Tom Boyds atonement for his altercation with AFL teammate Zaine Cordy last month hasnt ended even though hes back in the Western Bulldogs team.Boyd will line up for the Bulldogs for the first time since April in Cairns on Saturday against Gold Coast.A six-week shoulder injury has contributed to the mega-money recruits stay outside the seniors but more recently its been the pub biff thats held him back.Now returned to the fold, the Bulldogs hope he can turn his contrition into a contribution.Tom, to his credit, hes handled himself really well. His form at VFL level has been exactly what we wanted and hes earned his spot, assistant coach Steven King said on Friday.As a club weve moved past (the controversy) now.Hes played himself in.We need that presence forward and in the ruck. We think hes going to help us a lot.At just 20-years-old and playing in the most challenging role for emerging juniors - power forward - Boyd might normally be afforded time and patience to grow.While the Western Bulldogs are showing those qualities - a seven-year deal means they have time on their hands - the outside world has been more ruthless.His multi-million dollar switch from Greater Western Sydney has stuck a huge target on Boyds back, just 27 games and 29 goals into his career.The Bulldogs will be hoping the less-than-bright lights of Cazalys Stadium in Far North Queensland can be the place where Boyd can start afresh.Josh Dunkley joins Boyd as an inclusion with Tom Liberatore (ribs) and Lukas Webb (omitted) for the injury-struck Suns.The well-placed Bulldogs should make short work of Gold Coast, who wont see Gary Ablett (shoulder) or Michael Rischitelli (knee) again this season.Jarrad Grant, Mitch Hallahan and Jesse Lonergan come in for the pair as well as Dion Prestia (knee), who is expected to be a shorter-term loss.King said the challenge of containing the Gold Coast forward line would keep the Bulldogs busy.(Peter) Wright and Tommy Lynch and even (Sam) Day have been in great form marking the footy. Weve got to stop the ball getting in there, he said.Were missing Libba and Lukey Dahlhaus as well. Not that it evens up (the absence of Ablett and Rischitelli) but were certainly preparing for their best.They can all play at the level and were expecting a fierce contest.

Calvin Ridley Falcons Jersey . The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast. John Cominsky Falcons Jersey .

MINNEAPOLIS -- James Paxton was cruising along for the Seattle Mariners, as hes done often this season. Then Robinson Cano, Nelson Cruz and the middle of the Seattle Mariners batting order order broke out.Cano had four hits and two RBI, Cruz added a two-run homer among his four RBI and the Mariners beat the Minnesota Twins 10-1 on Friday night to stay on pace in the AL wild-card race.Nice to see the middle of our lineup come together, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. We havent had a game like that in a while. ... Those guys are huge in the middle. Theyve carried us all year. Nice to see them get going again.Seattle trailed Detroit by two games for the second wild card but passed Houston.Paxton (5-7) struck out nine and allowed one run on five hits. Seattle, which scored six runs in the seventh inning, entered Friday averaging just 2.88 runs per game while Paxton was on the mound.Feels good, Paxton said of pitching well while in the playoff race. This is what we need. We need to win right now. Guys are playing hard and were doing our best to stay right there, and try to climb up in the wild-card standings.Kyle Gibson (6-10) gave up two runs, five hits and four walks for Minnesota, which lost its seventh straight and fell to 99 losses, its most since 2011.Its tough to be too satisfied with a game where you only went five innings, threw a hundred pitches and your team loses 10-1, Gibson said. I think theres some positives but its hard to focus on those at that time.With a biting curveball at his disposal, Paxton allowed just three hits, two on infield singles, before waiting through the long top of the seventh. The only blemish on his night was Miguel Sano leading off the seventh with a triple off the wall in right field and scoring on Kennys Vargas single.He was in total control, Servais said. It was great to see. Fun watching him go like that because he gets on those rolls and the release points very consistent.Seattle supplied Paxton with the most run support hes received in a start this season.Cano and Mike Zunino had RBI bloop singles in the third and fourth before a big inning against three relievers.ddddddddddddCano drove in a run with an infield single. Cruz followed with a two-run double, Kyle Seager had an RBI double and Zuninos single led to two runs when left fielder Robbie Grossman committed two errors. Grossman let the ball bounce off his glove and then kicked the ball as he went to retrieve it.Byron Buxton made a leaping catch at the wall to rob Cruz of at least extra bases in the third, but Cruz hit his 38th homer in the eighth, a drive off the stone facing above the batters eye in center field. MLBs Statcast said the ball would have traveled 454 feet had it landed unimpeded.Seattle had scored two runs or fewer in six of its previous seven games.The start was delayed by 35 minutes due to rain, marking the 14th delay or postponement in Minnesota this season.HOLLANDERSeattle announced Friday that Justin Hollander has been hired as the teams director of baseball operations.Hollander, 37, was the Los Angeles Angels director of player personnel.
