BATON ROUGE, La. -- Dwayne Thomas has watched his LSU team blow late leads each of the past two times Alabama visited Tiger Stadium. The senior defensive back has no intention of allowing that to happen in his final shot against the Crimson Tide.?Even more, he feels like the Tigers defense can dominate the offense of the nations top-ranked team Nov. 5.?I just feel like this is the year, Thomas said before Wednesdays practice. Weve been letting them off the hook for the last couple of years. This is my senior year. Were going out with a bang and its time for us to bring that win back. And were going to be at home. I feel like we have the edge to take it to them, and were going to take it to them and I feel like were just going to dominate this game.Alabamas overall winning streak in the series is five games.?Although Crimson Tide freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts has been exceptional, becoming a Heisman Trophy candidate for the nations top-ranked team, Thomas reminded reporters that Hurts has yet to play at Tiger Stadium -- or against LSUs resurgent defense.The Tigers handled Ole Miss and all-SEC quarterback Chad Kelly last Saturday, shutting out an opponent in the second half for the second straight week. Thomas believes they can do the same to Hurts.After hitting him a couple times, most quarterbacks dont like to get hit, Thomas said. They start making mistakes after that, and then with the tight coverage that were going to have on the back end, hes not going to want to go to some of his favorite targets. Thats all we have to do. I really see us dominating this offense. I really see us dominating this team.Thomas realizes predicting his team will dominate an opponent that has won three of the past five national titles will create a stir. The knowledge that his comments could be posted throughout Alabamas locker room didnt seem to bother him.We put stuff up, too, over here, Thomas said. If that helps to motivate, if that helps motivate them, then so be it. We know what motivates us, and thats we want that No. 1 thats next to their [name]. We want it. We want it next to our LSU.The Crimson Tide have pulled out late wins in their past two trips to Tiger Stadium.In 2012, Alabama scored the winning touchdown with 51 seconds remaining. And in 2014, Alabama hit a field goal with 3 seconds left to force overtime.Those are some great [Alabama] teams also, Thomas said. But this year, I feel like were not going to put ourself in harms way to give them anything. We dont turn the ball over on offense and we get turnovers on defense and we make first- and second-down stops, we should come out on top in this game.

CINCINNATI -- Sunday is a significant day for the Cincinnati Reds franchise with Ken Griffey Jr. being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.He was my idol growing up, said Reds right-fielder Jay Bruce. A couple of years (after being drafted by Cincinnati), I was playing center field and he was in right. Now Im standing where he stood (at his former locker). Its unbelievable.Griffey played nine seasons in Cincinnati. Although injuries marred his time there, Griffey hit 210 homers in a Reds uniform including the 500th and 600th homers of his career. He hit 40 homers and drove in 118 runs in 2000, his first season back in his hometown.Even when I got here (2008), there were still some flashes of brilliance, even though he was 35 or 37 and not 100 percent, Bruce said. I couldnt even say it was a dream come true (playing alongside Griffey), because I would never have dared dream it.Bruce celebrated on Saturday night by clubbing a three-run homer, his 20th, to extend his hitting streak to five games in a 6-1 win over Arizona.When Griffey takes the podium for his induction speech in Cooperstown on Sunday afternoon, his former club will be attempting to sweep a three-game series from the D-backs for the first time since 2007.Left-hander Brandon Finnegan takes the mound for Cincinnati for his first career appearances against the D-backs. Eight times in his last 19 starts, Finnegan has allowed two earned runs or fewer and 14 times gave up three or less.Luckk hasnt always been on the leftys side this season.ddddddddddddThree times hes been the victim of a blown save. Finnegan tossed a complete game on May 23 in a 1-0 loss to the Dodgers. He was the Reds starter when the Cubs Jake Arrieta no-hit them on April 21 at Great American Ball Park.Right-hander Zack Godley will start for the Diamondbacks. Hell be making his second career appearance and first start against Cincinnati. He earned the victory on Aug. 22, 2015, at Great American Ball Park allowing one earned run in 3 2/3 innings.The struggling Diamondbacks welcomed back shortstop Chris Owings on Saturday. Hed been on the disabled list with plantar fasciitis.Prior to Saturdays game, Arizona manager Chip Hale promised retribution after Jean Segura was hit by a pitch in his first at-bat after hitting a leadoff homer.We have to protect our teammates, said Hale. We talk about it with our pitchers. I hope these pitchers understand that if theyre going to continue to hit our players, especially when it looks like ... the pitcher hit him because he hit a home run. Theres going to be some retribution at some point.Other than an errant breaking ball from starter Robbie Ray, which sailed over Joey Vottos head, there was no revenge taken on Saturday.Stay tuned Sunday.Most importantly, the Diamondbacks need a win after dropping four straight and 17 of 21.
