KANSAS CITY, Kan. Vince Wilfork Elite Jersey . -- Kei Kamara wound up being the most decisive player in an indecisive game. Sporting Kansas Citys star forward delivered on a brilliant header in the opening minutes Sunday night, and then gave it right back with an own-goal moments later for the only scoring in a 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls. Kamaras goal in the fourth minute was his fifth in the past 10 MLS games, while the goal he scored for New York in the 28th minute resulted in a draw that left Sporting KC (14-7-5) two points clear of the Red Bulls (13-7-6) in the Eastern Conference standings. "Every game is important, right?" Sporting KC coach Peter Vermes said. "We just have to move onto the next game. These are what the games are going to be like when you get to the playoffs." Not to mention when the teams meet again. The rugged affair Sunday night was the first of three games the conference leaders will play over the next two months, and the only game at Livestrong Sporting Park. There were five yellow cards handed out, and Sporting KCs Aurelien Collin will miss the next game because of his. "This was ugly," Red Bulls coach Hans Backe said. "Two teams that definitely wanted to win." The scoring started before many fans had settled into their seats. Graham Zusi took control of the ball near midfield and flicked it ahead to Teal Bunbury on the wing, and he managed to chip the ball over the heads of New York defenders Connor Lade and Markus Holgersson. Kamara then out-jumped them both to head the ball into the net, which was left wide open when goalkeeper Bill Gaudette strayed too far onto the pitch. The goal proved to be costly for Sporting KC, though. Bunbury sprained his left knee while leaping to make the assist, putting one of the teams hottest scorers on the sideline. "He was putting them under pressure and thats what Teal has been doing well," said Vermes, adding that Bunbury will probably have an MRI exam on the knee this week. "They were a little afraid of him getting behind them." The equalizer for New York came in the 28th minute. Red Bulls forward Sebastien Le Toux set up for a spot kick far out on the wing, and sent a scorcher into the box. Tim Cahill was angling toward the net and Kamara tried to block him, but he got just enough of the ball with his head to send it past Sporting KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen. "There was obviously some miscommunication," Nielsen said. "Someone yelled to leave it, and Kei was trying not to touch it, and he got a piece of it. It was a really soft goal." It still counted the same. The own-goal was only the fifth goal allowed in 13 games by Sporting KCs starting defence of Collin, Seth Sinovic, Chance Myers and Matt Besler. That quartet kept New Yorks high-scoring attack out of the goal the rest of the night, and moved to 22-2-6 when they start a game together, including a 10-1-2 mark this season. It helped their cause that the Red Bulls played without forward Thierry Henry, whose wife gave birth to a son Friday. Henry is expected to return to the team this week. "We started the game exactly as we wanted to with high pressure," Besler said. "The goals didnt go in tonight, but were still in the position we want to be." Vince Wilfork Limited Jersey .

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The surging Tampa Bay Rays have discovered a simple formula: Its hard to lose when you dont give up any runs. Alex Cobb pitched a four-hitter for his first major league shutout and the Rays beat the Oakland Athletics 5-0 on Thursday night to pull within 2 1/2 games of the first-place New York Yankees in the AL East. Matt Joyce hit a two-run double in a five-run fifth inning against Tyson Ross, hastily called up from the minors to pitch in place of suspended Oakland starter Bartolo Colon. After the big inning, it was easy for Cobb. "All the pressure goes away," he said. "You dont have to be fine, you can just go ahead and attack hitters. Once I got up by five, my main thought was to go as deep as I could and make them hit fastballs." Cobb (8-Cool struck out eight and walked two in his second career complete game, both this season. He bounced back from a poor outing against the Los Angeles Angels to win for the fourth time in five starts. "Nothing worked the last time. And to his credit, he just threw that in the trash can and did this tonight," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. It was the 14th win in 17 games for the Rays and their seventh shutout since July 19. They have pitched 13 shutouts this season, second-most in the majors behind the Angels (15). Cobb threw a called third strike past Yoenis Cespedes for the final out. As the Rays poured onto the field for handshakes, a group of starting pitchers jumped together and bumped shoulders in excitement. Matt Moore banged into Cobb and sent him tumbling onto the mound, minus his cap. Still clutching the ball in his glove, Cobb climbed back to his feet and smiled. Its the closest the Rays have been to first place since they were 2 1/2 out before games of June 16. Oakland dropped into a tie with Baltimore and Detroit for the ALs second wild-card spot, 2 1/2 games behind the Rays. The teams finish their three-game series Saturday and get a rare Sunday off because the Republican National Convention begins Monday in Tampa. The As did not have a travel day after beating Minnesota at home on Wednesday afternoon. They were shut out for the 15th time this season. "We just couldnt figure (CCobb) out tonight," manager Bob Melvin said. Brandon Spikes Womens Jersey. . "He was throwing chase-fastballs to us. Every time we were looking for a fastball he threw a breaking ball, and every time we were looking for a breaking ball he threw a fastball, so he was pretty unpredictable tonight." Luke Scott also doubled for the Rays in the fifth against Ross (2-9), called up from Triple-A Sacramento when Colon received a 50-game suspension Wednesday for testing positive for testosterone. The Rays batted around in the big inning, which also included RBI singles by Sam Fuld and Evan Longoria. Ryan Roberts broke the scoreless tie with a sacrifice fly. Ross, making his first start for the As since June 28, pitched six-plus innings. He gave up nine hits while striking out six. He will be sent back to Sacramento to work out of the bullpen, and the As plan to bring him back up when rosters expand in September. "Now Ive just got to move forward," Ross said. "Learn as much as I can about relieving, and be ready come September. Im excited about the opportunity. Out of the pen, I think I have a chance to help this team win some games." Stephen Drew had two hits for Oakland, including a fourth-inning single that snapped an 0-for-22 slide. It was his first hit for the As since he was acquired from Arizona in a trade. Cobb allowed 12 hits and eight earned runs in 2 2-3 innings at Los Angeles on Saturday night, the only time this month a Rays pitcher has given up more than four runs. The Rays came back from an 8-0 deficit to win that game and take Cobb off the hook. "Its great to see a teammate go out there and come back from struggling and really carry the team like he did tonight," Joyce said. "Im really happy for him and really proud of him."
