MOSCOW -- His legs were hurting, the rain was pouring and he was trailing late in the race. Doesnt matter. This is Usain Bolt. And nothing gets in the way of him and first place, especially when hes driven as he was Sunday in the 100-meter final at the world championships. Bolt blew by Justin Gatlin with about 30 metres to go and never glanced back. He also didnt even crack a smile when he crossed the finish line because this took a lot more work than the worlds fastest sprinter usually needs. Gatlin was second and Bolts Jamaican teammate, Nesta Carter, took third. Of all Bolts titles, this one will have a special meaning, considering he false-started two years ago in the final to lose his crown. Now, its his again. "Its always great to get back your title," said Bolt, who won in 9.77 seconds. "Im happy with myself I got it done." Many of Bolts top rivals were missing from the field. Gone were Tyson Gay (doping offence) and Jamaican teammate Yohan Blake, who was the reigning champion but skipped the worlds because of an injured hamstring. Shortly after the race, Bolt sauntered around the track with his countrys flag tied around his neck like a cape. These days, he has to be the Superman of his sport. Given all the recent doping scandals, track needs someone to save the day. For now, he will settle for blowing away the dark cloud over his proud sprinting nation, which saw some of its most decorated sprinters fall from grace. Asafa Powell, Sherone Simpson and Veronica Campbell-Brown all tested positive for a banned substance and werent at the worlds. "Im just doing my part by running fast, winning titles and letting the world know you can do it clean," Bolt said. "My focus is to continue doing what I do." And that means running fast times, even on a drenched track. What started as a steady drizzle turned into a downpour just before the gun sounded. So much so that Bolt clowned around when he was introduced to the crowd, pretending to open an umbrella. Really, though, rain doesnt bother him. Not in the least. Neither does anything else, like falling behind early. He knew he might trail Gatlin at the halfway mark, because Bolt has never been a good starter and may have been extra cautious considering what happened in South Korea two years ago. In the lane next to him, Gatlin got off to a great start and thought he might have enough in the tank to beat Bolt, just as he did two months ago in Rome. "Then I saw these long legs coming up on my right side," Gatlin said. "Hes great. Hes just great." These two arent exactly the best of friends, but after the race, Gatlin congratulated Bolt, who had some kind words in return. "For him to say to me, Hey, youre the guy who pushes me to go even faster. Im honoured in that," Gatlin said. "But I thought I had it for a second." Johnny Gaudreau Jersey .C.

SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. PHOENIX -- Stephen Strasburg even gave himself a little offensive support in picking up his major league-leading 15th win Monday night.Strasburg made it look easy on the mound and the Washington Nationals did the same with the bats, collecting 19 hits. Anthony Rendon drove in three runs, Daniel Murphy went 3 for 3 and the Nationals beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 14-1.Strasburg (15-1) allowed a run and three hits in six innings, striking out six and walking two. He also had three hits and an RBI.You tell yourself theres a lot of game left and you just have to go out there and do your job, Strasburg said of the early offense. I try and be aggressive every time.Murphy raised his NL-leading batting average to .355 before exiting the game in the top of the fifth inning after he doubled in a run. Murphy was back in the Nationals starting lineup for the first time since last Friday, when he left due to hamstring tightness.Manager Dusty Baker said Murphy had to do a lot of running, so he took him out with game well in hand.He scored from first, then he had to run on the double, then he scored from second, Baker said. So that was enough running for the night. Were trying to keep him for the remainder of the season.Murphy seemed to understand.I do what the skipper says, Murphy said. Less second-guessing that way.Rendon had two hits and is batting .333 with 12 RBI and four doubles since July 16. Wilson Ramos also had three hits and two RBI, and Bryce Harper scored three runs.Arizona starter Archie Bradley (4-7) was roughed up for eight runs and 12 hits in 3 1/3 innings, his shortest outing of the season.The Nationals jumped on Bradley in the first inning, loading the bases with a one-out infield single by Jayson Werth and walks to Harper and Murphy. Rendon followed with a sacrifice fly, and Ramos, Clint Robinson and Danny Espinosa had RBI singles to make it 4-0.Werth reached base for the 34th straight game.That was just a head-scratcher, Bradley said. You really toss that one out the window and move on. It was one of those outings you can get too deep and overthink it in what went wrong and why, and then just end up losing your mind.The Diamondbacks run caame in the bottom of the inning.dddddddddddd Jean Segura led off with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice and scored on Paul Goldschmidts grounder.Rendon had a two-run double in the second to push the Nationals lead to 6-1. Washington scored three runs in the fifth and five in the eighth.New Washington closer Mark Melancon, acquired from Pittsburgh in the days leading up to Mondays trade deadline, made his Nationals debut in a mop-up role, pitching a scoreless ninth inning.Same stuff we saw on the other side, Baker said of Melancon. We know he throws strikes, we know hes tough to hit.DIAMONDBACKS STAND PAT ON DEADLINE DAYArizona made a couple of deals before Mondays deadline, but nothing on the final day although contending teams expressed some to a lot of interest in young pitchers, according to chief baseball officer Tony La Russa. The problem was that everyone they were interested in were guys we wanted to keep, La Russa said. There wasnt anything that was close to making sense based on how we evaluate our club.La Russa said over the rest of the season, hed like to see how the players respond to the adversity of a losing record. Arizona is 43-63 after Mondays loss. To me, the most pressing issue is the spirit and the toughness not to give into our record, he said.TRAINERS ROOMNationals: INF Ryan Zimmerman has a sore wrist and is day-to-day after X-rays didnt reveal anything broken.Diamondbacks: RHP Zack Greinke will pitch for Triple-A Reno in Salt Lake City on Wednesday as he continues to move toward a return from a left oblique strain. ...
