The Western Bulldogs are finding new ways to win in 2016, but forward Luke Dahlhaus predicts a carbon-copy AFL arm-wrestle this weekend against Collingwood.The Bulldogs enjoy their first home Friday night match for four years when they open round 21 against the Magpies at Etihad Stadium.If last year was all about high-speed scoring, this campaign has been when the Bulldogs have found the brakes.Last weekends win over North Melbourne was a case in point; the Bulldogs kept the Kangaroos to just 47 points and claimed a 14-point win.Dahlhaus said the Bulldogs took pride from grinding out the tough ones and expected no different against Collingwood under the Friday night lights.If you look at how well theyre tackling and their pressure, its probably going to be pretty dour, he told AAP.It should be one of those games like last week against North; really high tackles and high pressure.Hopefully we can find a way again, play the footy that we have been and get a good win.Thats been the story of the Western Bulldogs in 2016; adapt as needs must.Whether its been injuries or game style, the Bulldogs are the chameleons of the league.A stretch of injuries, many of them major, have forced the Bulldogs to dig deep into their player stocks.They have fielded 37 players in 2016, the most of any AFL finals contender.Dahlhaus confirmed what many Dog-watchers have suspected all season, theres less of an emphasis on speed in Luke Beveridges second campaign at the helm.Teams have got so many scouts and opposition analysts that youve got to find new ways to get through defences and to defend yourself, he said.The interchange changes probably had a little bit of an impact on us and the way we moved the ball too. We probably had to go a bit slower and at times defend a bit better.And our defence has been pretty good. We were rapt to keep North Melbourne to 40-odd last week.Our scoring has been a work in progress all year. Were slowly getting better, getting that fluency.In their last match, Dahlhaus starred with 37 possessions and a goal.Matthew Suckling is expected to return against the Pies, who will put captain Scott Pendlebury through a late fitness test to play.If successful, the Bulldogs would record a fourth-straight win over Collingwood for the first time in 70 years.Dahlhaus said the club would love to do that on the brightest stage in footy.We dont get many opportunities on a Friday night, he said.But it shows how well were going and how weve built a lot of respect over the last year and a half.Weve built up that respect and were getting rewarded for it. http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Danny-Shelton-Jersey/ .

HOUSTON -- While the Houston Astros pitchers are breaking major league records for strikeouts in a series, the bats have gone silent.That trend continued on Thursday night as Astros pitchers struck out 11 and the offense could only muster up one run in a 4-1 loss as the Toronto Blue Jays won the series.Houston pitchers had a major league-record 61 strikeouts in the four-game series -- three more than the previous mark set by Cincinnati pitchers against San Diego in 2008. Astros pitchers also set a three-game series record with 52 against Baltimore from May 24-26.We all hate it collectively because we dont like going through this rut, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. I think the guys are handling it like pros. We believe in this group and they believe in themselves, but sometimes, you need to have a good day to realize all the work and extra conversations are worth it. Its the big leagues and its a game of adjustments -- its not a try-hard league.The Astros have lost eight of their last 10 games while getting outscored 47-21.Its been tough, Astros shortstop Carlos Correa said. Its been really hard to get going. We have not been able to score runs early or late in the games and thats frustrating.After being given a day off Wednesday, Bregman was 1 for 4 with a sixth-inning single. The second overall pick in the 2015 amateur draft, is hitting .056 (2 for 36) since he was brought up July 25.Mike Fiers (7-5) gave up two runs and five hits in seven innings, walking none and tying his second high with seven strikeouts.Obviously, we know weve been struggling with the bats, but as a pitcher, Ive got to go out there and do my job, Fiers said. Everyone just needs to do their job and not worry about what everyone else is doing. Most of the time, we end up scoring and beating teams, but were just going through a rough stretch.J.A. Happ won his ninth consecutive decision, Edwin Encarnacion reached 30 home runs for the fifth straight season en route to their eighth victory in 11 games.Its been a tough place for us to play; we won three games and had a chance to win all four of them, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. So we feel good about that. Not a lot of offense on either side but I think thats because the pitching was so good on both sides. We got some big hits and won some close games.Happ (15-3), who already has set his career high for wins, retired 12 of his first 13 batters and allowed one rrun and four hits in six innings.dddddddddddd He is 9-0 with a 2.49 ERA in 10 starts since losing at Detroit on June 6.Happ struck out six and walked none, and Joaquin Benoit, Jason Grilli and Roberto Osuna completed the five-hitter. After walking rookie Alex Bregman leading off the ninth, Osuna struck out Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa and Evan Gattis for his 24th save in 26 chances.Devon Travis doubled leading off the first inning for the first of his three hits and scored on Josh Donaldsons groundout -- the first run in the series that did not score on a solo home run. On the previous pitch, Smoak took an 0-2 curveball on the low, outside corner and stepped toward the dugout thinking it was strike three, only to have home plate umpire Todd Tichenor call the pitch a ball.Toronto doubled the lead in the fifth when Justin Smoak swung over a curveball in the dirt for strike three and the ball hit off Gattis and bounced away for a wild pitch that allowed Russell Martin to score from third.Tyler White hit a run-scoring double in the bottom half for his first RBI since June 10.Travis singled in a run against Will Harris in the eighth, and Encarnacion connected against James Hoyt in the ninth for his 298th home run.It feels good, Encarnacion said about being close to 300. I know its going to happen but I wish it could happen with people on base so we could win some games.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: SS Troy Tulowitzki went 1 for 4 after missing three games after breaking his right thumb when hit by a pitch from Baltimores Chris Tillman on Sunday.Astros: INF Marwin Gonzalez (right hand soreness) was held out of the starting lineup but pinch hit in the seventh inning and grounded out. Gonzalezs right-handed swing is less comfortable than left-handed swing, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. ... Luis Valbuena (right hamstring strain) is taking part in any baseball activity but continues daily treatment ... INF Carlos Gomez (right hamstring strain) was 0 for 2 with two strikeouts as the designated hitter after not playing in five of the last six games.UP NEXTBlue Jays: LHP Francisco Liriano (6-11), acquired from Pittsburgh at the trade deadline, is to make his Toronto debut on Friday at Kansas City.Astros: LHP Dallas Keuchel (6-11) is slated to start at home Friday against Texas.
