Clemson, SC (SportsNetwork. Cheap Shoes Wholesale .com) - The Clemson Tigers will play the first of three straight SEC opponents, as they welcome the 18th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks to Littlejohn Coliseum for non-conference action on Sunday. The Tigers have already secured a win over an SEC foe, beating LSU (64-61) in the final round of the Paradise Jam. However, the team has split its two games since that in-season tournament, edging out High Point (62-59) before losing to Rutgers (69-64) as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge last week. The Razorbacks are off to a strong 6-1 start to the year that has put them firmly in the Top-25. However, the team is in unfamiliar territory after winning the first six games of the season, as Arkansas dropped a humbling 95-77 decision at nationally-ranked Iowa State on Thursday as part of the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. Arkansas has won both previous meetings with Clemson, including a 74-68 win at Bud Walton Arena last season. The Cyclones unloaded on the Razorbacks, shooting a scorching 64.3 percent from the floor in the first half to stroll into intermission with a gaudy 52-32 lead. Arkansas was unable to really get back into the contest, as ISU continued its torrid pace, shooting 63.6 percent over the final 20 minutes of play to earn the lopsided win. The loss spoiled a strong performance by Bobby Portis, who finished the game with 19 points and eight rebounds. Alandise Harris netted 15 points, while Rashad Madden and Michael Qualls chipped in with 13 and 10 points, respectively. Scoring points hasnt been a problem at all for Arkansas this year, as the team shoots a healthy .472 from the floor, a number bolstered by an impressive .443 from behind the arc (62-of-140). The result is a scoring average of 88.1 ppg that ranks in the top-10 in the nation. Scoring depth is apparent with four of the teams five starters averaging double figures. Portis is the best of the bunch, shooting .558 from the floor and pacing the team in both scoring (15.1 ppg) and rebounding (6.4 rpg). Qualls (14.6 ppg) is a close second in the scoring column, followed by Anthlon Bell (11.9 ppg) and Madden (11.4 ppg). Clemson lacks the firepower to win a shootout with Arkansas and would be best served to slow things down. The Tigers are averaging a modest 68.4 ppg, but have played tight defense, limiting foes to just 61.3 ppg. Like the Razorbacks, four of Clemsons starters average double digits in points. Guard Damarcus Harrison leads the charge with 11.9 ppg. Center Landry Nnoko (11.6 ppg, 7.9 rpg) and forward Jaron Blossomgame (11.3 ppg, 9.0 rpg) are an effective duo up front. Freshman forward Dante Grantham (10.4 ppg) adds depth. Tied at the half with Rutgers, Clemson just failed to get over the hump against the Scarlet Knights and dropped the five-point affair at home. Harrison led the team in defeat with 15 points. Blossomgame recorded a double- double with 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Rod Hall and Grantham added 10 points each in the loss.

LOS ANGELES -- Josh Rutledge began the season at Triple-A before the Colorado Rockies recalled him less than three weeks ago. The little-used second baseman came up big in a key situation on Sunday to help them win another series. Rutledge hit a three-run homer to support Jorge De La Rosas seven strong innings, and the Rockies beat the error-prone the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 in the rubber game of the three-game set. Colorado was leading 3-1 in the sixth when Rutledge drove Hyun-Jin Ryus 89th and final pitch into the left-field pavilion. Rutledges homer was the 16th of his career, and his first with more than one man on base since his grand slam on Sept. 16, 2012, at San Diego. He came into the game with one RBI in 18 at-bats. "That was a big at-bat by Rut. Obviously, that changes the game there," manager Walt Weiss said. "Hes not playing every day, but hes working hard and staying ready until he gets an opportunity." Nolan Arenado had two hits and extended his career-best hitting streak to 17 games -- the longest active string in the majors. The Gold Glove third baseman also robbed Scott Van Slyke of extra bases, making a diving stop across the foul line behind third base and throwing him out. "I told him that was one of the top three plays Ive ever seen him make. And thats saying something, because we know theres a pretty good collection," Weiss said. "Hes as good as Ive seen, and hes changed several games this year with his defence." The Rockies won their fourth straight series after beating San Diego, Philadelphia and San Francisco. "We feel really good about it," right fielder Brandon Barnes said. "We dont take anything for granted and we keep battling every day." De La Rosa (2-3) allowed a run and four hits. The left-hander has beaten the Dodgers in three straight starts after going 0-8 with a 7.32 ERA in his 10 previous career starts against them. "I just tried to attack the hitters," De La Rosa said. "I know those guys and they know me, too. So I was just trying to make my pitches." Ryus two-out single in the second inning was Los Angeles last hit until Matt Kemp doubled to right-centre with two outs in the eighth against Adam Ottavino. Cheap Shoes. Ryu (3-2) gave up six runs and nine hits in five-plus innings. The Korean-born lefty is 0-2 with a 9.69 ERA in his three starts at Dodger Stadium, but 3-0 with a 0.00 ERA in four road starts. "The key against him is getting a good pitch to hit and being able to drive it," Barnes said. "He likes to stay on the corner, so you just have to try to get a ball up." Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez didnt start because of a bruised right thumb and Justin Turner filled in for him. Turner made one of the Dodgers three errors. They have 26 on the season. "We just need to relax a little bit and play good defence and be the good defensive players we all are," Turner said. "I wouldnt say were pressing, but everyones aware of whats going on. Sometimes I guess you try a little harder and then you get out of character." Turners throwing error in the second inning on De La Rosas two-out single in the hole put runners at second and third. Ryu hit major league batting leader Charlie Blackmon with a pitch and gave up a two-run single by Barnes that put the Rockies ahead 2-1. Three innings later, Ryu committed his first error in 37 major league starts when he bobbled a sacrifice bunt by Barnes and threw too late to first base. Blackmon scored the Rockies third run, beating the throw by Turner after he tagged out Barnes in a rundown on an attempted steal. Kemp also dropped a fly ball for the Dodgers. Adrian Gonzalez had an RBI single in the first to make it 1-0 Los Angeles. Ramirez pinch-hit in the ninth and got a two-out infield single against Chris Martin, who was making his second big league appearance. Gordon followed with a single that loaded the bases for Yasiel Puig, who grounded out to end the game.
