LOS ANGELES -- In the first meeting against his former club, Chase Utley and the Los Angeles Dodgers captured round one of a three-game set.Utley hit one of four Los Angeles home runs Monday in the Dodgers 9-4 victory over Philadelphia. It was the second basemans initial clash with the Phillies since the Dodgers obtained him in a trade last August.Utley spent 13 seasons in Philadelphia, and the 37-year-old veteran sometimes misses playing there.Its the organization that gave me an opportunity to play professional baseball, said Utley, who went 1-for-4 on Monday. I learned a lot from the coaching staff and the players that came through the organization. Those are the things I think about.Corey Seager smashed two home runs, breaking Hanley Ramirezs Los Angeles-era franchise record for home runs by a shortstop in a season, and Yasmani Grandal also went deep. Seager became the eighth rookie in franchise history to hit at least 20 home runs.Most of the Dodgers damage came off rookie right-hander Zach Eflin, who was tagged for five runs in the first inning and seven in three innings overall.It would have been awesome to come here and throw well in Dodger Stadium, but unfortunately you cant always have what you want, said Eflin, who was traded by the Dodgers to the Phillies in 2014 for shortstop Jimmy Rollins. But you just build on it for the next outing.The Phillies hope right-hander Vince Velasquez (8-3, 3.33 ERA) fares much better than Eflin did. Velasquez will face Dodgers right-hander Kenta Maeda (10-7, 3.22 ERA) in the second game of the series Tuesday.Velasquez received no-decisions in three of his past four outings. He struck out six, walked three and gave up two runs on three hits but didnt factor into the decision during a 3-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Thursday.Walks have been an issue for Velasquez in his recent performances. Velasquez has walked 17 and struck out 34 in his last 36 innings. He walked 22 and struck out 80 in his first 66 2/3 innings.In his only career outing against the Dodgers, Velasquez retired both batters he faced in a relief appearance last year.Velasquez will attempt to slow Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, who went 2-for-4 on Monday. Gonzalez has multiple hits in each of his past three games, going 8-for-12 with five runs, a homer and three RBI in that span. He has five multi-hit performances in his past nine games.Also on a roll for the Dodgers is third baseman Justin Turner, who has a nine-game hitting streak.Maeda, who has never faced the Phillies, allowed two runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings in a win over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. Maeda struck out five and walked none.In 11 starts at home this season, Maeda is 3-5 with a 3.17 ERA. He has fanned 69 batters and walked 18, limiting opponents to a .234 batting average.Maedas challenge Tuesday might include facing Phillies catcher Cameron Rupp, who went 2-for-3 with an RBI in the series opener. Rupp has four multi-hit games in his past six contests. He is batting .385 with three home runs and 11 RBI since July 30.Greedy Williams Browns Jersey . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good. Bernie Kosar Jersey .

Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. Sheldrick Redwine Womens Jersey . Brazilian national coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has confirmed that the veteran goalkeeper is set to join Toronto on loan, saying it will help him be ready for the World Cup.Zachary Sneaky Scuderi came to his semifinal postmatch interview holding a pink-colored bag from one of his fans, given to him during the fan signings following the series. He smiled as he stared at the assortment of gifts inside: a few snacks, candy, a handwritten note, and pictures of previous autograph sessions with the rest of his Cloud9 teammates. It was a reminder that, regardless of how long it took to get back to the North American League of Legends Championship Series (NA LCS) finals, C9 and Sneaky always had a loyal fanbase behind them.With the teams narrow victory over the regular seasons second-place squad, Immortals, the two-time champions have made it back to their fifth finals after a yearlong hiatus. Gone is esteemed captain Hai Hai Lam and his sharp shotcalling, but in his place is a team of five that have come together as one to work toward the ultimate goal: the world championship. They might have gone about it differently than they had in the old days, but C9 are just one step away from reaching that goal and a shot at the Summoners Cup.Weve improved an insane amount over the last three weeks, Sneaky told me, sitting down after putting away his gift. [We just improved on] everything: playing together as a team, making sure we can get vision control, not be in the wrong places, figuring out matchups so we can get ideal pick/bans.No one really knew what to expect from C9 at the beginning of the summer split. Although the team finished third in the spring split regular season, everything unraveled in the quarterfinals when the team failed to upend sixth-place Team SoloMid. The team decided to pull the trigger on acquiring former world champion Jung Impact Eon-yeong from NRG Esports while also bringing back William Meteos Hartman to fulfill the starting jungle duties.Were definitely getting closer, said Sneaky on his and the teams relationship with Impact. We have a translator named Robin that translates everything we say so he can really understand what were trying to talk to him about. I think if we didnt have a translator, it would be really hard, and we probably wouldnt be where we are now, just because we couldnt have the same conversations.Saturdays semifinal was a return of the top laner that once lifted the Summoners Cup in 2013 on SK Telecom T1. A selfless player since his early days as a support, Impact has been primarily in the background for large parts of the season while Sneaky and mid laner Nicolaj Jensen Jensen have been the core carries.Against Immortals, however, Impact proved why he was once considered to be possibly the greatest top laner on the planet, completely shutting down Heo Huni Seung-hoon en route to a series victory.dddddddddddd His calm demeanor and intelligent pressure against the offensively gifted but sometimes brazen Huni was the key to neutralizing Immortals greatest strength: its top and jungle combination between Huni and reigning MVP Kim Reignover Yeu-jin.The other major switch in the offseason was bringing back Meteos, and the old superstar jungler of North America rediscovered his swagger over the course of the series. While he was hit-or-miss in the first four games of the set, Meteos came through as the hero in the final climactic game where he outplayed Reignover to push his team to another finals.[Meteos] just really helped push the team forward, said Sneaky. He came back from the break, and I think he realized he really wanted to win. So hes been pushing the team as far as he can. He questions a lot of stuff to make sure that we know matchups. ... He pushed us a lot harder than we did in spring split. [In] spring split, I dont think we were complacent, but I didnt feel any push. It just felt like going into any normal split game versus [Team SoloMid] or something, but this time we practiced really hard, and I think it showed.Meteos has made it to the finals each time he has fully completed a season (this is his fifth). The only two seasons C9 failed to make the NA LCS finals were when they either replaced Meteos in the middle of the season (summer 15) or when he didnt play at all (last split). If TSM can outduel rivals Counter Logic Gaming in the other semifinal later on Sunday, Meteos will face TSM in the finals for the fifth straight time. The current record between the clubs is 2-2.If Sneakys prediction is any indication, Meteos and the rest of C9 will have the opportunity to break the deadlock.I think TSM is going to win, he answered when asked which team he favored in the second semifinal. Pretty sure, Id give it like an 80%. But CLG has pulled through a bunch of random times, like every single time during the finals as of recent. I think the biggest one was last year in summer. I was like, Oh, this is obvious, TSM wins, but CLG 3-0ed and I was like, Huh, thats weird. So I could see them winning, but TSM has been looking stronger for sure across the whole split, and even in scrims CLGs doing a pretty good amount worse than TSM is.CLG, TSM, whoever it is, for Sneaky and Cloud9, it doesnt matter. Regardless of which team meets C9 in the NA LCS Finals in Toronto, the Saturday semifinal confirmed one thing:Cloud9 is back. ' ' '
