ST. LOUIS -- Jordan Zimmermann needed just 76 pitches to throw his second straight complete game for the Washington Nationals. He made one big mistake, and Matt Adams drove it over the wall in centre to lead Lance Lynn and the St. Louis Cardinals to a 1-0 victory Friday night. It was "a changeup that was down the middle," Zimmermann said. "He made me pay. Its tough, but tomorrows another day." Lynn threw eight innings of two-hit ball and Adams homered on his first swing since coming off the disabled list. Zimmermann (5-3) threw a two-hit shutout at San Diego his last start and worked 19 2-3 consecutive scoreless innings before Adams hit his fourth homer on a 1-0 pitch with two outs in the second. He gave up three hits, two of them by Adams, in eight innings against St. Louis for his seventh career complete game and third in a loss. Zimmermanns 76 pitches were the franchises lowest total in a complete game since it relocated to Washington in 2005. The Nationals turned two double plays. "I was throwing a lot of strikes and they were coming up hacking," Zimmermann said. "I was locating the fastball, got a lot of groundballs and had good defence behind me." Just no offence. "He was on and we were off," cleanup man Adam LaRoche said after going 0 for 3. "The majority of the time when Ive seen Jordan, hes really had it." Adams was activated from the 15-day disabled list from a strained left calf earlier Friday and rookie Oscar Taveras was optioned to Triple-A Memphis. Lynn (7-4) struck out eight with no walks against the NL East leaders, who had won 10 of 13. Trevor Rosenthal added three more strikeouts in the ninth, working around rookie second baseman Kolten Wongs two-out error on Denard Spans routine grounder for his 18th save in 21 chances. Zimmermann is 0-5 against the Cardinals and 0-2 against the Pirates, the only two NL teams he hasnt beaten. The Cardinals have won 10 of the last 12 regular-season meetings, and beat the Nationals in the 2012 NL division series. Lynn retired his first 16 batters. He got some help from his defence when shortstop Jhonny Peralta went into the hole to snare Jayson Werths one-hop liner in the fourth and threw to first to end the inning. Jose Lobaton singled with one out in the sixth for Washingtons first baserunner and took an extra base when left fielder Matt Holliday bobbled the ball. But Zimmermann popped out and Span flied out to centre to end the inning. "Needless to say, he had pretty good stuff," LaRoche said. "Both guys did." Werth singled with one out in the seventh but was erased on LaRoches double-play ball. Lynn is 22-9 at home for his career, and shut out the Yankees in his first career complete game on May 27. He surrendered six runs in a total of 8 1-3 innings in a pair of losses in his next two starts at Toronto and against the Giants. The game was played in a snappy 2 hours, 3 minutes, fastest of the season at Busch Stadium. "Just a pretty quick, lifeless game offensively," LaRoche said. "Its amazing how quick that game was."

The Cavaliers made it four straight wins with Wednesdays 106-92 victory over the Utah Jazz and were led by LeBron James, who registered 26 points, nine assists and seven rebounds. James, though, had seven turnovers. Kevin Love contributed 19 points and 13 rebounds, Timofey Mozgov added 16 points and 11 boards, and Kyrie Irving netted 18 points for the Cavs, whose winning streak comes on the heels of losing six in a row and nine of 10 games. Its clicking, James said. We have a good groove right now. James has scored 26 points or more in five straight games, posting an average of 30.6 ppg in that span. Cleveland has scored 100 or more points in five straight games and will host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday at the Q. It is 13-9 at home this season. The Cavs could see Iman Shumpert Friday night for the first time since acquiring him in a three-team deal with the New York Knicks and Thunder. Shumpert has been sidelined with a shoulder injury and last played Dec. 12 at Boston. Hee averaged 9.dddddddddddd.3 ppg with the Knicks this season. Charlotte has been playing well of late with three straight wins and eight in the past nine tries. The Hornets went 3-1 on a recent homestand and recorded a 78-76 victory over the Miami Heat on Wednesday, as Kemba Walker scored 15 points on just 4-of-17 shooting. Bismack Biyombo recorded 12 points and 12 boards, Al Jefferson came off the bench to post 12 points and four rebounds, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist ended with eight points to go along with 14 rebounds. With the Heat trailing by two in the closing seconds, Chris Bosh missed on a 3-pointer from the top of the key. Mario Chalmers tracked down the rebound, and his final shot from the corner missed short. Basketball is a game of runs, said Walker. It was up to us to stay mentally tough, get stops, and make plays on our end. Walker missed the previous two games because of a knee injury. Charlotte had a 56-41 advantage on the glass and shot 33.8 percent. It will host the New York Knicks Saturday night. The Hornets are winless (0-2) against the Cavaliers this season and had won the previous five games in this series. <a href="http://www.chinawholesalejerseysnfl.com/">Wholesale Jerseys</a> ' ' '
