Salomon Rondons goal in the 74th minute gave West Brom a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the opening-day fixture for both sides.Taking two teams who scored just 73 goals last season combined and putting them together in a tentative opener, its hard to really expect too many fireworks. Sure enough, despite some zealous work in midfield, the opening 30 minutes lacked any real chances -- Rondon the only player who looked capable of breaking the deadlock.Andros Townsend also began to shine towards the end of the first half, but, often left without sufficient support, the Eagles new acquisition was equalled by the organised duo of Jonny Evans and Jonas Olsson.The start of the second half was a little more promising, a well-crafted pass from Lee setting Zaha free with only the keeper to beat. Foster managed to make a brilliant double save to deny him, though, and youd be forgiven for fearing that Palace had wasted the best chance they were going to get.Indeed that miss did go on to cost the Eagles, as 16 minutes from time, Rondon headed home from James McCleans pinpoint free-kick. It was pretty much the only time Hennessey was tested all game, but it proved enough as, despite an increase in urgency from the Palace camp, West Brom managed to hang on without incident.Andros Townsends debut performance will have been met with mixed reactions. He did look like Palaces brightest spark throughout, but the Eagles will need to tweak their setup if they are to capitalise on his creativity in the final third; he was often left to go alone this afternoon.All in all, a job well done for Tony Pulis side. They defended well, and managed to sneak that one goal they needed to edge an unspectacular opening-day fixture. Nike React Clearance .

LOS ANGELES -- The outcome of the Cubs-Giants NL playoff wasnt the only thing in doubt when those teams played late into the night on the West Coast.The start time for Game 4 of the Nationals-Dodgers series on Tuesday was also undecided.Still functioning on East Coast time, Nationals manager Dusty Baker went to bed after watching Chicagos Kris Bryant homer to tie the game in the ninth inning Monday night. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts lasted a bit longer, hanging in until the 11th.The Giants rallied to win 6-5 in 13 innings shortly before midnight Pacific time, determining the Nationals-Dodgers game would start at 2:05 p.m. PDT. If the Cubs had clinched the series with a victory, the game in Los Angeles would have started three hours later.In this age of instant communication, Roberts hopped on social media to find out the result.I set my alarm early and if it would have been the other way, I would have gone back to sleep, he said.Roberts 67-year-old counterpart did the same.I woke up in the middle of the night, used the bathroom, looked at ESPN and saw that the Giants had won, Baker said.Rob Segedin was up taking care of hiis 1+-month-old son.dddddddddddd Although the infielder isnt on the Dodgers roster for the NLDS, he still needs to be at the ballpark.I was watching the game and I found out what time our game was today from the TV commentators, he said. Then I started figuring out what time I had to get up.Both teams knew there were two scenarios: either a day or early evening start.I dont know how they found out, Baker said of his players, but Im sure they did. Communication isnt a problem around here.The Nationals and Dodgers are already operating on a compressed schedule in their series. Game 2 was rained out last Saturday in Washington, forcing it to be played Sunday, a scheduled travel day.So instead of getting a day off between Games 2 and 3, the teams will have played three straight days by Tuesday.If Game 5 is necessary, the teams would travel Wednesday to Washington, where the series would conclude Thursday.In this game, only the strong-willed and the strong-minded people do well and survive, Baker said.
