MONTREAL -- The Montreal Impact were in no mood to celebrate despite winning for the first time in their last four games. Montreal was eliminated from CONCACAF Champions League competition despite a 2-0 win over CD Heredia on Tuesday night. The Impact, who won the Amway Canadian Championship, needed to score early and often to keep their slim hopes of advancing past the group stage alive. Montreal, which had lost its last two Major League Soccer games at home, managed the first part when Daniele Paponi scored just four minutes in to the delight of the enthusiastic Saputo Stadium crowd of 13,703. Andrew Wenger made it 2-0 in the 54th minute but the Impact needed to win by at least six goals to avoid being knocked out of their second Champions League competition, and their first since 2008. "It is bittersweet," said Montreal goalkeeper Evan Bush, who played every minute of the Impacts games in ACC and CONCACAF Champions League competition. "After the game you cant really celebrate it. Youre happy you won and psychologically its good to break a three-game losing streak over the two competitions, but at the same time we knew what we had to do and the goal was 6-0, not 2-0." CD Heredia would have clinched the three-team Group 5 with a draw or a win after 1-0 victories in both of their home games against Montreal and the San Jose Earthquakes. "The Impact are a very fast team so we had to adjust our strategy," CD Heredia coach Juan Carlos Elias said in Spanish through an interpreter. "Our tactics werent as good as theirs were. They were just faster on the ball. They were just faster in every situation than we were." The Guatemalan side can still move through to the championship round with a point in the final group stage game next month in San Jose. An Earthquakes win on Oct. 23 would bring about a three-way tie and San Jose, which beat Montreal 3-0 last Tuesday, would advance by virtue of the best goal-differential. The Impact are third in the MLS Eastern Conference with 45 points in 28 games. They play in Chicago on Saturday and are on the road for four of their six remaining regular season games. "It was very important to finish like this for the morale," Montreal coach Marco Schallibaum said. "I think the team was very well prepared and they had a good mentality tonight. Of course they could have scored more goals, it was only 2-0, but I think the way they played tonight, I think thats the way we want to go with together because the guys gave everything for the club and the result. We won the game, but that was not enough, but I think the base was very solid." Defender Hassoun Camara and midfielder Felipe were the only two regulars in Montreals starting 11, which included three Quebecers on the back line -- defenders Karl Ouimette, Maxim Tissot and Wandrille Lefevre. "Its incredible the experience you get by just being on the field and playing at this level," Ouimette said. Marco Di Vaio entered in the 57th minute and quickly made his presence felt. The 37-year-old Italian striker dove to head Wengers centring pass, forcing goalkeeper Jose Calderon to dive to his right to deny Di Vaios sparkling attempt. Impact forward Justin Mapp replaced Andrea Pisanu 66 minutes in. Both Di Vaio and Mapp put drives off the post as the Impact pressed for more offence without success. "We came out there and right from the get-go we attacked," Wenger said. "It was a very open game and we showed some quality, unfortunately we werent as decisive in five more moments and that would have -- obviously wed be celebrating, everything would be perfect now, but we put in a good showing." Paponi was shown a yellow card 78 minutes in by Jamaican referee Courtney Campbell, who judged that the Montreal forward dove when he was met with a challenge from behind as he approached the 18-yard box. "I was sure it was a foul and when the referee came to me I thought it was a joke," Paponi said in Italian through an interpreter. "When I got the card I was in disbelief. The referee didnt say anything but even the defender on the other team admitted to me that it was a foul." The crowds enthusiasm had long soured by that point after starting off the game with a bang. A small fireworks rocket came shooting out of the Ultras section behind CD Heredias goal and exploded over the field less than two minutes in. Smoke from the stands was swirling around the goalmouth when Paponi scored four minutes in, putting away a rebound of Felipes shot. CD Heredia came close to evening the score in the 26th minute but Charles Cordobas shot while prone in a goalmouth scramble went off Impact defender Karl Ouimettes face and stayed out. Paponi had an opportunity in stoppage time at the end of the first half but Calderon came out to challenge and clear the ball from harm. Wenger added Montreals second goal when he was sent in alone on a through ball from Tissot. Hydro Flask Belgie . Wall made the comment in a speech to a Regina business crowd that included Lesnar.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- If it was David Prices last start for the Tampa Bay Rays, it will go down as one of his best. Price struck out 11, becoming the first pitcher in 10 years to fan at least 10 in five straight starts, and the Rays beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-1 on Wednesday. "Ive never been as good as I am right now, period. Not in 2012 (when he won the Cy Young Award), not in college, not in high school," declared Price, who is rumoured to be on the trading block from the last-place Rays. "This is the best pitcher Ive ever been. I feel in complete control on the mound at all times, "Im throwing all my pitches on both sides of the plate, and thats tough to do." Price (6-7) gave up five hits and one walk in 8 1-3 innings, leaving the game after Andrew McCutchens home run in the ninth. "(Finishing the game) is something I wanted to do for sure," Price said, "but I understand Joe (Maddon) coming out there after McCutchen hit the home run. The last batter at Vanderbilt was a home run, my last batter last year was a home run, and now you guys think Im out of here and my last hitter for the Rays was a home run again." The last pitcher with five straight starts with 10 strikeouts was Minnesotas Johan Santana from June 20-July 11, 2004. Price also set a franchise record for strikeouts in a month with 54. He went 2-3 in five June starts. "Im sure its been said before: Price was right today," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "His 107th pitch was 97 (mph), so he was on his game today. Hess been one of the best for a while.dddddddddddd" Ben Zobrists RBI triple highlighted the Rays three-run first inning off Charlie Morton. Desmond Jennings and James Loney had singles, and Kevin Kiermaier drove in a run with a sacrifice fly. Morton (4-9) struck out a career-high 11 in seven innings, giving up four hits. Price was backed by defensive plays that included Evan Longoria landing in the first row of the stands after making a running catch of a popup, and centre fielder Jennings running down Neil Walkers 400-foot line drive at the wall with two men on base. "The way David pitched today, youve got to try to make all the plays for him," Jennings said. "If he pitches like that, which he normally does, you just want to go out and do your job." McCutchens homer was his 12th of the season and eighth this month. The Pirates failed for the seventh time this season to finish off a series sweep of at least three games.
