Vorstellung » Chris Woakes celebrates after running out AB de Villiers W

MIAMI -- On Friday night, San Diego Padres right-hander Jarred Cosart will get a chance to stick it to the Miami Marlins, the team that traded him on July 31.Cosart, who will step on the Marlins Park mound for the first time since July 25, will face Miami right-hander David Phelps (7-6, 2.28 ERA). Cosart is 0-1 with a 4.54 ERA.Im just trying to prepare like its another major league start, Cosart said. I get nervous before every major league start. Im sure I will have that same nervous excitement.Cosart said he is trying to build off what Ive been doing the past three starts, when he posted a 3.78 ERA and walked just four batters in 16 2/3 innings.Its been a battle for Cosart since his breakthrough year of 2014. He split his time that year between the Houston Astros and the Marlins, going 13-11 with a 3.69 ERA. However, he is just 2-6 since then.Phelps, meanwhile, has been outstanding all year, first as a set-up reliever and more recently as a starter after Miami suffered rotation injuries to Wei-Yin Chen, Colin Rea and Adam Conley. Rea, who was part of the seven-player trade that brought Cosart to San Diego, was returned to the Padres after he got hurt in his first start.With all that adversity, Phelps has come through, posting a 1.31 ERA in his first four starts. He has allowed hitters just a .192 batting average and a .550 OPS.The Marlins (66-61) need to win this series against a Padres team that is not in playoff contention with a lowly 53-74 record.Miami may look to start newly acquired outfielder Jeff Francoeur this weekend.Francoeur, who was acquired in a trade with the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday, arrived in Miami on Thursday and got an infield single as a pinch-hitter in his Marlins debut.Among his new teammates is Martin Prado, who played with him when they were with the Atlanta Braves.Ive played against the Marlins forever, Francoeur said. I do know some familiar faces. I have respect for a lot of these guys and (manager Don) Mattingly and his staff.Im excited. (The trade to a playoff contender) was something I needed. It was a tough year in Atlanta with all the rebuilding. Im excited to come here and get at-bats that mean something.In other story lines:--Both the Padres and Marlins were named on Thursday as two of the hosts of the 2017 World Baseball Classic.

Joe Root (109) hit his eighth ODI hundred and second-straight in the series, helping England recover from 108-6 after a collapse of 4-13, and set South Africa 263 to win.England seemed to have a series win within their grasp, reducing the hosts to 210-8 in reply, before Morris blasted South Africa to victory, taking the series to a decider in Cape Town on Sunday.South Africa won the toss and somewhat surprisingly chose to bowl first on a pitch they smacked 439 on when last playing at The Wanderers.An early breakthrough, Jason Roy top-edging Kagiso Rabada (4-45) to fine leg, went some way to vindicating their decision, before Alex Hales hit 50 in a partnership worth 69 with Root for the second wicket.Looking to take the attack to leg-spinner Imran Tahir (3-46) like they had done successfully in the first three ODIs, Hales perished at deep midwicket when attempting a slog-sweep for six.Tahir then took two wickets in his next over - Eoin Morgan cutting to point and Ben Stokes edging to Hashim Amla, who took a fine catch to his right at slip. Watch this brilliant catch from Hashim Amla to claim the wicket of Ben Stokes Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali too fell for single-figure scores, both to Kyle Abbott (2-57), the former top-edging an attempted hook onto his helmet which looped back to the bowler, and Amla taking another fine catch to dismiss the latter.With England reeling at 108-6 at the halfway point of their innings, Root put on a crucial 95 for the seventh wicket with Woakes (33).Root brought up the England 200, and his century an over either side of Woakes wicket - top-edging Rabada behind - in the 42nd. Joe Root was in sensational form, hitting his second straight century in the series A useful cameo from Adil Rashid (39 off 26 balls) helped England up to 262 before he was the last wicket to fall, a tiring Root having scooped to fine leg, andd Stuart Broad picking out long-on.ddddddddddddroads return with the ball got off to a better start, bowling Hashim Amla in the first over as the opener chopped onto his stumps.The in-form Quinton de Kock (27) - scorer of two centuries in the series - and Faf du Plessis (34) recovered from the early blow, before a break for bad light due to a floodlight failure seemed to disrupt the South African innings. Stuart Broad celebrates the wicket of Hashim Amla in his first over back in ODI cricket Stokes (2-46) and Woakes (1-42) both struck with the score on 63, Stokes benefitting from another drag on by De Kock, and Woakes sending the stumps splattering when clean bowling Du Plessis with a beauty.Drops of JP Duminy (31) by Hales on one and AB de Villiers (36) by Roy on nine, as well as a strong lbw shout against Duminy being turned down, denied England further breakthroughs and De Villiers in particular cashed in after his reprieve.He blasted Broad (1-55) for a four next ball and then a straight six as the seamer struggled following his early wicket. Chris Woakes celebrates after running out AB de Villiers Woakes eventually dismissed the ever-dangerous De Villiers, running out the South African skipper with a direct-hit and Duminy departed soon after, with no doubt this time as he was trapped lbw by Rashid on the back foot.A couple of terrific catches - Reece Topley (2-39) off his own bowling to remove Farhaan Behardien (38) and Morgan snaffling David Wiese (21) at cover off Stokes - saw England move closer to a series-clinching win. Chris Morris hits out in his match-winning innings Topley removed Rabada for a duck - caught by Root at slip - but Rashid then dropped Morris in the deep in the same over.It proved to be a costly error as Morris struck four sixes and three fours on his way to his match-winning fifty. Although he fell - bowled by Rashids googly - with one run still needed for victory, Tahir tucked away the winning runs next ball.Watch highlights of a thrilling fourth ODI between South Africa and England at 10pm on Sky Sports 3, then join us for the series decider in Cape Town from 7.30am on Sky Sports 2 on Sunday.
