He went seven innings to beat Charlotte in his most recent star

PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks-Atlanta Braves series is anything but dull.Long, sure, but not dull.The teams combined for 47 runs and 77 hits in the first three games of the four-game set that concludes Thursday night, when Arizona left-hander Robbie Ray will face off against Atlanta right-hander Matt Wisler, who is being recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to rejoin the rotation.The Braves have one more run in the series and one more loss, both times when Arizona walked them off, in the ninth inning Monday and in the 11th Wednesday.The teams have used 38 pitchers who have thrown 1,071 pitches.They have played 29 innings and 11 hours, 27 minutes.Eventually we got it done, Arizona manager Chip Hale said after the Diamondbacks survived a four-run Braves ninth inning Wednesday to win on Brandon Drurys short sacrifice fly in the 11th.Even that play was a little different. With the bases loaded and one out, Drury hit a line drive to short left field that Matt Kemp, playing in, caught with a dive. However, Kemp could not get up in time to get much on his throw to the plate, and Jake Lamb scored the winning run.Arizona right-hander Zack Greinke recorded his 2,000th career strikeout in the fourth inning, but he also gave up four runs in six innings. Atlanta not only rallied to tie the game with four runs in the ninth but later had runners on first and third with one out in the ninth and runners on second and third with two outs in the 10th but could not push across the go-ahead run.We had a legit chance to win against one of the better pitchers in baseball, and its a tough one to lose, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said.Arizona has five homers and Atlanta has four in the series, with first basemen Paul Goldschmidt and Freddie Freeman leading the way with two apiece.It also has been a good series to rub it in to a former team.Diamondbacks center fielder Michael Bourn is getting a little payback against Atlanta, which released him late in spring training in order to give time to younger players in a rebuilding season. Bourn had two triples in a four-hit game Wednesday and is 7-for-15 with five runs in the series.Bourn spent time in the Toronto minor league system before returning to the majors with Arizona in May.Atlanta center fielder Ender Inciarte also has starred against his former team. Inciarte, traded to the Braves at the winter meetings with right-hander Aaron Blair and shortstop Dansby Swanson for right-hander Shelby Miller, had four hits Wednesday and also is 7-for-15 with three runs in the series.Arizona could believe it has the advantage in the pitching matchup Thursday.Ray is the reigning NL Pitcher of the Week after giving up two runs in 12 innings in victories over the New York Mets on Aug. 15 and San Diego on Saturday. Ray struck out a career-high 13 in seven innings against the Padres, fanning the side in the second and the fourth with a fastball that tops out in the 97-98 mph range.He is 2-0 with an 0.95 ERA in his past three starts.Command, manager Chip Hale when asked to explain Rays recent success. Just being able to command that fastball. Its such a devastating pitch. Hes throwing his breaking ball better, better locations with it. The main thing is fastball command and not having to throw so many pitches. Getting deeper in games.Wisler spent the first four months of the season in the rotation and was 4-11 with a 5.16 ERA in 21 appearances, 20 starts, before being optioned to Gwinnett the first week of August. He was 2-1 with a 3.71 ERA in four starts at Gwinnett, and he gave up no more than three earned runs in any of them. He went seven innings to beat Charlotte in his most recent start, last Friday.Wisler will be facing the Diamondbacks for the first time. Ray has opposed the Braves just once, when he allowed three runs on six hits in 4 1/3 innings at Atlanta on Aug. 14, 2015. ultra boost schuhe online .

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Darrelle Revis has had a rough season, filled with questions about his desire, abilities and passion for the game.The New York Jets cornerback will likely also face some tough decisions in the offseason -- including whether hell accept a possible pay cut.Well see, Revis said Thursday. Well see what happens next year. Well see. Lot of things going on. Well see. Well figure it out.Revis is scheduled to make $15 million, including a $2 million roster bonus, next season -- but thats a lofty salary for an aging player who admittedly has had a subpar year.The roster bonus would kick in on the second day of the league year in March, but the Jets could choose to cut ties with the 31-year-old Revis if he doesnt want to renegotiate his deal.For me, personally, its a down year, Revis said. Its a down year for the team. Its a down year for me, personally, but Ive been in these situations before. Its not the year for us.Weve got these last couple of games this month of December to actually come out with some positives at the end of the season and then focus on the offseason.For me, personally, my focus is on the future of this football club.Revis doesnt currently have an agent representing him after firing Neil Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod earlier this year. The cornerback told The Associated Press that he has no plans to hire a new agent, but rather handle future contract issues himself with the assistance of lawyers.If the Jets cut Revis, the team would still owe him $6 million as part of the $39 million in guarantees in the five-year, $70 million deal he signed with New York in 2015.That would make Revis, who has struggled mightily this season, a free agent while also clearing about $99.dddddddddddd3 million of his $15.3 million salary cap hit.A published report Thursday, citing an anonymous source, suggested that Revis might have lost his passion for football and perhaps doesnt want to play anymore. He told the AP last month that he has not at all thought about retiring, and dismissed the report.When asked if he intends to continue playing beyond this year, Revis simply said: Im under contract until 2018.People say a lot of things, said Revis, whos actually signed through 2019. I cant sit here and justify where reports come and where these things come from. I dont know the report. I dont know what source said this or whatnot. Im here to play football. Thats what Im here to do.Revis has been one of the best players in franchise history, quickly establishing himself as a shutdown cornerback shortly after being drafted in the first round by the Jets in 2007.He has dealt with several contract squabbles throughout his career, and was traded by New York to Tampa Bay in 2013. After one season with the Buccaneers, Revis signed a one-year deal with New England and helped the Patriots win the Super Bowl during the 2014 season.He returned to the Jets the following offseason, bringing Revis Island back to New York. But he hasnt played at his usual All-Pro level this year, prompting many fans and media to question whether he might be facing the end of his career. Despite all that, Revis insisted he isnt letting the frustration get to him.No, actually not, he said. Its actually fine.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
