The stakes will rise soon enough. In the meantime, Sanchez all but clinched the AL ERA title by pitching five scoreless innings Saturday for the Detroit Tigers, but Joaquin Benoit blew a save and they lost to the Miami Marlins 2-1 in 10 innings. Sanchez lowered his ERA from 2.64 to 2.57 to increase a slim lead. Oaklands Bartolo Colon ranks second at 2.65 followed by Seattles Hisashi Iwakuma at 2.66, and both have pitched their final game of the regular season. "Im happy for the ERA title," Sanchez said. "But its not about numbers. Its about getting ready for the playoffs." The AL Central champion Tigers learned Saturday their opponent in next weeks division series will be the Athletics in Oakland beginning Friday. "Theyre very good," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said, "and were very good." "My thoughts are that were going to win," slugger Prince Fielder said. "Obviously theyre a great team or they wouldnt be in this position. Its going to be tough, but of course I think my team is better."

Hell be held out of the starting lineup in Sundays finale, but his first series in Miami since being traded by the Marlins in 2007 has been a box-office success. The crowd of 28,750 was the largest since the Marlins home opener in April. Detroit took a 1-0 lead into the ninth before the Marlins rallied against Benoit. He blew a save for only the second time in 26 chances this year, which prevented Sanchez from earning his 15th victory. "If its going to happen, it had better happen now and not in the post-season," Benoit said. "Better to get it over with. But its still not a good thing to go through." "He just wasnt sharp," Leyland said. "I have no concerns about him whatsoever." Ed Lucas singled home the tying run with two outs in the ninth, and Benoit loaded the bases before he got out of the inning after throwing 31 pitches. With a runner at second in the 10th inning, Miamis Donovan Solano took a 95-mph fastball from Evan Reed off his helmet. The sound could be heard in the upper deck as the helmet flew off, and Solano slowly went to one knee, but then walked off the field. After the game, Solano said he was OK. "I felt the hit but I feel normal now," he said. "It got the helmet." Reed (0-1) loaded the bases with a walk, and with one out Giancarlo Stanton hit a winning RBI single. Sanchez allowed two hits, walked none and struck out eight to finish with 202 strikeouts. He faced the Marlins for the first time after spending the first 6 1/2 seasons of his career with them. "The first day I got here, a lot of memories went through my mind," he said. "I didnt try to do something special. I just went to the mound to do my job, throw strikes and get ready for the playoffs." Miamis Nathan Eovaldi, plagued by poor run support all season, allowed one run in six innings. He finished with a 3.39 ERA. "Im happy with the outing," he said. "I feel like I finished on a good note this year. I made my pitches when I needed to." Steve Cishek (4-6) pitched a hitless 10th. Jhonny Peralta, who returned Friday from a 50-game suspension, went 2 for 5 for the Tigers. They went 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position, stranded 10 runners and grounded into two double plays. Sanchez retired his first nine batters. He escaped a two-on jam in the fourth when Stanton grounded into an inning-ending double play, then finished with flourish, striking out the side in the fifth. Detroit scored its run in the fourth when Fielder led off with a walk, took third on a single by Peralta and came home on Alex Avilas sacrifice fly. Eovaldi saved a run when he caught Fielders comebacker with two on to end the fifth. Fielder lined the ball sharply into Eovaldis glove, then flipped away his bat in disgust at his bad luck. "If the ball had GPS on it," Fielder said, "everybody would hit .400."

GQ Lundqvist quite well.Three rounds, and nearly two months later, will the Kings have the strength to reach the summit of the Empire State to claim the cup?Truer words have never been spoken.Danny Manning grew up watching Wake Forest play games at the Greensboro Coliseum, memories that linger in his mind all these years later. He never thought one day hed coach the Demon Deacons. Manning, the former Kansas star who spent the past two seasons coaching Tulsa, was hired Friday as Wake Forests basketball coach. Hell be introduced at a news conference next week on campus in Winston-Salem, N.C., a short drive from where Manning grew up. "I spent a lot of my formative childhood years in North Carolina," Manning told The Associated Press on Friday at AT&T Stadium, the site of this weekends Final Four. "I spent the majority of my life in Kansas," Manning said, "but this was a chance to be a part of a university that I share the same values and history with." His hiring ends Wake Forests two-week search for a replacement for Jeff Bzdelik, who resigned under intense public pressure following four mostly unremarkable seasons. Manning, who was 38-29 with two post-season berths in two seasons at Tulsa, interviewed this week and toured the campus in Winston-Salem on Wednesday before taking the job two days later. His hiring is considered somewhat risky because of his lack of head coaching experience, but theres no question he brings instant name recognition to a program that dropped to near the bottom of the expanded Atlantic Coast Conference. "There have been very few players who have had as much success on the court as Danny," Wake Forest athletic director Ron Wellman said in a statement. "He has played for and worked under a number of legendary coaches and he has been successful in his coaching career. We fully expect that Dannys coaching career will reflect the excellence of his playing career." Manning attended Greensboro Page High School before his family moved to Lawrence, Kan., for his senior year, and when it was time to choose a college, he picked Kansas over North Carolina. After his "Danny and the Miracles" team won the national title in Kansas City, not far from the Jayhawks campus, Manning was drafted first overall by the Los Angeles Clippers in 1988. He made two All-Star teams during a career maarred by injuries before joining coach Bill Selfs staff at Kansas in 2003. Shoes UK Online Cheap. Responsible primarily for working with post players, Manning was promoted to assistant coach in 2006 and two years ago earned his first head coaching job at Tulsa. Self called Manning "one of the most accomplished, humble people youll ever meet." The 47-year-old Manning took the Golden Hurricane to the CBI in his first year and followed that by guiding them to the Conference USA tournament title and their first NCAA tournament berth since 2003. They earned a No. 13 seed and lost to UCLA in their tournament opener. Tulsa forward Rashad Smith said he found out about Mannings move through teammates and media reports, though he said the coach texted him shortly thereafter. Guard James Woodard said it was "kind of shocking. "You know in the back of your mind, the run we had this year, there would be a lot of opportunities out there," Woodard said. "Im happy for him." Wake Forest never came close to making the NCAA tournament under Bzdelik, who stepped down March 20. Bzdelik went 51-76 with a 17-51 record in ACC play, and won only two league road games. Eight players transferred out during his tenure, and the Demon Deacons have been one of the youngest programs in the country -- with only one fourth-year senior in each of the past two years. Barring any more transfers, Manning will inherit a team with eight players who are either juniors or redshirt juniors -- including promising big man Devin Thomas and tempo-setting guard Codi Miller-McIntyre. As details of Mannings hiring trickled across Twitter, Miller-McIntyre tweeted: "Finally its over! Time to get back to work." Manning called the Demon Deacons a "sleeping giant," one that he believes will be able to contend with Tobacco Road rivals Duke and North Carolina in the near future. "A few years back, they were ranked No. 1 in the country," Manning told AP. "Theyve had great players. Youre about Chris Paul, Tim Duncan, just to name a few, because theyve had quite a few. "Im looking forward to going there and being part of that great tradition." ' ' '
