rshaw who threw more than 20 pitches off the mound on Satur

NASSAU, Bahamas -- If he were keeping score -- which he wasnt -- Tiger Woods would have tallied a loosely recorded 2-under-par 70 on Wednesday at Albany Golf Club in the pro-am that precedes the Hero World Challenge.Two eagles, two bogeys and no birdies summarize the five-hour round that included four amateurs on a muggy, windy Caribbean day.Pro-ams are standard fare preceding tournaments, and Woods has almost always treated them as a leisurely way to get a look at the golf course and greens, without much grinding. That was the case Wednesday, and he acknowledged that it was a serious endeavor for only about 12 of the 18 holes.I felt good with pretty much everything, he said. I was be able to hit all the shots I needed to hit. The wind was definitely pumping today, and it was good to see it in this direction. The time since Ive been here on Saturday, its been blowing out of the other direction, so its good to see it out of this direction.Woods has been dedicating the time to get ready for his first tournament in 15 months and said he would make his way to the putting green later in the afternoon.The Hero World Challenge, which benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation and has a field of just 18 players, is Woods first tournament since August 2015, when he tied for 10th at the Wyndham Championship before having two back procedures.A scheduled return in early October at the Safeway Championship was canceled just days prior when Woods felt his game was not ready.The two eagles Woods made were on the third and ninth holes and were set up by excellent tee shots. He missed just one fairway during the round. The best shot of the day was his tee shot at the 210-yard par-3 eighth, which was playing into a strong wind.Woods hit a version of his old stinger shot and saw the ball cut through the wind and come to rest behind the hole, about 10 feet away. The fact that he missed the putt didnt seem to faze anyone.Thats as good as he can hit a golf ball, I would say, said Joe LaCava, his caddie. That was solid.And that was how LaCava described the round in general. It was pretty solid, a good effort, he said. And it was in some tough conditions.Said Woods, who expects to be nervous when the first round begins: Ill be focused; Ill be ready. Bruce Smith Jersey .

CINCINNATI -- The Los Angeles Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds continue their four-game set on Sunday afternoon at Great American Ball Park with the Dodgers looking to cool off the red-hot Reds whove taken the first two games of the series by a combined score of 20-3.Its fun to play against them, said Reds right fielder Scott Schebler, a former Dodgers prospect. Getting to beat up on them, always better.Cincinnati has won five straight and is 21-12 since the All-Star break.Right-hander Anthony DeSclafani will make his 14th start of the season for Cincinnati. DeSclafani (7-1, 3.10 ERA) has produced 10 quality starts since coming off the disabled list on June 10.DeSclafani began the season on the DL with a strained left oblique suffered in his final spring training appearance. Hes came back stronger than ever with six straight quality starts from June 21 to July 20 a stretch in which he went 5-0 with a 2.59 ERA. He was the first Reds pitcher to produce at least six wins without a loss over his first nine starts of a season since Paul Wilson went 6-0 in his first nine starts in 2004.Left-hander Julio Urias (3-2, 4.41 ERA) takes the mound for Los Angeles. He last pitched on Aug. 13, allowing three hits in 2 2/3 innings of relief.

He is facing the Redds for the first time.ddddddddddddBoth teams are on the mend from recent injuries.The Dodgers got some more encouraging news on ace Clayton Kershaw who threw more than 20 pitches off the mound on Saturday. I thought it was successful, manager Dave Roberts said. I thought the intensity was there. Very productive.Hell throw again on Tuesday before determining if hes ready for a minor league rehabilitation stint. Kershaw is on the 60-day disabled list with a herniated disk.Cincinnati still is without shortstop Zack Cozart, whos expected to miss another game or two with discomfort in his right knee and left Achilles. In order to fortify its bench, the Reds recalled Jose Peraza from Triple-A Louisville. Peraza had three hits including a homer and three RBI on Saturday in his return to the big leagues.I wasnt comfortable with a three-man bench so we brought Peraza up, said Reds manager Bryan Price. Hell get some starts at short. We can move him around.The Reds also welcomed back left fielder Adam Duvall, who hit a three-run homer on the second pitch he saw on Saturday after missing four games after fouling a pitch off his left foot on Monday.Cincinnati got seven innings of one-hit baseball from left-hander Brandon Finnegan on Saturday, which should set things up well for Sundays game.Our bullpen should be fresh going into (Sundays) game, Price said.
