Mike Daniels Jersey . After edging out Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton on Friday, Rosberg finished six places and 1.2 seconds ahead of his title rival on Saturday morning at a damp Suzuka after Hamilton ran wide at the second Degner and did not improve his time.There had earlier been less than a tenth in it between Rosberg and Hamilton on the medium tyres, which is likely to be more representative of how they fare in qualifying at 7am BST. Rosbergs quickest time, 1:32.092, was three tenths of a second faster than Malaysia GP victor Daniel Ricciardo, with Sebastian Vettel a further 0.3s back in third.Whens the Japanese GP on Sky F1?Max Verstappen, who complained of traffic everywhere on his final flying lap, was fourth ahead of the second Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen.Raikkonen had set the fastest time of all through the sweeping circuit sector, but encountered Jolyon Palmer approaching the first Degner and ran wide, before bemoaning the f****** Renault for spoiling his lap.But while annoying the Finn, Renault delivered a sudden step forward in performance on the timesheet with Palmer and Kevin Magnussen finishing promising eighth and ninth positions respectively.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Mariners rookie leadoff hitter Brad Miller put on an impressive power display for his hometown fans. Miller homered twice to help Seattle send the Tampa Bay Rays to their sixth straight loss with a 5-4 victory on Tuesday night. Around 50 family members and friends were present to see Miller, who is from the Orlando, Fla. area, play for the first time at Tropicana Field. "It was awesome," Miller said. "Before the game, getting to see, like, every coach Ive ever had since I was 5, and my best friend, my parents. And then to go out there and get things going and finish it off with a win, that was perfect. That was a lot of fun." Miller has four home runs this season, which have come in a pair of two-homer games. He connected for his first two big league homers on July 19 at Houston. "You could hear them, a lot of Miller fans up there," acting Seattle manager Robby Thompson said. Tampa Bay also got two homers from its leadoff hitter, Ben Zobrist. According to the Rays, it is just the third time since 1916, when records are available, that both leadoff hitters had multihomer games. The others were June 5, 1994 (Minnesotas Chuck Knoblauch and Tony Phillips of Detroit) and July 8, 1965 (Houstons Joe Morgan and Felipe Alou of the Milwaukee Braves). After Justin Smoak ended Chris Archers night with a leadoff single in the sixth, Dustin Ackley gave Seattle a 5-4 lead on a triple off Wesley Wright. "That was a big turning point, especially with our bullpen," Ackley said. Zobrist got the Rays even at 4 on his second homer of the game, a two-run shot in the fifth against Erasmo Ramirez (4-0), who allowed four runs and seven hits in 5 1-3 innings. Danny Farquhar pitched the ninth for his fifth save. The Mariners bullpen allowed one hit over 3 2-3 scoreless innings. Smoak had a two-run single through a defensive shift as the Mariners went ahead 3-2 in the fourth. "Thats what happens when youre losing," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "You get plays likee that going in their favour against us. Jace Sternberger Womens Jersey. When you talk about good baseball luck and bad baseball luck, it really exists and right now were getting some very bad baseball luck." Millers second homer of the game, a fifth-inning shot, made it 4-2. According to STATS, Miller is the third player in the divisional era (1969) to record his first four homers on two, two-homer games, joining Torontos J.P Arencibia (2010-11) and Carlos May (1969) of the Chicago White Sox. Archer (6-5), who left his previous start last Wednesday at Arizona after 1 2-3 innings due to right forearm tightness, gave up five runs and nine hits over five-plus innings. "Honestly, Ill take full responsibility for that loss, because if I execute a couple pitches in a couple of key situations, those are the games that we win," Archer said. "We score four runs, we win because we have good pitching." Miller opened the game with his first leadoff homer and the Mariners eighth this season, which extended the team record. Zobrist tied it at 1 in the bottom of the first on his first career leadoff homer and 100th overall in the majors. The Rays took a 2-1 lead later in the inning on James Loneys RBI single. It was the first major league game since Aug. 31, 2011, when St. Louis Rafael Furcal and Milwaukees Corey Hart did it, where both teams hit leadoff home runs, according to STATS. It last occurred in the AL on Aug. 17, 2006, in games between Baltimore (Brian Roberts) and New York (Johnny Damon), and Kansas City (David DeJesus) against Chicago (Pablo Ozuna).
