LOS ANGELES -- Yasiel Puig extended his career-best hitting streak to 12 games with his third home run in four days, a go-ahead three-run shot, and drew a bases-loaded walk in the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5 win over the Florida Marlins on Monday night. Dan Haren (5-1) overcame a shaky start following his 3-2 loss at Washington last Wednesday, allowing three runs and seven hits over seven innings without walking a batter after losing his previous four decisions against the Marlins. The right-hander is 6-2 lifetime against Miami, the only other victory coming on a four-hit shutout in July 2009 with the Arizona Diamondbacks at Phoenix. Brian Wilson inherited a 6-3 lead from Haren and promptly gave up a leadoff walk to Christian Yelich and a home run by pinch-hitter and former Dodger Reed Johnson on the next pitch. But Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth for his 12th save, one day after he was charged with three runs in the 10th inning of a 7-4 loss to San Francisco. Yelich helped stake Tom Koehler (3-3) to a 3-1 lead with a solo homer in the third, but the Marlins right-hander never made it through the fourth. He walked No. 8 hitter Drew Butera, then Dee Gordon with two outs, and Puig drove the next pitch into the pavilion seats in left-centre for his sixth home run to give Los Angeles a 4-3 lead. Koehler gave up four runs, six hits and five walks in 3 2-3 innings. In his previous two starts, he allowed no runs and five hits over 15 innings, beating the Dodgers 6-3 at Miami and following up with a no-decision against the New York Mets. Los Angeles added two more runs in the fifth, including an RBI single by Andre Ethier after Matt Kemp was grazed on the helmet by Henry Rodriguezs pitch and stole second on the right-handers next delivery to Ethier. Rodriguez also forced in a run with his bases-loaded walk to Puig. Kemp, playing in his 1,000th regular-season game, singled leading off the second inning and stole second before Haren drove him in from third with a single that tied the score at 1. Yelich drove a 3-2 pitch to left-centre in the third for his fourth homer, giving the Marlins a 2-1 lead. It was the first of four consecutive hits against Haren, including an RBI single by Giancarlo Stanton that extended his career-best hitting streak to 14 games. But Jarrod Saltalamacchia grounded into an inning-ending double-play. Haren allowed only one more hit after that -- a leadoff double in the sixth by Stanton. First base umpire Laz Diaz, who was admonished by Major League Baseball last week for his role in the ejections of New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi on May 5 against the Angels had a call of his overturned in the Marlins first inning. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly challenged Diazs ruling that Stanton was safe, after Haren took the toss from Adrian Gonzalez on Stantons grounder and stepped on the bag a split-second before the runner did. Replays confirmed that Mattingly was correct, and Stanton had to settle for a run-scoring groundout, which helped increase his major league-leading RBIs total to 42. NOTES: Eighteen years ago this month, Marlins third base coach Brett Butler learned that he had tonsil cancer while playing for the Dodgers. This was his first visit to Chavez Ravine in a major league uniform since 2005, when he was the Diamondbacks first base coach. ... Dodgers 3B Juan Uribe, who missed the previous three games because of a sore right hamstring, took batting practice with his teammates and was declared "available in different roles" by Mattingly. But he remained on the bench. ... Twelve of Puigs 26 big league homers have come on the first pitch. ... Kemp had a career-high 40 stolen bases in 2011 before injuries to his left hamstring and left ankle limited him to a combined 179 games in 2012 and 2013. This was only the second time he has two steals in a game since Aug. 11, 2012, at Miami. Old Skool Pas Cher . This is Lowry’s third time winning the award in his career.

Basket Old Skool Pas Cher . PAUL, Minn. Old Skool France . Louis Blues are reportedly taking restricted free agent forward Vladimir Sobotka to arbitration.NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Jake Locker was the Titans starting quarterback. Then he was benched, forced to watch a rookie take his job. It has made this season one of Lockers toughest challenges.If that wasnt enough, due to an injury to rookie Zach Mettenberger, Locker is once again Tennessees starter. But with three games left this season and on his contract, Locker doesnt see it as an audition for another team — to him, its simply another chance to play with his teammates.Definitely I think that when you get caught up spending too much time on the future, you forget to cherish the moments that you have right now right in front of you, and thats what Im excited about, Locker said. I built a lot of relationships in this locker room, and ... Im looking forward to the opportunity to compete with these guys to end out the year.Locker was drafted eighth overall in 2011 to be the Titans quarterback for years to come. Injuries keeping him off the field, including two in the span of three games, prompted first-year coach Ken Whisenhunt to switch to the rookie Zach Mettenberger.But the rookie aggravated a sprained right shoulder last week when sacked for the fifth time. Whisenhunt and Mettenberger both say they hope the rookie can play again this season with time running out. So barring an impressive recovery, its Lockers time once again.Locker isnt rusty, having finished the last two games once Mettenberger was hurt. For the season, Locker has thrown for 936 yards completing 59.3 per cent of his passes with five touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also has been sacked 14 times, including three after replacing Mettenberger in last weeks 36-7 loss to the Giants.Titans offensive co-ordinator Jason Michael said Thursday that Locker never batted an eye since being benched, and the coach ccredited Lockers professionalism for how he helped Mettenberger as the backup.ddddddddddddWith the Titans offensive line bruised and battered with both tackles missing the last two games, Lockers mobility could be a big advantage Sunday against the New York Jets (2-11). Left tackle Taylor Lewan couldnt practice Thursday with a sprained left ankle, while right tackle Michael Ohers left toe is so bad he got a second opinion Tuesday.We probably wont know for sure until Saturday whos going to actually line up for us, Whisenhunt said.Locker still ranks third in rushing for the Titans running 20 times for 135 yards despite not playing seven games. He ran only three times last year when the Titans beat the Jets 38-13, but Locker threw for three touchdowns. Jets coach Rex Ryan says he had been hoping to see the rookie quarterback rather than the very athletic Locker.He really carved us up, Ryan said. Again, we havent forgotten that, thats for sure.Locker had to be taken off the field on a stretcher with an injured hip and knee after bouncing between Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson and Quinton Coples. Locker is feeling very healthy right now and will be ready to run.Its something that God gifted me with, and when the opportunity presents itself Im going to take advantage of that, Locker said. So maybe itll slow their rush down a little bit. If so, thatd be something that is hopefully beneficial for us.Notes: S Michael Griffin (back) returned to practice Thursday, though he was limited along with OT Byron Stingily (ankle) and WR Kendall Wright (right hand). LB Kam Wimbley (left hamstring) and S Daimion Stafford also did not practice.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Teresa M.
