NEW YORK -- NBCs coverage of the Rio Olympics on Sunday included controversy over a commentator comment and some harrowing video of the treacherous cycling road race. A look at the Rio Olympics through a media lens:SECOND THOUGHTS: With live TV, NBC swimming commentator Dan Hicks said Sunday, there are often times you look back and wish you had said things differently. He spoke less than 24 hours after being criticized for calling the coach and husband of Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszu the guy responsible for a career turnaround that led to her gold medal swim on Saturday. Hicks said it was impossible to tell Hosszus story without citing the work of coach Shane Tusup. Online critics said it was sexist to give so much praise to a male coach for a female athletes performance.ROUGH RIDE: The heart-stopping womens cycling race, won at the last moment by Dutch rider Anna van der Breggen, was expertly called Sunday afternoon by NBCs team of Paul Sherwen and Christian Vande Velde. While they sometimes get lost in the weeds of their sports technicalities, the two men skillfully anticipated key moments. Vande Velde noted ahead of time that American rider Mara Abbott, who had a large lead but was caught at the end, was better on the mountains than the level course where the race concluded. Earlier, he predicted a high probability of broken bones during a rain-slicked mountain descent on a course where several men had crashed a day earlier. Moments later, cameras caught the frightening wipeout of Dutch rider Annemiek van Vleuten, the races leader at the time.RATINGS: NBC averaged 20.7 million viewers Saturday for its first night of Olympics prime-time competition. Like with Fridays opening ceremony, it was a smaller audience than for the London games in 2012 (which had 27.3 million viewers for the corresponding night). NBC said part of the reason the prime-time numbers are down is because viewers are streaming Olympics coverage on portable devices. Also, the Nielsen company said 2.2 million viewers watched prime-time Olympics programming on the NBCSN and Bravo cable networks Saturday.Wholesale NHL Jerseys Authentic .

PETERSBURG, Fla.DETROIT - With Justin Masterson on the mound against a Detroit rookie making his big league debut, this seemed like a good chance for the Cleveland Indians to avoid a sweep. Instead, they lost their seventh game in a row, sliding further behind the Tigers in the AL Central standings. Jose Alvarez pitched six impressive innings in his major league debut, and Don Kelly hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the sixth to help the Tigers to a 4-1 victory over the Indians on Sunday. The three-game sweep gave first-place Detroit a 5 1/2-game lead in the division over Cleveland. "Its a long season. We cant worry about it," said Ryan Raburn, who homered to drive in Clevelands only run. "Were playing as hard as we can. Just not catching any breaks." Alvarez (1-0) was starting because of Anibal Sanchezs shoulder tightness, and he held Cleveland hitless until Raburns fifth-inning homer. The 24-year-old left-hander allowed three hits and a walk and struck out seven. "He pitched a great game," Masterson said. "Especially for his major league debut. ... Kept us off balance." Drew Smyly pitched two innings of relief. Joaquin Benoit finished for his third save. Masterson (8-5) allowed four runs in seven innings. He gave up a walk to Miguel Cabrera and a single to Prince Fielder to start the Detroit sixth. One out later, Kelly lifted a drive over the wall in right field. "I dont even think it was a mistake," Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. "Just trying to change the eye level, got it down and in. Actually, it wasnt a strike and it got in his swing path. ... Give Kelly credit — a tough pitch to hit." The Tigers have built their division lead behind terrific starting pitching. Sanchez has been perhaps their best pitcher so far, but Detroit skipped the right-handers start Sunday because of tightneess in the back of his throwing shoulder.dddddddddddd Enter Alvarez, whose contract was purchased from Triple-A Toledo before the game. He baffled the Indians during the early innings, allowing only a leadoff walk to Mark Reynolds in the second before Raburn — the former Tiger — tied the game at 1 with his seventh homer of the season. The left-handed hitting Kelly brought a .190 average into the game, but Detroit manager Jim Leyland started him against Masterson, who is tough on righties. The move paid off with Kellys third homer of the year, which gave the Tigers a 4-1 lead. "It was a slider down and in, and I was able to put a good swing on it," Kelly said. "I didnt know right away if I got it or not." Detroits bullpen was a bit taxed — and a man short because the Tigers had to add an extra starter for this game. They were able to wrap up this win with Smyly and Benoit while resting closer Jose Valverde. Detroits Alex Avila opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the second. Masterson allowed six hits. He walked three and struck out four. NOTES: Indians closer Chris Perez (sore right shoulder) is expected to throw off a mound Tuesday. Perez and his wife were charged in a complaint filed Friday with misdemeanour drug possession involving just over one-third of a pound of marijuana, police in Ohio said.
