Tigers defense has yielded just three field goals in the past six quarters. “That loss (against Georgia) bears on your heart,” Mills said. “You never want to have that feeling again.” Against Florida last week, LSU failed to score at least 35 points for the first time this season. However, the Tigers took a different approach against the Gators’ stingy defense. Rather than relying upon Zach Mettenberger’s passing, LSU ran the ball with Jeremy Hill. Mettenberger was just 9-of-17 for 152 yards — all-season lows. But Hill rushed for 121 yards on 19 carries — his fourth 100-yard game of the season. “The offense in my opinion did exactly what it needed to do,” Miles said. “It controlled the game, moved the football, was smart with the ball and finished the game. Zach played a pretty good game. It might not have been his best game, but he managed the situations and allowed us to play well enough to win.” Mississippi coach Ole Miss Hugh Freeze figures Mettenberger is bound to bounce back with a more prolific outing sooner than later. “He was certainly good in our game last year, but he certainly has improved,” Freeze said. “They’re certainly playing their strengths of winning one-onone matchups to the outside. ... Mettenberger isn’t missing many open receivers when he has them. He’s making very, very good throws and managing the game extremely well.” LSU offensive players believe they have gained confidence since that loss to Georgia. “Everything happens for a reason,” offensive tackle La’El Collins said. “It was time for (loss) to happen. It was time for us to look at our mistakes and see the things we can do differently. We can’t take things for granted. “We’re a whole lot better now. The offense has really made strides. We have come a long way, but it is still a process. The road to a championship is always under construction.”

ketball set right in downtown, surrounded by restaurants and hotels. A new convention center opened this summer across the street, but Slive said the SEC did not consider the convention center in making the decision because it
was so new. Vanderbilt athletic director David Williams said Nashville is the perfect location. Williams said the arena is only a 7-minute drive from the airport in a city centrally located from South Carolina and Florida in the east to Texas
A&M now in the west. He said his challenge now is convincing his own fans to stick around downtown during the tournament and enjoy the atmosphere. He dismissed any idea that his Commodores will get any edge from Nashville hosting the tournament, noting the tickets
are split equally among the SEC’s 14 teams. “You get down to it, you got to beat somebody on the court,” Williams said. “All 14 teams put good teams out there. It’s not going to be a home-court advantage at all.” To make this long-term deal happen, Nashville of-
the series in Game 2, Boston came away with a win in Detroit against one of the game’s best pitchers. The Tigers had a chance for their own comeback in the eighth when Austin Jackson drew a one-out walk and Torii Hunter followed with a single. But Cabrera, who failed to reach base for the first time in 32 postseason games for the Tigers, never looked comfortable against Junichi Tazawa, swinging and missing at the first two offerings and eventually chasing an outside pitch for strike three. “To me, I (got) myself out. I was swinging at a lot of balls out of the strike zone,” said Cabrera, who has been banged up for a couple of months but homered in Game 2. “When you swing at balls,
you’re not able to have success.” Fielder looked even more overmatched against Koji Uehara, striking out on three pitches. Uehara also worked the ninth for a save, ensuring that Lackey’s fine performance wouldn’t go to waste. Lackey pitched poorly his first two seasons in Boston after signing an $82.5 million, five-year contract in December 2009. Then he missed all of 2012 following elbow ligament-replacement surgery. He’s been better this season, and he kept the defending AL champions off balance Tuesday by effectively changing speeds. “He just never gave in,” Saltalamacchia said. Napoli’s first at-bat in
the majors was against Verlander on May 4, 2006, at Comerica Park. He homered then, too. “He’s tough. He was on his game tonight. He was keeping all of us off balance,” said Napoli.
ficials had to work closely with the Predators. The franchise has to block off up to nine days each March through the length of the contract, which means they could lose some home dates heading into the postseason. Sean Henry, president and chief operating
officer of both the Predators and the arena, said the trade-off was worth it. “Sure it’s a step back from a competitive standpoint,” Henry said, “but it’s a couple steps forward from a competitive standpoint because it gives us more and more resources.”

fore Game 3. “It’s been funny for me to watch all the coverage of the game coming in,” Peavy said. “Almost like we didn’t have a starter going today. Our starter is pretty good, too.” Lackey backed that up and then some. He allowed four hits in 6 2/3 innings, striking out eight without a walk in a game that was delayed 17 minutes in the second inning because lights on the stadium towers went out. “I think that little time off gave him a chance to slow down a little bit. He was excited and pumped that first inning,” Boston catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. “Kind of getting excited with his slider, throwing a little too hard and leaving it over the middle, but he was still pretty effective.” It was the second 1-0 game in this matchup between the highest-scoring teams in the majors. Dominant pitching has been a running theme throughout these playoffs, which have included four 1-0 scores and seven shutouts in the first 26 games. “The runs are pretty stingy,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. “This is what it’s about in postseason, is good pitching.” After rallying from a five-run deficit to even
