(oblique) allowed a homer in an inning of work.Rockies: OF Gerardo Parras sprained left ankle felt a little stiff, after a recent work
OXFORD, Miss. -- No. 19 Mississippi got exactly what it needed Saturday in a relatively boring, lopsided victory.Playing just five days after an emotional loss to Florida State, quarterback Chad Kelly threw for 219 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Rebels to a 38-13 victory over Wofford of the Football Championship Subdivision level.Ole Miss (1-1) didnt look tired despite the short turnaround, scoring on all four of its first-half drives to take a 24-3 halftime lead. The Rebels didnt need to punt until late in the third quarter when the game was well in hand.I thought our kids came out with an edge, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. Especially on offense.Kelly completed short touchdown throws in the first half to Markell Pack, D.K. Metcalf and Quincy Adeboyejo, and Gary Wunderlich made a 40-yard field goal as the Rebels methodically moved the ball against the overmatched Terriers.It was an efficient, mistake-free performance from Kelly, who threw three interceptions and lost a fumble in the Florida State loss. He completed 20 of 27 passes against Wofford.We were anxious to get that first win, Kelly said.The only bad news for the Rebels was when Metcalf, a 6-foot-4 freshman who has quickly earned a role as one of the teams top receivers, broke his left foot in the second quarter. He also caught a touchdown pass in the Florida State game.Freeze said he wasnt sure how much time Metcalf would miss, but its possible the injury could end his season.Ole Miss has already struggled with injuries this year. Starting cornerback Kendarius Webster and running back Eric Swinney both tore knee ligaments in the Florida State game and are done for the season.Ole Miss announced a crowd of 64,232, which is a stadium record. The Rebels spent about $60 million on offseason renovations to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, which included roughly 5,000 new seats after bowling in the north side of the stadium.Wofford (1-1) moved the ball effectively at times, but couldnt find the end zone until the fourth quarter, when quarterback Brad Butler ran for a 17-yard touchdown.SAVING PATTERSON?Freeze pulled a minor surprise on Saturday when he used redshirt freshman Jason Pellerin as the backup quarterback instead of true freshman Shea Patterson. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Pellerin completed 2 of 3 passes for 23 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also ran for a touchdown.Patterson was widely regarded as one of the nations top quarterback recruits last year, but Freeze left open the possibility that Patterson might redshirt this fall in order to save him for future seasons when Kelly, a senior, is no longer with the program.Hes certainly talented enough to play, Freeze said. But we discussed it this week, and playing him in mop-up duty is probably not the smartest thing at this juncture.QUOTABLEWofford coach Mike Ayres, who is in his 29th season leading the program, had a unique way of describing his teams growth so far this season: Were close. Were like that fat guy thats got one leg over the fence and hes close. Hes working to get that second leg over. Its tough, but its not quite there. Thats where we are. We didnt have a great day.THE TAKEAWAYWofford: The Terriers triple-option offense was decent, but finding the end zone was difficult against an SEC defense. Wofford has a 1-19 record against Football Bowl Subdivision teams.Ole Miss: The Rebels got what they needed -- an easy win. Now they can turn their attention to a marquee SEC game against Alabama in Oxford next weekend.UP NEXTWofford: The Terriers return home to face Johnson C. Smith.Ole Miss: The Rebels host Alabama after beating the Tide in each of the past two seasons.-----Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP .

The bullpen made it hold up to make a winner out of Tyler Anderson (2-3), who ran into trouble in the seventh and surrendered three of his four runs.Reliever Adam Ottavino got two outs in the seventh with the tying run on third. Motte allowed a leadoff triple to Evan Longoria in the eighth before striking out the side.Adrenaline is kind of what drives me, Motte said. I love those situations, not that I want to go out there and do it every single time.Ottavino looked like his old self in his most meaningful performance since being activated from the 60-day DL on July 5. He missed most of last season after Tommy John surgery.We were able to do a good job, Ottavino said. Motte did a great job behind me. That was the story of the game.No arguments from the Rays.Weve got to find a way to get those guys in, Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said. The guys know that. Theyre doing everything they could to get the big hit, the big fly ball, it just didnt happen. I think you saw Motte dial it up there.The Rockies added two runs in the eighth and Carlos Estevez closed it out in the ninth for his sixth save.Drew Smyly (2-11) had another rough outing, surrendering five runs in five innings to remain winless over his last 10 starts.I didnt pitch very well today, Smyly said.Tampa Bays 11th straight road loss is the third-longest streak in team history. The club record is 13 in a row in 2002.Storys homer gave the Rockies a four-run cushion, which appeared more than enough for Anderson. The lefty surrendered an RBI triple to Longoria in the first inning -- after a 32-minute rain delay before first pitch -- but setttled in until the wheels came off in the seventh.dddddddddddd In the inning, Tim Beckham had an RBI triple, followed by a run-scoring single by Luke Maile and an RBI double from Nick Franklin.Exit, Anderson. Enter, Ottavino.With a runner on third, Ottavino struck out Logan Forsythe and got Kevin Kiermaier to ground out and end the threat.Then, it was Mottes turn. After Longoria lined a triple to the deep center, Motte struck out former Rockies outfielder Corey Dickerson swinging, followed by Logan Morrison and Steven Souza Jr. on called third strikes.Unbelievable, said Anderson, who allowed four runs in 6 1/3 innings for his second straight win. If you want to win games, you have a bullpen like that.That was pretty special tonight.TRAINERS ROOMRays: INF Steve Pearce (strained right hamstring) is expected to be activated from the DL on Tuesday. ... RHP Chase Whitley threw a scoreless inning for Class A Charlotte on Monday in his first game since Tommy John surgery early last season.

He didnt have a setback, want to make that clear, Weiss added.FAMILIAR FACESDickerson never really got to say goodbye to his Colorado teammates after he was traded to Tampa Bay on Jan. 28 for reliever Jake McGee. So Dickerson wandered over the Rockies way Monday.It was pretty good to say, `Whats up? and be able to see old faces, said Dickerson, who didnt start. Im pretty close to all of them. It will be cool to compete and play against them.McGee felt the same way about his Tampa Bay buddies.I have a new pitch Ill show them, he joked.UP NEXTTampa Bay lefty Blake Snell (1-4) makes his first interleague start Tuesday at Coors Field.
