Timani has done absolutely nothing wrong

DENVER -- Rockies catcher Tony Wolters knew pitcher Tyler Anderson could grind through an outing without his best stuff.He was more amazed with the 26-year-olds power at the plate.Anderson homered and earned his first big league win as Colorado beat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-3 Saturday night.I didnt think that thing was a home run, Wolters laughed. I didnt know he had muscles like that.Anderson (1-3) allowed two runs in six innings and struck out six. He singled for his first big league hit and homered for his second.Pretty nice night, eh?Its not something to dwell on but something to remember for sure, Anderson said.Wolters hit his first career triple, driving in three runs in Colorados six-run sixth that gave it an 8-2 lead.Jordan Lyles allowed one run in three innings for his second career save.The Rockies have won two of the first three in a four-game set against the Phillies prior to the All-Star break.The whole chain of events was huge tonight, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said.Jerad Eickhoff (6-10) was rolling before Anderson hit a two-run shot inside the right foul pole in the fifth to tie the score at 2-2. It was the first home run by a Rockies pitcher since Kyle Kendrick on September 7, 2015, at San Diego.You never take a hitter for granted whether its a pitcher or not, Eickhoff said. He just got it.Carlos Gonzalezs RBI grounder in the sixth put the Rockies ahead. Mark Reynolds drove in a run with a bases-loaded walk, Wolters followed with his three-run triple and Brandon Barnes added an RBI double to give Colorado a six-run lead.Tommy Joseph had his first four-hit game for Philadelphia. The 24-year-old first baseman picked up where he left off Friday and drove a 1-2 cutter off Anderson into the left field seats in the second. It was Josephs 11th home run of the year and came a night after his pinch-hit, three-run shot fueled a 5-3 win over Colorado.Joseph followed it up with a double off the right-field wall in the fourth and scored on Carlos Ruizs single to make it 2-0. He later scored on Ruizs groundout in the eighth.It would have been better in a win, Joseph said.Eickhoff allowed eight runs in 5 1/3 innings. The Phillies lost for just the third time in 11 games.NOLA THROWS SIMULATED GAMEPhiladelphia manager Pete Mackanin said RHP Aaron Nola looked good while throwing two innings of a simulated game Saturday. The 23-year-old posted a 13.50 ERA in his previous five starts before the Phillies decided to skip his scheduled start Thursday.Nola is expected to return to the rotation on July 18 against the Marlins.CARGO TO START ALL-STAR GAMEGonzalez and Miamis Marcell Ozuna will replace the Mets Yoenis Cespedes and the Cubs Dexter Fowler in the NL starting lineupTuesday.It will be Gonzalezs third time starting an All-Star game.TRAINERS ROOMPhillies: OF Odubel Herrera was given the day off after he fouled a pitch off his foot late in Fridays 5-3 win.Rockies: RHP Jon Gray (ankle) will not go on the disabled list after hurting his left ankle running on the bases late Friday. Gray stayed in the game and went 6 1/3 innings, but Rockies manager Walt Weiss thought the ankle did affect his pitcher near the end of his outing. As far as the ankle I think that is part of the reason you started seeing more effort in the delivery, Weiss said. ... RHP Christian Bergman (left oblique) was reinstated from the 15-day disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque. ... OF Gerardo Parra (ankle) is running and will start adding baseball activity soon.UP NEXTPhillies: Zach Eflin (1-2, 4.30 ERA) dazzled in a complete-game effortTuesday against Atlanta, allowing one run on only 92 pitches for his first big league win.Rockies: Tyler Chatwood (8-4, 3.08 ERA) went five innings and allowed two runs against the Giants on Tuesday in his first start since coming off the disabled list with a strained back.

The Wallabies have called on the versatile Dean Mumm to combat Irelands formidable lineout, as Michael Cheika reverts to his strongest line-up for this weekends dangerous grand slam hurdle.Mumm will line up at No.6, moving star flanker David Pocock to No.8 and Lopeti Timani to the bench for Saturdays Test at the Aviva Stadium, in the only tactical change from the starting line-up who narrowly edged Scotland a fortnight ago.Rob Simmons retains his spot in the side who toppled France last weekend, forming a lock partnership with Rory Arnold.Australia expect the lineout to be crucial to the outcome of the game, meaning a big role for captain and hooker Stephen Moore - who on Saturday becomes the equal-second-most-capped Wallaby, when he joins Adam Ashley-Cooper and Nathan Sharpe with a 116th cap.A fortnight after saying Timani was becoming undroppable, Cheika has done just that - admitting the task of nullifying Irelands experienced locking duo of Donnacha Ryan and Devin Toner was too important.Timani has done absolutely nothing wrong, Cheika stressed.We want to focus a little bit more on our lineout this week and the threat that Ireland might pose there - theyre very good in that area.Dean brings a lot of experience and quality in that area - but then well probably lose a bit of Lopetis ball carrying too.Its six of one, half a dozen of the other but we decided that was probably an important thing for this game and thats how well run.In all, six players - Simmoons, Pocock, halfback Will Genia, centre Tevita Kuridrani, five-eighth Bernard Foley and winger Henry Speight - have retained their spots from the narrow win in Paris.dddddddddddd.The remaining nine spots have been returned to players who were left out of the match-day squad or came off the bench, in an attempt to lessen their workload on a long tour.The likes of Foley, who has started all 13 of Australias Test matches in 2016 and shouldered a heavy workload since the World Cup, and Pocock were given lighter weeks at training in preparation for Saturdays match.In a shake-up to the bench, Will Skelton drops out - and will instead play for the Wallaby XV against the French Barbarians in Bordeaux on Thursday (Friday morning AEDT), along with fellow squad members Tom Robertson, Scott Fardy, Nick Frisby and Kyle Godwin.Playmaker Quade Cooper has been named on the bench after an ankle injury had forced him out of the France fixture.WALLABIES TEAM TO FACE IRELAND:Israel Folau; Dane Haylett-Petty, Tevita Kuridrani, Reece Hodge, Henry Speight; Bernard Foley, Will Genia; David Pocock, Michael Hooper, Dean Mumm; Rob Simmons, Rory Arnold; Sekope Kepu, Stephen Moore (capt), Scott Sio. Reserves: Tolu Latu, James Slipper, Allan Alaalatoa, Kane Douglas, Lopeti Timani, Sean McMahon, Nick Phipps, Quade Cooper, Sefanaia Naivalu (one to be omitted). ' ' '
