ST. LOUIS -- Former Cy Young award winner Chris Carpenter took another step toward possibly returning to the mound by tossing a pain-free bullpen session prior to Friday nights game with the Colorado Rockies. The 38-year-olds career appeared as if it may be over when it was announced in February that he was unlikely to pitch in 2013 as he was still suffering from chronic pain in his neck, shoulder and arm. Those same symptoms shelved Carpenter for 150 games last season, though he returned late and pitched in the post-season. But when his arm felt pain free this spring after playing catch with his 10-year-old son Sam, Carpenter notified Cardinals General Manager John Mozeliak and was given the go ahead to try again. Fridays bullpen session was the fourth for the 38-year-old Carpenter, who tossed about 70 pitches, including a wide variety of breaking balls. "My arm has come back and I feel strong," Carpenter said. "Im not trying to be a hero or do anything crazy. I just want to go out and see if I can pitch." Manager Mike Matheny and pitching coach Derek Lilliquist watched Carpenters session. Matheny said he was impressed. "Im excited for him," Matheny said. "We didnt know exactly what we were dealing with at this time in his career. But fortunately, he made a (good) turn and he feels better. He looks good." Carpenter is 144-94 for his career, which has been beset by injuries that have cost him the better part of five seasons. He knows not to get too excited about a bullpen session. "Im not going to have super-high expectations," Carpenter said. "But as long as it continues to go well, Im going to go out there and take that next step."Cheap Fake Jerseys .

Pavit admitted he didnt know Lahiri was on a birdie blitz and said, I didnt see the scores on the back nine as there was no leaderboard.Lahiri said: One of the things that didnt help me was there was no leaderboards on the 16 and 17. If he had seen I had caught up and I was two back, on the 17the tee, it would be a harder shot. If hes thinking hes four ahead, its easier for him to play the last two holes.The first seven holes belonged to Pavit, who started one behind Lahiri. Pavit birdied four times, while the Indian was two-over. Pavit was 13-under after seven on Sunday, while Lahhiri was eight-under walking off the seventh green.ddddddddddddChikka was 12-under and Chan Shih-chang nine-under. Then Lahiri began his charge over the next 11 holes. He birdied the eighth and ninth, parred 10th and bogeyed 11th.The last seven were successive birdies, including a near-eagle at the very end. In the play-off Lahiri went into the rough and it was all over, when he went into the water on the second shot, and Pavit captured his first Asian Tour title.It was Lahiris third second place in four years at Venetian Macao Open. He had won in 2014.Its been a struggle the last few months but I cant say Im playing my best golf either, Lahiri said. But when it comes down to getting it done, you go into these trains of mind and you dont see anything else but the bottom of the cup.Having got into play-off, he wanted the momentum. I got really quick, he said. On the tee shot, I was happy I won the toss and I wanted to go first and put it on the fairway. I think I rushed into that and I was trying to lay up but the rough was a bit thick. It caught the ball and I pulled it left. I guess that was unfortunate to finish like that. Im happy with the way I played the back nine but disappointed that I finished second again. ' ' '
