LONDON -- As the goals have dried up for Jamie Vardy at Leicester, another former non-league striker has embarked on a hot scoring streak for a Premier League club. Custom Celtics Jersey China .Charlie Austin made it seven goals in six games in all competitions for Southampton with a double in Sundays 3-1 victory over Burnley that took the south-coast club up to eighth in the standings.In a career that began outside Englands four professional leagues, Burnley provided the 27-year-old Austin with one of his stepping stones to the worlds richest soccer competition.Austin was a bricklayer working a full day on a building site before playing on a part-time basis for Poole Town in the ninth tier until 2009. It took third-tier club Swindon to pluck Austin from obscurity, for Burnley to take him up another league and then QPR to give him a shot at the Premier League.Still, doubts persisted around Austins fitness. Southampton was able to snap him up for 4 million pounds (then $6 million) in January. What a bargain that now seems.The case looks increasingly compelling for Austin to return to the England squad for the first time since 2015 when he failed to make his international debut. Particularly if England interim manager Gareth Southgate is comparing Austins form with Vardys for Leicester when it comes to selecting players to face Scotland and Spain next month.After a 24-goal haul last season, Vardy has only scored twice this campaign and his goal drought reached seven matches on Saturday as Leicesters feeble title defense continued with a loss at Chelsea.Like Southampton on Sunday, Leicester also put three past Burnley a month ago but Austin -- unlike Vardy -- seized on the opportunity to punish the struggling Premier League newcomers defense.Austins first goal, in the 52nd minute, was down to persistence rather than finesse. Virgil van Dijk met Dusan Tadics corner with a header across the face of goal to Austin. The first shot was blocked on the line by Sam Vokes, but Austin followed up by poking the ball into the net.After Nathan Redmonds low volley from the edge of the area doubled Southamptons lead, Austin was on target from the penalty spot in the 66th minute following Johann Berg Gudmundssons push on Sam McQueen.The one blot on the afternoon for the Saints was Burnley becoming the first team to score against them in 612 minutes when Vokes scored a late penalty.But Austin and his teammates will travel to Italy full of confidence for one of the biggest games in the clubs history -- a Europa League game against Inter Milan on Thursday.This team will always create chances, its a dream for any striker, Austin said. I am in the right place at the right time.But he is not guaranteed a place in the starting lineup in Milan.Its important he doesnt play all the games from the start, manager Claude Puel said. Its important you dont lose Charlie, its important hes available every time, to keep a good physical level for every player.Charlie is not an endurance player. Its important to keep him with his qualities and we can change the team every game. Its not possible, for me, for a player to start all the games every three days.Burnley is only a point above the relegation zone, with seven points from its first eight games back in the Premier League.---MIDDLESBROUGH 0, WATFORD 1The days first Premier League game lacked the entertainment provided later by Southampton, with the only memorable moment coming with Jose Holebass eye-catching goal.The 32-year-old Greek midfielder sent a shot from the edge of the penalty area soaring into the top of the net in the 54th minute at the Riverside stadium in northeast England.Watford climbed to 10th place as Middlesbrough remained winless at home this season since returning to the Premier League and only out of the relegation zone on goal difference.

"Demp (Ryan Dempster) came out before he went to the bullpen and was just yelling that they lost. PHOENIX -- Double-digit strikeouts in a game is nothing new for Max Scherzer. Hitting a two-run single is much more rare.Scherzer was strong on the mound with 11 strikeouts in eight innings, but his sixth-inning base hit with two outs and the bases loaded helped lead the Washington Nationals to a 8-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday.Scherzer (12-6) and his manager, Dusty Baker, said the Nationals work on their hitting almost daily.I really take pride in being able to move runners and help the team, Scherzer said. Any time you can do something at the plate to help your team, it really puts a smile on everybodys face.Washington earned its fourth road series sweep of the season and first since May 30-June 1 at Philadelphia. Arizona lost its fourth straight and sixth in seven games, and fell to 0-9 in Wednesday games at home this season.Scherzer allowed three runs on four hits, giving up two homers, and walked one. He is 3-0 in four starts against his former team, which drafted the four-time All-Star and former Cy Young Award winner No. 11 overall in 2006.He gave us quality. He only made two mistakes, Baker said.Daniel Murphys sixth-inning solo home run broke a 1-1 tie before Scherzer bounced a single up the middle with the bases loaded and two outs, driving in Anthony Rendon and Danny Espinosa. Scherzer battled back from an 0-2 count.I didnt make a pitch. I threw a cutter that just ran in like a fastball and he put a good swing on it and got it back up the middle and got a hit, Diamondbacks starter Zack Godley said of Scherzers single. Tip your hat to him. He put a good at-bat together, I just didnt make my pitch.Murphy, the NLs leading hitter with a .358 average, has hit safely in 17 of 19 games and has seven home runs in that span, 20 on the season.Fortunately we were able to get some good pitches to hit that third time through the lineup and put some good swings on him (Godley), Murphy said.Scherzer heldd the Diamondbacks hitless for four innings, but David Peralta led off the bottom of the fifth with a double to left field. Celtics Jerseys China. . Peralta advanced to third on a wild pitch, and with one out, scored when Bryce Harper dropped a sliding catch of Brandon Drurys shallow fly ball to right.That tied the game at 1, after Trea Turners second career home run and first of 2016 came with one out in the top of the third.The Nationals went ahead 4-1 in the sixth before Jake Lambs solo shot in the bottom of the inning. It was Lambs second homer in as many days.Yasmany Tomas cut the Nationals lead to one with a home run in the seventh, the first time in his career hes gone deep in back-to-back games.The Nationals scored four runs in the ninth off Arizonas troubled bullpen, on Espinosas RBI ground-rule double, a walk and Clint Robinsons two-run pinch-hit single.Godley (3-2) allowed four runs and eight hits with seven strikeouts and a walk in six innings.I was happy with our offensive performance against him (Scherzer), Arizona manager Chip Hale said. Hes one of the better guys in the league and one of the best competitors. The game was very well played for the eight innings, and then we just couldnt hold them in the top of the ninth.TRAINERS ROOMNationals: Harper returned to the lineup after missing Tuesdays game because of illness. ...
