MILWAUKEE -- A night after the Milwaukee Brewers bullpen squandered a game in the ninth inning, the relief corps nailed down a win over the New York Mets. Four relievers held the Mets scoreless over the final 3 1-3 innings, and the Brewers beat the Mets 5-2 on Saturday night. Brewers closer Francisco Rodriguez, who blew a save chance and took the loss against the Mets on Friday night, recorded his 30th save in 34 chances. He gave up a one-out double in the ninth but recorded two strikeouts in the inning. "It was a heart-breaker last night, and I wanted to get back out there as soon as possible," Rodriguez said. "One day this game can put you on top and the next day it can put you in the ground. You have to have a short memory about it." Milwaukee starter Wily Peralta earned his team-leading 12th win but struggled with his command. Peralta (12-6) laboured through 5 2-3 innings, giving up six hits and two runs. He walked three batters and struck out two. He threw 103 pitches and didnt show the command he had in his previous outing on Monday against Cincinnati, when he surrendered three hits and one run in seven innings. "He wasnt on his game," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "The great thing is that he got through the game and kept the run total down and got us innings. I thought he battled every inning." Peralta said he struggled with command of his fastball. "When you have your best its really easy to go through the lineup but when you dont have your best you have to make one pitch at a time to keep your team in the game," he said. Even on an off night, Peralta is difficult to hit, Mets manager Terry Collins said. "His command was off for sure but when youre throwing 97 or 98 miles per hour, thats not easy to hit," Collins said. "We got some guys in good situations but we just couldnt mount anything." Mark Reynolds homered and Jonathan Lucroy, Ryan Braun and Khris Davis added run-scoring hits for NL Central Division-leading Milwaukee. Jonathon Niese (5-6) took the loss, giving up five hits and three runs in five innings. He walked two batters and struck out four. "I thought today I was hitting the spots for the most part," Niese said. "Obviously, the mistakes that I made cost me." The Mets took a 1-0 lead when Curtis Granderson, mired in an 0-for-18 slump, led off the third with a double to centre. He moved to third on a groundout and scored on Lucas Dudas soft single to centre. In his next at-bat, leading off the fifth, Granderson hit a line drive home run down the right-field line to make it 2-0. The Brewers got on the board in the fifth when Jean Segura reached on a fielders choice, stole second, advanced to third on a fly out by Peralta and scored on a wild pitch by Niese. Milwaukee grabbed the lead later in the inning when Lucroy blasted a double to deep centre with two outs, scoring Carlos Gomez, who had singled. Braun followed with an RBI single to give the Brewers a 3-2 edge. Reynolds extended Milwaukees lead to two runs in the sixth with a 420-foot home run to centre off Carlos Torres. The Brewers made it 5-2 in the eighth on Davis RBI double. NOTES: The Mets placed RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka on the 15-day DL with right elbow inflammation.

Rick Reilly, in his column for Sports Illustrated, suggested programming that included Body by Jack, a workout session with Jack Nicklaus in which he takes you through a 30-minute routine you can do without getting out of the cart.Even the players had their doubts.Im always stunned that theres enough golf stuff for 24 hours a day, Paul Goydos said. I would have thought, Do we really need a Golf Channel? Is there enough viewership? Enough material? I thought it would be a tough row to hoe, in my opinion. Theyve proven me wrong.Players today cant imagine life without Golf Channel.Thats all I watch, Jason Day said. I say I dont watch much golf, but I do. Pretty much every day Im watching Golf Channel.The network was launched on Jan. 17, 1995, and could be seen in about 10,000 homes. It began as a premium fee ($6.95) and changed to part of a basic cable package by the end of the year, helping it to reach 1.4 million homes.Twenty years later, Golf Channel can be seen in roughly 120 million homes in 83 countries and is broadcast in 12 languages around the world. Its offices in Orlando, Florida, have more than quadrupled to 160,000 square feet.And there is no shortage of programming.The first tournament it broadcast was the Dubai Desert Classic, which Fred Couples won in 1995. On its 20-year anniversary, Golf Channel will have four hours of live coverage from Rory McIlroys season debut in Abu Dhabi; seven hours of taped coverage and four hours of live coverage from the Sony Open (including a pre-game show), along with its popular Morning Drive and a news show.Its a big deal, Palmer said Friday morning from his office at Bay Hill. Everybody is excited and happy with the channel and all the stuff going on. Who would ever thought 20 years ago ... all the things that have happened with Golf Channel?Palmer was a co-founder with TV mogul Joe Gibbs, who plans to make an appearance on Golf Channel on Saturday to commemorate the anniversary. Golf Channel began 18 months before Tiger Woods turned pro, so it was blessed with good timing. Comcast eventually bought out the network, and then acquired NBC Universal, which gave Golf Channel even greater resources and branding capabilities.The most significant moment in its 20 years was when the PGA Tour signed it to a 15-year deal in 2006 that gave Golf Channel rights to Thursday and Friday rounds from the PGA Tour, along with full tournament coverage for the opening three events and the tournaments in the fall. Golf Channel previously had the European Tour and other global events, along with the other three U.S. tours (seniors, women and what is now Web.com).But there was another turning point equally important iin the infancy of the network, a time when even Palmer had his doubts about the future.dddddddddddd The question was whether it was prudent for Palmer and his investors to get out and cut their losses.We were questioning what we were doing and the viability of what was happening, Palmer said. And they said, How do you feel? I said, Let me say this to you: If I didnt try to hit it through the trees a few times, none of us would be here.The quote is now on a wall at Golf Channel headquarters, a daily reminder that when you hitch up your pants and go for broke, the reward can be immense.Even though were now part of a big company, you still want the spirit of how this place was founded to be a living, breathing part of what makes it tick, Golf Channel President Mike McCarley said. That culture and everything Arnold represented, that should be part of it.McCarley said Golf Channel now is the most affluent network of those devoted to a sport, mainly because of the demographic of those watching.Davis Love III smiled at the coincidence that a network co-founded by Palmer would benefit from the arrival of Woods, the two players who in different ways made golf appealing to the masses.Its make a big difference for our sport, Love said.Golf Channel has kept the newspaper clippings from two decades ago that either panned the idea of a golf channel or predicted failure.That was an easy column to write, McCarley said. It was the first of its kind. Now every sport has its own network.Geoff Ogilvy of Australia was among the skeptics. He remembers when he first came over to America to play in events like the Western Amateur and the Porter Cup. Golf Channel was just getting started.Coming from Australia, we had four channels and we didnt have any cable, Ogilvy said. I thought this was cool, but no chance anyone was going to watch. They had all these infomercials, like Orlimar Trimetal. Remember that? So I was like, Whos going to watch this? But in the last 10 years when they got the tour deal, I think it really kicked on. Now its a legitimate channel — really legitimate.ESPN was the same, he said. I remember when they started, they showed Aussie Rules football because it was the only thing they could afford. ESPN only got there when they started showing real sport, and Golf Channel is probably the same. Its a big channel now. Its a big part of our tour.How far has Golf Channel come?There are sheer numbers. Golf Channel had the rights to 23 domestic tournaments when it began (mostly the LPGA and Nike tours) and 41 events from Europe, South Africa and Australia. This year, it will televise 189 events from the major tours around the world. It began with 180 employees and now has nearly 700; McCarley said 13 employees have been there from the start.And there are intangibles. On the day before it celebrated its 20-year anniversary, Palmer watched his grandson, Sam Saunders, compete on the PGA Tour on a network that he helped to start. ' ' '
