Afghanistan 283 for 4 in 47.2 overs (Rahmat 100*, Najibullah 89*, Wheal 2-51) v Scotland Match abandoned Scorecard and ball-by-ball details Scotlands first ODI at home in more than two years ended in frustrating fashion, with the first game of the two-match series against Afghanistan finishing in a no result. Yet the partisan Afghanistan crowd got their moneys worth - and a steal it was for the ￡10 charged at the gate - before play was abandoned with Afghanistan at 283 for 4 in 47.2 overs, courtesy Rahmat Shahs maiden ODI ton and a career-best 89 not out from Najibullah Zadran.The visitors kicked off their seven-match European ODI tour in menacing fashion, Rahmat and Najibullah producing a record fifth-wicket partnership for Afghanistan in ODIs. They added an unbroken 157 - the fourth best for any wicket in ODIs for Afghanistan - after coming together at 126 for 4 in the 31st over.While Rahmat ended the day ahead of Najibullah in the runs column, the 23-year-old left-hander evoked a more emotional response from the vocal Afghanistan supporters in the crowd, with chants of Na-jib! Na-Jib! Na-Jib! growing louder after each six.Rahmat was on 40 before Najibullah faced his first ball, and the frenetic rollercoaster ride began three balls into the 32nd over, when an edged drive off Alasdair Evans barely eluded the reach of wicketkeeper Matthew Cross for the first of Najibullahs nine fours. His second boundary in the following over, a Brad Wheal half-tracker creamed over midwicket, was a portent of what was to come.After Rahmat brought up his fifty off 88 balls with back-to-back pulled fours, Rahmat turned the steering wheel to Najibullah, who flashed two more boundaries, before rain stopped play for the first time with the score at 180 for 4 in 39 overs. A 100-minute break ensued with lunch taken early to ensure no overs were deducted.Upon resumption, Rahmat briefly became the aggressor with four more boundaries before Najibullah took over. He targeted Evans midway through the 42nd and a booming drive over mid-off was the first of five sixes. A single off Wheal in the 43rd brought up his fifty in 35 balls before he smashed two sixes off debutant Ruaidhri Smith over mid-off in the 44th over. Najib then shifted his focus to the midwicket fence in the 46th, hammering a free-hit from Safyaan Sharif into the practice nets before Evans was heaved over the same region to end the 47th.Amid the fireworks supplied by Najibullah, Rahmat inconspicuously made his way to 99 for the start of the 48th and a single took him to three figures in 123 balls.Najibullah was on 87 off 52 balls and with 17 balls remaining in the innings, he looked set to break the Afghanistan record for the fastest ODI century, jointly held by Karim Sadiq against Netherlands and Mohammad Shahzad against Scotland in 72 balls.Rain, however, had returned to impact proceedings, the free-hit in the prior over came after Sharif - struggling to grip the damp ball - bowled a beamer that cleared Najibullahs head by two feet and was desperately knocked down by a leaping Cross to prevent five extras. After Najibullah pushed for two on the second ball of the 48th, the umpires took the players off for good.Scotland had made a reasonable start, after inserting Afghanistan, with Wheal producing extra bounce to clip the shoulder of Noor Ali Zadrans bat as Cross snapped up the chance in the third over to make it 7 for 1. Shahzad survived a strong lbw shout from Evans in the following over, while on 6, and then feasted on the fast bowler for three boundaries in a see-saw eighth over. Evans, however, hit back with a full ball to have Shahzad lbw for 26.Rahmat joined Javed Ahmadi for an assured 53-run stand that was broken when Ahmadi couldnt keep a Sharif yorker out. Captain Asghar Stanikzai made 20 before Wheal beat him for pace with a short ball and had him fluttering a pull to Con de Lange at mid-on. Wheal got carried away with the short-ball strategy against Rahmat and Najibullah, and paid the price with inflated figures of 2 for 51 in nine overs. It was Evans, though, who struggled the most to find a consistent length and was left nursing the most expensive figures of the day - 1 for 73.The two sides return to the Grange on Wednesday, with more promising weather on the horizon, for the second and final match of the series. Afghanistan then depart for Belfast, where they will take on Ireland in a five-match ODI series. Vans Schuhe Schweiz Outlet . Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day.

NEW YORK -- The last time the New York Yankees were four games over .500, they could not sustain it and altered their roster.Now they have a more youthful roster and are in better position in the standings than over two weeks ago.The Yankees can get their fifth straight win on Sunday when they conclude a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium.Before five home runs in Saturdays 8-4 victory, the only other time the Yankees were four over this season was July 26, when they moved to 52-48 following a 6-3 win at Houston.That win came a day after Aroldis Chapman was traded to the Chicago Cubs for three prospects and Adam Warren, and what followed were four straight losses which led to the Yankees dealing Andrew Miller, Carlos Beltran and Ivan Nova for seven more prospects.After getting to four over the first time, the Yankees were 6 1/2 games out of first place and four games out in the wild card race.Since the non-waiver trade deadline, Gary Sanchez has been added along with Tyler Austin and Aaron Judge, and the Yankees have won eight of their last 12 games to get slightly closer in the wild card race.Ive seen our team be much looser, general manager Brian Cashman said Saturday. It seems to be more exciting. Were obviously still in this thing, which is tremendous.Since July 26, eight players who were on the active roster are no longer with the team. Other than the traded players, the most notable is Alex Rodriguez, who was officially released on Saturday after his emotional final game for the Yankees on Friday.Among the newcomers are Austin and Judge, who became the first set of teammates to homer in their first career at-bats during the second inning Saturday.Austin started at first base and homered on the fifth pitch he saw, while Judge was the starting right fielder and homered on the fourth pitch he saw.You cant draw it up any better when you call up two young players, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.The Rays have lost eight of 12 games since sweeping the Yankees two weekends ago in Tampa Bay.Brad Miller homered twice for the Rays and is batting .350 (21-for-60) with seven home runs and 15 RBBI in his last 16 games since July 27.ddddddddddddEvan Longoria also had two hits but the rest of the Rays had four hits and struck out nine times on Saturday.Thats kind of what it is, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. It seems like we are running out of steam a little bit towards the back half of our lineup.Another key to the Yankee attempts to get younger will be on the mound when Luis Severino takes the mound Sunday. A year ago, Severino was two starts into a promising two-month debut but this season has been a struggle on the major league level.Severino was initially demoted Wednesday after struggling through a start Tuesday in Boston, but when Nathan Eovaldi went on the disabled list, the Yankees brought him back to start.This season is a drastic contrast in numbers for Severino on the major and minor league levels as a starting pitcher. He is 0-7 with a 7.78 ERA in eight starts for the Yankees and with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre, he is 7-1 with a 3.25 ERA in 10 starts.Jake Odorrizi has been the ALs best starter since the All-Star break in terms of ERA and looks to continue it Sunday. Before the All-Star break, he was 3-5 with a 4.47 ERA in 19 starts, but in his last five starts he is 3-0 with a 1.13 ERA.Odorizzi has allowed four earned runs in 32 innings since the break and two were Monday in Toronto when he allowed solo home runs to Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion in the first inning during a no-decision.Odorizzi has his worst start since the break as he allowed four runs (two earned) and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings during Tampa Bays 7-5 loss.The right-hander is 4-5 with a 4.23 ERA in 11 career appearances against the Yankees. He is 1-1 with a 1.32 ERA in two starts against New York this season.Odorizzi lost a no-hitter when Starlin Castro hit a two-run home run in the seventh inning May 29 and two months later he threw 6 2/3 innings in Tampa Bays 5-1 win at home.Those starts were at home and Odorizzi has struggled at times in New York, going 1/3 with a 6.00 ERA in six games.
