West Indies produced a disciplined bowling performance to open their tri-series with a 62-run victory over Sri Lanka in Harare. Ben Powers Jersey . Despite being bowled out for just 227, Shannon Gabriel and debutant Ashley Nurse took three wickets apiece as Sri Lanka crumbled to 165 all out in the 44th over. It could have been worse for Graham Fords side, having been 79-6, but a quick-fire 45 from Sachith Pathirana and 31 from Shehan Jayasuriya threatened to take the match close before Gabriel returned to clean up the tail.The Windies had also struggled with the bat earlier in the day, with openers Johnson Charles, Kraigg Brathwaite and Evin Lewis falling cheaply.Shai Hope made a patient 47, however, while Johnathan Carter hit 54 in partnership with another debutant Rovman Powell, whose 29-ball 44 helped Jason Holders men get past 200.Dhananjaya de Silva, who starred in Mondays win over Zimbabwe, fell for just three as the Sri Lanka batsmen struggled to deal with the pace of Holder (2-16) and the lower-order was left with too much to do as the West Indies claimed an impressive win.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday and get the first six months half price! Peter Boulware Jersey . Still, Encarnacion felt a sense of relief. He felt a pop just before crumpling to the ground after running out a groundball in the first inning of Saturdays game. It could have been worse. “Its going to take maybe two weeks,” said Encarnacion. “It depends how Im going to be and how Im going to be day after day, feeling better or not. Priest Holmes Jersey . Granlund scored 2:04 into the first period. Max Reinhart, on his first NHL shift of the season, neatly stripped the puck from Zack Smith at the Senators blue-line. As he moved in, his attempted shot deflected into the slot where Granlund buried a shot past Craig Anderson.MINNEAPOLIS -- Josh Collmenter sympathized with the Minnesota Twins after stifling their batters. "Sometimes you can get them to take not desperation swings, but almost frustrated swings just because they want to hit something," the Arizona left-hander said after holding the Twins to two runs and five hits in the Diamondbacks 6-2 win Monday night. Collmenter and the last-place Diamondbacks certainly know that feeling well. For one night anyway, they were able to reverse the roles as Collmenter pitched six strong innings for his career-best 11th win, Mark Trumbo homered and the Diamondbacks snapped their six-game losing streak. One of the teams few bright spots, Collmenter (11-8) has allowed two runs or fewer in his last six starts, matching the longest streak of his career. Hes 3-1 during that span and should get at least one more start before Arizonas otherwise dismal season ends. "Try to make it an even dozen I guess," Collmenter said. Trumbos two-run shot off Ricky Nolasco (5-12) capped a five-run fifth for the Diamondbacks, who are 7-11 in interleague play. Nearly all the hitters in Minnesotas lineup faced Collmenter for the first time in their careers, and it showed. The right-hander gave up five hits, struck out five and breezed through the first two innings before giving up an RBI single to Chris Herrmann in the third. Kurt Suzuki doubled off Collmenter in the seventh and scored on an RBI single by Josmil Pinto off reliever Oliver Perez. That was all the Twins could manage against Collmenter, and Minnesota reached 90 losses for the fourth straight year since winning the AL Central in 2010. Arizona batted around in the fifth against Nolasco, who hasnt won since July 1 and is 0-5 in eight starts since coming off the disabled list last month. Nolasco allowed five runs and nine hits while striking out five in 4 2-3 innings. He has six straight losses in his last nine starts. ";Theres nothing I can do thats going to make me OK for the off-season," Nolasco said. Todd Heap Jersey. "Its been a terrible year. Just trying to finish healthy." Didi Gregorius had an RBI double and scored on a wild pitch to give the Diamondbacks a 3-1 lead. Two batters later, with A.J. Pollock on base, Trumbo sent a slider from Nolasco 407 feet into the right-centre seats to make it 5-1. Trumbo is hitting .289 with three doubles, four homers and 16 RBIs in his last 11 games. "You get some results it helps you be more confident and hes swinging the bat pretty dangerously right now," manager Kirk Gibson said. BATTERS INTERFERENCE David Peralta was called out for batters interference in the fifth when home plate umpire Gary Cederstrom said he stood in front of Suzuki as Pollock slid into second. Pollock stole second on Trumbos subsequent at-bat -- not that it mattered anyway with Trumbos homer. "Suzuki took it right off the finger pretty good," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. TRAINERS ROOM Diamondbacks DH Aaron Hill dislocated the tip of his right pinky finger sliding into home in the eighth and is day-to-day. Hill was icing the finger after the game and said it felt good. "My right hand went right in the hole there, its kind of, why not, huh?" he said with a laugh. GREAT GREGORIUS Gregorius had three doubles after starting the day with six on the season. He went 3 for 4 with an RBI to raise his batting average to .220. Gregorius has reached base in seven of his last nine games. "It felt better because we got a W so as long as you can contribute and help the team one way or the other, that always helps," Gregorius said. UP NEXT Diamondbacks LHP Andrew Chafin (0-0) tries for his first win in his third-career start. Chafin has a 1.64 ERA in two starts. Hell face Twins RHP Kyle Gibson (12-11), who is 0-4 with a 7.59 ERA in four career interleague games. ' ' '
