batters to the plate for five runs in the sixth, aided by a pair of errors. They opened the inning with five consecutive hits, and Carpenters two-run double off Logan Ondrusek made it 9-2 and gave the second baseman relief from his personal slump. "At that point, I was so relieved to just put the barrel of the bat on the ball that I didnt care what happened," Carpenter said. The Cardinals hit only nine homers in July, including one after the All-Star break. They had six in three days at Great American Ball Park. Reds third baseman Todd Frazier went without a hit for his ninth straight game, leaving him in an 0-for-28 slump. Its the longest by a Reds player since Drew Stubbs went 0 for 32 midway through last season. Notes: The Cardinals play 17 of their next 24 games at Busch Stadium. They open a 10-game homestand on Monday against the Dodgers, with Wainwright trying for his 14th victory. ... The Reds are off on Monday before resuming their homestand with a pair of games against the Athletics. ... Cardinals OF Carlos Beltran got a day of rest. ...
