DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers longest winning streak of the season ended Thursday. Theyll try to get another one going this weekend when they face another team fighting for a playoff spot.The New York Mets, coming off a four-game split with the crosstown rival Yankees, will make their first journey to Detroits Comerica Park since June 2011. The three-game showdown begins on Friday night.Detroit dropped three games behind American League Central Division leader Cleveland with a 6-3 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Thursday afternoon.You try to win every series, Tigers catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. Its been a great eight-win run, so now were going to start a new one.Following a down year in which they finished last in the division, the Tigers have re-established themselves as a contender. Despite losing the series finale to the White Sox, theyre still 10 games over .500.Its awesome. Thats what helps teams get through August and September, right fielder J.D. Martinez said. Its a long last couple of months if youre out of it. Youre kind of just grinding through and the clubhouse is just miserable. Last year, thats kind of how it felt. Its just tough to go out there and play. But when you know youre in it and youve got a shot to make it to the playoffs, theres nothing like it.The Tigers will send out the American League Pitcher of the Month for July in the series opener. Justin Verlander compiled a 4-0 record in six starts last month, including a complete-game victory over Houston on Saturday when he recorded a season-high 11 strikeouts.Cameron Maybins status for the weekend series is uncertain. The Tigers center fielder suffered a mildly sprained thumb on his glove hand while diving for a ball on Wednesday and did not play on Thursday.The Tigers wont see the slugging outfielder they traded last season. Mets left fielder Yoenis Cespedes was placed on the 15-day disabled list after he aggravated a right quad strain during a 9-5 loss to the Yankees on Wednesday.The Mets were planning to use him as a designated hitter during the weekend series before the pain persisted. He appeared in 14 of 21 games after initially suffering the injury on July 8 and hit just .227 with one homer in that span.Its a little frustrating, Cespedes told the New York Times and other media members through an interpreter. Ive missed games and lost my timing trying to get back on the field to help the team, and I cant.The addition of slugger Jay Bruce at the trade deadline softens the blow. Bruce hit his first homer with the Mets, a three-run shot, in a 4-1 win over the Yankees on Thursday. The Mets will still miss Cespedes presence in the middle of the order.He was a huge factor. Were not going to mistake that, Mets manager Terry Collins said. He was a huge factor. But weve gone through this (all) year, with not just Ces but a lot of guys. ... Theres going to be a lot of guys in that clubhouse right now who have to do a little bit more.Right-hander Noah Syndergaard will be seeking his first win in five starts when he opposes Verlander. Syndergaard has two losses and two no-decisions in that span, though he has only given up seven earned runs. He took a no-decision in his last start on Sunday against Colorado, allowing three runs -- two earned -- with six strikeouts in six innings.The Tigers will be facing Syndergaard, who is pitching with a bone spur in his elbow, for the first time. Charles Sims Jersey . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. Vernon Hargreaves III Jersey . Mickelson barely made the cut but had the best round of the day with nine birdies and an eagle coupled with two bogeys to sit two shots behind leader Craig Lee of Scotland. Lee shot a 69 for a 12-under 204 total. "I just love the fact I am in contention and have an opportunity in my first tournament of the year here in Abu Dhabi," Mickelson said. http://www.shopbuccaneersauthentic.com/Youth-Peyton-Barber-Elite-Jersey/ . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. Doug Martin Jersey . The 15th-ranked Canadian men lost the opening two games of their European tour: 19-15 to No. 17 Georgia and 21-20 to No. Adarius Glanton Jersey . 1, meaning problems for the doping controls at both major international sports events next year. The World Anti-Doping Agency provisionally suspended the Moscow Antidoping Center on Sunday, saying its operations must improve or a six-month ban on the facilitys accreditation will be imposed. Mark Stoneman, Durhams highly rated opening batsman, will join Surrey at the end of the season after turning down the offer of a new contract. The decision is a blow to Durham, with Stoneman having come through the clubs academy to captain the side in limited-overs cricket.Stoneman will link up with former Durham team-mate Mark Di Venuto, who is now Surreys head coach. He could be followed by more high-profile departures due to the straitened financial circumstances at Durham, with Scott Borthwick, Mark Wood and Keaton Jennings among the most high-profile players out of contract at the end of the season.Both Stoneman and Borthwick have featured in recent discussions for England selection and the county would benefit from ECB payments for their development even if they were to be called up after switching clubs.Despite traditionally tough batting surfaces at Chester-le-Street, Stoneman has flourished over the last few years, passing 1000 first-class runs in each season since 2013. His first-class average is just 32.11 but he has been mentioned as a possible Test opening partner for Alastair Cook. In List A cricket, Stoneman averages 40.17 and led Durham to victory in the Royal London Cup two years ago.The 29-year-old indicated that a desire to win over the England selectors contributed to his decision to move south, despite being offered a two-year deal by Durham.Joining Surrey under the guidance of long-time mentor Michael Di Venuto and Alec Stewart will provide the platform to reach new levels with my batting, Stoneman said. It is a fantastic opportunity to join a young and exciting squad. I am very excited for the years ahead at the Kia Oval which is a great Test match venue and I hope my experience can contribute to a period of success for Surrey CCC.The desire to pllay for England is as strong as it has ever been and I feel that now is the right time to accept a new challenge in an environment which will hopefully see me fulfil the dream of playing for England.dddddddddddd.Durham have also allowed Phil Mustard to leave, with his contract up at the end of the season, but Paul Collingwood will continue to play on. Collingwood, captain of the Championship side, has agreed another one-year extension, which will take him into his 22nd year as a professional.Collingwood, 40, is currently averaging 50.66 in the Championship and saw Durham move up to second in the Division One table after a hard-fought victory over Lancashire at Southport last week.I am so proud to still be playing for my home county who have given me the perfect environment to fulfil all of my cricketing dreams, Collingwood said. I feel that I can continue to contribute to the team and I really want to help develop the next generation of Durham cricketers.I know that this club still has so much to offer English cricket and I continue to be excited by the young talent coming through the ranks.Mustard, who is in his benefit year, will join Gloucestershire on loan until the end of the season, meaning he is likely to miss out on a farewell T20 appearance at Chester-le-Street. The 33-year-old lost his place in the Championship team last year, briefly joining Lancashire on loan, and although he has continued to be a leading limted-overs performer, Durham have been unable to afford a new deal for him.He joins Gloucestershire as cover for Gareth Roderick, who suffered a finger dislocation that required surgery and is expected to be out for six weeks.
