Glamorgan 118 for 5 (Bradd 75*) trail Worcestershire 163 (Leach 43, Whiteley 40, Hogan 4-44) by 45 runsScorecardA sparkling half-century by Will Bragg steadied Glamorgan as 15 wickets went down on the opening day of the Specsavers County Championship meeting with promotion contenders Worcestershire at New Road.The hard-hitting left hander ended a recent run of single-figure scores by making 75 not out as the Welsh county reached 118 for 5 after dismissing the home side for 163 by tea.On a cloudy, sultry morning, Jacques Rudolph backed his seamers by choosing to bowl first and they were soon on a roll as Worcestershire collapsed to 37 for 5. A subsequent partnership of 66 by Ross Whiteley (40) and Joe Leach (43) seemed to be no more than damage limitation but grew in value when Glamorgan began to lose wickets.Worcestershires director of cricket, Steve Rhodes, has targeted three wins in the last five matches to put his team in a really good position in the promotion race. So far this one has been tougher than may have been anticipated against a side who were propping up the Division Two table.Bragg suggested that swing played a large part. The pitch is quite slow, slower than normal, but the ball was swinging nicely for our bowlers once the lacquer had gone off it after 10 overs. It was the same when they bowled but we could have been in a stronger position but for a couple of sloppy shots.Rhodes also played down too many pitch discussions. At 37 for five we were in all sorts of trouble and it was not necessarily down to the pitch. We played a few shots wed like to rewind and play again but the way we fought back was good. It was a wholehearted effort by the bowlers. Swing was Glamorgans big asset, as Brett DOliveira discovered when he was bowled, playing no shot, in teenager Lukas Careys second over. This was a big comedown for the opener after making a career-best 202 not out when the teams met at Cardiff in May.Wicketkeeper Mark Wallace was one who benefited from the movement, whether in the air or off the pitch. He took three catches in the morning and two more later.Graham Wagg bowled an excellent spell with the new ball, taking the outside edge to dismiss Daryl Mitchell in his fifth over, and Michael Hogan started with two wickets without conceding a run in 10 deliveries.Tom Fell (16) drove to cover, where Wagg held a smart catch, and Tom Kohler-Cadmore was quickly added to Wallaces list of victims. It was five down when Joe Clarke followed a ball from Craig Meschede but Ben Cox held up the Welsh charge for a while until he was caught at first slip off Wagg after lunch.Glamorgan were only checked when Whiteley played responsibly for more than two hours and found buccaneering support from Leach. Whiteley was eventually caught at mid-on when cramped up by a ball from Meschede and Hogan (four for 44) landed a double blow in the space of three balls.Ed Barnard was caught by Wallace and Leach drove hard to Meschede at mid-on. The last pair hung around for half-an-hour before Wallace had the final word when holding Jack Shantrys edge off Carey.With the sun shining, Glamorgans reply began badly with Nick Selman bowled, second ball, by Leach but Bragg got things moving with four boundaries in an over from Barnard.Rudolph helped put on 54 until driving a ball from Charlie Morris to mid-off and Bragg completed 50 from 54 balls before David Lloyd was taken at second slip off Shantry.Further wickets saw Aneurin Donald playing on to Leach and Meschede pulling Barnard to mid-on.

Nike Vapormax Laceless SE . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. CHICAGO -- For the fourth time in their seven games this postseason, Clayton Kershaw takes the ball for the Dodgers, while Chicago Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks is merely glad to be back on the mound.Kershaw won Game 1 of the National League Division Series, then started Game 4 on short rest and came in to close Game 5, earning one win and a save against the Washington Nationals.Three nights after the seven-pitch, series-clinching save at Washington, Kershaw gets the call Sunday night after the Cubs rode a Miguel Montero grand slam to a 8-4 win in Game 1 of the NLCS the night before.I feel good, Kershaw said, Im excited. Its been a little bit since we got to do this, and Wrigley Field, its going to be pretty exciting.Hendricks, 26, has shown no ill effects since a comeback line drive clocked off the bat of Giants outfielder Angel Pagan at 94 mph drilled the lanky 180-pounder in the right forearm in Game 2 of the NLDS, forcing him to exit in the fourth inning. He led the NL with a 2.13 ERA and was second in walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP) to Max Scherzer of the Nationals.Anytime something happens to your arm, your throwing arm, its not ideal, Hendricks said. Once X-rays were negative, I felt a lot better about it. I knew it was going to be a bad bruise type of thing, get through a couple days and it wouldnt be a problem.While the recent use sounds taxing, Kershaw argues hes relatively fresh. He pitched 149 innings in the regular season and didnt start a game between June 26 and September 9, when he returned from a layoff prompted by a herniated disk in his back to face the Miami Marlins. Kershaw was 12-4 with a 1.69 ERA in the regular season and gave up more than three runs just twice in 21 starts.However, he allowed 15 hits and eight earned runs as Washington hit .294 against him in the NLDS. In his last seven playoff games, which omits a four-inning, seven-run outing in Game 6 of the 2013 NLCS at St. Louis, Kershaw is 2/3 with a 5.35 ERA (23 runs allowed in 38 2/3 innings).In Washington last week, the Dodgers felt Kershaws fastball velocity was good enough but his slider wasnt where it has been and the curveball wasnt as good as Ive seen it, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Kershaw himself said he wasnt awesome.Against Chicagos offense, Kershaw will need to be closer to it. The Cubs were 89-17 this season when scoring at least four runs, and even with a lineup loaded with lefties, Hendricks has not been easily chased. He modified his release point and consisttently generates soft contact from opposing hitters with a heavy sinker.ddddddddddddHendricks said he would fall back on routine Sunday afternoon when he arrives before Game 2. The Southern California native said he grew up a fan of the Angels -- not the Dodgers -- because his favorite player was first baseman J.T. Snow. Cubs manager Joe Maddon described Hendricks, who is expected to be in the running for the National League Cy Young Award, as California cool, carrying an identical even demeanor no matter the circumstances.He got the nod for Game 2 over Jake Arrieta, who starts Game 3 on Tuesday in California and spun a no-hitter at Dodger Stadium in August 2015.Twenty of Hendricks 31 regular-season starts were quality starts and he posted a 16-8 record. The Dodgers havent seen Hendricks since June 2, his only outing against the team this season. Hendricks cruised eight innings, allowing two runs on three hits with six strikeouts.Theres one really obvious factor to me, and its the word confidence, Maddon said of Hendricks development this season. Hes much more confident. ... I think hes added a couple new wrinkles to what hes doing out there, successfully, and with that hes pitched some complete games, too. And we all do better when were confident regardless of what were doing. He has just earned it.The Dodgers went to Kershaw before setting their NLCS rotation and, after a very brief conversation, knew he was good to go Sunday.Its not complicated in the sense of, if he feels good, then its a no-brainer, Roberts said. Its just more of just getting assurance that he feels good physically, which he does, and so its one of those things. When you get chance for Clayton to pitch games 2 and potentially 6, thats a good thing for us.Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner and first baseman Adrian Gonzalez have home runs against Hendricks in previous seasons.Cubs centerfielder Dexter Fowler, who led off Game 1 with a single, has a .409 career average (18-for-44, two doubles) against Kershaw, but the middle of the Chicago order has not done much damage in their career facing L.A.s ace. First baseman Anthony Rizzo is 3-for-11 with a home run and Kris Bryant is 1-for-5 with four strikeouts.The Cubs lineup is pretty solid, obviously, Kershaw said. They got some guys in there that had some pretty amazing seasons, and theyre the best team in baseball for a reason.
