LOS ANGELES -- Matt Kemp apparently has regained the home run stoke that made him runner-up in the MVP race three seasons ago. Ricky Jean-Francois Jersey . Now its just a matter of staying healthy and retaining his everyday job in centre field for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kemp hit his first two home runs at Dodger Stadium since late in 2012, helping Los Angeles beat the San Francisco Giants 6-2 Sunday night to avoid a three-game sweep. "It always feels good to hit home runs here in Dodger Stadium, especially with the home crowd," Kemp said. "It has been a while, so I was pretty excited to do that. It can be tough to hit home runs here at times, but it looked like the ball was carrying a little bit tonight." Hanley Ramirez also slugged his first two homers of the season in support of Zack Greinke (2-0). The right-hander pitched six innings, allowing two runs and six hits -- including Brandon Belts fourth homer leading off the sixth, and the first of the season by Hunter Pence three batters later. Greinke struck out eight and walked none. Matt Cain (0-1) gave up five runs and six hits in six innings with three strikeouts and no walks. It was the eighth time the right-hander has surrendered three or more homers in a game during his 10-year career, and the first time since May 16, 2013 at Colorado in an 8-6 win. The Dodgers last run off him came on Andre Ethiers sacrifice fly in the sixth. Kemp, who hit a career-high 39 home runs in 2011, entered Sunday with two homers and three RBIs in 54 career at-bats against Cain. "I made three really big mistakes to guys who can drive the ball well. Thats what ended up changing the game and thats what ended up costing us," Cain said. "I dont want to nibble and I dont want to go away from the strike zone. Im going to try to attack guys. Obviously, you want to keep the ball in the park, but Ive always been a guy that can elevate the ball. But sometimes when its elevated to certain guys and you leave in certain areas, its prone to go out." Cain, who gave up a career-worst 23 home runs last season, threw Kemp a 1-0 pitch that ended up in the pavilion seats in left-centre with two out in the second. It ended the two-time All-Stars homerless drought of 140 at-bats at Chavez Ravine since his go-ahead two-run shot off Colorados Jorge De La Rosa on Sept. 30, 2012. Kemp did it again his next time up, this time to right-centre on an 0-1 delivery after a double by Adrian Gonzalez. It was his sixth career multihomer game and first since Sept. 29, 2012. "Cains a tough pitcher and he throws a lot of different pitches," Kemp said. "So I was just looking to get a ball over the plate, and he gave me a couple of them over the plate and I put some good swings on them and did what I needed to do. My second home run, thats when I know Im seeing the ball good. When Im driving the ball to right field." Kemp was activated from the disabled list on Friday, after injuries limited him to 73 games last season and forced him to undergo surgery on his is left ankle and shoulder. Manager Don Mattingly chose not to start Kemp in the series opener, but reversed his decision after benching right fielder Yasiel Puig for arriving late to the ballpark. Puig didnt play Sunday, either. This time it was because of a swollen left thumb, which occurred on Saturday when he made a headfirst slide into first base on an infield hit. Puig finished that game, then left the ballpark earlier Sunday to get an MRI exam before rejoining his teammates in the dugout before the start of this one. The MRI showed a strained ligament in the thumb. Ramirez homered to centre field in the eighth against David Huff, capping his 15th career multihomer game. Giants centre fielder Angel Pagan singled his first two times up for San Franciscos only hits through the first four innings -- and robbed Greinke of an extra-base hit in the third with a diving catch in left-centre. Greinke got his first hit of the season his next time up, however, driving a ground-rule double to left-centre in the fifth. NOTES: The Giants begin their home schedule Tuesday night, with Tim Hudson making his official debut with the team against Arizonas Trevor Cahill. ... Mattingly has decided to back off on LHP Hyun-Jim Ryu and give him an extra days rest after he started three of the teams first six games due to Clayton Kershaws first career stint on the disabled list. ... Dodgers RHP Josh Beckett, whose season debut has been delayed by calf and ankle issues after he underwent thoracic outlet syndrome surgery last year, threw a bullpen session Sunday and could start Wednesdays interleague game against Detroit. Josh Jones Jersey . Then he got back at the team that released him five days before the start of last season, hitting a tiebreaking double in the ninth inning of the first game at Fenway Park since Boston won the World Series last October.

And how the Jets lost the 5-4 game to the New York Islanders on Thursday is what had Coach Claude Noel hot after the game. http://www.thepackersnflfanshop.com/Black-Friday-Martellus-Bennett-Jersey/ . Curtis Davies and Robert Koren secured the victory with goals inside 35 minutes of the fifth-round replay against the second-tier side.TORONTO - The Blue Jays and Brandon Morrow have set a mid-October deadline for a final decision on how to deal with the entrapped radial nerve in the pitchers forearm. "Im halfway through my no-throwing, now," said Morrow of his six-week shutdown period. "Then Ill rehab it, start strengthening it and then start throwing. I havent been doing anything below the elbow. Theyve been working on the nerve in my neck and shoulder just to work on it up top just to give it more slack down below." Morrow was prescribed the six weeks of rest by noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews. Hes visiting Toronto to confer with Blue Jays doctors and will remain with the club through its series in Phoenix next week. Hes been rehabbing near his home in Scottsdale, Arizona and will resume doing so when the team departs for Minneapolis. By mid-October, Morrow plans to be up on a mound and airing it out. There is to be no guesswork with the final decision. The problem is, with such a rare injury, there was some guesswork with the diagnosis. Andrews ruled out all other possibilities after an MRI and other extensive tests turned up nothing. Nerve problems dont show on scans. "They cant pinpoint exactly, you know Ive had scans and pictures and I had an EMG where they stick a bunch of needles in your arm and get little electrical readings and that still doesnt tell you exactly where it is," said Morrow. "They dont know until they open up and I think even when they do open it up they release the whole nerve, not just a very specific point." Its a procedure Morrow is hoping to avoid. However, he says the recovery time from such a surgery would be three months, making him available for the start of spring training in mid-February. "Thats why that date (mid-October) is picked," said Morrow. Morrows last start was on May 28 against the Braves. He says he first felt pain in his forearm in the start prior, on May 23 versus Baltimore. Morrow knew he was in trouble when he threw a bullpen session in Atlanta on May 30. Early into his stint on the disabled list Morrow made one rehab appearance, for Single-A Dunedin, on June 17. He didnt feel right. "I dont know if it made it worse in the long run," said Morrow of pitching through the pain. "I would be a little bit sore but serviceable, able to play catch every day and feel all right. Long toss, no real problems but when I tried to amp it up and get off the mound, the extra five or 10-percent of effort level makes a big difference." Its been aan agitating summer and a lost season in a profession with an already limited window. Kevin King Jersey. Morrow is frustrated by the experience. "Its been tough," said Morrow. "Tough for me to watch, to even turn on a game. To even watch games, you feel like youre the sick kid during winter and watching all your friends sled outside and youre at the window like, why cant I join?" CECIL RETURNS Brett Cecil returned and pitched one-third of an inning on Friday after missing the Yankees series with a tired shoulder. He needed the rest. "Just really had fatigue," said Cecil. "There was never really pain. Just tightness and a fatigue feeling." Cecil wasnt panicked. Having broken the growth plate in his left elbow, while throwing a pitch, when he was 13 years old, Cecil says he knows the difference between troublesome pain and working through typical pitchers soreness. Through Thursday, Cecil had appeared in 56 of the Blue Jays 134 games. Hed thrown 59 1/3 innings, striking out 69 batters. What often isnt considered is aside from the appearances, relievers also apply strain on their arms during games in which they warm up but dont ultimately pitch. "It takes a toll," said Cecil. "I know the coaches, the manager and us in the bullpen wish there was some way we could avoid a lot of that but theres really nothing you can do." EMILIO "SMITH" RETURNS TO TORONTO Emilio Bonifacio had a good laugh at the nameplate above his locker in the visitors clubhouse. He walked in, looked up and saw EMILIO SMITH. He knew the culprit. "Thats coming from Buehrle," said Bonifacio. "One day I was saying, maybe Ive got to change my name so that I can play for when I was there. I said, Smith or something, so that day against Houston I pinch hit and I got a double so when I scored he said thats going to be your name." Entering play Friday, Bonifacio had a slash line of .283/.377/.358 in 15 games with Kansas City. In 94 games with the Blue Jays, Bonifacio hit .218/.258/.321. Whats the difference? "Ive been playing more," said Bonifacio. "Ive got more time and theyve given me the opportunity to get my timing back. Thats the main thing. I have my timing, I feel pretty good at the plate." Bonifacio has no regrets about his time in Toronto. "I gave 100 percent there every time they needed me," he said. "I understand the situation we had. They were looking for someone who could help the team and we were losing."
