WINNIPEG -- Glenn Howard played a game that was memorable for all the wrong reasons at the Canadian curling trials Tuesday night. Tony Perez Jersey . The four-time world champion from Penetanguishene, Ont., allowed 2010 Olympic gold medallist Kevin Martin to score four in the ninth end in a 9-7 come-from-behind victory. "Thats the worse loss of my life, right there," said Howard, 51, whos also won four Briers. The victory lifted Martins record to 4-0, keeping the Edmonton skip as one of only two undefeated rinks at the trials, which will determine Canadas mens and womens teams at next years Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Howards rink drops to 1-3. Reigning Canadian champion Brad Jacobs from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., has also yet to lose a game after he beat Calgarys Kevin Koe 9-4. Koe is at the bottom of the field with a 0-4 record, while hometown favourite Jeff Stoughton is 1-3 following an 11-5 loss to B.C.s John Morris (3-1). Mike McEwen, Manitobas other mens rink, defeated Torontos John Epping 10-7. McEwen improved to 2-2 and Epping is 1-3. "Its just hard out there," Martin said after a game he described as making him feel "spent." "Its a very emotional day, and games. Every one so far, all four, have just been battles to the last inch." Just over 7,430 fans at the MTS Centre witnessed Howards defeat, which the veteran said came at the hands of some unpredictable ice. That was especially true in the ninth end, when Martin scored the deadly four points to move ahead 8-7. "(Second) Brent (Laing) missed a peel and then the ice got unbelievably straight in the last two or three ends," Howard explained. "I threw a real good shot in my last one in nine and for some reason it didnt curl. I have no idea why. "I was happy with the way I let it go and it ends up being six to eight inches too much ice, which is unreal. Why? Why doesnt it curl there?" The killer in Koe and Jacobs game was the eighth end, when Jacobs was sitting four and Koe, the 2010 world champion, had the hammer and missed. The steal of four ended the match. Competitors have said this week its doubtful any team will go undefeated, and Jacobs was still believing that. "Obviously, anybody can beat anyone out there and its happening," said Jacobs, 28, who got his spot in Winnipeg out of the pre-trials event. "Everyone sees it, so real tough to go undefeated. I totally agree with that statement. Its virtually impossible, Id say, but there is a slight chance and right now were undefeated." Stoughton was discouraged after his loss, which included a bad fourth end. He flashed on his first throw and his second hit a Morris rock and then rolled out. That left Jim Cotter a draw to anywhere in the 12-foot for three and a 4-2 lead. Morris is skip, but throws third rocks. Stoughton looked mad at himself and briefly left the ice. He also failed to blank an end and then Morris went up 6-3 with a deuce in the sixth. "We need a lot of help, and thats too bad," said Stoughton, a 2011 world champion whos making his fifth and last try to get to an Olympics. "We had our fate in our own hands playing John because it would have brought everyone down to two losses and (then) youre basically in a playoff spot." George Foster Jersey .

Joe Morgan Jersey . -- The Sacramento Kings have claimed forward Travis Outlaw off waivers under the NBAs new amnesty provision, filling out the frontcourt with another veteran. http://www.redsgearshop.com/Reds-Joey-Votto-Kids-Jersey/ . Hes had three top-10 results this season and feels ready to put it all together and finally hoist a trophy at the top level.NEW YORK -- David Price gave his new team a chance to win. Later, his catcher delivered the deciding stroke. Price struck out 10 in his Detroit debut and was long gone when Alex Avila homered in the 12th inning to lift the Tigers over the New York Yankees 4-3 Tuesday night. "Happy its over and happy we won," Price said. "Finally feel part of the team." Price pitched 8 2-3 innings and left with the score 3-all. The AL Central leaders got Price from Tampa Bay last Thursday in a three-team deal minutes before the trading deadline. The lefty ace got to keep his No. 14 -- centre fielder Austin Jackson, who wore it with the Tigers, was sent to Seattle in the big swap. Price leads the majors in strikeouts (199) and innings (179 1-3). "He really looked exactly like he did in Tampa, except he had the Tiger uniform," manager Brad Ausmus said. Bushy bearded Joba Chamberlain relieved Price, and the crowd booed the formerly clean-shaven Yankees reliever. "I was a little worried about him being amped up, being in New York," Ausmus said. Chamberlain got four outs without permitting a hit. "I didnt know what to expect," he said. "I definitely had to take a couple of deep breaths." The Yankees are in the midst of facing Detroits three Cy Young Award winners. They edged Max Scherzer on Monday, and will next see Justin Verlander on Wednesday night. Avila homered with one out off Matt Daley (0-1). Joakim Soria (2-4) got the win. Joe Nathan earned his 23rd save in 28 tries, retiring Chase Headley on a leadoff drive that was caught at the right-field wall. "Two strikes, you know, youre not taking a full-blown normal swing. But, yeah, I felt I got enough of it that it had a chance. Unfortunately, it came up just short," Headley said. This was the Yankees 16th straight game decided by two or fewer runs, and theyre 9-7 in that span. Its the longest such streak in the majors since a 16-game stretch by Baltimore in 1975, the team said in citing the Elias Sports Bureau. Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter exited wiith a bruised left hand after being hit by a pitch from Dellin Betances in the ninth. Scott Feldman Jersey. Hunter was listed as day-to-day. "You always think the worst," he said, his hand bandaged. "I thought it was broke." Brian McCann and Martin Prado hit solo home runs for the Yankees, who had won three in a row. The Tigers tied it at 3 in the seventh, helped by some smart swinging by Victor Martinez. The cleanup man led off by hitting an easy grounder to the uncovered left side of the Yankees overshifted infield for a single and scored on a two-out single by Avila. Andrew Romine homered in the Detroit sixth. TRAINERS ROOM Tigers: Shortstop Eugenio Suarez didnt play, a day after spraining his left knee while sliding into second base on a steal. Ausmus said theres a chance Suarez could play Wednesday. Yankees: First baseman Mark Teixeira went 0 for 5. He was a late scratch Monday when felt lightheaded. ... Left-hander CC Sabathia says doctors took out a bone chip they found in his knee when they did season-ending surgery last week. Hell soon get a stem-cell injection. He expects to ready for spring training. ON DECK Verlander (10-9, 4.66 ERA) starts against Chris Capuano (1-2, 4.50 ERA). Verlander is 0-2 in five regular-season starts at the new Yankee Stadium. No telling if his special fan will be in the stands -- Verlander flipped a ball to supermodel Kate Upton on Monday night, but she wasnt sitting in her seat behind the Tigers dugout Tuesday. JOBA THE BEARD Yankees manager Joe Girardi got a good look at Chamberlain, saying, "his beard is quite large." Girardi said he asked if Chamberlain ever found anything hidden in the bushy growth and the pitcher told him: "Sometimes, guys try to sneak seeds in there." SPIKED With a runner on second and one out in the seventh, Brendan Ryan hit a soft liner that Kinsler caught. Kinsler pivoted and tried to throw to second for a double play, but slipped and tossed the ball straight into the ground. Fortunately for the Tigers, it went right to first baseman Miguel Cabrera.
