If the Winnipeg Goldeyes had any chance to catch the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks in the race for first in the American Associations North Division, that chance took a beating on Saturday night. Roddy White Black Jersey . In front of 5,135 spectators (many of them from Winnipeg), the largest crowd of the season at Fargos Newman Outdoor Field, the RedHawks scored 12 runs on 19 hits off three Winnipeg pitchers and blasted the Goldeyes 12-5. Fargo broke open a 2-2 tie in the fourth with a seven-run barrage and pretty much guaranteed that the Goldeyes will need a miracle to catch them. With the loss, Winnipeg has now dropped 10 in a row to Fargo, dating back to last season, and lost its first series in the last six. The Goldeyes, who are 0-8 against the RedHawks this season, fell to 37-35 on the season and are now 7 1/2 games out of first in the North. As well, they are now 5 1/2 games behind Gary in the wild card race. With only 28 games remaining, its going to be quite a challenge to make up lost ground. The game was particularly disturbing for Goldeyes manager Rick Forney. Angered by the work of home plate umpire Anthony Sheets, Forney was tossed in the bottom of the seventh inning. He left his mark on the proceedings, however, by covering home plate with dirt and then tossing his huge wad of chewing gum on top of it. He tossed his hat for good measure. This one started out as a pretty good ball game in front of a crowd that included 713 standing-room ticket buyers. The Goldeyes opened the scoring in the first, as Tyler Graham was hit by a pitch, stole second and scored on a single by Ray Sadler. But Fargo tied it in the bottom of the inning, as Zach Penprase scored on a fielders choice by C.J. Retherford. Tim Alberts hit a solo homer off Goldeyes starter Pete Gehle in the second, but the Fish came back and tied it up in the fourth as Ryan Scoma singled and came around to score on a double by Ray Sadler. But the roof fell in on Gehle and the Goldeyes in the bottom of the fourth, as Fargo scored seven runs on seven hits as the RedHawks sent 11 batters to the plate. Winnipeg scored a couple of runs in the fifth. Graham was hit, stole second, went to third on a ground out and scored on single by Scoma. Later in the inning, after Sadler had walked and advanced to second on the RBI single by Scoma, he scored on single by Casey Haerther. The Fish added another run in the seventh, as Scoma walked, stole second went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice fly by Mazzola, but that was it. Sadler had a good night for the Fish, going two-for-four with a walk, a run scored and an RBI. Scoma went two-for-four with a walk, a stolen base, a run scored and an RBI. Luis Alen had a single and a double in four trips, as the Fish pounded out nine hits. Fargo starter Paul Burnside (6-5, 5.80 ERA) got the win, while Gehle, (4-5, 4.84 ERA)) who allowed eight earned runs on 10 hits in just 3.2 innings, took the loss. Osi Umenyiora Red Jersey . Kyrie Irving scored 22 points and the Cavaliers won their sixth straight game, 101-93 over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. Julio Jones Black Jersey . -- Reginas Mark McMorris is taking home a silver medal and a fractured rib from Saturdays slopestyle event at the Winter X Games.BALTIMORE -- Even with first baseman Chris Davis apparently on his way back from the disabled list any day for the Baltimore Orioles, Steve Pearce, his replacement, has made his case to remain in the lineup. Pearce and Manny Machado homered and the Orioles won a season-high fourth consecutive game, 4-3 over the Houston Astros on Friday night. Baltimore (19-14) is five games over .500 for the first time this season. Meanwhile, the Astros have lost six of their past seven games. Pearce, who re-signed with the Orioles just two days after being released April 27, hit his third homer in four games. He homered in consecutive games for the first time in his eight-year major league career and has three this season. "I just want to keep doing what Im doing," said Pearce, who is batting .300 (10-for-30) with three homers, six RBI and five runs since replacing Davis over the past nine games. "I think they know what I can do. Hopefully, I can stay around for a little longer this time." Orioles starter Wei-Yin Chen (4-2) had another effective outing, allowing two runs and five hits with four strikeouts and one walk and he tied a season-high by going seven innings. Machado hit his first home run of the season since returning from off-season knee surgery on May 1. Orioles outfielder Nick Markakis went 3 for 4 with an RBI and extended his hitting streak to 16 games. "Someone announced he had a 16-game hitting streak," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said about Markakis. "I didnt know that. I bet he doesnt know, either. Hes healthy. Strong. He worked real hard this off-season for the first time that he was able to in a long time." Chris Carter hit his fifth home run of the season for the Astros. Houston right-hander Scott Feldman made his first start since going on the disabled list April 21 with right biceps tendinitis and was facing his former team. Feldman, who went 5-6 as a starter for the Orioles last season, allowed two runs and five hits with six strikeouts over six innings. He gave up a home run for the first time in five starts this season. "I definitely felt like I could throw all my pitches," Feldman said. "I was throwing more free and easy. It was a good feeling, in that regard. It wouldve been a nice one to win. They just got the best of us tonight." With tthe game tied at 2, the Orioles J. Matt Bryant Red Jersey. J. Hardy led off the seventh with a double to centre. Astros righty Jerome Williams (1-2) got the next two batters to ground out before allowing an RBI single to Jonathan Schoop. Markakis followed with a double to centre that made it 4-2. "I thought I battled, getting those two ground balls, and then just left that cutter up over the middle," Willams said. "Youve just got to tip your hat to them and try to execute the pitch next time." Dexter Fowler led off the ninth with a double off Orioles closer Tommy Hunter. Marc Krauss walked before Hunter got Carter to hit into a double play, which scored a run. George Springer then struck out to end the game as Hunter picked up his 11th save. Houston fell to 1-20 when scoring three or fewer runs. The Astros opened a 1-0 lead in the second when Matt Dominguez led off with a double and later scored on a sacrifice fly by L.J. Hoes, who was acquired from Baltimore last season. The Orioles, who were coming off a three-game sweep of Tampa Bay, answered in the bottom half of the inning when Pearce and Machado hit solo shots. Carter snapped a 1-for-16 skid when he led off the seventh with a liner to left off Chen that cleared the fence by several rows. The Orioles, however, would rally for the victory in the bottom half of the inning. "In the top of the inning, I allowed a tying home run so I was kind of upset about that," Chen said. "But they had a timely offence and Nick and Schoop had big hits and we were able to get the go-ahead run and got the win. I was happy about that."
