PITTSBURGH - Kevin Correia is learning not to panic. cheap nfl jerseys . So is his surprisingly resilient team. The Pittsburgh Pirates steady No. 1 starter didnt let a fourth-inning hiccup get to him, hanging in against the Detroit Tigers until the offence picked him up in a 6-2 win. The victory was the right-handers first as a Pirate at PNC Park. Hed struggled in three previous starts this season at the quirky, hitter-friendly stadium, going 0-3 with a 6.50 earned-run average. There were no such issues against the slumping Tigers, who lost their fifth straight. Correia (6-4) limited Detroit to two runs over 6 2-3 innings, striking out four. "I did some stuff better today and some stuff wasnt that great," Correia said. "I felt like I threw the ball well and Im glad I hung in there long enough for our offence to really jump around." Andrew McCutchen went 3-for-4 and scored twice for Pittsburgh, which has won four straight for the first time since last September. Joel Hanrahan helped the Pirates escape a two-on, no-out jam in the ninth to pick up his 13th save. "The guys are feeling it," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "Theres a little bit of less anxiety in the dugout. Even when we were down 2-0 there was some calmness." Thanks in part to Correia, who won five of his first seven decisions but has faded in May. He entered the game coming off his worst outing of the season in a loss at Milwaukee last Sunday. While he wasnt dominant, he was good enough and didnt get rattled after the Tigers took a 2-0 lead in the fourth behind consecutive doubles from Andy Dirks and Miguel Cabrera. "The experience of not letting a game spiral out of control like I had (helped)," Correia said. "I definitely think I threw the ball well enough to get the win tonight." Detroits Max Scherzer (6-1) could say the same thing. He began the night tied for the American League lead in wins and looked dominant at times, retiring 10 straight during one stretch before fading in the sixth when the Pirates touched him up for three runs. "I wish I would have executed better within the strike zone, especially with men on base," Scherzer said. "I didnt finish hitters off. I gave them a chance to execute and get some big hits and sac flies and they did." An RBI single by Garrett Jones and sacrifice flies by Neil Walker and Lyle Overbay gave the Pirates the lead. They added three more runs in the seventh, highlighted by a two-run single by Matt Diaz. "All I knew is if I didnt hit it back to the pitcher, Id be OK," said Diaz, who helped the Pirates tack on an extra run later in the inning by extending a rundown long enough to allow teammate Jose Tabata to score. The victory helped Pittsburgh match its entire 2010 win total in interleague play. The Pirates went a woeful 2-13 against National League teams last year, including an 0-3 mark against the Tigers. Yet Hurdle has urged his team to forget about the past, and the Pirates have proven to be pluckier so far than the team that lost 105 games a year ago. The win lifted Pittsburghs record to 22-23, a solid if not spectacular start for team that hasnt posted a winning season since Detroit manager Jim Leyland led the Pirates to the National League East title nearly 20 years ago. Leyland fondly remembers his time in Pittsburgh. His present isnt so hot. The Tigers appeared to be rolling after ripping off seven wins earlier this month. Theyve backed it up with five losses in which theyve scored eight runs. "Were making it tough for our pitchers right now," Leyland said. "Everything is life and death for them because they have no cushion." Detroit came in mired in a 2-for-31 slump with runners in scoring position, but hit three doubles in the fourth to jump in front. "I thought maybe we would get something going," Leyland said. "We three doubles in one inning to score two runs and I thought maybe that would us out of it a little bit." Not really. Yet when it really mattered, the Tigers again couldnt get the big hit they needed. Detroit put two men on in the seventh to chase Correia and Austin Jackson drilled a fastball from Pittsburgh reliever Jose Veras. He just hit it to straight centre field, where McCutchen caught it on the warning track to end the inning. The Tigers had one last chance in the ninth after loading the bases with no outs. Hanrahan, however, struck out Ryan Raburn looking then got Jackson to hit into a game-ending double play to put Pittsburgh in a position to sweep an interleague series for the first time since taking three games from Cleveland in 2001. NOTES: Detroits Jackson went 0 for 5 to end his 12-game hitting streak. ... Though his teams offence is struggling, Leyland opted to sit Victor Martinez. The teams normal designated hitter caught just his ninth game of the season on Friday. Martinez leads the Tigers with a .313 average. He grounded out as a pinch hitter in the eighth . ... Veras made the first plate appearance of his career in the seventh and ended up walking on four pitches and later scored on the double by Diaz. ...

And theyre enjoying it. Chad Henne threw two touchdown passes, Jordan Todman scored on some trickery and the Jaguars held on to beat the Houston Texans 27-20 on Thursday night. The Jaguars (4-9) won their third straight -- their fourth victory in five games since a bye -- and continued to show signs of progress under first-year coach Gus Bradley. They have the longest winning streak in the AFC. "Four out of five, yeah, youre feeling good," Henne said. Jacksonville also won at home for the first time since Nov. 25, 2012, against Tennessee. "Our guys just really believe," Bradley said. "The biggest challenge is to keep doing what were doing. Were a young team thats learning how to do this." Houston (2-11) extended its franchise-record losing streak to 11 games, a stunning stretch of futility that could lead the franchise to fire coach Gary Kubiak. "Its been a gut-wrenching experience," said Kubiak, whose team has lost eight games by seven points or less. "Weve been in so many close games." Kubiak and the Texans looked as if they would end the streak after a quarterback change, but Geno Hayes intercepted Matt Schaubs pass with 2:08 remaining to seal Jacksonvilles first series sweep since 2009. Schaub came off the bench and carved up Jacksonvilles secondary in the second half. He replaced starter Case Keenum late in the third quarter and led the team to a touchdown and a field goal in his first two possessions. The Texans were in the red zone again, but failed to convert a fourth-down play with 3:37 remaining. Jacksonville picked up a huge first down that flipped the field -- not surprising that it came on a penalty -- but punted. Hayes picked off Schaubs next pass, a floater over the middle. The Jaguars milked the clock from there, and Josh Scobees 39-yard field goal provided some insurance. The Texans had one final chance -- they needed to go 77 yards in 20 seconds and without a timeout -- but Schaub was sacked to end the game. Jacksonville players ran on the field to celebrate. "For what theyve gone through and to stick to it and have some results go their way, its pretty cool," Bradley said. "Our team continues to show that theyre sticking to it, believing and making plays at critical times." Schaub completed 17 of 29 passes for 198 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. Andre Johnson caught 13 passes for 154 yards. Still, the Texans walked off the field with an all-too-familiar feeling. Turnovers were a problem again for Kubiaks team. Penalties were an even bigger problem. Houston was flagged 14 times for a team-reecord 177 yards -- many of them extending drives. cheap nfl jerseys . "They were huge penalties," Kubiak said. "Thats on me. Its ridiculous. Its inexcusable. It cant happen." Jacksonvilles opponents might want to start expecting trick plays. Offensive co-ordinator Jedd Fisch dialed up a double pass that led to a score and a 24-10 lead in the third quarter. Henne threw behind the line of scrimmage to receiver Ace Sanders, who then heaved a deep ball across the field to running back Todman. No defender was near Todman as he camped under Sanders throw. Rookie D.J. Swearinger pushed Todman just as he hauled in the 21-yard TD reception. It was the second consecutive week a non-quarterback threw a TD pass for Jacksonville. Maurice Jones-Drew tossed an 8-yard score to college teammate Marcedes Lewis in a 32-28 win at Cleveland last week. Sanders and Jones-Drew now have as many TD passes this season as benched Jaguars starter Blaine Gabbert. Henne completed 12 of 27 passes for 117 yards. He hooked up with Lewis for a 1-yard scoring strike in the first quarter and found Cecil Shorts III for a 6-yarder in the second. The Jaguars took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards for the teams fourth opening-drive touchdown in its last five games. Houston punted on its first three possessions, creating more momentum for the home team. Hennes second TD pass gave Jacksonville its largest lead (14 points) of the season. Henne hit Shorts out of bounds on a second-down play, but went right back to his leading receiver on the next snap. Shorts beat Johnathan Joseph on a quick out. Jones-Drew carried 14 times for a season-high 103 yards. He left the game late in the fourth with a hamstring injury, but said he would be fine. The Jaguars are enjoying a modest turnaround after starting the season 0-8. Two victories came against Houston, including a 13-6 punt-fest 11 days ago. "Its been amazing," Jones-Drew said. "Gus has done a great job." The Texans managed a season-low 218 yards in that one, prompting some players to apologies to the city. Johnson called it the "lowest point" of his 11-year career. What will they say now? Another loss surely will increase the possibility of changes in Houston, which improved its chances of landing the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL draft. Notes: Jaguars S Chris Prosinski (head) left the game and did not return. ... Jaguars PK Josh Scobee is 19 of 21 on field goals this season, getting one blocked and missing a 60-yarder. ... Texans were 2 for 5 in the red zone, continuing a season-long trend. Another loss surely will increase the possibility of changes in Houston. Houston now has the inside track to the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL draft. ' ' '
