FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Cheap Chris Conte Jersey . -- Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes. Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 60-yard field goal. The New England Patriots didnt allow a point for more than 58 minutes. More importantly, theyre not getting carried away with their 30-7 preseason blowout of the Panthers on Friday night. "We could have lost 30-7. None of its going to matter two weeks from now" in the season opener, Brady said. "Its not so much the final score. Its just more how guys are playing." Carolinas didnt play very well. They were outgained 405-271, allowed three quarterbacks to direct scoring drives and didnt score until Joe Webb threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to D.J. Jefferson with 1:12 left. "There was no consistency in the way we played," said Panthers coach Ron Rivera, who may use his regulars longer than he had hope next Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. "Its something that has to be corrected and has to be fixed now." Brady led the Patriots (2-1) to scores on three of his five series and completed 17 of 21 passes for 204 yards. Newton was 8 for 12 for 88 yards and was sacked three times. All five of his possessions ended in punts. Both quarterbacks left after their first series of the third quarter. Regulars usually see their most action in the third game, and it was clear that the Panthers (1-2) must get better play from their offence and from a defence that was the second stingiest in the NFL last season. New England had more time to prepare after beating the Philadelphia Eagles 42-35 a week earlier. "Theres no game plan," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "We cant game plan for 90 guys. We can barely get it right when we have 46. Thats just not what this game is." The Panthers had just four days to get ready after last Sunday nights 28-16 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. "Thats an excuse," Rivera said. "I dont want to use excuses. We practiced. We had a good game plan." Rivera would like to limit Newtons running, despite his skill, and one dash Friday night appeared to stun the quarterback. He was tackled after running 7 yards when he couldnt find a receiver. Trainers went on the field to check on him, and he was replaced by Derek Anderson before returning after one play. Newton had the wind knocked out of him and X-rays on his back were negative, Rivera said. Brady played the first two series before Ryan Mallett came in for some snaps against the first-string defence. His drive ended with a 47-yard field goal by Gostkowski. "A lot of the breakdowns we had today were because of lack of communication," Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly said. The first of Bradys two long drives covered 91 yards and ended with a 40-yard touchdown on a pass to Shane Vereen that the back carried for the last 37. Brady completed 4 of 5 passes for 83 yards on the series. His next drive began at his own 9 with 1:47 left in the half and ended with Gostkowskis long field goal, 6 yards better than his career long. "Its really a win-win situation," Gostkowski said. "Nobody really expects you to make it so it really puts your mind at ease." In the third quarter, Brady ended an 80-yard march with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Vereen that made it 20-0. On the next series, Carolina moved from its 20 to the Patriots 7, but Steve Beauharnais intercepted Andersons pass and returned it 61 yards to the Carolina 35. That drive ended in a 21-yard field goal by Gostkowski, and the Patriots tacked on another touchdown on Jimmy Garoppolos 11-yard pass to Taylor McCuller. "The days are winding down until these games count, so it gets pretty exciting here in a few weeks," Brady said, "but youve still got to try to use these days to make as many improvements as we can." NOTES: Patriots LB Jerod Mayo missed his second straight game, although he was in uniform. TE Rob Gronkowski also sat out as he aims to be ready for the regular season after knee surgery. ...

The 90-plus minutes of play are about trends and approach.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Brian Roberts and Derek Jeter joked around the batting cage before the game at Angel Stadium, wondering which old guy would be the last to hit his first homer of the season. Even Roberts was a bit surprised to beat the captain in that competition, and he did it at a key moment for the New York Yankees. Roberts hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the ninth inning, and the Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 Tuesday night for just their second victory in seven games. Roberts connected with two outs against Ernesto Frieri (0-3), putting his first homer with his new club into the elevated right field stands. After the game, the ball was nestled in the locker of the longtime Baltimore infielder. "Never hit a homer in any other uniform, so Ill take it home," said Roberts, who also had an early RBI single. "I feel like Ive gotten a lot more comfortable. Sometimes, some things just click. Its been nice to get something going a little bit." After a slow start in pinstripes, Roberts is steadily improving at the plate, according to manager Joe Girardi. The Yankees unassuming replacement for second baseman Robinson Cano now has the same number of homers as Cano has hit for the Seattle Mariners this season. Alfonso Soriano had a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning, and David Robertson pitched the ninth for his fifth save in an all-around encouraging effort by the Yankees. Hiroki Kuroda had his longest and best start of the season, allowing just one earned run and not walking a batter while striking out eight in 7 2-3 innings. The Japanese right-hander is winless in four starts, but he largely shut down the Angels. "When Kuroda pitched the way he did, you need to win those games," Roberts said. Mike Trout tripled and scored the tying run on Albert Pujols two-out single off Shawn Kelley (1-2) in the eighth inning for the Angels, who had won five of seven on their nine-game homestand. Erick Aybar and Trout drove in runs with consecutive sacrifice flies in the third inning for the Angels, but their combustible bullpen let them down again after eight solid innings by C. Cheap Demar Dotson Jersey. J. Wilson. Frieri had been pitching well since losing his job as the Angels closer, and manager Mike Scioscia isnt discouraged. "(Frieri) just made one mistake tonight," Scioscia said. "He just yanked one pitch to Roberts, but give Roberts credit. He was ready for it." The Angels couldnt reward Wilson, who yielded seven hits and struck out five in just his second non-winning start since April 1. Wilson hit Jeter with a pitch to open the eighth, and Carlos Beltrans seeing-eye grounder up the middle sent Jeter to third. Jeter was tagged out after Mark Teixeiras grounder, but Sorianos single to left easily scored Beltran. "This is a lineup that typically goes up there and swings for damage," Wilson said of the Yankees. "But today they made a concerted effort to put the ball in play and make contact. I didnt have a lot of strikeouts because they were just fighting pitches off and stuff. They did a really good job of that." Trout snapped an 0-for-12 skid with a two-out triple off the top of the right-field wall in the eighth, barely missing a tying homer. Trout has never gone more than 14 at-bats without a hit in his major league career, but he had something close to a slump when he struck out on a pitch in the dirt to end the fifth, stranding two runners. "We all know how good a hitter he is," Kuroda said through a translator. "At that moment (in the eighth), I tried to just attack him and see how it goes. I dont feel bad about it." The hit chased Kuroda, and Pujols worked a full count from Shawn Kelley before delivering a clean single to left-centre. NOTES: Jeter was serenaded with chants of his name and a standing ovation for the second straight night of his final regular-season series at the Big A. He reached base three times, getting the Yankees first hit in the third inning. ... Wilson has thrown at least 111 pitches in all seven of his starts this season. ... Kuroda is winless in his last 10 road starts.
