JOHANNESBURG -- Oscar Pistorius was treated for minor wrist injuries at a hospital and has been returned to a South African jail where the Olympian is serving a six-year sentence for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, prison officials said Sunday.The report of injuries to Pistorius, who denied he had attempted suicide, came as athletes began competition at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Pistorius and his coach said before Steenkamps 2013 killing that they wanted to retire together at the Rio games.Pistorius told officials that he suffered the injuries after falling out of bed, said Singabakho Nxumalo, a spokesman for South Africas correctional services department.The former track star was initially treated by medical staff at the Kgosi Mampuru II prison in Pretoria, and then transferred to Kalafong hospital, said Manelisi Wolela, another official at the department. Pistorius was returned to his cell on Saturday, and an investigation is underway.Oscar Pistorius denied speculations of a suicide attempt, Wolela said in a text message to media.As a policy principle, we cannot further discuss a particular offenders personal condition in the public domain, he said.Pistorius family declined to comment, referring inquiries to the correctional services department.Pistorius has been held in a single cell in the hospital wing of the prison, reducing his interaction with other inmates.During Pistorius sentencing hearing in June, a psychologist testified for the defense that the athlete was a broken man whose mental state had deteriorated over the last two years, and that he should be hospitalized and not jailed. Prosecutors have challenged such assessments, saying Pistorius has an aggressive streak and may have played up vulnerabilities in an attempt to win leniency from the judge presiding over his case.Commenting on the decision to send Pistorius to a hospital, Nxumalo referred to past reports of tension between the convicted murderer and a prison nurse who testified about alleged confrontations over medication and other issues while the runner was serving an earlier manslaughter sentence. Pistorius defense team suggested those reports were exaggerated.Last month, South African prosecutors said they would appeal Pistorius jail sentence, saying it was too lenient. The double-amputee athlete, who was sentenced on July 6, could be released on parole after three years. The prescribed minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years, though a judge can reduce that penalty in some circumstances.Pistorius also previously served one year in prison for manslaughter for shooting Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model and reality TV star. That manslaughter conviction was upgraded to the more serious offense of murder after a prosecution appeal, leading to a new sentencing.Pistorius shot Steenkamp multiple times through a toilet cubicle door in his home in the predawn hours of Valentines Day, 2013. Pistorius testified that he killed Steenkamp by mistake, thinking there was an intruder hiding in the bathroom. Prosecutors said he shot her intentionally after an argument.Pistorius, known as Blade Runner for his carbon-fiber running blades, gained worldwide fame when he ran against able-bodied athletes at the 2012 London Olympics, the first amputee runner to compete at the Games.Pistorius was born without fibulas, the slender bones that run from below the knee to the ankle. His lower legs were amputated when he was 11 months old. Cheap Stitched Jerseys .

The Cleveland Indians somehow pulled out a game they had no business winning. "Best game Ive ever been a part of," said Perez. "It was the craziest, most fun ... obviously, it stunk to give up a home run, but it was still fun." Yan Gomes hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning as the Indians, revived by Seattle fielding errors in the final two innings, beat the Mariners 10-8 on Monday to complete a four-game sweep and continue a season thats shaping into one to remember in Cleveland. Gomes, who also homered in the second, drove a 3-2 pitch from Charlie Furbush (0-3) over the wall in left, giving the Indians their fifth straight win, third walk-off over the Mariners in four days, and one of the most improbable victories in memory. As Gomes reached the plate, he was mobbed by his teammates following the comeback that became necessary after Clevelands bullpen gave up homers in the eighth, ninth and 10th innings. "You dont look up very often and see your opponent score three straight innings and you win," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "That was interesting." Incredible, really. It was the Indians first four-game sweep of Seattle since 1981, and the rally gave Cleveland its 18th win in 22 games. Joe Smith (2-0) won despite giving up a go-ahead homer to Justin Smoak in the 10th and the Indians improved to a major league-best 21-7 since April 20. Ryan Raburn hit a three-run homer for Cleveland, which opened a 2 1-2 game lead over the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central. The teams play a two-game series starting Tuesday. The Mariners got a tying homer by Kyle Seager in the eighth off Vinnie Pestano and a go-ahead shot by pinch-hitter Endy Chavez in the ninth off Perez, but couldnt close it out because of their own miscues. "It was another weird game," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "Were just on the south side of things right now." The Indians were an out away from losing in the ninth when Seattle closer Tom Wilhelmsen dropped an underhanded toss while covering first, allowing the Indians to tie it at 7. After Smoak homered in the 10th, the Indians were three outs away from losing when the Mariners helped them again. Michael Brantley singled and Drew Stubbs followed with a bunt that Furbush, seeking his first career save, fielded but bobbled. The left-hander rushed his throw to first and would have had Stubbs -- umpire Tim Timmons called him out -- but Smoak dropped the ball. Gomes then delivered his game-winning homer, taking an unexpected trip around the bases after it looked as if the Indians were finished. "Moments like that, you just want to get back to your teammates," said Gomes, "just run around and make sure yyou dont miss a base.dddddddddddd It was exciting. You just dont know what to do with your hands. I was like, Wow, this games done." It was another sign of resiliency by the Indians. "Youre supposed to play til they send you home," Francona said. "Its a good feeling. Once you do it a few times I think that breeds some confidence. Whether its picking each other up, its getting contagious, and thats good." The final three innings bordered on the absurd as the Mariners took the lead only to give it away with bone-headed plays. "We kept coming back and kept taking the lead," Wedge said. "We werent able to make plays or make pitches when we needed to late. We werent able to finish things off." Wilhelmsens error in the ninth not only cost the Mariners a certain win, but it allowed Perez to escape a loss after he gave up the homer to Chavez. It was another bad outing for Perez, who allowed back-to-back homers in the ninth on Saturday but wound up getting a win. "I didnt my job today, but you cant feel sorry for yourself or hang your head," said Perez, who has managed to keep his sense of humour despite the rough outings. The only runs Ive given up this year have been solo home runs. Maybe if I can walk the leadoff hitter, wed be all right." With Seattle trailing 6-5 in the eighth, Seager homered off Pestano, who recently came off the disabled list, into the Mariners bullpen for his fifth homer. The Indians took a 6-5 lead in the seventh off Yoervis Medina without hitting the ball beyond the infield grass. Starter Hisashi Iwakuma was tagged by the Indians for five runs in four innings, but the right-hander settled in and retired the final seven hitters he faced. He gave up seven hits and struck out six in six innings. Indians starter Scott Kazmir didnt get out of the fourth as the teams combined for 10 runs and 14 hits through four innings. Raburn and Gomes hit back-to-back, two-out homers in the second, when the Indians caught a break to take a 4-2 lead. With Carlos Santana on with a one-out double, Mark Reynolds just missed a homer, flying out to the track in left. Brantley walked and Raburn fell into an 0-2 hole and appeared to take strike three, but plate umpire Laz Diaz called Iwakumas pitch a ball to give Raburn new life. He made the most of it, connecting for his fifth homer to make it 3-2. Gomes followed with a shot onto the pedestrian porch in left. NOTES: The Indians are 10-1 against the AL West. ...
