PHOENIX -- Three ugly quarters didnt get Eric Bledsoe down. And his fourth quarter was a beauty. Bledsoe, who missed 10 of his first 11 shots, scored the final 14 points for Phoenix, topping it off with a 3-pointer with 0.7 seconds to play to give the Suns an 87-84 victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday night. Phoenix improved to 2-0 under new coach and ex-Jazz player and assistant coach Jeff Hornacek. Gordon Haywards 3-pointer tied it for Utah at 84 with 22.9 seconds to play. Bledsoe, 4 of 15 from the field, finished with 18 points for the Suns, 17 in the fourth quarter. Miles Plumlee added 13 points and 13 rebounds. Enes Kanter scored 20 points and Hayward had 18 points for Utah. The Suns Goran Dragic played 3 minutes in the third quarter then left because of a right face contusion he sustained in a nasty collision with teammate Markieff Morris late in the first half. Dragic wanted to play but Hornacek pulled him. "He just didnt look right," Hornacek said. Bledsoe made one of two free throws with 30.4 seconds to play, making it 84-81 and giving Utah a chance to tie. The Jazz did just that when Hayward broke free for the 3-pointer. Bledsoe calmly dribbled down the clock then pulled up for his game-winning 3 from the top of the key. "I knew that he was playing me to drive so I was going to wait until the clock got really low to shoot it," Bledsoe said. "... He was daring me to shoot it so you know I was going to shoot it." Hayward confirmed he was worried about Bledsoe driving to the basket. "I tried to sag off him just a tad but he is a little quicker than I am," Hayward said. "He kind of shown he would drive to the basket the whole game but he made a nice pull-up there. It was a tough shot." The Jazz were called for an out-of-bounds violation on their desperation attempt at the finish. Utah coach Tyrone Corbin pointed to his teams 20 turnovers and Phoenixs 24 fast-break points. "And we missed our free throws," he said. "We missed 10 again tonight so weve got to get better at those things. Young guys or whatever, we have to make free throws and we cant turn the ball over." Bledsoe began his run with a three-point play, then hit a 3-pointer and made four free throws, accounting for all the offence in a 10-1 run that put Phoenix ahead 83-80 with 1:34 to play. Hayward made one of two free throws with 35.5 seconds to go to cut the lead to 83-81. Just before Bledsoes run, Utah used a 10-1 fourth-quarter spurt to go up 76-73 on a 19-footer by John Lucas III with 5:25 to play. Hornacek said his team didnt play well. "We didnt have it tonight. We didnt have the energy. They were outhustling us to balls," he said, "but somehow the guys sucked it up in that fourth quarter and ended up pulling it out." Neither team led by more than eight points as both struggled from the field. Utah shot 36.5 per cent, the Suns 37.3 per cent. Utah took its biggest lead at 53-45 on Kanters rebound basket with 8:58 left in the third quarter. Then Dionte Christmas, in his first NBA appearance, scored seven consecutive points on a long 2-pointer, a free throw and a 3-pointer, igniting a 17-3 run that gave Phoenix a 62-56 lead on Morris 19-footer with 2:49 left in the third. Utah outscored the Suns 6-1 the rest of the quarter and trailed 63-62 entering the fourth. Phoenix scored the first five points of the fourth quarter on Christmas layup and Bledsoes three-point play to lead 68-62 with 10:28 to play. Utah came back to tie it at 72 on Alec Burks fast-break layup with 6:20 left. The Suns two point-guard lineup of Bledsoe and Dragic, which accounted for 48 points in Phoenixs season-opening win over Portland on Wednesday, was a combined 6 for 26 from the field.

Air Force 1 Alte Summaeverythang . -- David Ortiz saved his only hit for a key moment for the Boston Red Sox.MINNEAPOLIS -- Just when Joe Mauer was getting on a roll, pain forced an early exit. Mauer drove in two runs before leaving with an injury, Eduardo Nunez homered and the Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals 10-2 on Tuesday night. Mauer extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a two-run double down the left-field line in the fourth inning, but was noticeably limping as he ran to second base. The team said he has a strained oblique muscle on his right side and will be evaluated Wednesday. "Ive been kind of battling this area for about a week or so, maybe a little more," Mauer said. "Ive been stiff and getting it loose and everythings been fine, but today on that one swing, ball down the line, it felt like somebody hit me pretty hard right there." Mauer missed almost a week earlier this year with a bad back and sat out the final 39 games last season with concussion-like symptoms. "Ive never had this happen before, so I hope its a lot sooner than what guys in the past have had," Mauer said. "Ive been feeling pretty good and getting some results, so its bad timing." Eric Hosmer had four hits for the Royals. Ricky Nolasco (5-6) earned his first win in five starts, allowing one run and eight hits in six innings. Minnesota signed Nolasco to a $49 million, four-year contract in the off-season, hoping he would help a rotation that had a major league-worst 5.26 ERA last year. Nolasco has struggled, however, posting a 5.49 ERA. He pitched more than six innings just once in his past 11 starts. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said before the game that Nolasco had a good bullpen session last weekend in hopes of improving his mechanics to get better command of his fastball to set up his breaking pitches. Nolasco was better Tuesday, but remained far from dominant. He gave up six hits in the first three innings before settling down and retiring the Royals in order in the fourth and sixth. "I didnt have too many quick innings, but it was just kind of battling and I made some pitches when I had to," Nolasco said. "(My fastball) was better. Just trying not to do too much. Its a step in the right direction." Kansas City starter James Shields (8-4) was hoping a new month would change his fortunes.dddddddddddd. It didnt. In his shortest outing of the season, Shields allowed nine hits and five runs -- four earned -- in five innings. Although he struck out five, he was constantly behind in the count, leading to a 113-pitch outing. It was his first loss since May 2, a span of 10 starts in which he had five wins and five no-decisions. The right-hander has a 5.66 ERA in his past eight starts, and only twice has he allowed three or fewer runs. "I actually thought I made some pretty good pitches and they just found a lot of holes today," Shields said. "Its definitely frustrating that Im not getting outs. Im not getting my job done." Nunez homered and Sam Fuld had a two-run single as part of a five-run sixth inning for the Twins. Minnesota scored more than five runs for just the third time in 16 games. "We got some breaks," Gardenhire said. "They always say it evens out, so hopefully this is the start of it evening out." A miscue by the Royals gave Minnesota a 2-1 lead in the third. With Nunez on first, Chris Parmelee hit a popup to short left field with two outs. Mike Moustakas backpedaled from third base as left fielder Alex Gordon was coming in. The two nearly collided and the ball bounced off Gordons glove to put runners on second and third. Kendrys Morales drove in Nunez with an infield single. "I think Gordy just thought that he wasnt going to get there, then at the last second realized he had a chance to get there and they both get there at the same time," Royals manager Ned Yost said. An RBI double by Parmelee scored Nunez in the first, but an RBI single by Moustakas evened the score in the second. NOTES: Minnesotas Brian Dozier, who has started 79 of 82 games at second base, got the night off. He is in a 1-for-24 slump, and Gardenhire said he could sense some frustration. ...
