ByBarryWilner TheAssociatedPress HOUSTON Hiseyeson Las Ve- gas, Raiders owner Mark Da- vis says he hasn't shut the door on anything. Oakland, though, might have shut the door on it- self as home for his team. "Oakland was in the driver's seat if they could've put together anything," Davis said Wednes- day at the NFL's fall meetings, after updating his fellow owners on his desire to relocate to the gambling capital. "They came up with nothing. "Las Vegas has already done what it is supposed to do and we have to bring it up to the Na- tional Football League and get permission to move to Las Ve- gas." Nevada lawmakers approved a deal last week that increases hotel taxes in the Las Vegas area to raise $750 million for a sta- dium and more than $400 mil- lion to expand and upgrade the Las Vegas Convention Center. Billionaire casino owner Shel- don Adelson is putting $650 mil- lion toward the project, while the Raiders and the NFL will kick in $500 million. Commissioner Roger Goodell also said the NFL is looking into establishing a developmental league; re-examining the rules for on-field player celebrations; and reopening the labor agree- ment. He said the league is mon- itoring declining TV ratings, too. Several owners insisted it's far too early to reach any conclu- sions in the Raiders' relocation issue, and none of them wanted to touch the relationship an NFL team might have with a casino mogul.

BILL WIPPERT — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde (28) is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a right shoulder injury. By Janie McCauley The Associated Press SANTA CLARA Joshua Garnett is a rookie right guard with one NFL start to his name who is unafraid to get vocal in the huddle and fire up his teammates. San Francisco's first-round pick is making an impression with his work, too. "He listens, he wants to get bet- ter every day he gets out there," re- ceiver Quinton Patton said. "We go in there, he's, 'Hey, I'm up, I'm ready.' He's talkative in the huddle. In the game, 'Let's go, let's get it done.' Com- ing from a rookie, he's dialed in, he's comfortable. That's what you want to feel." Garnett is certainly learning un- der fire, thrown right in during a rough start for San Francisco under first-year coach Chip Kelly. Veteran linemen are sharing their thoughts from film. Garnett wants to offer his support right back. "I feel like I'm part of a unit, like I'm one-eleventh, I'm just one cog in the whole entire machine," he said Wednesday. "Just make sure every- one's kind of feeling that intensity that I'm feeling. As a rookie I know a lot of times you kind of have to tread lightly because you don't want to mess up anyone else's routine and you don't want to say too much be- cause you haven't earned that right yet. But also I just kind of like to, during the games, get a little vocal. If we're going to run the ball, 'Let's go, man,' something quick, easy. Not talking too much but also not saying anything like you're super nervous." Garnett hopes to keep hold of the job after making his first start of the season for San Francisco (1-5) in a 45- 16 loss at Buffalo last week in place of Andrew Tiller. The 49ers traded up to draft the 6-foot-5, 321-pound Garnett 28th overall in the first round out of Stan- ford. He realizes there are major strides still to be made.

THESCORE By Beth Harris The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Anthony Rizzo, Addison Russell and the rest of the Chicago Cubs' bats broke out in a big way. Rizzo homered and ended a postseason slump with three RBIs, Russell's two-run drive highlighted a four-run fourth that stopped Chicago's 21-inning scoreless streak, and the Cubs routed the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-2 on Wednesday to even the NL Championship Series at 2-all. Kenta Maeda is set to pitch for the Dodgers in Game 5 on Thurs- day against Jon Lester. Before the game, manager Dave Roberts said he will not start Clayton Kershaw on short rest after the Los Ange- les ace threw a bullpen session Wednesday. Chicago ensured the NLCS will return to Wrigley Field for Game 6 Saturday. To break out of his prolonged slump, Rizzo used teammate Matt Szczur's bat. "I know Szczur's bat has a lot of hits in it," Rizzo said. "I've done it a few times this year, just switch- ing up the bat, switching up the mindset." Following consecutive shutout losses, the Cubs rapped out 13 hits on an 80-degree night with the warm Santa Ana winds fluttering the flags in center field. Rizzo and Russell had three hits each. Chicago's 3-4-5 hitters — a combined 2 for 32 in the first three games — busted out. Every Cubs starter got at least one hit except Kris Bryant, who walked twice. "Today was a must-win for us," Ben Zobrist said. Los Angeles was limited to six hits and made four errors in a game that dragged on for 3 hours, 58 minutes. Mike Montgomery won in relief of John Lackey, who was chased after consecutive walks opening the fifth. Four days shy of his 38th birthday, Lackey allowed two runs, three hits and three walks. Julio Urias, at 20 years, 68 days the youngest postseason starting pitcher in major league history, gave up four runs and four hits in 3 2/3 innings. He was the third consecutive left-hander to start the series for Los Angeles. Chicago rattled off three straight hits to open the fourth, sparked by Zobrist's leadoff bunt single to third. "With the way that our bats were swinging it at the begin- ning of the game, we just had to do anything we could. That was my thought process," Zobrist said. "I felt like if he threw a strike, I could get one down in a good spot and was able to do it. He took second on Javier Baez's single to left, and Willson Contre- ras followed with a single.
