an unbelievable match for me to be able to play, to pl

DENVER -- Starting pitcher Rich Hill was a scratch for the Los Angeles Dodgers yet again, this time for the second game of Wednesdays split doubleheader at Colorado.Bud Norris instead was starting for the Dodgers on regular rest, while the Rockies countered with right-hander Jeff Hoffman.Since being acquired from the Oakland Athletics on Aug. 1, Hill has made just one start for the Dodgers, a scoreless six-inning outing last Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants when he gave up five hits, all singles.Prior to that, he had been on the disabled list after a blister issue tore off the skin at the tip of his left middle finger. The Dodgers acquired him when he was on the DL, and there were multiple aborted starts before he finally took the mound at Dodger Stadium.Hill warmed up for Tuesdays game at Colorado that was delayed right before first pitch. After 2? hours of rain, the contest was finally postponed. The Dodgers were hesitant about Hill throwing another 40 warm-up pitches Wednesday and then throwing more in a game.I think he was completely understanding of the situation so the decision was made in his best interest as well as ours, manager Dave Roberts said. As disappointed as he was, he understands.Roberts said the blister did not necessarily flare up again and that the Dodgers are playing it safe.Looking at it throughout the day, there was a little heat, a little tenderness, Roberts said. Every player gets through [physical issues], but I dont think that a blister can be willed to stay healthy, no matter how much will he has. Its just more to try and err on the side of caution.Roberts said Hill could take the mound again Saturday or Sunday in a home series against the San Diego Padres.Any extra day is a benefit for Rich, but this weekend is certainly in play, Roberts said.

NEW YORK -- It was a year and a half ago in Miami that CiCi Bellis first played Serena Williams and, in her fathers words, froze with fear.After winning only two games in the straight-sets loss, Gordon and Lori Bellis told their then-16-year-old daughter, You just played the biggest-serving, hardest-hitting, best player in the game. You have nothing else to be fearful of.Friday night, on one of the biggest stages in tennis, the 17-year-old American played the second-best player in the womens game and learned that while she might have a ways to go to defeat the proverbial big girls, she is no longer fearful.I think today was the best experience Ive ever had in tennis, Bellis said after being vanquished by Angelique Kerber 6-1, 6-1 in 55 minutes. Her groundstrokes are perfect. I hope to one day be able to play like her.It was the tour-leading 50th victory of 2016 for the 28-year-old Kerber, the 2016 Australian Open champ, Wimbledon finalist and French Open quarterfinalist. The second-seeded German -- who made her Arthur Ashe Stadium debut in 2007, when as a 19-year-old she lost in straight sets to Williams -- was complimentary of her young opponent.Shes a great young, really talented player, said Kerber, who moves onto the round of 16 against Petra Kvitova. For sure she will have a great future.Gordon Bellis had half-joked after his daughters second-round victory over French Open quarterfinalist Shelby Rogers that he intended to plead with tournament officials to not have CiCi play the late-evening match because she generally went to bed at 10.Fridays match began just before 10, and while Bellis seemed alert enough in her Ashe debut with two break points in the first game, Kerber would hold and get down to business soonn enough.ddddddddddddKerber broke Bellis twice in the 31-minute first set, then three more times in the second, showing her experience and court savvy in a way that inspired Bellis more than anything else.I think were around the same height, Bellis said. She doesnt have the biggest serve in womens tennis. I definitely dont either. I think shes a really good person to model my game after. ... Definitely an unbelievable match for me to be able to play, to play against.Bellis, who first captured the adoration of New York fans as a 15-year-old in 2014 with an opening-round upset over No. 13 Dominika Cibulkova, showed her tennis gumption with a late service break against Kerber to prevent a second-set bagel.In the end, she got to upgrade her hotel room to a suite and enjoy more than a week of tennis with three victories in qualifying and two in the main draw. But Bellis latest US Open ride came to an end with her blowing kisses to the crowd as she left the court.Its the most amazing court I ever played on ... the best court in the world, she said.Bellis said maintaining her amateur status and attending Stanford next year is still an option as she left $140,000 for her third-round appearance on the table. But it will not deter her from her next order of business.Now is going to be the best part of my trip here because now I actually get to go shopping, kind of explore a little bit, she said. My friend just actually came in town yesterday. Were just going to really go hit everything, just play it by ear, see what she wants to do, just figure it out from there. But were going to have a lot of fun. ' ' '
