RIO DE JANEIRO -- Allyson Felix has had a tough summer clouded by an ankle injury and doubts. But she tried to put that behind her now.As she and the rest of the field came slingshotting out of the last turn in the 400-meter final Monday and down the final straightaway, she turned on her sprinters speed and set out after the leader, Shaunae Miller of the Bahamas. As they approached the line the crowd was roaring as they went stride for stride -- until Miller dove. And Felix didnt.It was a stunning, surprising end to a stirring stretch-run battle. The image of the photo finish showed Miller edging Felix, the most decorated woman in American track history, by half a body length -- or a mere seven-hundredths of a second on the clock -- with a winning time of 49.44 seconds to Felixs 49.51. Shericka Jackson of Jamaica was third in 49.85.Had the race been even 1 meter longer, Felix wouldve won. But that was no solace to her now.I was just focusing on myself, Felix said when asked once, then twice, about Millers tactic of going headfirst for the line. But Felix refused to take issue with it or even answer if she ever considered diving to win a race. But Natasha Hastings and Phyllis Francis, her American teammates who finished just out of the medal running, said it wasnt the first time theyd seen anyone go to the lengths Miller did to win.I did it myself twice this year, Hastings said. I dove [at the U.S. Olympic trials] for my spot here. And I did it in indoor nationals as well.You do what youve got to do to get over the line.Felix herself? She was expressionless right after the race. She just walked over to congratulate Miller, who had rolled over and was still lying on her back on the track when the scoreboard said it was official that shed won. Felix and Jackson both tried to help Miller to her feet, but Miller was too overcome with emotion. She just kept lying there, staring at the night sky. She pulled off one shoe, then the other. She covered her face with both hands again as if she couldnt believe she had won.Felix finally sat down on the track too, riding out the pain and disappointment.I gave it everything I had, she said when she finally came to the media area beneath the Olympic Stadium grandstand more than 40 minutes after the race. Its deeply disappointing. Im a competitor.She was still teary eyed as she struggled to talk about what happened.Felix had been in a race to get healthy enough to even make the U.S. team for Rio since mid-April, when she tore ligaments in her ankle during a medicine ball workout. She has been a sprint star since the age of 15 and ran the 100 and 200 at the London Games, winning gold in the latter. But a few years ago, she started to seriously embrace the idea of chasing the 200-400 double here instead -- something shed never done.She said she believed she had untapped potential at the longer distance. Retired American track great Michael Johnson, the last man to pull off the 200-400 double at the Games, had urged her to try it too. Then in January, Felixs coach, Bobby Kersee, petitioned the IAAF, the international governing body for track and field, to tweak the Rio schedule to be more accommodating to Felixs attempt.That the request was granted hinted at Felixs stature in the sport. Her silver Monday gave her 20 career Olympic or world outdoor medals. Four of her seven Olympic medals are gold.But Felix had the same hard luck at the U.S. Olympic trials last month that she had here in Rio, her fourth Games.She missed qualifying for the U.S. team in her beloved 200 by one-hundredth of a second, an even more torturously close margin than she lost by to Miller.Standing here now and thinking back on it all, Felix refused to even mention her injury. She refused to gripe about her bad luck or say her conditioning wasnt what it wouldve otherwise been, either. This was her only individual race of these Games, and she had poured her heart into making it count.I just wanted to win it. I was hoping it would all come together tonight. It just wasnt enough, she said.Then she second-guessed her race strategy.I think I should have been a bit more aggressive, she suggested, alluding to how Miller ran a far stronger final curve than she did, leaving her so much ground to make up. I might have let it get a little away from me.Then she choked up again and walked away.She has been a sprint sensation since she was a teenager. Shes 30 now. She knows as well as anybody that infinitesimally small margins define this sport.Seventh-hundredths of a second is nothing at all, really.Just the sort of margin that can keep you up at night for years.

PHILADELPHIA -- Francisco Rodriguez and the Milwaukee Brewers had a little extra help holding off the Phillies. Second-base umpire Mike Estabrook called pinch-runner Kyle Kendrick out on a pickoff even though shortstop Jean Segura tagged him without the ball and the Brewers held on to beat Philadelphia 4-3 on Saturday. Kendrick was the second out of the inning, and the next batter doubled before Rodriguez was able to nail down his third straight save. After the game, crew chief Tom Hallion told a pool reporter that it was an incorrect call after looking at replay. "The ball goes in the glove and comes out of the glove with Kendrick diving back in and with Segura diving back for the ball," Hallion told a pool reporter. "Obviously, Mike was in the right position to make a pickoff play call like that. But the way that the play developed, the ball comes free and rolls right in Seguras bare hand and he comes up shows him the ball." Before the ninth, Jonathan Lucroy homered and Wily Peralta tossed seven strong innings for Milwaukee. After Rodriguez intentionally walked Domonic Brown, he retired Michael Martinez on a groundout to end the game. Kendrick went right to the video room after the play and said he was "just mad" when he saw the replay. "He was in a bad position to see that, but that was the game," Kendrick said. "I score right there and we have a tie game and anything can happen." Logan Schafer went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI for Milwaukee, which won its second straight after finishing May tied for the worst winning percentage (.214) in club history. "We got some breaks again today," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "This game is fun because youre always trying to figure it out. Its frustrating because you cant do anything about it. It really isnt fair." Peralta (4-6) entered on a four-game losing streak but had one of his best outings of the season, surrendering two runs and eight hits with six strikeouts and a walk. Peralta successfully pitched out of trouble throughout and stranded runners at second in four of his seven innings, including when he struck out Brown with his final pitch in the seventh. Brown had 12 homers in May with six in his last five games. He wentt 1-for-4 with a single and a pair of strikeouts Saturday.dddddddddddd Freddy Galvis homered and Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a double for Philadelphia, which lost its third straight and fifth in seven games. The Phillies dropped to 8-24 when scoring three runs or less. Galvis homered to lead off the ninth before Jimmy Rollins, who didnt start due to a sore foot, followed with a pinch-hit single. Kendrick ran for Rollins and went to second on Ben Reveres sacrifice bunt, but was picked off. "Its unfortunate, but its one of those plays that if any one of us -- any umpire -- had seen the loose ball, we certainly would have come in and helped Mike out with that," Hallion said. "The problem was that I dont think anybody saw the ball. I dont think anyone from the Phillies dugout or the Brewers dugout or Kendrick knew that the ball was on the ground." After the Kendrick out, Rodriguez intentionally walked Brown to put runners on first and second with two outs before getting Michael Martinez to ground out to end the game. "Its kind of how things have been going for us," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. Tyler Cloyd (1-2) gave up three runs (two earned) on eight hits with three strikeouts and one walk in seven innings. Delmon Young was responsible for two of the Brewers first three runs, as his throwing error in the second inning allowed Lucroy to score after Schafers RBI single that also scored Aramis Ramirez and gave Milwaukee a 2-0 lead. Kevin Frandsens RBI groundout in the fourth pulled the Phillies within 2-1. But the Brewers got the run back in the fifth when Segura tripled for a 3-1 lead. Philadelphia closed within 3-2 on Erik Kratzs RBI single in the sixth, but Lucroy homered to left with two outs in the eighth off reliever Mike Adams. It was the third homer in two games for Lucroy, who went 5-for-5 with two homers and a double in Fridays 8-5 win over Philadelphia. Notes: Schafer was filling in for regular centre fielder Carlos Gomez, who got the day off. . Brown became the first player in Major League history with at least 10 homers and no walks in a month. . Brewers right-hander Mike Fiers (1-3, 5.66) is scheduled to face Phillies lefty Cliff Lee (6-2, 2.34) in the finale of the three-game series at 1:35 Sunday. ' ' '
