RIO DE JANEIRO -- The Usain Bolt Variety Hour hit Brazil, big time, on Monday.The closing number said it all: After talking about life, sprinting and the Olympics -- and yes, Bolt insisted the Rio de Janeiro Games will be his last -- the 6-foot-5 Jamaican pulled out his cell phone and started taking selfies while he shimmied off stage, surrounded by more than a dozen thong-and-headdress-wearing Samba dancers.The evening with Bolt also included his now-immortalized To The World pose, a few serious questions about racing and doping, along with one reporter who said he had no question, but pronounced: I really love you, man, then poetry slammed the following: I hope you win. I hope its your day. I hope you will go even though you get hit by a Segway.The now-famous Segway incident occurred after Bolts victory in the 200 meters last year at the world championships. While taking a victory lap, a multitasking photographer slammed into the back of Bolts legs with his scooter. Bolt bounced up and was no worse for wear.In the lead-up to the Rio Olympics, his legs havent fared as well. He pulled out of his national championships last month with a sore hamstring, which he has been trying to rehabilitate in time to put on a show in Brazil.Bolt takes to the track Saturday for the early rounds of the 100 meters. If he wins the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay, the way he has at the past two Olympics, hell close his Olympic career with nine gold medals.By now, though, its as much about the show as the results, and Bolt said as much Monday night.Im definitely a sprinter first, but I like to entertain, he said. Thats what people come out to see. They like it when I do crazy stuff. I try to entertain and make it different, help people enjoy it.By doing that, he has obliterated the decades-old image of the sullen, skulking sprinter -- and has also offered a much-needed breath of fresh air in a sport devoured by doping scandals that have dominated the lead-up to the Olympics.I think were going in the right direction, Bolt said. I must say, were weeding out the bad ones. I think people should have faith. We have to go through the rough times before we get to the good times.Speaking of which, Bolt hasnt ruled out a goal he set a long time ago -- to better his record of 19.19 seconds in his favorite race, the 200.He has long said he would like to take the record, which stood at 19.32 for 12 years before he first broke it at the Beijing Olympics, into the 18-second range.But the leg injury leading up to the Olympics made it a less-manageable goal to pursue. Then, after his only Olympic tuneup run -- a 200 late last month in London -- he met with coach Glen Mills, who told him, Thats one of the worst races youve ever run, according to Bolt.Still, why not aim high?I really, really, really want that one, Bolt said.And going after dreams is the main message he wants people to take away from his career.For me, its always to work toward your goal, he said. Its a hard road. Never let anyone tell you you cant do it.But as much as sending messages, Bolt pretty much laughed his way through 30 minutes of dance, drama and jokes. He said the only problem he has encountered during his stay in Rio had to do with TV. The apartment hes sharing with teammate Asafa Powell didnt have one.Somebody told us they were going to get it, Bolt said. After two days, I was just, Buy a TV. Im a good teammate. So I got him a TV.As always, keeping the people entertained.? Ryan OReilly Jersey .

CINCINNATI -- Brandon Finnegan might not have many starts left this season, and hes winding down in memorable fashion.Finnegan took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, Adam Duvall and Jose Peraza each hit home runs in returns to the lineup and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-1 on Saturday night.Adrian Gonzalez singled to center field leading off the seventh to break up Finnegans no-hit bid, and that was the only hit against the 23-year-old lefty.Gonzalez hit it hard but you never know when (second baseman Brandon Phillips) is around, Finnegan said. We had the shift on, but he beat it.I was just worried about making quality pitches. I had command of all three of my pitches tonight.Finnegan (8-9) allowed two walks and had eight strikeouts, one short of tying his career high, while throwing 96 pitches over seven innings. He also doubled and scored twice while the Reds extended their winning streak to a season-high five games.Finnegan did not return after the game was delayed in the middle of the seventh for 1 hour, 19 minutes because of rain.Finnegans role might be changing as the season winds down and the Reds try to preserve his arm, which left manager Bryan Price facing a dilemma.It is as sharp as Ive seen Finnegan, Price said. We got him runs early so he didnt have to be so exact. He was coming out whether it rained or not. The hit just made it easier. He is one of the guys we are concerned about his innings. Im not going to tell you what Id have done if he still had a no-hitter. Yeah, with 93 pitches we would have probably sent him out.Cincinnati had a season-high 18 hits, including three each from Peraza and Eugenio Suarez.Dodgers starter Brett Anderson (0-2) allowed six runs in three innings before being pulled with a blister on his left index finger. This was his second start since having back surgery in March. He allowed five runs in one inning in his season debut Aug. 14 before exiting with a mild left wrist sprain.Tonight wasnt ideal conditions, Anderson said. We wanted to catch (the blister) before it got too bad. I wanted to go out there and provide some innings. My stuff was good, but I gave up hard hits and some weird hits.ddddddddddddThis was the second time this season Finnegan flirted with a no-hitter. On April 11 at Wrigley Field, he lost a bid with two outs in the seventh on a single by Cubs catcher David Ross.The only no-hitter in the majors this season came in Cincinnati, by Jake Arrieta of the Cubs in a 16-0 win on April 21.Duvall, back after missing four games with an injured foot, hit a three-run homer to cap a four-run first inning and finished with four RBI. Peraza added a two-run shot in the fourth and drove in three runs in his first game after being recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.PITCHING PLAN: Roberts revealed the Dodgers pitching plans for the series against the Giants. LHP Scott Kazmir will pitch Monday, followed by RHP Kenta Maeda on Tuesday and LHP Rich Hill on Wednesday. Anderson is due to start on Thursday.STREAKING: Besides breaking up Finnegans no-hitter, Gonzalez extended his hitting streak to 13 games.NO CREDIT: Los Angeles RHP Kenley Jansen was announced as entering the game before the rain delay, but he never got to throw a pitch and was replaced by RHP Joe Blanton when play resumed.CELEBRITY SIGHTINGS: Pop singer Paul Simon and actor John Travolta both were at the game. Travolta was shown on the video board dancing to music from his movie, Saturday Night Fever, in the middle of the eighth inning.TRAINING ROOMDodgers: LHP Clayton Kershaws bullpen session was successful, Roberts said. Kershaw threw about 22 pitches and is scheduled for a more extensive test on Tuesday as he tries to come back from a herniated disk.Reds: SS Zack Cozart missed his third consecutive start on Saturday as he continues to be plagues by Achilles tendon and patella tendon soreness.UP NEXTDodgers: LHP Julio Urias (3-2) is scheduled to make his first start since Aug. 8 in Sundays third game of the four-game series. Urias has never faced the Reds.Reds: RHP Anthony DeSclafani (7-1) is to make his fourth career appearance against the Dodgers on Sunday. He has a 2.37 ERA in three career starts against Los Angeles.
