MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Jean Segura is heading home to the Dominican Republic after the death of his 9-month old son. The 24-year-old Segura learned his son, Janniel, had died after the Brewers 7-6 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night. Seguras mother, who attended the game, told several Brewers wives. They passed the news to their husbands, who then told Segura after the final out. Ron Roenicke closed the Milwaukee clubhouse to reporters after the game Friday, and the Brewers manager appeared equally saddened a day later. He kept the clubhouse closed before Saturdays game. "I didnt know what to say to him other than giving him a hug and telling him were there for him," Roenicke said. "He had a tough time." Roenicke said that the child had been sick. "Seggy was on the phone yesterday before the game and they thought he was OK, getting better," Roenicke said. "I really dont know much more than that." Segura went 1 for 4 with a double Friday night. He was placed on the bereavement list Saturday. Infielder Elian Herrera was recalled from Triple-A Nashville. Milwaukee players went through batting practice in a sombre mood. "It broke my heart," centre fielder Carlos Gomez said. "Im getting out of the shower and I see hes crying. I go ask him whats happening. He told me, My child pass away. And I dropped it right there." The Brewers 6 1/2 game lead in the NL Central has been trimmed to one after a season-high six-game losing streak. Asked how the players and his team, which has lost 10 of 11, would respond, Roenicke hesitated. "I dont know," he said. "They adapt pretty well. Im sure theyll be OK." Gomez had a different thought about playing on Saturday. "I dont know," he said. "I cant even imagine. We feel like everybody wants to stay home, but its a job we have to finish, come in and play hard." Said St. Louis manager Mike Matheny: "I heard just a little about it. I cant even fathom that. We hurt for him, for sure." Authentic NHL Jerseys Cheap .

Everybody looks at you as a world champion.Tom Brady was there, too, savoring his third Super Bowl win in four years.I was so young that I didnt understand what this was all about and how challenging this is, he said, because everything happened so fast at such an early part of my career.Now, in the latter part, theyre the only players from that team that beat the Philadelphia Eagles in Jacksonville, Florida, who are on the squad that will play the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl on Sunday night.Older and, no doubt, much wiser.As elder statesmen on a team with 17 players who werent on the club last season, Wilfork and Brady advise youngsters who have helped keep the Patriots near the top of the league despite considerable turnover — 10 AFC East titles in 11 seasons starting when Wilfork was a rookie.Now hes a six-time Pro Bowler at defensive tackle. As the roster has changed — 18 current players were drafted by the Patriots in the past five years — hes guided newcomers.I have a great group of guys, Wilfork said of his fourth Super Bowl team. I wanted to be a part of getting them there because its not about me. Its about all of them.Hes had that selfless attitude for years, a confirmed believer in coach Bill Belichicks team above all else philosophy.Belichick brings in new defensive players and Wilfork helps nurture them.On offence, thats part of a job description Brady embraces. And hes had plenty of different teammates to integrate into the complex system.Starting with their last championship team, hes completed passes to 33 different wide receivers, 20 running backs, 15 tight ends, three offensive linemen and two linebackers.But there have been two constants: Belichick and Brady.Coach is always pretty consistent with how hes dealt with our team, Brady said. You dont ride the highs and lows of the season. Whether its one winn or one loss, you just try to get better and make improvements, and youve got to play your best at the end.ddddddddddddThen theres the simple message, Do Your Job, delivered repeatedly when Belichick speaks and when players see signs posted on their way to meetings and practices.When we put that slogan out there, I think that comes along with eliminating any distractions, eliminating any noise that is being talked about, Wilfork said. Its more important for us now to just fall back on our words and do your job and if we do our job, well be in a good spot.Belichick added veteran receivers the past two seasons and both made significant contributions.Danny Amendola caught 54 passes last season despite being sidelined four games. Brandon LaFell caught 72 this season.Then theres Jonas Gray.The running back started only five games at Notre Dame, was waived by Miami just before the 2013 season and claimed by the Patriots off Baltimores practice squad last January. In his fourth game this season with the Patriots, he ran for 201 yards and four touchdowns.He, too, learned from the veterans.Its the Patriots way, Gray said. They get you in there and they teach you how to work. You learn from the leaders of the team. You learn from guys like Tom and Matthew Slater. You just follow their lead and the next thing you know, youre here at the Super Bowl.A much more significant off-season pickup who tried to knock down Bradys passes in seven years with the New York Jets learned quickly what sets him apart.His desire to be so competitive, star cornerback Darrelle Revis said.

The Canadian improved to 2-0 against the fifth-ranked Berdych, beating the Czech star 6-2, 6-4 on Thursday night to advance to the Citi Open quarter-finals. Berdych was the top seed in the hardcourt event. Earlier, Steve Johnson knocked off another seeded, big-serving, NBA centre-sized opponent, beating ninth-seeded Ivo Karlovic 3-6, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (7). The American will face seventh-ranked and second-seeded Milos Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., who beat No. 14 Lleyton Hewitt 7-6 (1), 7-6 (3). Berdych unofficially committed 21 unforced errors and had his serve broken four times, including the final game of each set. Two of Pospisils three career top-10 wins have come against Berdych, the first last year in Montreal. Berdych trailed 0-3 in the first set and never recovered. Pospisil, ranked 36th, only lost serve once, fighting back three of four break points. Johnson, ranked 68th, is turning into a giant killer. The fourth-highest ranked American on tour entering this week topped fifth-seeded John Isner in three sets Wednesday. The 6-foot-2 Johnson fended off 27 aces by the 6-foot-11 Karlovic after the 6-foot-10 Isner had 29. "Second day in a row (I had) to play somebody with a massive serve," said Johnson, who is 4-1 in tiebreakers this week. "In a tiebreaker, anything can happen." Isner double faulted in the third set tiebreaker to set up Johnson with match point. The same scenario played out Thursday, though not until Johnson fended off two match points to even the tiebreaker at 6-6. "I wouldnt say thats normal, but Im not going to complain about that," the two-time NCAA Division I singles champion said about the beneficial double faults. Karlovics third double fault of the match gave Johnson an 8-7 lead. After serving out wide to Karlovics backhand, Johnson moved in to strike the soft return. He smacked a forehand winner into the corner to reach his fifth quarter-final in his second full season on tour. Next up, 6-foot-5 Raonic. The Wimbledon semifinalist ranks third in aces behind Isner and Karlovic. "Theyre getting shorter every day," Johnson cracked. Sixth-seeded Richard Gasquet beat Tim Smyczek 6-3, 6-2. Seventh-seeded Kevin Anderson also advanced, beating Malek Jaziri 6-3, 6-4. Donald Young beat No. 15 Denis Istomin 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 for his second straight victory over a seeded player.
