PHILADELPHIA -- Roman Quinn flashed some needed spark and speed near the top of Philadelphias lineup.Quinn had two hits, two RBI, a stolen base and made a big impression in his second major league game, leading the Phillies to a 6-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night.A day after he was promoted to the big leagues, Quinn hit second and played right field in his second straight start. Quinn, an accomplished base stealer and the Phillies second-round draft pick in 2011, could be a fixture in the outfield next season.With the Phillies long out of contention, manager Pete Mackanin is likely to take a long look in September at a player who could become a starter in 2017 when they hope to inch toward contention.Quinn doubled in the second and sixth innings to help the Phillies snap a seven-game home losing streak.I strained my oblique in June and didnt think I was going to get a call-up at all, he said. I just had good people around me. My parents helped me a lot and my fiance helped me a lot, too. They helped me keep my confidence and they encouraged me a lot.Quinns two-run double in the second one-hopped the wall as part of a five-run inning that made it a short night for Pirates starter Gerrit Cole (7-10).The 26-year-old Cole allowed five runs in two innings in his first start off the disabled list. He was sidelined with elbow inflammation and hoped his return could boost a Pirates team that is all but out of the NL wild-card race.I know hes not pleased with the result, and with the preparation he put into tonight, its understandable, manager Clint Hurdle said.Cole threw 29 of his 55 pitches for strikes -- and two of his Ks were against Ryan Howard.Once one of the most feared hitters in baseball, Howard is limping toward the finish line of his final season with the Phillies. He entered hitting .195 and each hitless game puts even a measly .200 average out of reach.Howards failure this season put pressure on others around him to produce, notably Maikel Franco. Franco was fantastic in 80 games last season and showed just enough (14 homers, .280) at the plate to show he could be the third baseman of the future.He still might be, but a .247 average and 22 homers in 133 games showed he felt the pressure of trying to handle Howards role as the slugger in the middle of the lineup.In his mind, hes the guy and hes trying to do too much damage, Mackanin said. He tried to take on too much of a role.Phillies centerfielder Odubel Herrera also has slumped in the second half -- the All-Star saw an average that reached .319 through 51 games dip to .275 on Monday.Its one more reason the Phillies want to play Quinn in September. He had his first career stolen base (he stole 31 for Double-A Reading) in the first inning to ignite his night.Its a nice feeling to have that kind of speed up front, Mackanin said. I dont want to get carried away but it was nice to see.Mackanin said Herrera would stay in center for the rest of the season. He would make a decision on where the outfielders play in spring training.Well look at the whole picture at the end of the season and, in the spring, well make the decision and see what we got, Mackanin said. Well see what makes the most sense. Id like to see (Quinn) at all three positions.Jeremy Hellickson (11-9) struck out six and allowed an unearned run over 6 1/3 innings for the win. Freddy Galvis hit his 18th homer of the season.NI-K-ASIOPirates reliever Juan Nicasio struck out five in two scoreless innings. He has at least one strikeout in 26 straight appearances.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: 2B Josh Harrison will likely miss the rest of the season with a strained right groin. Harrison was injured Saturday after legging out a two-run double. In 131 games this season, Harrison is hitting .283 with four home runs and 19 stolen bases.Harrison was expected to miss four to six weeks, which would cost him the rest of the season. But he hoped he could return if the sub.-500 Pirates made the postseason.Theres still a chance if we make a run, you may see me back if we somehow find our way, he said.UP NEXT:Pirates: RHP Ivan Nova (5-0, 2.53 ERA) pitches Tuesday night in the second game of the series. He has 32 strikeouts and walked only two in his first seven starts for the Pirates since he was acquired from the New York Yankees on Aug. 1. He tossed a complete game against the Reds in his last start.Phillies: RHP Alec Asher (1-0) makes his second start of the season in his return from an 80-game suspension for performance enhancing drugs. Asher tossed six scoreless innings in a win against the Nationals. The Phillies acquired Asher last year from Texas in the Cole Hamels deal. Auston Trusty Jersey . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. Stitched USA Soccer Jerseys . Only three players drafted by NHL clubs were included on the Czech selection camp roster on Wednesday. Those players were Dallas Stars 2012 first-rounder Radek Faksa, Winnipeg Jets 2013 fourth-rounder Jan Kostalek and Phoenix Coyotes 2012 seventh-rounder Marek Langhamer. https://www.cheapusasoccer.com/721j-deandre-yedlin-jersey-usa.html . The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast. Russell Canouse Jersey . Booth picked up 65 caps after making her national team debut in 2002 at the age of 17. She most recently played for Sky Blue FC of the National Womens Soccer League. "It just felt like it was my time to move on," she said in a phone interview from her hometown of Burlington, Ont. Marlon Fossey Jersey . Fernandez, coached in Toronto by former two-time Olympic silver medallist Brian Orser, scored 267.11 points and is the first champion to successfully defend since Russias Evgeny Plushenko in 2005 and 2006.The best personnel play on the best teams and after four weeks of football it is pretty easy to accurately diagnose who has the highest quality roster. 1. Saskatchewan RoughridersWhen you beat a team 37 to 0 you really make a statement of how good you are right now. That is what happened Sunday night in Regina and when the Riders play Hamilton again on Saturday it will probably happen again. Not necessarily 37 to 0 but as long as the Riders stay humble they could be 5-0 heading into the Bye week. There are many good stories of players playing well but how about Rob Bagg as a receiver and his two big-time touchdown pass receptions? When a player has an ACL injury it is a career threatening situation. Rob Bagg had two and what is so unique is he had one on each knee. The fact that the Riders did not give up on him says a lot about an organization that is on top of its game. 2. BC LionsYou knew the Lions would start winning and beating the Eskimos for the second time in two weeks brings them to 3-1 with extended time to get ready for the Argonauts. The Lions are an example of the "continuity wins" attitude. They draft players and sign players and keep them for their best years. And yes, they get rid of them pretty quick when their best years are behind them. Matt Norman at center and Kirby Fabien at guard have been the two most pleasant surprises so far this season and really the only surprises. Every other position has a status of experience and ability and after a tough start in Calgary the BC Lions are back as a West contender. 3. Calgary StampedersI think the best example of excellence in personnel management is the story of Brad Sinopoli, former quarterback and now effective receiver. Most of the time when a player can crack a starting roster at his original position, thats it. Not much of a future. You have to give compliments and credit to the organization for recognition of the possibility of an effective change and for Sinopoli himself for humbling his own ego and attitude and giving it a shot. It is not realistic to think Brad Sinopoli is going to catch 100 passes over a football season but he gives the Stampeders flexibility in the ratio which is as important to master as any aspect of football. Then how about quarterback Drew Tate, Kevin Glenn and now Bo Levi Mitchell? All three can play and play well and Calgary has the best depth of any team at the most important position. 4. Montreal AlouettesThats right, Montreal. Their 1-3 record is not due to poor players it is due to an offensive staff that has not been able to re-ignite confidence with an entire offence. Montreal will start winning games, it is just a matter of time. But it will be a painful process of development to watch as July turns into August. Their best surprise player, easy, has been their starting free safety Mike Edem out of the University of Calgary. It allowed Montreal to move Kyries Hebert closer to the line of scrimmage and be involved moree play after play.dddddddddddd Montreal will turn this around because they have the players to do it. The next four are all kind of lumped together but I will say... 5. Toronto ArgonautsThe health of Ricky Ray will determine success or failure and from the outside looking in he should be okay as he was able to walk off the field after being hurt during a sack on Friday. Eight new players on defence is a lot to adjust to. Teams often complain if they have two players they need to educate. But logic says it will turn around for success as it did last year. The Argos have two names to watch out for: Janzen Jackson, first-year defensive back and Jamie Robinson first-year cornerback. They play side-by-side and if they develop with Matt Black as a free safety Toronto will continue its winning ways. I still think they need an impact receiver but then again when your quarterback goes 19-of-20 and could have gone 20-of-20 if not for a drop you know where your strength is. Not sure how this season is going to play out in Toronto. Again, I can go three different ways here but I will say... 6. Edmonton EskimosMike Reilly. Statistically not very good but he does have moments. The two offensive tackles are key - Thaddeus Coleman on the left and Cliff Louis on the right. If they can develop into solid players they will help the quarterback situation more than anything else. Both have immensity and fluidity at 68" and 300+ lbs. but have to become "every down" performers. I think Edmontons best games will be in September and October and I hate saying this but July and August is a giant experiment. Edmonton is not a bad team, more of a complete unknown in many positions, starting at quarterback. 7. Hamilton Tiger-CatsThe biggest surprise for me has been Greg Ellingson. Nothing spectacular but very sound. 63", 197 lbs with a nice arm length, Ellingson can do this for years to come if he so desires. He is a great example of a guy who fits. Fits the league and style of play. Hamilton needs a cover linebacker and although improving a dominant pass rushing defensive end. But in what always makes football so interesting for me, they are not that far off. Most interesting player to me? Cornerback Raymond Brown. Big 63" cornerback from a good Kansas program and if he can be that big "match-up on the tallest receiver" player, its a definite step forward for the Ticats. 8. Winnipeg Blue BombersTough time. The need to stay healthy is so important because as starters the Bombers can compete with anybody but the depth is not there. There are 13 players on the injured reserve list for Winnipeg. Thirteen, and it is only Week 5. Without these names: Poblah, Matthews, Garrett, Douglas, Watson, Gilmore, Turner, Parker and my favourite left tackle, Tyson Pencer. If the Bombers had these players back they could best any given team on any given day. But without them it will be a long season at Investors Group Field. ' ' '
