COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Its playoff hopes dashed long ago, Toronto FC hoped to break its latest winless streak with a road win over old rival Columbus on Wednesday night. But the Reds were in no shape to do so. The most porous defence in Major League Soccer conceded an early goal, slogged through the remainder of an ugly first half and ultimately lost to the Crew 2-1. Afterward, Toronto coach Paul Mariner said a lethargic opening was the culprit. "It was the opposite of what I asked for in the dressing room," said Mariner. "It was just not being ready to play." Toronto FC dropped to 5-15-5 and is approaching the brink of playoff elimination in a season lost long ago. The Reds began the season by losing an MLS record nine consecutive games. They are 0-4-1 in their past five after winning a club-record three consecutive games in July. Mariner dropped to 4-6-5 since replacing Aron Winter on June 7. Crew midfielder Eddie Gaven scored in the fourth minute and Frederico Higuain added a goal in the 58th. Toronto forward Luis Silva halved the lead in the 71st during a late surge, but the Reds failed to equalize. "It hurts to (take) a goal early on," Silva said. "I just think we have to start like we ended." Many in a sparse weeknight crowd of 10,049 were still finding their seats when Gaven opened the scoring in the fourth minute. Higuain, a designated player signed last month, had ample time and space at the left edge of the penalty area to feed Gaven at the top of the penalty arc, where the veteran midfielder turned and fired a shot that glanced off Toronto midfielder Andrew Wiedeman. The redirection was slight, but enough to catch Toronto goalkeeper Freddy Hall flat-footed and give the Crew a quick 1-0 lead. Higuain made it 2-0 in the 58th when he ended a scramble in the Toronto penalty area with a right-footed shot from near the penalty spot. It was a disheartening debut for Hall, who was signed July 31 and started in place of Milos Kocic. Kocic had started every previous MLS game for Toronto this season in place of injured No. 1 Stefan Frei. "Milos has been absolutely fantastic for us this season," said Mariner. "Hes come in and done everything we want him to do. But for various reasons, professional reasons and other reasons, he just needed to rest mentally for maybe a game or so." Silva put some late-game pressure on Columbus by scoring after Toronto caught the Crew napping on a restart. Streaking though the centre of the midfield, Silva took a feed from Eric Hassli and finished a breakaway by pulling Crew keeper Andy Gruenebaum off his line and beating him easily with a right-footed finish. "Im just gutted that we didnt get the victory," Hall said. "The second half, we played so well. We controlled it and dictated the pace of the game. Its heartbreaking." Toronto has conceded a league-high 45 goals. Columbus (9-8-6) is in the midst of a crucial late-season stretch of games. It strengthened its playoff standing in a tight Eastern Conference race. The Crew also took back the Trillium Cup trophy, awarded annually to the winner of the season series since 2008. The Crew won the series opener on March 31 at Toronto and has won the trophy in four of the five seasons it has been contested. Last nights game was originally scheduled for Aug. 11 but was postponed so the Crew could attend the funeral of rookie midfielder Kirk Urso. Urso, 22, collapsed in a Columbus bar and later died on Aug. 5. cheap jerseys . -- Stephen Curry took some good-natured ribbing from his Golden State teammates following an impromptu celebration near the bench late in fourth quarter against Los Angeles. wholesale jerseys . -- Isaiah Pead took a stutter step forward, then raced to the left sideline and travelled 60 yards up the field before finally getting tripped up by a leg tackle. http://www.cheapnfljerseyschinaplay.com/ .

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Edinson Volquez overcame a shaky start to pitch a season-high seven innings of one-run ball to lead Cincinnati past Chicago, 8-2, in the second of three games at Great American Ball Park. Volquez (4-2), who was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday after being sent down on May 23, allowed seven hits and two walks while striking out five. Miguel Cairo added his second career grand slam for the Reds, who won for the fifth time in eight games. I got lucky he threw the pitch I was looking for. He threw it over the plate and I hit it hard. I was trying to drive the ball hard somewhere. I was just lucky, said Cairo. Doug Davis (0-5) took the loss, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks in 4 1/3 innings as the Cubs had their season-high losing streak extended to eight games. We cant get any follow through. We havent had a game like earlier in the year when we had big wins and were talking about contributions from all over the place. That hasnt been the case here lately, said Cubs manager Mike Quade. Davis has dropped decisions in each of his five outings since joining the Cubs after spending last season with the Milwaukee Brewers. Aramis Ramirez led off the Chicago second with a double and Blake DeWitt followed with a double of his own to plate Ramirez. A Geovany Soto single and a Kosuke Fukudome walk loaded thhe bases with two outs, but Darwin Barney hit a weak grounder to second to end the inning and keep it a one-run game.dddddddddddd Paul Janish singled to start the third and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Volquez. Drew Stubbs then doubled to score Janish and tie the game at one. The Reds took a 2-1 lead in the fourth after Jay Bruce hit a lead-off single, moved to third on a base hit by Cairo and crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Ramon Hernandez. Cincinnati loaded the bases with no outs in the fifth after back-to-back singles by Volquez and Stubbs and a walk by Brandon Phillips. Joey Votto then earned a free pass to bring in Volquez. Next, Davis fanned Bruce on a high fastball before being taken off the mound. Rodrigo Lopez replaced Davis and gave up a sacrifice fly to deep right field by Jonny Gomes that allowed Stubbs to take home. A Cairo groundout to second ended the inning and it was a 4-1 game. The Reds put the game away in the seventh on Cairos grand slam to left field off of reliever John Grabow. Chicago added a run in the ninth on a pinch-hit RBI single by Lou Montanez. GAME NOTES:The Reds also optioned pitcher Daryl Thompson to Louisville on Tuesday to make room for Volquez...Bruce extended his hit streak to nine games...Volquez is now 4-0 in six career starts against the Cubs...Chicago has been outscored 52-22 during their losing streak. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
