TOKYO -- Tokyo Governor Yoichi Masuzoe on Wednesday defended his call to cut costs by relocating some venues for the 2020 Olympics, even if it threatens plans for having almost all the facilities close to the athletes village. Miami Dolphins Jerseys . Tokyo won the right to host the 2020 Olympics last year with a promise to deliver a compact games, with 28 of the proposed 33 competition venues within five miles (8 kilometres) of the village. But Japanese Olympic organizers said they are reviewing their venue plans because of concerns over rising costs. Japan has already informed the International Olympic Committee about its intention to review and revise its plans. According to reports in the Japanese media, organizers are considering moving some venues to locations as far away as Saitama, which is part of the Greater Tokyo Area but an hour away from central Tokyo. "Even if a venue is 100 kilometres (60 miles) away you can still achieve a maximum travel time of 30 minutes if the transportation system if appropriate," Masuzoe told a news conference at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan. Masuzoe said the relocation of some venues outside that radius will not increase travel times between the facilities if good transportation systems are in place. Insisting that he also has a responsibility to Tokyo taxpayers, Masuzoe said the games need to be compact in terms of cost and not just geography -- a principle the IOC agrees with. "Expenses can be 30, 40, 50 times more than the original plan," Masuzoe said. "How can I persuade the taxpayers to pay this kind of money? We are working with the IOC and the various sports federations to make the games sustainable. Legacy is very important. If you abolish everything after the games who can accept that?" The IOC, under new President Thomas Bach, is currently looking at ways of reducing the costs of hosting future Olympics. Several cities declined to bid or have dropped out of the race for the 2022 Winter Games because of financial concerns. Masuzoe did not refer specifically to plans to replace Tokyos National Stadium with a colossal, 80,000-seat facility, the centerpiece of the citys Olympic bid. The proposed new stadium has caused protests over its size, cost and design.

Sam, who joined the Cowboys in early September, has spent the entire season on the practice roster. MIAMI -- After giving up their early lead, the Miami Marlins took advantage of the New York Mets miscues late. Giancarlo Stanton hit his 34th home run and the Marlins scored three runs in the eighth inning to beat the Mets 9-6 on Monday. "It was back and forth, a few different lead changes there, we kept pushing and that was the biggest key to finish it off," Stanton said. Miami capitalized on some wildness by Mets reliever Jeurys Familia (2-4) in the eighth. Familia had two throwing errors and a wild pitch, leading to the three tiebreaking runs as the Marlins who snapped a five-game losing streak to the Mets. "I just had a bad day," Familia said. "I felt the same way I do every time out, I just had a bad day." Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who had doubled to open the inning, scored on Familias wild pitch two batters later, giving the Marlins a 7-6 lead. Adeiny Hechavarria later scored on a fielders choice with the bases loaded and Christian Yelich came in on a walk to Casey McGehee. Marcell Ozuna and McGehee finished with two RBIs each for the Marlins, who used five relievers after starter Henderson Alvarez left in the third inning with a left oblique strain. A.J. Ramos (6-0) pitched a scoreless eighth and Steve Cishek pitched the ninth for his 32nd save in 36 chances. Dilson Herrera, a 20-year old second baseman who is the youngest player in the Majors and the only one to jump from Single-A to the big leagues, hit his first career home run and first career triple while driving in three runs for the Mets. David Wright had two RBIs for New York. The score was tied at 6-6 going into the eighth before the Mets committed three of their season-high six errors and walked three batters. "It wasnt a big-league baseball game, I can tell you that," Mets manager Terry Collins said. Alvarez battled through the injury in the first two innings, retiring the first six batters he faced before he was pulled in a rough third inning. Alvarez allowed a home run to Herrera to start the third and a base hit by Wright, which cleared the bases after Ozunas wild throow home from centre field ended up in the stands to give the Mets a 4-2 lead.

"I went out there with the pain and I was able to go through it, but sometimes youve got to give in to it. It was frustrating and a terrible feeling." Marlins manager Mike Redmond and a trainer came out to talk to Alvarez, who eventually slammed the ball into Redmonds hand when he left the mound. "You kidding me? All the foul tips Ive taken in my life, that was nothing," Redmond said. "It felt like a feather." The Mets led 6-5 in sixth after Herreras two-run triple, but the Marlins tied it in the bottom of the sixth on an RBI single by Yelich. Mets starter Zack Wheeler, who came into the game with a 6-1 record and 2.17 ERA over his last 11 starts, lasted just 4 2-3 innings while throwing 114 pitches. He struck out eight and allowed five hits and five runs -- two earned. "I felt terrible all day, honestly," Wheeler said. "My breaking ball was up in the zone -- nothing was really working for me." TRAINERS ROOM Marlins: Alvarez began feeling pain in his oblique during his last start on Aug. 27 at the Los Angeles Angels. He is listed as day-to-day and plans on returning to the mound this season. "The plan is to keep doing my work, keep doing my training, get healthy, and finish the year off healthy and finish the year off strong," Alvarez said. ... RHP Bryan Morris (hip) plans to be available in the bullpen on Tuesday. UP NEXT Marlins RHP Brad Penny (1-0, 5.40) will get the start against Mets LHP Jon Niese (7-10, 3.48) on Tuesday. Niese is 1-0 with a 1.42 ERA in three career starts at Marlins Park. Penny is 5-13 with a 6.25 ERA in his career against the Mets. STANTON STRIKES EARLY Stanton is tied with Torontos Jose Bautista for the most first-inning home runs in the majors this season with 12. HERRERA OFF TO A GOOD START Herrera is the youngest Met to hit his first career home run since Jose Reyes did so on June 15, 2003, against the Angels at Anaheim, California.
