Ontheair another run in the fourth when Miller doubled, stole third on an overthrown pick-off play and came home on a passed ball. The Falcons would score another run in the fifth when a pair of errors, a sac- rifice fly to deep right and a passed ball allowed Wes Rice to come home. Up 9-2 going into the sixth, the Cardinals needed just three runs to end the game. Miller reached on a walk, stole second, ad- vanced to third on a passed ball and scored on a McFall single to left. McFall moved to sec- ond on a passed ball and Grine was walked, keep- ing the double play open with one out, when a sin- gle to deep left off the bat of Oscar Garcia scored McFall and moved Grine to third. Meeds grounded out to short and Wunsch walked to put runners on the cor- ners with two away as Hay- don stepped into the box. A sharp grounder to the second baseman and a bad throw to first allowed Grine to come across with the winning run on a walk- off error. Haydon got the win with two runs on four hits over six innings, a walk, one hit batter and five strikeouts. The Cardinals (5-7 over- all, 3-2 league) are sched- uled for a rematch with the Falcons (6-12 overall, 1-4 league) at 4 p.m. Friday at Shasta Lake. Corning FROM PAGE 1 It's really what the training staff says and what Steph says about how he's feel- ing." Top-seeded Golden State leads the best-of-seven se- ries 2-0 as it shifts to Hous- ton for the next two match- ups. The Warriors had the day off from practice Tues- day ahead of their flight to Houston on Wednesday. The news about Curry's MRI was huge given the superstar point guard had two surgeries on that ankle in 2011-12. He averaged a league-leading 30.1 points per game this season and does so many other things to make his teammates better and set them up to score. "When Steph goes down, that's obviously not easy to replace, so not one guy's going to come out and do what Steph does for this team," Draymond Green said. "Even if a guy comes out and gets 30, he's still not going to do what or bring what Steph brings to this team. He draws so much attention that he gets other people shots as well. ... I think we're the deepest team in the NBA." Shaun Livingston con- tributed 16 points and six assists playing in Curry's place, while Klay Thomp- son had 34 points and five assists. Andre Iguodala, last year's Finals MVP, added 18 points with four 3-pointers and Green had 12 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists. Yes, a couple of players even referenced that catch phrase "Strength In Num- bers" that blares on those bright yellow T-shirts throughout Oracle Arena. "Obviously when you lose the MVP you've got concern, but we believe in our depth and in our ability to win when we're down a man even if it is Steph," Kerr said. "So, very pleased with the effort. Ob- viously with the outcome. We had a lot of guys just step up and play extremely well." Curry FROM PAGE 1 infraction by Tommy Win- gels at 7:50 of the first al- lowed the Kings to tie it up at 1-1 on the power play af- ter the Sharks grabbed the early momentum by scor- ing the opening goal just 30 seconds into the con- test. Spaling also commit- ted two minor penalties in Game 2 and Tierney spent two minutes in the penalty box that night for a holding infraction. As a result, the Sharks fourth line received just one full shift together af- ter the second period in Game 3. "We want to roll four lines. When you play a long game, you can't put so many minutes on certain guys. It affects guys the rest of the series," Wingels said. "That starts with us (the fourth line) being dis- ciplined, being more cog- nizant with our sticks, and just ultimately being better as a line." After reducing his fourth line's minutes late in Game 3, DeBoer sug- gested he could tweak his lineup for Game 4, turning to veteran forward Dainius Zubrus, who's strength is his intelligent and respon- sible play. "Everything's in play," DeBoer said. "We'll go day to day here." After years of relying heavily on top stars like Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski and Patrick Marleau, the Sharks finished the 2015- 16 season on a 28-12-4 run thanks in large part to the team's newfound depth at forward. DeBoer rolled his four lines rather evenly throughout most of the second half of the season, allowing his top players to stay fresh as the team re- ceived contributions from up and down the lineup on a near nightly basis. In addition to the top line's production, the Sharks received 48 points from Marleau in a depth role this season, 43 points from Joel Ward and 36 points from rookie Joonas Donskoi. Heading into their se- ries with the Kings, the Sharks appeared to have a matchup edge at the bot- tom of the lineup with the speed of Marleau, Matt Ni- eto and Melker Karlsson on the third line and the skill of Tierney, Spaling and Wingels on the fourth. But after three games, DeBoer's Sharks are look- ing eerily similar to the Sharks of yesteryear, lean- ing on the trio of Thornton, Pavelski and Tomas Hertl, who've potted three of the team's five even-strength goals in the series. When asked if he needs to see more from his bot- tom three lines, DeBoer said, "that's an understate- ment." "The big guys are here," he said. "The one thing that we've tried to create here is the depth under- neath (the top line) to be able to support that. For most nights this year, we've got it. I don't think we got enough of it (in Game 3)." Forward Logan Couture said the Sharks forward depth needs to "step up" in Game 4. "Jumbo's line has car- ried us so far," he said. "If you're playing on my line, the third line, the fourth line, you want to step up and do something. You can't sit on the bench and watch Jumbo's line go out there and carry the play. Everyone else has got to step up and do their part."

The two sides scratched out two runs each early, but once the bullpens took over, what little offense the game had seen mostly evaporated. Chasen Shreve, Del- lin Betances and Andrew Miller threw scoreless in- nings in the seventh, eighth and ninth for the Yankees in the wake of starter Mi- chael Pineda, then Johnny Barbato took over for New York and threw a 1-2-3 10th. For the A's, Marc Rzep- czynski pitched out of a two-out, two-on jam in the sixth, before John Axford and Sean Doolittle threw the seventh and eighth without a peep being heard from the Yankees. With Ryan Madson still available to close but no lead to hand to him, A's manager Bob Melvin turned to Rodriguez in the bottom of the ninth. A leadoff single posed a prob- lem until catcher Stephen Vogt threw out pinch-run- ner Jacoby Ellsbury on a steal attempt, and Rodri- guez went on to throw two scoreless innings to get the game to the 11th inning. Oakland starter Eric Surkamp, pitching to keep his spot in the rotation, gave up a quick run in the first, but just one more in his season-best 5.2 innings against the Yankees. More than that, he allowed lead- off hits in the third and fourth without allowing either man to score. One out into the fifth, however, the lefty stum- bled by walking Brett Gardner and being stung by a Starlin Castro dou- ble. That brought up Car- los Beltran, the team's RBI leader who did what RBI leaders do, delivering a sac- rifice fly that put the Yan- kees up 2-1. The A's had stranded a runner at third base with one out in the fifth, but af- ter a Danny Valencia tri- ple, the A's got even when Jed Lowrie shot the gap be- tween first and second base for a single and an RBI that tied the game at 2-all. Lowrie also had a big hand in Oakland's first run, hisone-outsingleinthesec- ond being followed by two- outhitsfromYonderAlonso and Marcus Semien that tied the game at 1-1. Surkamp left in the sixth inning after giving up a two-out single and Valencia contributing a throwing error. Rzepczyn- ski took over and got Brett Gardner to line out, pre- serving the tie. A's reliev- ers have now inherited 23 runners, and none of them have scored, an achieve- ment unmatched in either league this season. It's likely that Surkamp's performance earned him at least one more start. The A's have Jesse Hahn, whose start Tuesday for Nashville was postponed by rain, and hotshot minor league pros- pect Sean Manaea knock- ing on the rotation's door. Hahn has not allowed a run in two Triple-A starts covering a dozen innings while Manaea has a 1.50 ERA in two starts and 17 strikeouts in 12 innings. • Canha had appeared in just four of the A's first 13 games, and for that man- ager Bob Melvin sounds al- most apologetic. "It's tough. He's definitely the guy who is getting the short end of the stick this year," Melvin said after leaving Canha out of the starting lineup for the 11h time in 14 tries Tuesday. "He's just hav- ing a tough time of it right now as far as at-bats, and I don't know what to tell you there." A's FROM PAGE 1 | SPORTS | REDBLUFFDAILYNEWS.COM WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2016 2 B
