SEATTLE -- Mariners manager Scott Servais let young closer Edwin Diaz rest Sunday, and it was an easy call -- Seattle led by three runs, and the Milwaukee Brewers entered 0-59 when trailing after eight innings.Then things got away from Tom Wilhelmsen.Keon Broxton and Chris Carter homered and Scooter Gennett had an RBI single during a four-run ninth inning, lifting the Brewers over the Mariners 7-6 on Sunday to end a six-game skid.I thought we were in a good spot, said Servais, who sat Diaz after the closer threw 34 pitches Friday. Tom Wilhelmsen has given us everything hes got this year, it just wasnt his day. Youve got to give them credit, they didnt quit.The Brewers never even got a lead during the first six games of this road trip and trailed 6-3 after eight innings Sunday but rallied against Wilhelmsen (2-4). Broxton hit his second solo homer of the game and Carter followed with a two-run shot, his 29th, to tie it.It appeared right fielder Shawn OMalley may have made a leaping grab of Carters drive at the wall in right-center.I didnt know if he had the ball or not, Carter said. He jumped and I was kind of running and didnt know if he had it. I was caught in between.After Domingo Santana singled, Vidal Nuno relieved Wilhelmsen and allowed a single to Manny Pina. Gennett then blooped a single into left-center that scored Santana from second.Tyler Thornburg (5-4) pitched the final two innings for the win.Every day is a new day and this is a good win, Counsell said. When youre struggling, and wins seem really tough and you find a way to win a game through some heroics and great performances, you celebrate it for sure.The Brewers, whose 20-41 road record is worst in the majors, trailed 6-1 after four innings. Ryan Braun had a two-run double in the sixth off rookie Ariel Miranda, making his third career start since being acquired from Baltimore for Wade Miley on July 31.The Mariners, who had won eight straight at home, scored three in the third and three in the fourth off Matt Garza (4-6), who was tagged for six runs, five earned, and nine hits in 3 2/3 innings.In the third, Leonys Martin opened with a ground-rule double and Ketel Marte lined an RBI single that just eluded diving shortstop Orlando Arcia. Marte advanced when Garza failed to handle Norichika Aokis chopper to the mound for an error.Seth Smith followed with an RBI single to right to make it 2-0, and Robinson Cano added an RBI groundout.Broxton cut the lead to 3-1 with his fifth home run, a one-out shot in the fourth for the Brewers first hit.Seattle manufactured three more station-to-station runs in the bottom half on a bases-loaded single by Smith, another RBI groundout by Cano and a run-scoring infield single by Nelson Cruz.AOKI HOT SINCE RECALL: After being demoted to Triple-A Tacoma for 16 games, Aoki has regained his hitting stroke. Over the last 16 games, he is hitting .368 with five runs scored and five doubles. He reached safely four times Sunday from the leadoff spot on two singles, a walk and an error, scoring twice.TRAINING ROOMMariners: After a solid rehab start on Saturday at Triple-A Tacoma, LHP James Paxton (left elbow contusion) is expected to rejoin the Mariners rotation and likely to start Thursday at the Chicago White Sox. ...

Haas said he "felt a lot of pain" in his right shoulder when he slammed his racket to the ground in frustration after losing his serve at 3-3 in the first set.RIO DE JANEIRO -- Rival is the wrong word.Giving the United States one almighty scare, as they most certainly just did, should not and does not put Australias Boomers on the same level as Carmelo Anthony & Co.When youre sporting a 71-game winning streak as we speak, like Team USA, you have no real rivals.However ...You can safely draw the following conclusion after the scrappy, stubborn display witnessed in Olympic Park on Wednesday night from the green-and-gold-clad squad led Patty Mills, Matthew Dellavedova and Andrew Bogut:Australia is suddenly closer to the R-word than anyone else in world basketball.Closer than France. Closer than Argentina. Closer, even, than Mike Krzyzewskis old friends from Spain.That sentiment was slammed home in the mixed zone after the game, not by journalists or pundits but by the likes of Kevin Durant, Paul George, Klay Thompson and Krzyzewski himself. The Aussies led by as many as eight points in the first half, stayed within a possession or two until the final minute of Team USAs wholly uncomfortable 98-88 victory and, as you listened to the big names tell it, left the distinct impression that theyll be an obstacle for the Yanks one more time down here.They can go pretty far, Durant said. Im pretty sure well probably run into them again.Said George: Were probably going to see them again. Were going to have to do a better job matching them.And Thompson: Theyre a tough team. Well probably see them again, so that was a lot of fun.And lastly Coach K: You beat one of the best teams in the tournament. You beat a team that could ... they are going to vie for a gold medal.Not even halfway through an event that requires the victorious nation to play eight games, Australia has already been that impressive, earning raves from some of the most esteemed hoops luminaries that have gathered in South America for its toughness, cohesion, chemistry, physicality and, most of all, fearlessness.Once-mighty Spain has shown signs of age and stumbled to an 0-2 start. France was on the brink of falling to 1-2 in Group A before Tony Parkers game-turning bucket earlier Wednesday pulled out a one-point win over Serbia. Getting-up-there Argentina has looked reasonably frisky in the face of lowered expectations, but no one out there comes close to matching what Australia is doing now that Bogut -- who was forced to miss the London Olympics in 2012 thanks to a serious ankle injury -- has joined London holdovers Mills, Dellavedova, Joe Ingles, Aron Baynes and David Andersen.Australia, Krzyzewski said, has probably played the best of anybody in the Olympics.Its true. The Aussies spanked France by 21 points on the tournaments opening day, followed it up with a 15-point victory over Serbia and looked as credible as they ever have against Team USA ... while also making you wonder how dangerous they might have been had they been able to throw a youngster named Ben Simmons at the scalding-hot Anthony as opposed to the clunkier big men at Australiass disposal who dont have the foot speed or agility to keep up with Melo.ddddddddddddIf they had Simmons in this game, one NBA general manager said over the phone after watching the United States finally carve out a 98-88 victory, Australia wins.Yet even without the Philadelphia 76ers dynamic rookie, who wowed summer-league-goers with his passing eye and athleticism, Australia needs just two more wins over lowly Venezuela and China to secure second place in Group A.And that would ensure that Australia, after quarterfinal losses to the United States in Beijing and London by 31 points and 33 points, cant face the Americans again until the gold-medal game on Aug. 21.Andersen, Australias elder statesman, reflected on those prior meetings by saying that the current squad brought a bit more sense of belief onto the floor for this shot at Team USA.Were building something special here, Andersen said.Bogut then explained that the players on the 12-man Olympic roster, in a further departure from the old mentality, made a conscious decision as a collective to aim for the absolute summit of the sport.The Australian media is saying, This is the best thing ever, you battled, were proud of you -- but were disappointed, Bogut said after Wednesdays near-miss. And thats the mindset we have to have. This groups a little different to ones Ive been on in the past, whereas we would have celebrated this loss. And thats just not right. So well work on things and hopefully see them again and battle them the
