PHOENIX -- It all comes down to one game. Wholesale Cheap Nike Air Max Shoes .For one of the marbles.Arizona and San Diego enter the final game of the regular season Sunday with identical 68-93 records, and the winner avoids last place in the National League West. The Diamondbacks attempt to avoid finishing in the cellar for the third time in the last four years while San Diego has not finished last since 2011, the last time the D-backs won the division. The teams split their previous 18 games this season.At the same time, several players have personal marks to shoot for.Arizona second baseman Jean Segura had a double and triple Saturday before being removed in the eighth inning and has a career- and NL-high 203 hits this season. He will lead the league in hits and is three short of Luis Gonzalezs franchise record set in 1999.Segura is one of 14 players in major league history with 200 hits, 20 homers and 30 stolen bases in the same season, and he and Houston second baseman Jose Altuve are the only major leaguers with 40 doubles, 20 homers and 30 stolen base this year. Segura is 41/20/33. Altuve is 42/24/30.Segura will play Sundays finale, manager Chip Hale said.Hes fine, Hale said. We were up six at that time and hes played a lot of innings this year, and I didnt feel like he was going to get another at-bat.San Diego first baseman Wil Myers had two hits and scored two runs in Arizonas 9-5 victory Saturday. Myers has 28 doubles, 28 homers and 28 stolen bases, and he is one of three major leagues with 25 homers and 25 stolen bases entering the final game of the season.He went through stretches where he was outstanding, San Diego manager Andy Green said. I think Wil has many more steps in front of him to be as good as he can be. From a base-stealing perspective, he is substantially better than he has been in his career. That has never been a big part of his game at the major league level. There has been considerable work put in.The Angels Mike Trout has 29 homers and 29 stolen bases and Bostons Mookie Betts has 31 homers and 26 stolen bases.Arizonas Paul Goldschmidt and Houstons Altuve could join that group with another homer Sunday. Goldschmidt has 24 homers and a career-high 32 stolen bases after stealing three bases Saturday, and Altuve has 24 homers and 30 stolen bases.Goldschmidt stole third base as part of a double steal in a five-run first inning Saturday, the second of two double steals the Diamondbacks pulled in that inning, and also stole second and third in the fifth inning. His 32 steals are the most by a major league first baseman since Greg Jefferies had 46 for St. Louis in 1993. Goldschmidts previous high was 21 last year.Anytime youre able to do that, steal those bases, it frustrates the other team, Arizona manager Chip Hale said. It frustrates the pitcher, the catcher, the manager, the guy giving the signs. Its frustrating because you work so hard for those things not to happen.The D-backs, who won the first two games of the series, send rookie right-hander Matt Koch (1-1) to the mound for his second major league start Sunday afternoon. He is to oppose right-hander Paul Clemens (4-5).Koch threw five hitless innings in his first start at Washington on Tuesday before giving up a single in the sixth inning. He was removed after issuing a walk because of a blister, and the D-backs are hoping he can give them 85 pitches Sunday before the blister heats up again.Clemens gave up one run in five innings to beat the Dodgers in his last start Tuesday and has allowed three earned runs or fewer in nine of his 11 starts since joining the Padres.

A decision has seemingly been made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not have been an easy one. Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal. http://www.cheapairmaxshoeswholesale.com/ . Fred Couples, captain of the U.S. side, put it all into perspective. "We know whos in charge," he said. COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Texas A&M has had a tough time piling on points late after building a lead this season.The eighth-ranked Aggies know that if they get ahead Saturday against No. 9 Tennessee and let up it probably wont end well for them. Not what the Volunteers have done again and again this year.Tennessees Jauan Jennings grabbed a 43-yard touchdown pass from Joshua Dobbs on the last play of the game to give the Volunteers a 34-31 win over Georgia last weekend and improve to 5-0. The catch came after the Bulldogs took the lead on their own long scoring grab with 10 seconds to play.It was the fourth time in five games that Tennessee has come back from a double-digit deficit to get a victory.Lets just say what it is, Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said. This is a team on paper if you dont watch it you say: `Well, theyve gotten lucky. No, they havent gotten lucky. They have a veteran quarterback that is No. 1 in league for points responsible for. Lets just start there. Whether hes throwing it, hes running it, whatever hes doing hes the No. 1 guy for points in this league. That gives you a chance to have those types of games and to win every game.Texas A&M quarterback Trevor Knight is well-aware of what the Volunteers have done this season and wont be shy about reminding his team of their history if the Aggies build a lead in this matchup of unbeaten teams.Keep your foot on the pedal, dont let up because theres a lot of ball left to play, he said. Its never over until its over especially with the way these guys have battled back throughout this season and thats going to be an emphasis this week. Starting fast and definitely finishing the game.While the Aggies worry about finishing games, the Volunteers are looking to start fast after playing from behind almost every week.With these games coming up, going on the road playing Texas A&M, we need to play four quarters of football, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. Thats paramount. This football team is as talented as any football team in the country.The first quarter has been particularly bad for the Volunteers where theyve been outscored 41-10. Things are much different laate in games where they have a 76-21 advantage in the fourth quarter and overtime combined.

I think when the sun goes down, were a lot better.Some things to know about the Tennessee-Texas A&M game.NO HURD FOR VOLSTennessee will be trying to win this game without its leading rusher. Tennessee athletic department spokesman Ryan Robinson said Friday that running back Jalen Hurd didnt make the trip to Texas A&M and wouldnt be playing due to an undisclosed injury.Hurd has a team-high 407 yards rushing. His absence likely means a greater role for Alvin Kamara, who has rushed for 165 yards on 38 carries this season.PASS-RUSHING FORCESThe game could feature two of the nations top pass rushers in Texas A&Ms Myles Garrett and Tennessees Derek Barnett . Garrett has 27 career sacks and 38 1/2 tackles for losses. Barnett has 24 sacks and 41 1/2 tackles for losses. Barnett has recorded two sacks in each of his last two games.RARE MEETINGThis marks just the third time Tennessee and Texas A&M have faced each other, and its their first regular-season meeting. Tennessee beat Texas A&M 3-0 in the 1957 Gator Bowl and 38-7 in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 1, 2005.INJURY UPDATEHurd isnt the only Tennessee player unavailable Saturday. The Vols also will be missing linebackers Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Darrin Kirkland, Jr. as well as cornerback Cam Sutton because of injuries. Texas A&M starters Garrett, receivers Ricky Seals-Jones and Speedy Noil and offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor all sat out last week because of various injuries. Sumlin refused to comment on the health of any of the players on Tuesday.SCHEDULE WATCHThe Vols get no breather after their visit to College Station. Next weekend, Tennessee gets a visit from top-ranked Alabama and the Crimson Tide will host the Aggies on Oct. 22 in games that will likely go a long way in shaping the race for the SEC championship.---AP Sports Writer Steve Megargee contributed to this report.
