CINCINNATI -- Billy Hamilton and Dee Gordon first met as prospects in the Arizona Fall League on their way to the majors. The two speedsters, who are now vital batters at the top of their respective lineups, will have a reunion over the next four days in Cincinnati.Hamiltons Reds host Gordon and the Miami Marlins for the first contest of a four-game series Monday night at Great American Ball Park. Left-hander Brandon Finnegan (7-8, 4.45 ERA) is due to pitch for the Reds, while right-hander David Phelps (5-6, 2.40) makes his third start for the Marlins since being moved into the rotation on Aug. 5.Gordon and Hamilton didnt see each other when the Marlins swept a three-game series in Miami leading into the All-Star break. Gordon was serving an 80-game suspension for violating Major League Baseballs performance-enhancing drug program. In the 15 games since his return, Gordon is hitting .321 with seven stolen bases.Hamilton leads the majors with 51 steals. He is the first player in the major leagues since Michael Bourn (2009-11) to have at least 50 stolen bases in three consecutive seasons, and hes the first Reds player to accomplish the feat since Joe Morgan did it five straight seasons (1972-76).Hamiltons giving himself the opportunities for those steals by getting on base at the highest rate in his career. His OBP is up to .318 after going 3-for-4 against Milwaukee on Sunday, marking his 22nd multi-hit game of the season.Since the All-Star break, Hamilton is hitting .324 with 21 runs scored, five doubles, one triple, three RBI, 29 steals and 12 walks. The Reds (48-68) have gone 16-11 in that span, winning seven of the nine series theyve played.Its not as much the stolen bases as it is just how he affects everything else during the game, Brewers manager Craig Counsell told MLB.com about Hamilton. Does he affect the pitcher? Thats a big part of what we believe in with the running game, is, Can we affect the pitcher? Can we change his delivery? Can we affect his stuff to the hitter?Miami (61-56) ended a three-game losing streak with a 5-4 win against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. The Marlins are still 8 1/2 games behind Washington in the NL East but are in the thick of the NL wild card race, seeking the franchises first playoff appearance since 2003.Staying in the race with St. Louis, Pittsburgh and the New York Mets got tougher on Sunday when the team placed right fielder Giancarlo Stanton (groin) and pitcher Adam Conley (finger tendonitis) on the 15-day disabled list. An MRI revealed Stanton has a Grade 3 groin strain, putting the rest of the season in jeopardy for him.The best-case scenario is a six-week return, Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill said Sunday. Theres still an opportunity to get (Stanton) back before the end of the season, but it was a significant injury.Stanton has 25 home runs, 70 RBI and a slugging percentage of .497 this season.Youre disappointed, but its one of those things that you talk about as a ballclub from spring training forward, said Marlins manager Don Mattingly. Nothing can get in our way. Youve just got to move forward.Phelps had 50 relief appearances before starting at Colorado on Aug. 5.Finnegan will be making his 24th start of the season. In his last three starts, hes allowed 12 hits and just three runs in 18 innings. Finnegan has thrown 129 1/3 innings this season, and the Reds are keeping an eye on that total as the end of their season approaches.We could use off days and extra starters in September to give guys longer breaks and allow them to stay in the rotation, Reds manager Bryan Price said. If we stayed with a five-man rotation, at some point the innings will accumulate where he would finish the season in the bullpen. Custom Oklahoma City Thunder Jerseys .

The four-time world champion has been forced to retire from wrestling on health grounds, meaning he will be unable to add to a list of accolades that is topped by his against-the-odds triumph at WrestleMania 30.As Bryan contemplates his next move, lets reflect on his highlights in a WWE squared circle…Winning the United States Title, Night of Champions 2010When Bryan began his WWE tenure as a rookie on NXT, he was mentored by The Miz. The Awesome Ones mode of mentoring was a bizarre one, belittling Bryan at every opportunity and, at some points, beating him up. The animosity carried on way after The Submission Specialists NXT exit and onto the main roster, heating up further when Bryan took Mizs place on Team WWE in a match against his former Nexus colleagues at the 2010 edition of SummerSlam. The feud led to a United States Title bout at Night of Champions, with the fan favourite emerging victorious when he submitted his opponent with the LeBell Lock, a move that soon became known as the Yes! Lock, to snare his first championship in WWE.Becoming World Heavyweight Champion, TLC 2011Bryan was always circling the world-championship picture after winning the Money in the Bank briefcase in June of 2011 and chose to cash in his contract at Tables, Ladders and Chairs, moments after Big Show had been cracked into a steel chair by Mark Henry. A delighted Bryan immediately leapt onto the barricade to celebrate with fans but became somewhat of a bad guy during his inaugural reign, regularly resorting to nefarious tactics to keep his prize, although he did show his mettle by overcoming five peers, including Big Show, inside the Elimination Chamber. The Washington natives spell with the belt came to an end at WrestleMania 28, however, when he was pinned by Sheamus after 18 seconds. People didnt forget that quickly… Tagging with Kane, 2012-13As odd a couple as you are ever likely to meet! The Worlds Toughest Vegan, as Bryan referred to himself back then, joined forces with The Big Red Monster after both failed to prise the WWE Title from then champion CM Punk - and they proved a surprisingly successful tandem, in the ring at least! Bryan and Kane won the Tag Team Titles at Night of Champions in 2012 and went on to hold the belts for 245 days, defeating the likes of Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow in the process, while, with Randy Orton alongside, the duo also handed The Shield their first loss in WWE. Success between the ropes, then, but carnage outside of them, with continual bickering, anger management and a HHarry met Sally-esque diner scene standout moments!Stunning John Cena at SummerSlam, 2013Determined to prove he was not the weak link in Team Hell No after they shipped the twin straps to Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, Bryan mixed it with - and beat - the best WWE had to offer in singles matches, knocking off grapplers such as Orton, Kane, Christian and his old nemesis Sheamus.dddddddddddd That run of victories grabbed the attention of WWE Champion John Cena, who handpicked Bryan to be his opponent at SummerSlam. A hugely competitive match ensued, with Bryan securing his second world title and first WWE Championship with a Running Knee. The fact special guest referee Triple H attacked him moments later, allowing Randy Orton to deploy his Money in the Bank agreement to take the belt should not detract from a stellar feat. Bryans Yes-tleMania moment, WrestleMania 30, 2014The McMahon clan did everything they could to keep the world title out off Bryan in the months that followed SummerSlam, including stripping him of the belt when he won it back at Night of Champions due to an alleged fast count from referee Scott Armstrong, and prohibiting him from entering the Royal Rumble. There was no stopping Bryans Road to WrestleMania, though, when he and his fans hijacked an episode of Raw and forced Triple H to agree to fight him at WrestleMania, with the added stipulation that should Bryan win he would be added into the world-tile match between Orton and Batista. Bryan won both bouts, submitting Batista in the main event, to complete the ultimate underdog story in New Orleans.Inter stellar, WrestleMania 31, 2015Bryan was made to vacate the his newly-won world crown after just one title defence, against Kane at Extreme Rules, due to neck surgery, and was subsequently ruled out for the rest of 2014. Bryan returned in early 2015 but saw his hopes of main eventing WrestleMania for the second year in succession end when he suffered an early exit at the Royal Rumble and lost a No 1 contenders match for the WWE World Heavyweight Title to Reigns at Fastlane. However, he was soon placed in Manias multi-man Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Title, in which he unhooked the belt hanging above the ring to become champion, pipping Dolph Ziggler to the prize in what turned out to be his final bout on WWEs biggest stage.Watch WWE Raw, Smackdown and Main Event every week on Sky Sports.
