MILWAUKEE -- Zach Davies will go for his sixth victory of the season when he takes the mound Thursday as the Milwaukee Brewers wrap up a three-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers at Miller Park.Davies has been on an absolute tear the last two months, going 5-0 with a 2.64 ERA in his last 10 starts -- after posting an 8.78 ERA in his first three outings.He set a career high with nine strikeouts his last time out, but took a no-decision after allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk in five innings of work.They fouled off a bunch of pitches, and he had a bunch of strikeouts, too, which ran up his pitch count, manager Craig Counsell said after that outing. Thats a tough middle of the lineup to get through, a challenging middle of the lineup. I thought Zach threw the ball as well as he has in his previous starts.Davies has faced the Dodgers only once before in his career, taking no decision after holding Los Angeles to a run on five hits and a walk with six strikeouts in seven innings at Dodger Stadium earlier this month.Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda has done well on the road this season, going 4-1 with a 2.79 ERA while holding opponents to a .188 batting average.The MLB rookie -- Maeda spent eight seasons with Hiroshima of the Japanese Central League prior to signing with the Dodgers this season -- is looking to rebound after allowing a season-high-tying four runs in five innings of a 6-1 loss at Pittsburgh.My job is to go deep into the game and give the team the best shot to win, Maeda told the Los Angeles Times. Yes, it is frustrating to not be able to do the job.Prior to that, hed been locked in; going 3-1 with a 1.52 ERA over a five-start stretch, including a stellar showing against the Brewers on June 19, when he allowed just a run on six hits while striking out eight over 6 1/3 innings but didnt factor into the decision of the Dodgers 2-1 victory.Im proud of him for the way he battled, Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said after that game. I know he got some insight in the dugout about trying to change some things up mechanically and it showed right away. It speaks to how talented he is, how athletic he is. His fastball command was dominant the rest of the game. Thats huge for us, because Kenta can use his off-speed at will -- and thats really good -- but teams can sit on that.Maeda allowed two hits including a double to Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun in that contest. Braun has terrorized Dodgers pitching this season, going 10-for-25 with five runs, four doubles, two home runs, seven RBI and a stolen base in six games this season.Overall, he has hits in his last 11 meetings with Los Angeles. Alton Lister Jersey . LOUIS -- Rookie Tavon Austin has missed another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St. Al Wood Jersey . Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0. Goalie Roberto Luongo, getting the call in place of Game 1 starter Carey Price, was solid when needed in making 23 saves for the shutout. https://www.cheapthunder.com/351h-dennis-johnson-jersey-thunder.html . -- Adam Snyder returned to the San Francisco 49ers this season because the offensive lineman thought it was his best opportunity to win a championship. Dennis Schroder Jersey . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable. Tom Chambers Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious. Lance Franklins controversial move to Sydney rather than the Giants killed what little faith the AFL hierarchy still had in COLA.But speaking on the cost of living allowance before the leagues historic first all-Sydney final on Saturday, AFL chairman Mike Fitzpatrick said the main thing was that Franklin had gone to the city.Fitzpatrick admitted being disappointed when the bombshell was dropped in late 2013 that Franklin would join the Swans in a record deal.The widespread assumption had been that if the star forward left Hawthorn, it would be to join GWS.Sydneys coup shone a harsh light on COLA, which was supposed to help teams in non-traditional AFL states retain players.I was quite disappointed - I reckon at the time, I was the last defender of COLA in the executive and the commission, Fitzpatrick told ABC radio.I felt expansion in the north was really important.That announcement convinced me Id been wrong for a long time.If COLA worked the way I thought it worked, then Sydney were probably out of the equation.But Fitzpatrick is rapt with the effect that Franklin has had on the games profile in Sydney, saying the Swan is one of those rare players who transcends the sport.The best thing that happened, either way, was that he went to Sydney, Fitzpatrick said.Having someone of that talent in the Sydney market, its just been terrific for us and its a bit like having had Tony Lockett in that market.Fitzpatrick is bullish about the Giants, saying they can becomme much bigger than just a niche team.ddddddddddddHe said they already had a bigger supporter base than some established rugby league teams.My personal view is that the Giants can become a very big football side, he said.They can become a very big team and a very big club.The Giants joined the AFL in 2012, a year after Gold Coast.While the Suns are yet to make a finals series, Fitzpatrick is also confident about how they are developing.He said the Suns were putting down solid roots in the notoriously-difficult southeast Queensland market.We had a long discussion at the commission with the Suns when we were up in Brisbane a few weeks ago, he said.Id say that the new leadership there ... were very comfortable with where they sit.Im actually very bullish on Gold Coast ... we believe the roots have taken.Fitzpatrick said it would be much harder to start expansion clubs in NSW and Queensland now, noting that rival football codes had become stronger in the last few years.If we wanted to be Australias game, we had to really be Australias game - we couldnt be concentrated in the southern states, he said.We just werent represented in Queensland and NSW in the way that we felt the great Australian game of Australian Rules should be.The long view - and its a 20- to 30-year view - is that we need to become the dominant sport in those states.
