baseman to start a game hitting leadoff since Conor Jackson on April 17, 2

Indias Arjun Maini on Sunday secured a maiden GP3 podium in Budapest, Hungary. He thus became the first Indian racing driver to finish a GP3 race on the podium since the series began in 2010.The free practice session indicated that Maini, who is supported by JK Tyre, had become more comfortable with the car, having spent more time in it since the previous race at Silverstone. He finished 10th with a best lap of 1:33.873. It gave the 19-year-old confidence going into qualifying on Saturday where he secured ninth position with a best lap of 1:33.874 after the session was red-flagged when Steijn Schothorst of Campos Racing stopped unexpectedly on Turn 7, meaning he would start Race 1 ninth on the grid.Race 1 began with Maini quickly moving up to the eighth place, granting him reverse pole for Race 2 if he finished in that position. He managed to hold on to the eighth place finish with a best lap of 1:36.844.Race 2 began with Alexander Albon of ART Grand Prix overtaking Maini in the first corner itself. But Maini managed to hold off competition from Charles Leclerc, Albons teammate and Series leader, who made his way up the grid to challenge him.When the chequered flag dropped, Maini crossed the line in second place.Asked about his first impressions of the car and the series as a whole, Maini said, Its been a great experience with Jenzer. Ive had quite a tough time the last two seasons and coming here Ive already learned a lot. I work with really good people. Ive got to thank my sponsors without whom I wouldnt be here: JK Tyre, TVS and, of course, my parents. Its been a really good experience. I think its a fantastic series for young drivers. You need to be able to adapt quickly here. Jesse Gonzalez Jersey .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. Gyasi Zardes Jersey . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night. http://www.soccerusateamonline.com/Jonathan-Lewis-America-Jersey/ . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. John Brooks Jersey . The judges scored it 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 for Jones (19-1). It was the champions closest call. Despite the loss, it was a remarkable show by the confident Swedish challenger, who had the best of the early rounds and then hung on in the fourth and fifth. Chris Wondolowski Jersey . Thats not a comment on the suspension that banished the Portland Winterhawks general manager and coach from his Western Hockey League teams bench for most of the 2012-13 season. PHOENIX -- In his third game back from a major injury, A.J. Pollock looked like the player he was in 2015.Pollock went 3 for 5 and stole two bases for his first hits and steals of the season after being out with a broken elbow since the end of spring training, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Cincinnati Reds 11-2 on Sunday.Its weird. I never really think about hits but when you have no hits, its nice to get that first one, said Pollock, who hit .315 with 20 home runs, 39 steals and 192 hits last season. I still feel like the games a little fast, but its natural. Im sure it will get better.I was trying to impact the game as many ways as I can, he added.Yasmany Tomas homered, Welington Castillo drove in four runs and Archie Bradley earned his first win in more than a month for Arizona, which totaled 18 hits and rebounded from a blowout loss the previous day.Castillo had two hits, a run-scoring single in the fifth and an RBI double in the eighth, and knocked in runs with a fielders choice grounder and a sacrifice fly.We all know that this team can hit like that, so its just about time, Castillo said. We had plan to go out there and we executed.Bradley (5-8) allowed two runs and five hits with three strikeouts over six innings in his first win since July 27.Tomas delivered a pinch-hit three-run shot in the sixth inning off Reds reliever Ross Ohlendorf, his team-leading 27th of the season. It was the first pinch-hit home run of Tomass career, and 10 of his last 19 hits have been home runs.We hit the ball back up the middle. Great to see A.J. get involved with the bat and baserunning, thats his favorite thing when he gets on those bases, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. (Tomas) wasnt happy about not being in the lineup. Thats what I want. I want him to want to play every day.The Diamondbacks scored four runs in the first off Reds starter Homer Bailey (2-3), all on singles, force outs and an error.Jake Lamb was originally called out at home plate when he attempted to score on Brandon Drurys base hit to center field, on a throw from center fielder Billy Hamilton to catcher Ramon Cabrera.But the Diamondbacks challenged the tag play and umpires overturned the call on video review, ruling Cabrera dropped the ball for an error.ddddddddddddPollock had one of the five singles in the first for Arizona. Pollock, Michael Bourn and Chris Owings had three hits each for Arizona.Bailey was charged with three earned runs and five hits in his only inning.After the game he and manager Bryan Price said Bailey has dealt with recent bicep tenderness.We realized early that Homer didnt have it, Price said. They got four in the first and you try to dig yourself out of the hole and we hit a couple of homers, then we werent able to find the right recipe and gave up seven.The Reds pulled to 4-2 in the second on back-to-back solo home runs from Brandon Phillips and Scott Schebler. For Schebler, it was his third homer in two games.Pollocks two steals and Castillos sacrifice fly gave the Diamondbacks a 5-2 lead in the third.LEADOFF MANPhil Gosselin hit leadoff for Arizona on Sunday, giving star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt a day off. Gosselin had two hits and became the first Diamondbacks first baseman to start a game hitting leadoff since Conor Jackson on April 17, 2010.BIRTHDAY BALLGAMEU.S. Sen.
