A blistering 11 minute hat-trick from Romelu Lukaku gave Everton a 3-0 win at Sunderland.The Black Cats and David Moyes, looking for their first win of the season, were blown away by a brilliant second-half performance from Moyes former side.Jermain Defoe should have opened the scoring for Sunderland (0-1-3) after 10 minutes but shinned his shot over the bar after the ball had fallen kindly in the box. Just minutes later, Lukaku thought he had found the net but Jordan Pickford managed to tip the Belgians powerful header over the bar.Lukaku then should have done better with a weak effort after turning Papy Djilobodji in the box before the Sunderland defender redeemed himself with a great block to deny Kevin Mirallas.Ronald Koeman looked to change things at the break bringing on Gerard Deulofeu for the quiet Ross Barkley and the Toffees immediately looked more threatening in the final third.After Deulofeu and Yannick Bolasie had gone close, Everton (3-1-0) took a deserved lead on the hour mark.The Toffees broke from a Sunderland corner and Idrissa Gueye -- who bossed the middle of the pitch all night -- floated a cross towards Lukaku who, after 13 games without a goal, found the far corner with a header.The Belgian was nowhere near finished though.Eight minutes later he found the net again with another header after great work on the wing from Bolasie, and he finished off a superb quickfire hat-trick just three minutes after that when he raced clear through on goal before slotting the ball into the bottom corner.Air Max Sale .

Peter Gammons, an analyst for Major League Baseballs network and website, drew the ire of hockey fans on Sunday when he criticized the two NHL teams on Twitter for their physical game the night before.DENVER -- The St. Louis Cardinals will send rookie Luke Weaver to the mound as they try to sweep their three-game series Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies.Weaver, 23, is 1/3 with a 3.21 ERA in seven starts, the last on Friday at San Francisco, where he gave up five hits and six unearned runs in 2 2/3 innings and lost 8-2.Weaver, who made his major league debut Aug. 13, will be pitching for the first time at Coors Field. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny emphatically said he would not talk to Weaver about the mile-high altitude, the spacious outfield or anything that might be lurking at hitter-friendly Coors Field.Im not going to fill his mind, and Im going to discourage anybody else from doing the same thing, Matheny said. Just go do your thing, and well make adjustments as we need to and well try to keep an eye (out for) when something doesnt look right. But to kind of pre-set in his mind that hes going to have to do something different, I think, is a bad strategy.The Cardinals have won four straight games and are tied with the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants in the race for the two National League wild-card spots. The Cardinals spurt has made the scoreboard watching more riveting and, at Coors Field, more unavoidable.From where my angle is (in the dugout) and where the pitchers head is, right behind it is the scoreboard, Matheny said, referring to the out-of-town scoreboard in right field. I mean directly behind it, so you cant help but watch and to see whats going on with the other teams.That said, after Tuesday nights 10-5 win over the Rockies, Matheny repeated the Cardinals mantra when it comes to scoreboard watching.Its not something we run from. Its just not something we put too much focus on, Matheny said. Control what we can control. Same boring stuff, but it keeps it very simple what our job description is.Like the Cardinals, the Rockies are also starting a rookie in German Marquez, 21. He made his major league debut Sept. 8 and will be making his first major leaague start after three relief appearances.dddddddddddd Hes 0-3 with a 5.06 ERA in those three games, the last two scoreless for a combined three innings.Im very excited Im going to be a starter. Thats unbelievable, Marquez said. I want to help my team, too. Thats why Im here. Im going to do it.The Rockies acquired Marquez from Tampa Bay along with reliever Jake McGee in the Jan. 28 trade that sent outfielder Corey Dickerson and minor league third baseman Kevin Padlo to the Rays. Marquez said he was surprised to be traded, since the Rays had placed him on their 40-man roster for the first time two months before the deal.Marquez was named the Eastern League Pitcher of the Year after going 9-6 with a 2.85 ERA, 33 walks and 126 strikeouts in 135 2/3 innings for Double-A Hartford. He then went 2-0 with a 4.35 ERA in five starts for Triple-A Albuquerque before being recalled by the Rockies.Marquezs repertoire includes a fastball, curveball and changeup. The first two pitches are above average and the third will be. Marquezs changeup was a point of emphasis this season, specifically to not slow his arm speed and keep it the same as his fastball while throwing his changeup.The thing that jumps out at you is its easy velocity -- upper 90s, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. Theres not a lot of effort. Hes got great finish (on the fastball). Hes got a good breaking ball. The changeup is a work in progress right now, but its coming. But for a 21-year-old kid -- very, very impressive.In addition to his stuff, Marquez has impressed the Rockies with his mound presence.We saw that right away in spring training, unaffected by the major league atmosphere, Weiss said. Always looked like he belonged. It says something for a kid his age, (coming to) a new organization, too. Thats not easy.The few outings hes had here the last few weeks, same thing. Very composed. Very poised. ' ' '
