KINGSTON, Jamaica -- Kenia Sinclair mistimed her move in the Olympic final of the 800-meter run at the Beijing Olympics eight years ago, quite possibly costing her a medal. And a bad knee kept her from even stepping onto the track at the London Games in 2012.So heres the early 36th birthday present she gave herself: A return trip to the Olympics.Fighting through a bad hamstring, Sinclair finished second in the womens 800 final at the Jamaican Senior National Championships -- the Caribbean nations version of the Olympic trials -- inside National Stadium on Saturday night. That was good enough to earn her a trip to Rio next month for her sports showcase meet.For me, age is just a number, said Sinclair, who turns 36 on July 14. Im 36 years old, but I feel like I did when I just started. Im not tired. Im well-rested because Ive always been battling with injuries. But I came out here today and my main goal was just to make this Olympic team. Its been a hard three weeks with this hamstring, but I didnt want any excuse.Hamstrings have been the bane of this meet.A bad left hamstring knocked Usain Bolt out of these championships on Friday night, putting his status for the 100- and 200-meter dashes and the 4x100-meter relay at the Rio Games in some doubt. Bolt wasted no time starting to get treatment on the mild tear, tweeting out a photo of his leg getting worked on not long after he withdrew from the meet.This weekends meet in theory decides the Olympic team, though Jamaican rules (unlike ones in the U.S.) allow for some flexibility at the trials through medical exemptions. Bolt plans to show if hes fit enough to return to the Olympics -- and try for a third straight gold in the 100 -- at a meet in London on July 22.So without the biggest show in the sport, the mens 200 went on Saturday, as did the womens 200.There were no real surprises, as the biggest remaining names such as Yohan Blake, Nickel Ashmeade, Elaine Thompson, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Veronica Campbell-Brown all advanced to the finals that will cap the meet on Sunday night. Campbell-Brown is a two-time Olympic 200 champion, though she failed to qualify for the 100 at the Rio Games by finishing fourth in her national final on Friday.But if the meet needed a feel-good story, Sinclair had one to offer.Shes dealt with back issues and the aftereffects of a car crash that made them worse for several years, then had the hamstring issue pop up less than a month ago.Today, I told myself this was going to prove how bad you want to be on the team, Sinclair said. When I got on the line, I didnt think about it. I ran through pain and Im happy with the result.Sinclair finished in 2 minutes, 1.11 seconds -- just ahead of the Olympic standard, though that was irrelevant since shed beat that earlier this season anyway. All she had to do Saturday was finish in the top three to qualify.Nataya Goule won the race in 2:00.23, after a pre-race chat with Sinclair.We wished each other well, good luck, Goule said. Were friends. Even though we raced against each other, were friends. Thats how we do it. Oakland Athletics Shirts . And follow TSN.ca right through Deadline Day for all the updates.

NEW YORK -- Brian Dozier had just struck out on three pitches against Jerry Blevins, ending the 95th defeat in a Twins season that could become the franchises worst since it arrived in Minnesota more than six decades ago.Losses approaching a hundred, Dozier said. Thats not good.Gabriel Ynoa struck out eight over 4 2/3 innings in his first major league start, Blevins got a four-out save and the New York Mets completed a three-game sweep with a 3-2 victory Sunday.A big league-worst 55-95, Minnesota was swept in a series for the 14th time this season and has lost seven straight games against the Mets. The franchises poorest record since moving to Minnesota for the 1961 season was 60-102 in 1982.

Were a little bit beat up. Were having to run some people out there.

Rivera added a solo home run in the third. Gibson gave up three runs and seven hits in five-plus innings.It was frustrating to put our team in that kind of hole there in the first inning against a contending team, Gibson said.All the losses have left the Twins battling to keep a positive approach.I think theres been times when weve gotten pretty down on ourselves and allowed it to affect us, Gibson said. I think thats when you see the 10- and 12-game losing stretches, and there were 15 games where we were not playing too well.Ynoa breezed through the Twins, except inn the second.dddddddddddd Minnesota loaded the bases with one out, John Ryan Murphy hit a sacrifice fly and Gibson grounded out.Mets manager Terry Collins replaced Ynoa with Josh Edgin after Dozier singled with two outs in the fifth, extending his hitting streak to a career-high 22 games.

After a mound visit by pitching coach Dan Warthen, Blevins threw a pair of called strikes to Dozier and got him to swing over a curveball in the dirt.Grossman tied his career high for hits with four singles, but it wasnt enough.I think at the end of the day, you look up and were the worst team in baseball, Dozier said.
