| (SportsNetwork.com) - The Portland Trail Blazers will face their first challenge on this seven-game homestand versus the Toronto Raptors. After disposing of the lowly Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks in the first two games if this residency, the Blazers should have their boots strapped tight with the Raptors in town. Portland has won three in a row and eight of its last nine games, including Sundays 101-79 demolition of the Knicks at the Moda Center. Wesley Matthews scored 28 points, Nicolas Batum added 17 and Chris Kaman chipped in 13 off the bench for the Blazers, who made 46.9 percent from the field and dished out 25 assists. Thats our thing. Thats our game. Weve had a long streak of 20-plus assists, said Matthews. Thats the kind of team that we are. Damian Lillard had 11 points and six assists, while LaMarcus Aldridge missed the game with an illness. He is questionable Tuesday. The Trail Blazers are 14-2 at home and will also host Atlanta, the Lakers, Miami and Orlando. Toronto is 2-1 on a six-game road trip and recorded a 116-102 triumph in Denver on Sunday thanks to Kyle Lowrys 30 points and 11 assists. Lou Williams chimed in with 31 points off the bench for the Raptors, winners in eight of their last nine games. Lous defense was pretty good, too, said Raptors coach Dwane Casey. Amir Johnson had 13 points for Toronto, which shot 48.9 percent from the floor and is 10-4 on the road. The Raptors will also visit Golden State and Phoenix on the trek. Toronto is 11-4 without star guard DeMar DeRozan (groin) and 13-0 when holding the opposition under 100 points. Lowry has picked up the pace without DeRozan and is averaging 25.1 points on the road. The Raptors have lost 10 of the last 11 games against the Blazers, and the two teams will meet again March 15 in Toronto. Portland has won six straight as the host against the Raptors. Portland is 14-1 against the Eastern Conference, while Toronto has a 9-2 record against teams from the West.

Hernandez pitched eight strong innings and Robinson Cano had four hits and the Mariners defeated the Minnesota Twins 6-2. The Mariners were winless since King Felixs previous start, but Hernandez (5-1) helped snap their four-game skid by giving up two runs and seven hits while striking out five and walking one. "Its always a confidence builder coming to the park when we know hes pitching. Typically we know that we dont have to put up too many runs to come out with a W," Mariners right fielder Michael Saunders said. Hernandez has been especially tough on the Twins in recent years. In his past four starts against Minnesota, he has pitched 34 innings and allowed three earned runs with 30 strikeouts. "Its the same old story -- really good stuff," Twins left fielder Jason Kubel said of facing Hernandez. "Hes just tough, one of the toughest guys to hit." The Twins, who have won three straight series and six of nine overall, jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the third inning on a rally keyed by a successful replay challenge. With a man on first and nobody out, shortstop Danny Santana hit a dribbler to first baseman Justin Smoak, who flipped the ball to Hernandez covering at first. Santana was ruled out on the play, but replays showed that his foot hit the bag just before the pitcher arrived. Hernandez almost got out of the jam, striking out Brian Dozier and Joe Mauer on two-strike sliders, but Trevor Plouffe scored both runners with a two-out single to right-centre to put Minnesota on top 2-0. "I made one mistake," Hernandez said of his performance on Sunday. "I left that slider a little bit up against Plouffe and he got that hit. It was off the plate, but he put a good swing on it. "I was a little (angry). I did not put a zero on the scoreboard. After that I made better pitches." Meanwhile, after Twins starter Ricky Nolasco (2-4) breezed through the first three innings, the Mariners rallied by going deep in the count aand making Nolasco work the second time through the order.dddddddddddd They got one run back on Kyle Seagers RBI single in the fourth, but they also drove up Nolascos pitch count by making him throw 33 pitches that inning. Nolascos ability to avoid trouble ran out in the fifth. James Jones led off with an infield single, then scored on Michael Saunders triple to right field. Cano followed with a shot off the centre field wall for an RBI double that gave Seattle a 3-2 lead. By the end of the inning, Nolasco had thrown 100 pitches and was done for the day. And Hernandez had all the runs he needed to snap that losing streak. "With that guy over there, you have to play perfect baseball," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We didnt do that. We gave them a few too many chances, and when you give them chances like that, thats what happens." Saunders added a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning, Justin Smoak had an RBI double in the seventh and Cano scored on a wild pitch in the ninth as the Mariners pulled away. Mariners closer Fernando Rodney worked a scoreless ninth in a non-save situation to cap what Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon called an "ideal" day. "Our starter went eight and we got our closer some much-needed work," McClendon said. "It was perfect." Notes: McClendon said that the team will decide later this week whether 1B/OF Logan Morrison is ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment. Morrison has missed five weeks with a strained right hamstring. ... Seattle DH Corey Hart left the game in the fourth inning after straining his left hamstring while stealing second base. ... Canos single in the fourth extended his on-base streak to 26 games, the longest in the major leagues this year. ... The Twins will send RHP Kevin Correia (1-5, 6.80) to the mound when they open a two-game series at San Diego on Tuesday. ... The Mariners also have a day off Monday. They will travel to Texas for a two-game set against the Rangers, with RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (2-0, 1.59) starting on Tuesday. ' ' ' |
