Lancashire 200 for 3 (Brown 62*, Buttler 57) beat Worcestershire 198 (Cox 44, Whiteley 38) by seven wicketsScorecard Jos Buttler overcame a painful blow to his left hand to smash a 20 ball half century as holders Lancashire Lightning boosted their NatWest T20 Blast qualification hopes with a seven wicket win over Worcestershire Rapids at New Road.The England player continued the form which had brought him an unbeaten 73 in the T20I against Sri Lanka at the Ageas Bowl on Tuesday as the Lightning made light work of a 199 target and triumphed with 11 balls to spare.Buttler, overlooked for the first Test against Pakistan next week, had required treatment when keeping wicket after being dealt a sharp blow by a bottom edge from Worcestershire batsman Ben Cox standing up to Luis Reece in the 17th over. He was left ringing his hand for the remainder of the Rapids innings - but showed no signs of any discomfort when he came out to open the Lightning innings.Buttler treated a near full house with a full repetoire of his strokes and was aided by a short boundary on the Cathedral side of the ground.He completed the fastest ever 50 by a Lancashire player in T20 cricket and it contained four sixes and six fours. Buttlers knock was ended on 57 when he was bowled by Kyle Abbott - a distinguished first scalp for his adopted county although he came in for his fair share of harsh treatment during the onslaught.But the damage had been done to the Rapids hopes and Lancashire stood on 98-1 at the end of the six over powerplay. The Rapids must be sick of the sight of Lancashire after being bowled out for 53 - their lowest T20 score - at Emirates Old Trafford two weeks ago.A fourth defeat in their last five matches was a big blow their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals after they had been the early pace-setters in the North Group.After Buttlers dismissal, there was almost a feeling of an anti-climax but the outcome was never in doubt.Alviro Petersen had surveyed Buttlers carnage from the other end but his 34 from 20 balls was effective before he chipped Joe Leach to square leg.Then Karl Browns half century off 34 balls with five fours and a six ensured a smooth passage to victory for the Lightning and he finished unbeaten on 62.Worcestershire were put into bat and Joe Leach was promoted to open, a move which had proved successful when he struck 63 in the recent Royal London One-Day Cup clash with Yorkshire at Headingley.He rode his luck in reaching 14 before Joss Buttler held a steepling catch running back off Nathan Buck. Tom Kohler-Cadmore (18) struck two sixes before he was bowled by Jordan Clark after hitting across the line.Joe Clarke looked in good touch on the day he and Brett DOliveira were named in the England Lions squad for the Tri-Series with Pakistan A and Sri Lanka A.But after making a classy 25 he went for a reverse sweep against Stephen Parry and popped up an easy catch to Buttler. DOliveira (30) holed out to deep mid wicket off Luis Reece and it became 99-5 when Worcestershire skipper Daryl Mitchell (9) was bowled by Steven Croft.The only substantial stand of the innings saw Ben Cox (44) and Ross Whiteley (38) add 77 in five overs. Cox collected five fours and a six in one Parry over and Whiteley smote 20 in the next over from George Edwards.But the last five wickets went down for 22 runs after Cox was bowled by Reece and Whiteley was run out attempting a second run off Jordan Clark.

Vans Shoes Outlet .com) - The Montreal Canadiens embark on their first road trip of the season as they head out west to battle the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. TORONTO -- Francisco Liriano wont have fond memories of his first home start with the Blue Jays.Joe Musgrove pitched seven innings for his first major league win, Teoscar Hernandez homered for his first big league hit and the Houston Astros beat Toronto and Liriano 5-3 on Friday night.Making his second start for Toronto since being acquired in an Aug. 1 trade with Pittsburgh, Liriano allowed five runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings.I was behind in the count a lot so that didnt help, Liriano said through a translator.Liriano walked two batters and both came around to score. He has failed to reach the seventh inning 13 times in his past 15 outings.Ive been trying to look for answers, Liriano said. I try to go out there and do my job, but things have been happening a lot for me this year.Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Liriano pitched better than his line.I didnt think he was that bad, Gibbons said. Hes got a live ball. They did square a couple of balls up and they were costly.Edwin Encarnacion hit his 300th home run and Michael Saunders hit his career-high 20th, but the Blue Jays lost for the first time in four meetings with the Astros.Good for Eddie, Gibbons said. He puts himself in a different category with 300.Astros DH Evan Gattis had four hits, including two doubles. Hernandez had two hits and reached base three times while George Springer singled and walked three times.Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve had two RBI each as Houston extended its winning streak to four.Making his second career start, and facing the team that drafted him in 2011, Musgrove (1-0) allowed two runs and six hits.Its awesome, Musgrove said. Its definitely good to get that first one out of the way, get the nerves and stuff out of the way.The Blue Jays traded Musgrove to the Astros in July 2012, as part of a nine-player deal that sent left-hander J.A. Happ to Toronto.Hernandez found out Thursday that he was being selected from Triple-A, and was too excited to sleep before catching a 4:00 a.m. flight from Fresno. He finally arrived at Rogers Centre about an hour before the game, and didnt even have time to take any swings before his first at-bat, a walk.dddddddddddd He homered in the sixth and singled in the eighth.Incredible day, a day that Im never going to forget, Hernandez said.POWER TRIOToronto is the fifth team in the majors with at least three hitters with 20 homers (Encarnacion, Josh Donaldson, Saunders). The others are Baltimore, Colorado, Detroit, and Seattle. The Orioles have four 20-homer hitters.GURRIELS DEBUT DRAWS NEARCuban infielder Yulieski Gurriel, who signed a five-year, $47.5 million deal with Houston on July 16, is expected to make his major league debut against St. Louis on Tuesday. Gurriel defected in February after competing in the Caribbean World Series in the Dominican Republic.
