Coach Don Pyke says his belief in Adelaides game plan hasnt been dented by a shock last-round AFL loss.The Crows blew a chance to finish in the top four and gain a coveted double chance in the finals when downed by West Coast in the last minor round game,But Pyke says hes firmly believes the Crows attacking style can flourish in their finals campaign, which opens with an elimination bout against North Melbourne at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night.We are not about to jump at shadows and change things, Pyke told reporters on Tuesday.We have got to this position because we have played a particular way, the players have played true to their trademark on the way through.(There is) the temptation to think you have got to reach for something substantially different.We think that were capable of producing good footy which will stand up in finals and thats the challenge, without trying to create something unique or extra special.Its often just doing what you do, doing it better, and doing it for longer against quality opposition.Pyke will summon vice-captain Rory Sloane (suspension) and rebounding defender Brodie Smith (concussion) for the knockout final against the Kangaroos.And he hoped lingering concern over backmen Kyle Cheney (groin) and Luke Brown (soreness) would be extinguished at Adelaides main training session on Wednesday.Adelaide enter the elimination final as overwhelming favourites against a North side which limped into the finals - the Roos won just two of their past 11 games.But Pyke said his focus would be on the North Melbourne that won nine consecutive matches to start their season.They havent had the best back-end of the season. But they won nine games in a row to start the year so we know what theyre very capable of, Pyke said.They have got some high-quality individuals and they have got some really proud individuals who have got great history at their footy club.Brian Westbrook Jersey .

He was the eighth different starter in eight games for the As.Out of necessity, As manager Bob Melvin said.The rookie blanked Baltimore into the fourth. At that point, the Orioles had been shut out for 17 straight innings and lost their lead in the AL East following three consecutive one-run losses beforeTrumbo broke Baltimores spell with an RBI single in a three-run fourth off Triggs (0-1).The All-Star slugger connected the next inning for his third career grand slam off Daniel Coulombe.Its hard to shut a team like that down four games in a row, As catcher Stephen Vogt said. Its not like you sit back and expect it, but theres definitely an uneasy feeling whenever any of those guys step in the box because 1-through-9 they can hit the ball out of the park at any moment.Triggs left after the fourth.We felt confident enough where our bullpen was today (to give us) some length in both (Chris) Smith and Coulombe to start him, Melvin said. All in all, for a reliever to come in and start like that, I thought he pitched well.Triggs said he was pleased with his performance.I ran into some speed bumps and some groundballs found holes, he said. Overall, I was happy with the pitches that I was making.Physically, I felt fine, he said.Ryon Healy and Max Muncy homered for the As. Yonder Alonso doubled in two runs during a four-run eighth.Zach Britton retired three batters for his AL-leading 35th save this season and his 37th consecutive dating to last season. The As loaded the bases in the ninth after a replay overturn before Brittton got Danny Valencia to ground out to end it.ddddddddddddhris Tillman (15-4) allowed two runs over seven innings for his first victory since July 21. He is Baltimores first 15-game winner since Bud Norris and Wei-Yin Chen in 2014.I think we played really clean top-to-bottom baseball this entire series, Healy said. Winning three one-run ballgames in the big leagues is not easy to do and we did that three days in a row. It shows how quality our pitching staff was and our defense was solid.The first three games and today we showed some good heart and the last few innings battling back, so I think its a good sign for our team moving forward, he said.Adam Jones homered for the Orioles and Pedro Alvarez drove in three runs.STOP, DROP AND ROLLIn addition to his home run, Healy also made a stellar defensive play. The rookie third baseman made a diving stop of Manny Machados hard-hit grounder in the first, then tumbled and rolled as he hit the infield dirt. Healy did a second 360-turn as he stood up and threw to first for the out.I think the play ended up looking more spectacular than it needed to, Healy said. The second spin kind of just happened and I ended up picking up Yonder at first base, and was able to get the out.TRAINERS ROOMOrioles: SS J.J. Hardy was given the day off, his first since July 24th. ... Manager Buck Showalter said a decision will be made soon whether to put OF Steve Pearce on the disabled list.
