All-Star Break. Youve got to get pain-free before he can move t

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Tim Tebow may have had his best day as a New York Mets prospect.The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL quarterback had two hits, scored a run and ended a three-inning game with a sliding grab Tuesday in his final tuneup before his instructional league debut. He is to play Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals instructional club.I feel like every day Im getting a little more comfortable, said Tebow, who singled in his last two at-bats of the simulated game. Its great just to see live pitching and get live at-bats. Im just getting a little bit better every day. Thats the goal.The first week of camp had more the feel of a circus. Tebow, the first sophomore to win the Heisman, was on display with new teammates, new surroundings and playing a sport he had not competed in since high school.His work last week with the instructional staff paid dividends Tuesday. Facing highly regarded Mets prospect Marcos Molina, Tebow struck out swinging on four pitches in the first inning.In the second, he looped a single to shallow center, the ball barely eluding diving shortstop Hansel Moreno, delighting the couple of hundred fans on hand. While attempting to steal, Tebow scored when the ball was batted into play and Moreno committed a throwing error on a force play at second.Tebow followed in the third inning with a sharp single through the left side on a 93 mph fastball from Cameron Planck.I just tried to take it where it was pitched, he said.Tebow played left field, and in the second inning charged hard on Morenos fly but failed to get close enough as the ball landed foul.I honestly try to (go after) everything pretty hard and try to stay intense. Hopefully, thats something I can bring to this game and these young kids, he said. Everything you do, just do it with an intense amount of focus and effort.On the games final out, a drive in the gap, he backhanded the ball for his second putout of the day.You try to get on your horse and go run it down and do what you can do to make the catch, he said.As for his professional debut, Tebow wants to keep things simple.You prepare for it the same way you prepared for today, he said. You dont want to change anything. You dont want a game day to be any bigger than any other day. Consistency is the key. Just make the next day a little bit better.Wednesday will be different -- a full game against pitchers he hasnt seen.It will be fun to suit and get to play a different team and compete, Tebow said. But I think weve been competing every day. Its one more day and one more opportunity.Shaquille ONeal Celtics Jersey .

He is the first Dodger to begin in Class-A and start a major league game in the same season since Hideo Nomo in 1995.Stewart (0-1) retired the side in order in the first, but the Brewers scored five times on six hits in the second, highlighted by Nieuwenhuis two-run homer and Brauns two-run double. After intentionally walking Jonathan Lucroy to load the bases with two outs, Stewart struck out Chris Carter to end the inning.That was definitely fun that first inning, Stewart said. (It) changed a little bit after that.The 24-year-old right-hander regrouped and held the Brewers scoreless for the next three innings. He struck out seven and walked two, throwing 95 pitches.I kind of let it get to me, and left some balls up, Stewart said. They dont miss them here, apparently. Tough inning, but, you know what, I was glad I was able to settle down after that.Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was pleased with Brocks effort which may have earned him another start.Regardless, its exciting for Brock, Roberts said. The first inning was clean, electric stuff. You start the second inning with a couple seeing-eye singles. He leaves a fastball out over to Nieuwenhuis for the homer. Two outs and there was hit by the pitch and a walk and then a double by Braun. It happened pretty quickly ... but he got through five innings. Its a tough stage, but I thought he handled himself well.Stewart last pitched June 24 in the Pacific Coast League when he beat Triple-A Round Rock 8-2, allowing two runs and five hits in six innings. He struck 10 and walked one.Brauns two-run homer off Chris Hatcher in the seventh inning gave Guerra some extra cushion, but the 31-year-old rookie right-hander didnt need it.Yasiel Puig ran into the wall trying to track Brauns home run in the seventh. Hobbling a bit, Puig stayed in the game until running out a grounder to short in the top of the eighth. He came out after that. Roberts said Puig would be in the lineup for the finale of the three-game series.I am pretty sure that was my best start in the big leagues, Guerra said of his 11th career start. Thankfully, I was able to locate pitches, throw strikes and hellp the team win.ddddddddddddGuerra (5-1) allowed Corey Seagers double in the first and Puigs single in the fifth. After he walked Adrian Gonzalez in the first, Guerra retired 21 of the next 23 batters, striking out seven.GONZALEZ TOSSEDGonzalez was ejected in the fourth after striking out. Walking back to the dugout, he flicked his wrist and apparently said something to third base umpire Dan Bellino who tossed him out of the game. Gonzalez was upset with Bellino for calling a strike on a checked swing one pitch earlier. It was Gonzalezs fifth career ejection in 1,724 games.I didnt say it, Gonzalez said of the checked swing that was called a strike. I gestured it. I didnt say a word. Thats the first time in my career that Ive ever been tossed without saying a word and walking back to the dugout. I dont know where the basis of tossing somebody is there.SAVE THAT BALLAfter Stewart struck out the Brewers leadoff batter Jonathan Villar, catcher A.J. Ellis rolled the ball into the Dodgers dugout where it was safely stowed away.PETERSON UNAVAILABLEDodgers CF Joc Pederson, who crashed into the wall Tuesday night, did not play. Hes better than he was yesterday, Roberts said. Its going to be a two, three-day thing and at that point in time, well make a decision (on a move to the disabled list).KERSHAW UPDATEDodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (11-2, 1.79 ERA) is back in Los Angeles and headed for scans on his sore back. Roberts remained cautiously hopeful that the three-time NL Cy Young winner could make his next scheduled start Friday night at Dodger Stadium against Colorado.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: The Dodgers placed INF/OF Kike Hernandez on the 15-day DL with left rib cage inflammation retroactive to June 28 to make room for Stewart. ... LHP Alex Wood (left posterior elbow soreness) was transferred to the 60-day DL.Brewers: Manager Craig Counsell said that RF Domingo Santana, who is on the 15-day DL with right elbow soreness, would not play before the All-Star Break. Youve got to get pain-free before he can move to the next step, Counsell said.UP NEXTDodgers: RHP Kenta Maeda (6-5, 2.91) is 4-1 with a 2.79 ERA in seven road starts this season. He took a no-decision facing the Brewers June 19 at Dodger Stadium, allowing one run and six hits in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out eight and walked three in the 2-1 win.Brewers: RHP Zach Davies (5-3, 3.74) received a no-decision in his only start against the Dodgers June 17 at Dodger Stadium. He allowed one run and five hits in seven innings and left the game with a 2-1 lead, but the Brewers lost 3-2 in 10 innings. ' ' '
