PHOENIX -- Yasmany Tomas is on some kind of tear of late.With two home runs and a career-high six RBI in the Arizona Diamondbacks 13-5 victory over the New York Mets on Wednesday night, eight of Tomas last 13 hits have left the yard.Tomas and Rickie Weeks Jr. both homered twice and drove in a combined 11 runs and Tomas had his major league-leading seventh multi-homer game of the season. Weeks tied a career high with five RBI and recorded his first multi-homer game in more than three years, the eighth of his career.Tomas has eight home runs in 10 games has hit safely in 16 of his last 18 starts, with 23 RBI over that span. His solo shot in the fourth gave Arizona a 3-1 lead, right after Weeks first home run, then he added a two-run triple in the seventh and three-run homer in the eighth.In the last three weeks, Ive had a different routine, Tomas said in Spanish. Im recognizing the ball better right now and my swing is comfortable. I always try to be ready and if the pitch looks good to me, I swing.Manager Chip Hale said Tomas is getting the right pitches to hit and has overcome a neck problem he dealt with recently.Just taking advantage of some pitches that are up in the zone. Thats what good hitters do, Hale said.Zack Godley (4-2) earned the win with 7 1/3 innings of five-hit ball. He allowed two runs, struck out four and walked two, holding the Mets to one hit over the first five innings.Godleys outing was the longest of the 26-year-olds career. He sprinted off the mound when removed in the top of the eighth.Zack had really good stuff, Hale said. They werent squaring too many balls up on Zack. Sinker and cutter were both working, changeup had so much depth to it.Mets starter Jonathon Niese didnt allow a hit for three innings until Paul Goldschmidt led off the fourth with a base hit. Weeks homered on a 2-2 pitch, and two pitches later, Tomas took Niese deep to left field.Niese got the first two outs of the fifth after Godleys single, then gave way to reliever Erik Goeddel, who walked Goldschmidt and gave up Weeks second homer. Goeddel faced four batters and did not register an out.Goeddel was pitching pretty good until tonight so it was the right move to make, Mets manager Terry Collins said. We just didnt get the outs.Wednesdays game marked the second time in club history the Diamondbacks had two players with five or more RBI each. Justin Upton (6) and Miguel Montero (5) did so in 2011.Weeks was able to take advantage of a rare start.Just being a veteran, honestly, he said. Coming off the bench is not the ideal situation, but you have to go out there and try to do your job.Niese (8-7) was making his first start since July 10 and had been working out of the bullpen since. He allowed four runs and four hits, walked two and struck out six.Tomas hit his first triple of the season to drive in Goldschmidt and Weeks, giving the Diamondbacks an 8-1 lead. His three-run shot into the television camera opening in center field in the eighth made it 13-2.Curtis Granderson homered and Rene Rivera hit a two-run shot in the ninth for the Mets.GOLDEN ARMOlympic gold medalist and Phoenix resident Bethanie Mattek-Sands, who took gold in mixed doubles tennis in Rio, threw out the ceremonial first pitch before Wednesdays game.TRAINERS ROOMMets: OF Yoenis Cespedes went 2 for 3 with a double, RBI and run scored while playing six innings in left field Wednesday night for Single-A St. Lucie.

Anibal Sanchez Jersey . 8 Kansas to a 64-63 win over Texas Tech on Tuesday night. The freshman from Vaughan, Ont.EUGENE, Ore. -- Every team has one of them: A player who hasnt gotten much attention from outside the program but has made a significant impact on his teammates.It might be a scout-team regular, or even a walk-on. It might be someone who just grinded it out every day and never complained.At Oregon, that guy is senior running back Jarret LaCoste.LaCoste was a walk-on at Oregon two years ago when the Ducks went to the first College Football Playoff championship game. Hes since become a key contributor on the scout team -- last week he was tasked with simulating Stanfords Christian McCaffrey.Ask his teammates and theyll all say hes a beast in the weight room, helping younger players to keep up their offseason lifting regimens.LaCoste, who played this season against Washington and gained 55 yards on 10 carries, has already graduated and hes about to embark on a job with a Portland accounting firm. He was never on scholarship during his career with the Ducks -- but he jokes hes gotten some stylish Nike team gear.Honestly, I never would have dreamed I was going to play Division I football, ever, he said. So my expectations just from the start were low, I was like, `Wow, Im just so honored to be on this team, I cant believe they let me on. This is awesome. But then I thought, `I feel very privileged and honored to be on this team, so I better give them everything I can and never let anyone down.Arizona tight end Josh Kern was originally recruited by then-coach Mike Stoops as a quarterback but switched positions after a redshirt year. Hes had only had a dozen touches.But Kern has been the heart of the Wildcats. He gave the eulogy for senior outside linebacker Zach Hemmila, who died in his sleep in August. Kern also spoke at the funeral of fan Andrew Valdez, a local teen who lost his battle with cystic fibrosis last year.Ive never had to worry about him doing the right thing, coach Rich Rodriguez said. Hes a leader in the community. Hes our top service guy. I dont know if you can be a better role model for all of our players than Josh Kern.His teammates echoed the sentiment.People dont see the stuff that goes on inside of here, but like when we come home from a game and get off the bus, Josh is like, `Hey, you need you ride? Samajie, you want a ride? running back Samajie Grant said. Josh, even though he hasnt been playing like he wants to, is still bringing it every single day.At Colorado, quarterback Sefo Liufau pointed to junior cornerback Andrew Bergner, who joined the Buffaloes last season as a walk-on and provides the offense with a challenge during practice.Sometimes you cant always get the best looks from your scout team, sometimes you dont have the depth, Liufau said. SSometimes you dont have the players to go out there and give us a half-decent look.dddddddddddd. Hes done a really good job this year of going out there and playing ball.Some unsung heroes are players who paid their dues for years and were finally rewarded with a shot. At UCLA that guy is quarterback Mike Fafaul, a former walk-on who became a starter with Josh Rosen sidelined by a shoulder injury.A fifth-year senior, Fafaul was a scout team regular while the starting job was held by Brett Hundley and later Rosen. Last season he appeared in just one game.He learned hed make his first career start during warmups before the Bruins game at Washignton State on Oct. 15. In a 52-45 loss to Utah back the following week, Fafaul set school records for completions and pass attempts (40-for-70) while amassing 464 yards passing with five touchdowns.He got his first career win -- and the game ball -- last week when the Bruins defeated Oregon State 38-24.Hes everything that you want in a quarterback in terms of studying the game and it being serious to him, coach Jim Mora said.Sometimes an unsung hero can be a senior who has just worked unselfishly throughout his career. At Oregon State thats safety Devin Chappell, who has had to shift positions because of injuries that have struck the Beavers defense.Chappell,a walk-on transfer from nearby Western Oregon, started eight games last season, and this spring his teammates named him one of the captains.Devin is one of those guys. Hes a self-made guy, coach Gary Andersen said. He walked on, got a scholarship -- which was so important to him. Hes a good player in this league and hes proven. Hes a team captain and a great leader. He would definitely be labeled a grinder.Stanford guard Johnny Caspers, a fifth-year senior, is much like that, too, Cardinal Coach David Shaw said.Even before the coaches get to everybody, there are guys like Johnny Caspers setting the table saying, `Heres what were going to do. So theres a connection between the coaches and the leaders of the football team, Shaw said. When things are going well, Johnny is one of those guys who say `Hey, hey, hey, hey, we havent won a Super Bowl yet. We got a game this week, lets get back down to things that were supposed to do.---AP Sports Writer Pat Graham in Colorado and Greg Beacham in Los Angeles contributed to this report, as did AP freelancers Rick Eymer in California and Anthony Gimino in Arizona.---For more college football: http://collegefootball.ap.or
