ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- No. 3 Michigan had its weakest passing performance in 15 years. Playing without Wilton Speight was quite a challenge.Fortunately for the Wolverines, senior running back DeVeon Smith had the best game of his career.Smith ran for two touchdowns in a 3:33 span late in the third quarter and finished with a career-high 158 yards rushing, helping Michigan shake off Indiana for a 20-10 win Saturday.John OKorn made his first start for the Wolverines (10-1, 7-1, No. 4 AP), replacing their injured starting quarterback, and the redshirt junior struggled to lead an offense that was averaging 45 points and 232 yards passing.Luckily, our run game and our O-line had my back, OKorn said.Indeed.OKorn was 7 of 16 yards for just 59 yards, the fewest yards passing for Michigan since John Navarre threw for 58 in a win over Wisconsin on Nov. 17, 2001.Im not real pleased with the way I threw the ball, but thats part of the battling the elements, OKorn said on a blustery day that left the field covered in snow in the fourth quarter.OKorns best play was a 30-yard run, escaping a collapsed pocket on third down to set up Smiths shifty, 34-yard run on the next snap that put the Wolverines up 13-10 with 4:02 left in the third. Smiths 39-yard run later in the quarter made it 20-10.That was huge, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said. We were struggling, making third-down conversions. And there was not just one, but two defenders pressuring John.For two-plus quarters, it looked as if the Hoosiers (5-6, 3-5) might earn one of the most significant wins in school history. Indiana has beaten only one top-five team, No. 3 Purdue in 1967, the last year it won at Michigan Stadium, in school history. The Hoosiers havent knocked off a top-10 team since beating No. 9 Ohio State in 1987.Indianas Richard Lagow was 14 of 29 for 191 yards and Devine Redding was held to 50 yards rushing on 22 carries a week after running for 108 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to then-No. 12 Penn State.Offense did some things they needed to against a great defense, Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said. Just wasnt good enough.THE TAKEAWAYIndiana: The Hoosiers have been good enough to be competitive with ranked teams this season. Thats a sign of improvement, but theyre not celebrating keeping it close.We just got to find a way to finish, linebacker Tegray Scales said. We came out second half, didnt have the same juice we had at the beginning of the game.If Indiana avoids getting upset by rival Purdue at home, it will earn consecutive bowl bids for the first time since 1990 and 1991.Michigan: The Wolverines desperately need to get Speight healthy enough to play at No. 2 Ohio State next weekend. He beat out OKorn for the job this season behind closed doors at practice. In public, it was easy to see why Harbaugh chose Speight ahead of OKorn. The Houston transfer missed open receivers when he had time and looked flustered when his offensive line didnt do its job in pass protection.He did a lot of good things, Harbaugh insisted.POLL IMPLICATIONSDespite the relatively lackluster win, Michigan may stay where they are in The Associated Press college football poll and College Football Playoff rankings.MICHIGAN MANFormer LSU coach Les Miles, who played at Michigan and was a Bo Schembechler assistant, attended the game and reiterated his interest in coaching again.UP NEXTIndiana: The Boilermakers will have a shot to spoil the Hoosiers shot to become bowl eligible.Michigan: The Buckeyes are waiting, aiming for their fifth straight win in the series and 12th in 13 years. If the Wolverines pull off the upset, they will advance to the Big Ten title game with a chance to win their first Big Ten title since 2004 and earn a spot in the playoff.This one is for the all the marbles, Jabrill Peppers said.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates have won eight games in a row, and fans are starting to notice. After all, the Pirates own the best record in all of baseball. Pittsburgh beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 on Saturday night in front of its fifth straight sellout crowd at home. The Pirates have never had that many consecutive capacity crowds since moving into their new ballpark in 2001. Long the third-most popular team in a three-team town behind the NFLs Steelers and NHLs Penguins, the Pirates are suddenly becoming a hot ticket. "The energy of the crowds has been unbelievable and weve been soaking it all up," said Pirates closer Jason Grilli, who earned the save. "You absorb it and try to use it to your advantage. Were playing for ourselves but were also playing for about 40,000 people in the stands and an entire city. "People are dusting off their Pirates shirts and coming out in droves, and were trying to give them what they want to see." Pedro Alvarez and Garrett Jones homered, and Francisco Liriano pitched six strong innings to lead the surging Pirates. Alvarez hit his 20th home run with one out in the second inning to extend his hitting streak to 12 games and help the Pirates to their longest winning streak since 2004. Pittsburgh, which has endured 20 consecutive losing seasons, is a major league-best 50-30. Jones hit a drive to the shrubbery in straightaway centre field, his seventh homer, to lead off the fourth inning and increase the Pirates lead to 2-0. That was enough for Liriano (7-3), who improved to 4-1 in five home starts this season. "Were having fun, were playing hard and were giving everything we have," Liriano said. Liriano gave up one run and seven hits in six innings with one walk and six strikeouts. Tony Watson, Mark Melancon and Grilli each pitched one scoreless inning of relief. Grilli recorded his 27th save in 28 opportunities. "Frankie, for as efficient as he was in giving up one run, there were only about six or seven sequences where he threw back-to-back strikes," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "But when he needed to make a pitch, he made a pitch." Grilli was pitching for the first time in six days after having his worst outing of the season. He gave up three runs against the Los Angeles Angels in a non-save situation last Sunday before the Pirates held on for a 10-9 win. "Hes our guy," Hurdle said..dddddddddddd "He was well-rested and I wasnt the least bit nervous about going to him." Donovan Hand (0-1) allowed both home runs but turned in a solid five-inning performance in his second major league start. Hand was pleased with his outing, except for the home run to Alvarez that cleared the right-field stands, hit a tree and bounced into the Allegheny River. "I tried to go up and in and left a fat pitch over the middle in his hot zone, and he crushed it," said Hand, who pitched 4 2-3 scoreless innings in his first start June 28 against Atlanta. "I was aggressive, which is exactly what I wanted to do, just building off of the last start because they swing it a lot." Hand has made a good impression on Brewers manager Ron Roenicke. "I thought Donny threw the ball really well," Roenicke said. "He understands how to pitch. He understands how to throw strikes." Carlos Gomez had two hits for the Brewers, who lost their fifth straight game. He singled with one out in the sixth inning and scored Milwaukees run on Yuniesky Betancourts single with two outs. Brewers shortstop Jean Segura extended his hitting streak to 11 games, but second baseman Rickie Weeks run ended at a career-best 13 games. Pittsburgh has won four straight games against Milwaukee and eight of 10 after losing nine in a row. "Were playing good baseball," Hurdle said. "Its nice to get to 50 wins but were just trying to meet the demands of the game, honestly self-evaluate and get better every day. There is still a long way to go."
