The 22-year-old Brown has 18 goals and 11 assists in 51 games for Portland this season. Brown was a second-round draft pick of the Coyotes in 2009. He didnt sign with Phoenix until last year after he finished his college career at Michigan, where he had 34 goals and 46 assists in 125 games. Klinkhammer leads the Pirates this season with 44 points in 52 games. Hes tied for eighth in the AHL in points and leads Portland with 30 assists while ranking third on the team with 14 goals. The 26-year-old Klinkhammer was signed by the Coyotes as a free agent last July after NHL stops in Chicago and Ottawa. <a href="http://www.wholesalenikeelitemall.com/">Wholesale Jerseys china</a>. -- Tiger-Cats coach Marcel Bellefeuille paid the price Wednesday for falling one game short of the Grey Cup. <a href="http://www.wholesalenikeelitemall.com/">nike nfl jerseys wholesale</a>.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Mike Zunino hit his first career home run on a tiebreaking solo shot in the seventh inning and the Seattle Mariners held on for a 3-2 win over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night. Two days after making his big league debut, Zunino connected on a 1-1 pitch from Oakland starter Tommy Milone (6-6) and hit a towering shot to centre field to help snap Oaklands 11-game home winning streak. Raul Ibanez added two hits and an RBI for the Mariners, while Joe Saunders (5-6) allowed five hits over seven innings for his first road victory of the season. Chris Young homered and had three hits but the As, coming off an 18-inning win against the New York Yankees, couldnt get much else going. The Mariners had lost five of eight before beating the division-leading As to begin a seven-game road trip. They did it behind a steady offence -- every starter but Kendrys Morales had at least one hit -- and a stellar effort from Saunders. The Seattle left-hander struck out four and walked two, pitching out of jams in the second, third and seventh. Saunders had been winless in his six previous starts away from Safeco Field and had a 9.00 ERA on the road before handcuffing the As. Danny Farquhar pitched the eighth and allowed Youngs homer, and Oliver Perez worked the ninth for his first career save. Perez was in the closers role after Seattle manager Eric Wedge decided to go with a by-committee approach following Tom Wilhelmsens recent struggles. Seattle took a 1-0 lead in the second when Mike Morse doubled and scored on Zuninos double-play grounder. Morse had been in a 2-for-18 slump. The Mariners defence gave Saunders a lift when Oaklands Nate Freiman was thrown out at home trying to score from second on a single by Derek Norris in the bottom of the second before the As tied it in the fifth.dddddddddddd Adam Rosales reached on a fielders choice grounder and scored when Seattle second baseman Nick Franklin and right fielder Jason Bay bumped into each other chasing Eric Sogards fly ball. Franklin appeared to make the catch but Bays glove hit Franklins and the ball popped out and rolled away as Rosales circled the bases. Sogard was credited with an RBI double. Milone pitched into the seventh but left following Zuninos homer and a two-out throwing error by shortstop Jed Lowrie. He struck out four and walked three. Franklin singled leading off the eighth against As reliever Dan Otero and scored on Ibanezs two-out sharp liner that skipped off Freiman into right field line to make it 3-1. Young, batting in the leadoff spot for the first time this season while Coco Crisp rested his bruised right heel, homered off Farquhar to make it 3-2. Notes: Wilhemsen has a team-leading 16 saves but allowed five earned runs in his last outing on Wednesday. ... Oakland 3B Josh Donaldson was also rested a day after suffering a leg strain. ... The As signed first-round draft pick Billy McKinney. McKinney had committed to TCU before getting selected 24th overall in the draft. ... Otero was called up from Triple-A Sacramento before the game. Oakland optioned LHP Hideki Okajima to the minors to make room. ... The Mariners signed veteran Henry Blanco and designated fellow catcher Kelly Shoppach for assignment. The 41-year-old Blanco, released by the Toronto Blue Jays on June 10, is with his 11th major league team. ... Seattle RHP Felix Hernandez (7-4) takes a 2.49 ERA into Saturdays game. ... RHP A.J. Griffin (5-5), who is winless over his last three starts, goes for the As. ' ' '
