ST. Luke Joeckel Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Rays had never won a game that ended like this. Yunel Escobar scored on Nick Hundleys passed ball with two outs in ninth inning Saturday, giving the Rays a 3-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles. "However it falls at the end, well take it in a good way," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. Escobar reached first on a throwing error by shortstop Ryan Flaherty leading off the ninth, took second on Kevin Kiermaiers sacrifice bunt and advanced to third on Curt Casalis flyout. After Ben Zobrist was intentionally walked by Brad Brach (5-1), Andrew Miller relieved and threw a ball to Ryan Hanigan as Zobrist moved up on defensive indifference. Miller then threw an outside pitch that glanced off Hundleys glove and rolled to the backstop as Escobar sprinted home. Playing its 2,733rd regular-season game, Tampa Bay won for the first time on a game-ending passed ball, according to STATS. Baltimore had not lost on a walkoff passed ball since at least 1974, STATS said. "Its tough to lose a game because I dont catch the ball," Hundley said. "I cant remember the last time I just flat-out missed it." Brad Boxberger (5-1) struck out two during a perfect ninth to beat the Orioles for the second straight day. The AL East leaders were coming off a 9-2 homestand. "Im not going to dwell on that," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said of the ending. "They have pitched really well the last two games, and thats been the difference." Baltimore had tied the score in the eighth when Rays closer Jake McGee walked Steve Pearce, pinch-runner Quintin Berry advanced when McGee made an errant pickoff attempt for an error and Nelson Cruz singled for his 94th RBIs. Delmon Young lined to third baseman Evan Longoria, who threw to second to double up pinch runner David Lough. Rays starter Drew Smyly gave up one run and four hits over six innings, and Baltimores Kevin Gausman gave up two runs and five hits in seven innings. Tampa Bay will decide in the next few days whether to end Smylys season after 153 innings. "Whether its the last one or one more, who knows?" Smyly said. "Just keep trying to finish strong. You want to end on a good note." Smyly is 3-1 with an 1.70 ERA in seven starts since Tampa Bay acquired him Aug. 31 from Detroit for 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner David Price. Chris Daviss 26th homer put the Orioles ahead in the second -- he is 2 for 11 against Smyly with a pair of home runs. Tampa Bay took a 2-1 lead in the bottom half on Longorias sacrifice fly and an RBI single by Wil Myers that went off the glove of centre fielder Adam Jones, who was trying to a catch at full extension. Longoria has 38 RBIs in 46 games since the All-Star break. TRAINERS ROOM Orioles: Pearce (abdominal strain) returned to the starting lineup after being sidelined since Aug. 29. ...

The Brazilian international goalkeeper was beaten twice in the first 12 minutes of his Reds debut in a 3-1 preseason loss to Columbus Crew in Florida earlier this week.TORONTO - Gary Bettman understands the intense scrutiny NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is under. Goodell has been harshly criticized for being too lenient or not acting quickly enough to punish Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and other players involved in a rash of recent domestic violence incidents. "I think hes working very hard in a difficult situation," Bettman, the NHLs longtime commissioner, said Monday. Bettman, who has been in his position longer than any current commissioner in North American professional sports, said its impossible to be too comfortable in a job like his or Goodells because unpredictable things happen. Comparing it to being a CEO of any major company, he added theres no luxury of having a night off. "Whenever that phone rings, and sometimes it does at two in the morning, youve got to respond and youve got to have your A-game otherwise youre liable to make a mistake, and when you make a mistake in this position, it gets magnified," Bettman said at a meeting for The Canadian Club of Toronto. "And it doesnt matter if youre right 99 out of 100 times, which is a pretty good batting record, its that one that youll have to live with and deal with." Arrested for punching his then-fiancee and now wife earlier this year, Rice was originally suspended for two games, but after a video surfaced on Sept. 8 showing the violent attack, he was released by the Baltimore Ravens and suspended indefinitely. Peterson has been indicted on child-abuse charges and deactivated by the Minnesota Vikings but has not been suspended. At a news conference last week, Goodell took responsibility for the leagues failings in investigating Rice, saying he "didnt get it right." During several interviews Monday, Bettman didnt reference Rice or Peterson. Instead, he spoke in general terms about how professional sports leagues can handle those kinds of situations. "You do the best you can, and thats something in areas that are important weve tried to be proactive," Bettman said. "It doesnt mean that things are going to happen in any league, in any business, in any situation that you cant control, but we try to address issues head-on and we try to do the right thing on a consistent basis." Bettman said the NHLs security department and behavioural health counsellors have talked to players about the topic of domestic violence for more than a decade. "Based on our experience to date, we believe that the appropriate procedures are in effect that we can do what we need to do on a case-by-case basis," he said in an interview with The Canadian Press. "I am extraordinarily proud of our players and how they conduct themselves. If and when something needs to be addressed in terms of discipline, it will be. But more importantly we try too focus, with the Players Association, on educating and counselling. Seattle Seahawks Jerseys. " The collective bargaining agreement includes procedures on how to handle off-ice incidents and gives the NHL power to suspend a player amid a criminal investigation if failing to do so would "create a substantial risk of material harm to the legitimate interests and/or reputation of the league." After the NFL instituted a new policy that made a first domestic-violence offence a six-game suspension, Bettman said the NHL would continue to handle incidents on a case-by-case basis because it has not been an issue that requires setting a standard punishment. In October 2013, Colorado Avalanche goaltender Semyon Varlamov was charged with felony kidnapping and assault for attacking his girlfriend. Varlamov was not suspended, and the charges were dropped in December when prosecutors said they did not have enough evidence to convict him. Bettman was not specifically asked about Varlamovs arrest in light of the NFLs handling of domestic violence. He said sports leagues have an obligation to try to do the right things. "I dont think anybody whos in the league, be it as an owner, an executive or a player, has any illusions as to whats expected of them," Bettman said. "Our code of conduct is we expect you to do the right thing, and if you dont, we hold you accountable." In a question-and-answer session with new "Hockey Night In Canada" host George Stroumboulopoulos and those attending the Canadian Club luncheon, Bettman also addressed expansion and other topics related to on-ice action. Bettman reiterated that the NHL has no current plans to undergo a formal expansion process beyond the 30 teams that have existed since 2000. "Im not suggesting that at some point in the future we might not look at, but were not ready to do it now," he said. "And I dont want to build up anybodys expectations because thats not unfair to people in a community that want to have a franchise." One recent report said the NHL would expand by four teams, one each in Quebec City, Las Vegas and Seattle and a second franchise in Toronto, by 2017. Asked by Stroumboulopoulos about his philosophical opinion on having two teams in one market, Bettman explained in hypothetical terms that there are pitfalls, especially in Toronto. "If we decided that we were putting a second team in Ontario, and the year the team was supposed to start, the Leafs won the Cup, that second team wouldnt exist," Bettman said. "When you have historically established teams with great histories and traditions, the second team — even if the first team isnt having tremendous success at the time — the second team will never quite get the premier coverage."
