TSNs Friday Night Football coverage kicks off with the Battle of Alberta as the Calgary Stampeders play host to the Edmonton Eskimos in both teams preseason openers. Wholesale Jerseys From China . Catch all the action live on TSN2 starting at 9pm et/6pm pt. The game is also available TSN Mobile TV. The Stampeders will be looking to exact a measure of revenge against their provincial rivals after the Eskimos eliminated the Stamps in last years West semifinal. Drew Tate is expected to get the start at quarterback for the Stamps. Tate heads into 2012 as the Stamps number one pivot after taking over for the since departed Henry Burris at the end of last season. Stampeders head coach and general manager manager John Hufnagel was impressed enough by Tates performance in the last four games of the season that he signed the QB to a three-year extension and traded Burris to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. To provide insurance for Tate, Hufnagel acquired veteran Kevin Glenn from the Ticats as part of the Burris trade, and he will serve as the Stamps backup. Not only did the Stamps jettison their all-time leading passer in Burris, they also cut ties with their all-time leading rusher, Joffrey Reynolds. Reynolds replacement is late-season sensation Jon Cornish, who will now be counted on to shoulder the majority of the carries. .The Stamps are hoping the strong late-season showings of Tate and Cornish will translate into productive 2012 campaigns. The Stampeders will not be the only team that takes the field Friday night that is going through a transition. The Eskimos made some serious offseason changes, most notably trading star quarterback Ricky Ray to the Toronto Argonauts. In return for Ray, the Eskimos acquired talented young quarterback Steven Jyles. .Second year head coach Kavis Reed has said that Jyles is the teams number one QB, but he will be pushed by veteran Kerry Joseph. Neither Jyles or Joseph are expected to see action in the preseason opener. The starting nod is expected to be given to youngster Matt Nichols, who is in a battle for a roster position with Jeremiah Masoli and Brandon Summers, who are also expected to see action. The Eskimos will also be without star wide out Fred Stamps, who is still recovering from offseason groin surgery. Still, Reed says he has no concerns that Stamps -- who has recorded three straight 1,000 yard receiving seasons, and is being counted on to develop the kind of chemistry with the new QBs that he had with Ray -- to be ready for the season opener on June 30.

CHICAGO -- Jeff Bianchi added another souvenir to his trophy case, and this one caught his manager by surprise. Bianchi hit a three-run shot for his first big league homer, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-1 win over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night. Bianchi went deep off Travis Wood (4-11) with two outs in the second for Milwaukee, which has won seven of eight overall and has beaten the Cubs seven straight times. The 25-year-old rookie was given the green light on a 3-0 pitch and drilled it into the left field seats. "I didnt expect him to swing," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "He had the green light, but I didnt expect him to swing. I was glad he did -- not just because of the outcome, but hes got the pitcher behind him." Bianchi started his big league career 0 for 15 but had hits in four straight plate appearances coming in before homering in his first at-bat against Wood. "It calmed me down a little bit," Bianchi said of his first big league hit, which came on Saturday. "I dont think I was putting too much pressure on myself, because Ive gone 0 for (15) before in my career." Bianchi was with the Cubs for about a month during the off-season after being claimed off waivers from the Kansas City Royals in December. Chicago also waived him in January to free up a roster spot, and he was claimed by the Brewers. Yovani Gallardo (14-8) won his seventh straight start, holding Chicago to one run and three hits over seven innings and striking out nine. Gallardo has won six straight starts since July 31, pitching seven or more innings in each. Hes held the Cubs to a single run in each of his last four appearances at Wrigley Field. "Ive been able to command my curveball. That makes a huge difference," Gallardo said. "I made some mistakes with the fastball tonight, but being able to throw that curveball for a strike opens a little bit more." John Axford finished up for his 21st save in 29 chances. Wood settled down after Bianchis homer and allowed just two baserunners over his final five innings. Wood has allowed three runs or fewer in five of his last six starts -- all losses. Wood lost for the eighth time in nine starrts despite limiting Milwaukee to five hits and three runs over seven innings. Wholesale Jerseys Store. "(Wood) did a great job," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "Obviously he just threw the 3-0 pitch trying to get back in the count was kind of the difference in the ballgame. He put a good swing on the ball that really we didnt have all night." The Cubs have lost 21 of their last 27 games. Wood provided the only offence on the night for Chicago, going deep off Gallardo in the third inning for this third career home run. Milwaukee has beaten Chicago in 12 of their last 15 meetings, including Mondays 15-4 drubbing which lasted 3 hours, 43 minutes. Tuesdays game moved at a much brisker pace. Milwaukee tacked on a run in the eighth when Norichika Aoki doubled and stole third. He came home when Shawn Camp picked Rickie Weeks off first. As the Cubs chased Weeks in a rundown, Aoki slid home with the run on what was scored a fielders choice. The Cubs beleaguered bullpen entered the game with a 6.09 ERA in August. After Alfonso Sorianos third-inning walk, Gallardo retired the last 13 Cubs he faced, striking out five. Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro went 1 for 4, singling in his first at-bat and striking out to end the game. Before the game, Chicago announced that it had agreed to a seven-year extension with Castro, including an option for an eighth year that would keep Castro in a Cubs uniform past his 30th birthday. NOTES: Before the game, the Cubs activated RHP Blake Parker from the 60-day DL. Parker had been out since June 6 with a right elbow stress reaction. ... LHP Alex Hinshaw was designated for assignment one night after he allowed five runs, including three consecutive homers, without retiring a batter during Milwaukees nine-run ninth. ... Roenicke was pleased to hear the Baltimore Orioles signed LHP Randy Wolf, who Milwaukee released Aug. 22. "Hopefully he can go in there and start off well, and they like him enough to where hell be part of what they do," Roenicke said. ... Darwin Barney completed his 113th consecutive errorless game at second base for Chicago, tying an NL record set by San Diegos David Eckstein in 2010. ' ' '
