 Crabs'


rally fails


 in loss
 STAFF REPORT
 BRADENTON -John
Kuchno pitched five
scoreless innings and
combined with two
Bradenton relievers to
hold the Stone Crabs
to two hits in a 4-2
victory on Saturday at
McKechnie Field.
 Trailing 4-0 in the top
of the seventh, Charlotte's
Kes Carter reached on a
fielding error by shortstop
Adam Frazier.
 After Justin O'Conner
flied out to left, Hector
Guevara singled and
Carter advanced to sec-
ond. Marty Gantt's singled
scored Carter to put the
Crabs on the board.
 In the eighth, Andrew
Toles grounded into a
force out but reached
first safely. He stole
second, then third with
Tyler Goeddel batting.
After Goeddel walked,
Toles scored when Carter
reached base on an error
by reliever Pat Ludwig to
make it 4-2. But that's as
close as the Crabs got.

 Pirates


 give GM,


 manager


 new deals
 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

 PITTSBURGH- Clint
 Hurdle doesn't want to
 manage the Pittsburgh
 Pirates unless Neal
 Huntington is his boss.
 Huntington doesn't want
 to help run the club unless
 Hurdle is in the dugout.
 The combination that's
 returned the franchise to
 respectability will remain
 intact for years to come.
 Hurdle and Huntington
 agreed to new deals
 on Saturday that will
 keep them in Pittsburgh
 through at least 2017,
 giving the Pirates the
 kind of internal stability
 they haven't enjoyed in
 decades.
 "There's no place I'd
 rather be," Hurdle said.
 Financial terms were
 not disclosed. The
 contracts include a club
 option for 2018. Both
 Huntington and Hurdle,
 chosen the 2013 National
 League Manager of the
Year after leading the
Pirates to 94 wins and a
playoff berth, were in the
final year of their current
deals.
 Reaching a new agree-
ment was a mere formality
after a thrilling season in
which Pittsburgh qual-
ified for the playoffs for
the first time since 1992
and pushed the St. Louis
Cardinals to five games in
the NL division series.
 "I think we have a
very solid team in place
and they deserve the
recognition," owner Bob
Nutting said. "I think great
organizations are stable
organizations. Again,
never static and never
on autopilot ... (but) I'm
proud of the culture and
the tone that the current
team has."

 Yankees place Teixeira
on DL: NewYork placed first
baseman Mark Teixeira on the 15-day
disabled list with a strained right
hamstring and recalled catcher Austin
Romine from Triple-A Scranton.
 Teixeira left Friday's game in the
second inning after he was injured
while trying to field a foul grounder.
Kelly Johnson moved from second
base to first and Brian Roberts came
in to play second. Manager Joe Girardi
said Teixeira will undergo an MRI
exam when the Yankees return home
Monday.
 Johnson started at first base
Saturday, and Girardi said Johnson
will get the bulk of the playing time in
Teixeira's absence.
