    VANCOUVER - Backup quarterback Drew Tate scored on two one-yard touchdown runs as the Calgary Stampeders led the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 20-7 through three quarters of the 102nd Grey Cup. Alphonse Areola Jersey .Calgary was up 17-7 at halftime and extended that lead to 13 points when Rene Parades kicked a 20-yard field goal with 4:20 left in the third quarter.Before that drive stalled, Stampeders No. 1 quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell completed 10 straight passes to tie for the third longest completion streak in Grey Cup history.The only other highlight of the quarter came when Hamilton defensive end Justin Hickman laid out Calgary punter Rob Maver on a return.Parades took over punting duties the rest of the way for Maver, who left with an injury to his abdomen.Calgary led 7-0 after the first quarter and doubled that lead when Tate scampered over the goal-line 48 seconds into the second to cap a 10-play, 66-yard drive led by Mitchell that was aided by a pass interference call in the end zone on Tiger-Cats defensive back Brandon Stewart.Hamilton had a chance to get on the board later in the quarter, but Justin Medlocks 26-yard field goal was blocked by Calgary defensive lineman Demonte Bolden.Parades then stretched the advantage to 17-0 with an 11-yard field goal at 12:43 after the ensuing Calgary drive of eight plays and 87 yards stalled deep in Hamilton territory.The Stampeders did a good job containing Tiger-Cats returner Brandon Banks in the first half, but the speedster got behind the Calgary defence for a 45-yard touchdown on a pass from Zach Collaros that cut the deficit to 17-7 with 1:21 left in the half.Tate came in for the short yardage plunge over the goal-line with 9:48 gone in the opening quarter to finish off a five-play, 55-yard drive that included a 28-yard pass from Mitchell to wide receiver Eric Rogers.Hamilton punted on its first four drives and were lucky the deficit wasnt any wider after running back Nic Grigsbys fumble was recovered by Tiger-Cats offensive lineman Brian Simmons for a 29-yard loss.At least two Calgary players had their hands on the ball before Simmons fell on it for Hamilton, which had just four net yards of offence in the quarter.Attendance at B.C. Place Stadium was 52,056 fans — 1,423 short of capacity.The Stampeders finished the regular season 15-3 before downing the Edmonton Eskimos in last weekends West Division final, while the Tiger-Cats topped the Montreal Alouettes to win the East following a 9-9 campaign.Hamilton lost last years Grey Cup to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Regina and have not won the big game since beating Calgary in Vancouver back in 1999.The Stampeders last won in 2008, but lost the 2012 final to the Toronto Argonauts. Antoine Griezmann Jersey . Pinch-hitter Tommy Medica singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and the Padres beat the Seattle Mariners 2-1 in their first home game since Gwynn died of cancer Monday. Steve Mandanda Jersey . The group of Slava Fetisov, Igor Larionov, Vladimir Konstantinov, Sergei Fedorov, & Slava Kozlov were a dominant force for The Wings at one point in the 90s.ST. LOUIS - Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright insists hes fine physically, though hes failed to make it through the fifth inning in both of his post-season starts.St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak said Sunday that he thinks Wainwrights workload is simply taking a toll. The GM said it might be a good idea in the off-season to figure how to cut down on all those innings.From an aggregate standpoint, theres a lot of volume that hes exposed to, Mozeliak said. My view on this is there may be a little bit of fatigue, plus he had a robust September. He carried us.Counting the post-season, Wainwright has thrown 512 2-3 innings the last two years. Thats by far the most in the majors.Now, any breather he can get, he may benefit from, Mozeliak said.In nine post-season innings, Wainwright has surrendered eight earned runs and 17 hits. He blamed mechanical woes and not a chronic elbow issue after losing Game 1 of the NL Championship Series to San Francisco on Saturday night.A big September may have worn down Wainwright. He was 5-0 while totalling 39 innings, although he was scratched from the regular-season finale after the Cardinals cclinched the NL Central. Paul Pogba France Jersey. Wainwright got 10 days rest before starting the NL Division Series opener at Dodger Stadium. He got seven days off before facing the Giants.Wainwright, a 20-game winner for the second time in his career, would be on regular rest for Game 5 Thursday night in San Francisco. Manager Mike Matheny expects Wainwright to take the ball.Matheny said Sunday the pitcher very adamant that this is the best hes felt after a start in a long time, which is great news.Were beyond the Just tell me what I want to hear kind of garbage and this was sincere, Matheny said. I cant wait to watch him pitch again.After Game 1, both Wainwright and Matheny also blamed defensive miscues that greatly contributed to the 3-0 loss. Wainwright said his biggest problem was out-of-whack mechanics.My arm, it doesnt feel great, he said. But it certainly should be a lot better results-wise than that.Michael Wacha would be the most likely Game 5 potential replacement. But last years NLCS MVP has not been used in the post-season after struggling to regain form from a shoulder injury that sidelined him two months. ' ' '
