PHILADELPHIA -- Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said after Tuesdays game that he might be onto something.This came after he was reminded that Tuesdays ejection was the 51st of his career and sixth of 2016.Whatever he was trying to do -- whether he was really mad at first base umpire Alan Porter or trying to ignite a team that had lost 12 of 14 -- it worked.The Pirates won when trailing after eight innings for the first time since July 12, 2014 -- a stretch of 140 games.Sean Rodriguezs three-run, go-ahead home run gave Pittsburgh a 5-3 win over the Phillies.The win came at a much-needed time. Theyre not mathematically out of the playoffs just yet, though it would take an awful lot for them to catch the New York Mets or St. Louis Cardinals at this point. They entered Monday six games out of the final wild-card spot.They left Monday with -- finally -- a little bit of momentum.Weve been scratching and clawing every game, Hurdle said. If youre not in the dugout, you dont feel the angst sometimes. When your offense is scratching to score runs, they take the at-bats personal. They try to keep it professional, but they take them personal.For us to battle back like that, it just goes to show you the guys are still going to play, theyre still going to fight.The same can be said of the Phillies starting pitching staff. The offense has put up the lowest run totals in the league, but the organization has to be happy about the young starting pitchers as 2016 winds down.The bullpen, not so much. Jeanmar Gomezs blown save Tuesday was his fifth of the year and he now has a 5.21 ERA in 19 save situations at home this season. The bullpen was a strong suit earlier in the year. But the starters have been hung out to dry lately.Our entire bullpen hasnt really hung in there that well, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. Im excited about the starting pitching.Alec Asher delivered the 11th consecutive start of Phillies starting pitching allowing three runs or less. The last time a Phillies staff did that was in 2011, when the team boasted the likes of Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels and Roy Oswalt. During the streak, Phillies starters have the best ERA in the league.Wednesday night will feature young righty Jake Thompson, who has lately been a much better pitcher after struggling in his first four starts. Thompson (1-5, 6.05 ERA) faces Pittsburgh left-hander Steven Brault (0-2, 3.38) when the four-game series continues in Philadelphia on Wednesday night (7:05 p.m. EST).

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Michael Floyds black Cadillac Escalade sat through at least two green-light cycles with him passed out behind the wheel before police officers barricaded his SUV between their cars as they prepared to wake him up, according to the police report detailing the arrest of the Arizona Cardinals wide receiver on charges of DUI on Monday morning.Police found Floyd asleep at the wheel of his SUV in the left-turn lane at an intersection in the Old Town area of Scottsdale, Arizona, at 2:48 a.m. after the Cardinals returned to Arizona from their trip to Miami, where they lost to the Dolphins 26-23.The SUV was on, and Floyds foot was on the brake, the report said.When the responding officers were able to wake Floyd, he appeared surprised, the officers wrote in their report. He then pointed forward, signaling to them that he was going to drive off after repeated orders from police to turn his car off. At one point, Floyd told the officers that he was going to drive off, they wrote.After Floyd rolled down his window, the officers smelled alcohol and noticed Floyd had watery and bloodshot eyes, according to the report. One of the officers reached inside and grabbed Floyds wrists, moving them to the ceiling of the SUV to keep him from touching the steering wheel. After Floyd had great difficulty responding and complying to the commands from the officers to get out of his vehicle, the officer unlatched Floyds seatbelt and led him out of the Escalade, according to the report.Michael diid not fight us but also had to be physically manipulated in order to comply, an officer wrote in the report.dddddddddddd.When Floyd took his foot off the brake, the Escalade rolled into one of the police cruisers, but there was no damage to either vehicle, according to the report. The report said the officers had positioned their cars on either end of Floyds Escalade, with their push bumpers abutting the front and rear of Floyds vehicle.The officers then sat Floyd on a median in the road. At one point while he sat on the curb, Floyd asked the officers why they were acting like this. Floyd then was questioned about his drinking.According to the police report, Floyd initially told officers that he was leaving his home in Scottsdale to pick his nephew up from the airport, but his story evolved into him having one drink, and he later said it was two drinks. Police said Floyds story jumped around between him drinking on the team plane back from Miami and drinking at the W Scottsdale hotel, but Floyd eventually settled on having had wine -- house cabernet -- on the team plane. Floyd also told the officers he was on a blood-thinning medication.Floyd was arrested and charged with obstructing a roadway, DUI impaired to the slightest degree, DUI BAC over .08 and failure to obey a police officer. He was booked and then released from the Scottsdale jail at 4:55 a.m. ' ' '
