FLORHAM PARK, N.J. --?New York Jets safety Calvin Pryor?was?fined $25,000 by the NFL for hitting Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin above the neck/shoulder area in Week 4. On Wednesday, Pryor said he will appeal the fine because he believes the amount is excessive for a first-time offender.I dont know if it was a clean hit or not, but I dont think it was worth $25,000, Pryor said.Pryor was penalized for unnecessary roughness on the play -- a 37-yard reception in the Jets 27-17 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. Baldwin got up slowly but finished the game.Explaining what happened, Pryor said he turned late and tried to lower his target, but he was already falling, so it was kind of hard. It was a bang-bang play.According to the leagues fine schedule, a first-time offender can be fined $24,309 for a hit on a defenseless player.Pryor has a reputation as a fierce hitter, but he disputed the notion that hes a cheap-shot artist.Im a clean hitter, he said. I never got flagged for any hit. This is my first one, dating back to high school, college, anything. I was kind of surprised (by the fine), but it is what it is.The fine marked Pryors first career penalty, according to NFL stats. He entered the league as a first-round pick in 2014.Asked what he believes would be a fair fine amount, he said: Zero. Im thinking about my daughter, my family and the [things] I could do with $25,000. Ill see what they say and keep playing football. Javy Lopez Jersey Braves .

He didnt miss it. Desmond hit a grand slam in the 11th inning and the Washington Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 Wednesday night, avoiding a three-game sweep. Jayson Werths RBI single with two outs in the ninth tied it off Jonathan Papelbon, who blew a save for the second time in three nights after starting the season 13 for 13. Starters Kyle Kendrick and Gio Gonzalez both were outstanding, but wound up with no-decisions. Kendrick allowed one run and two hits, striking out six in 7 2-3 innings. Gonzalez gave up two runs and two hits, tying a career-high with 11 strikeouts in seven innings. He didnt allow a hit after the second batter. Ryan Zimmerman hit a one-out double off Mike Stutes (2-1) in the 11th. After Adam LaRoche was intentionally walked, Werth walked to load the bases. Desmond took a 1-2 pitch that had manager Charlie Manuel screaming at plate umpire Alfonso Marquez from the dugout. "It looked like it couldve been a strike," Manuel said. Desmond drove the next pitch out to left-centre. "I was adjusting all night," Desmond said. "I had too many long swings. I just wanted to see the white ball and put the barrel on it." Drew Storen (2-1) pitched a scoreless 10th to earn the win. "We needed to show the Phillies were still hanging around," Nats manager Davey Johnson said. Papelbon was a strike away from securing a save Monday night before allowing a tying homer to Chad Tracy. The Phillies won it in the bottom half on Domonic Browns RBI single with two outs. Denard Span reached on an infield to start the Washington ninth. He went to second when LaRoche walked with two outs. Werth followed with a single to left to score Span. "As a closer, its important for me to finish it off for the starters," Papelbon said. "Its a tough pill to swallow. I still got too make the pitch to Werth.dddddddddddd" Michael Young hit a two-run homer to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead in the first. He surpassed 1,000 career RBIs on the homer, becoming the 242nd player in major league history to reach that total. RBIs became an official stat in 1920. The Phillies didnt get another hit until Carlos Ruiz singled with two outs in the 10th. Kendrick retired 16 straight before walking Zimmerman with one out in the seventh. Zimmerman went to second on a groundout and scored on Werths line-drive single. Ben Revere hit a single to lead off Philadelphias first, extending his hitting streak to 10. Young then connected for just the third time this season. Gonzalez got six of his strikeouts on Ryan Howard and Brown, who is second in the NL with 19 homers. "I think thats one of the best game weve had as a team all year," Gonzalez said. "We battled, made adjustments and came out on top." Coming off his worst outing of the season -- seven runs and 10 hits in 4 1-3 innings at Colorado -- Kendrick controlled the Nationals with a sharp sinker. He got 13 outs on grounders. Kendrick has been Philadelphias second-best starter behind Cliff Lee and has allowed two runs or less in 10 of his 15 starts.
