LA CAVERNE DU PONT-DARC, France -- Tom Dumoulin had this day circled on his calendar for months.The Dutch cyclist knew that the opening time trial of the Tour de France perfectly suited his strengths.But when he awoke on Friday to the news of the truck attack in nearby Nice that left at least 84 people dead, many of them children, his plans went out the window.I went out of focus this morning, which is normal I guess, when you hear about these terrible things happening just a few hundred kilometers away from you, Dumoulin said. But I just went for it and it was a very good time trial. To win with more than a minute on (Chris) Froome and everyone else is something I didnt expect, and it gives me a lot of confidence.Starting well before the races overall leaders on a day featuring 70-kph (45-mph) winds, Dumoulin dominated the 37.5-kilometer (23-mile) race against the clock from Bourg-Saint-Andeol to La Caverne du Pont-Darc, the decorated cave that contains human drawings from about 30,000 years ago.Dumoulin won the 13th stage with a massive advantage of 63 seconds on Froome, with Portugal time trial champion Nelson Oliveira placing third, 1:31 back.It was Dumoulins second stage victory of this Tour after he also claimed Stage 9 with a solo breakaway through a hailstorm on a mountain-top finish in Andorra.Few riders besides the top overall contenders can win both a big mountain stage and a time trial in the same Grand Tour. In addition to two stages in last years Spanish Vuelta, Dumoulin also won the opening time trial in this years Giro dItalia, and wore the pink jersey for six stages before withdrawing midway through the race with saddle sores.So when might the Team Giant-Alpecin rider attempt to win a Grand Tour?Ive been asked that a lot of times, Dumoulin said. But also winning by a minute in a time trial is not possible when you go full gas every day. So theres a bit of perspective. I will definitely be focusing on the GC (general classification) in a Grand Tour in the future but I cannot say when that will be.Dumoulin is 40th overall, nearly an hour behind race leader Froome.More importantly, he considers himself the favorite for the time trial at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.I am. I cannot deny that after today, Dumoulin said. I have to maintain my condition to maintain that. I will not go full out every day. Ill keep picking my days and hopefully it will pay off in Rio.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf Jaden Schwartz Jersey .

Vladimir Sobotka Jersey . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead. Carter Hutton Jersey .com) - The Chicago Blackhawks aim for their third three-game winning streak of the season when they host the struggling Edmonton Oilers in Sundays battle at the United Center. BOSTON -- Rick Porcello certainly feels at home.Porcello pitched seven strong innings to remain unbeaten at Fenway Park this season, Xander Bogaerts homered and the Boston Red Sox sent the Tampa Bay Rays to their fifth straight loss, 4-1 on Saturday.Absolutely, coming a here and pitching here now, I feel a lot more comfortable, said the right-hander after raising his record to 8-0 in nine Fenway starts.On a day the Red Sox learned they lost closer Craig Kimbrel with a left knee injury for likely three to six weeks, they won for the fifth time in six games.After being acquired from Detroit in a trade during the offseason before 2015, the 27-year-old took a while to start feeling relaxed in Fenway.Last year, he was expected to be an ace for the staff but he lost six of his first 11 starts at home and ended the season just 9-15 overall with a 4.92 ERA.More than anything, we look back to a year and half that hes been here, probably getting in his surroundings, Red Sox manager John Farrell said. The first time that he had been away from the Tigers after six full years in the big leagues there.Dustin Pedroia added a two-run single for Boston, which looks for a sweep of the three-game series Sunday when former Rays ace David Price is scheduled to pitch.Brad Miller hit a solo homer for the Rays, who have dropped 21 of 24.Porcello (11-2) allowed a run on six hits, striking out five and not walking anyone.Koji Uehara worked the ninth for his fourth save, second in two days.Matt Moore (5-6) gave up four runs, two of them unearned, in six innings. He held the Red Sox scoreless on three hits over seven innings in his last start against them, at home on June 29.We know what were capable of doing, Moore said. Regardless of what just happened the last month, that sounds like a victim attitude. I dont think anybody in here is going to admit to that -- I know I wont.Bogaerts two-run homer completely left Fenway over the GGreen Monster seats and made it 2-1 in the fourth.dddddddddddd Pedroias single came an inning later.There were a couple of misfires in there that you could tell -- the pitch to Bogaerts, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. But, overall, I thought he did a nice job of kind of balancing.Millers drive gave Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead in the first. He has three career hits against Porcello, all solo homers.The Red Sox replaced Kimbrel quickly, acquiring Diamondbacks closer Brad Ziegler early Saturday. Hes expected to be with the team Sunday.Kimbrel tore his medial meniscus shagging balls in the outfield Friday and is scheduled for surgery Monday.HONOREEThe 100-year-old daughter of Babe Ruth -- Julia Ruth Stevens -- tossed out the ceremonial first pitch. She turned 100 on Thursday.FALLINGThe Rays (34-53) dropped 19 games under .500 for the first time since the end of 2007.ROOM FOR NEW GUYTo make room for Ziegler, Boston placed RHP Sean OSullivan on the 15-day DL with left knee tendinitis.TRAINERS ROOMRays: CF Kevin Kiermaier (fractured left hand) worked out pregame. Cash said hell likely start a rehab assignment Monday and they hope to have him in the lineup Friday.Red Sox: Farrell said Brock Holt, who left Fridays game with a sprained left ankle, isnt likely to play Sunday, but the team hopes to have him back Friday. . Farrell also said 1B Hanley Ramirez was sore. Ramirez was out of the lineup after fouling a ball off his left shin twice in the last few days.UP NEXTRays: RHP Jake Odorizzi (3-4, 4.33 ERA) is set to start the series finale on Sunday. Hes looking to rebound from a rough start Tuesday when he gave up a season-high seven runs.Red Sox: Price (8-6, 4.64) looks to snap a personal two-game losing streak. The lefty lost to his former team on June 29, giving up four runs in 6 1/3 innings.
