RIO DE JANEIRO -- Weve had Super Saturday, Sensational Sunday and now Terrific Tuesday. There really shouldnt be any more alliterative names made up for days of the week when the British team do well here.The latest development was Team GB going three medals beyond its minimum target of 47 on Tuesday night to make this the nations best ever away Olympics, and it would be a lot easier to simply celebrate an outstanding Games performance that is still rolling.Why split it up? Lets just call it all Britains Brazilian brilliance; that should keep everyone happy.We said we believed this to be our most talented Team GB squad and everything we have seen to-date has proven that to be true, said British Olympic Association chief executive Bill Sweeney. With a number of them still to compete we are hopeful of creating yet more history and new heroes and heroines.A total of 10 more medals were won by Team GB on Tuesday: three golds, two silvers and four bronzes. They were won in sailing, cycling, diving, boxing and gymnastics and came in a hectic four-and-a-half hour spell.Those who added more medals to the Rio roll of honour were: Giles Scott (sailing gold), Jason Kenny and Laura Trott (both track cycling golds); Becky James (track cycling silver), Jack Laugher, Chris Mears (both diving silvers); Amy Tinkler and Nile Wilson (both gymnastics bronzes), Katy Marchant (track cycling bronze), Josh Buatsi (boxing bronze).The key question now is: how many more Britain will bring home? The top end of the target range was 79 medals, which looks extremely unlikely, but the London haul of 65 doesnt seem impossible.It would still be a big leap but track and field will be under pressure to deliver more podium places and sailing, diving, BMX, triathlon, taekwondo and boxing all look well placed to add to the total.The previous British record for an away Games was Beijing in 2008, when Britain brought back 47 medals, and that was one of the best hauls of any Olympics.Which all begs the next question: how has Team GB done it? Hard work and excellence are certainly major reasons but significant investment has also played a major part.UK Sport, which distributes lottery funding, has provided ￡350 million for Olympic and Paralympic sports for the years 2013-17, and in the previous four years it was ￡263m.The approach is business-like, too, with sports which fail to reach the targets set by the authority having funding cut at the end of the cycle.Swimming had its funding slashed after 2012 but has delivered, while the other leading sports here enjoyed UK Sport investment.That financial imperative will have pushed each sports governing body hard to make improvements. It may have had a motivational effect on the overall performance, bringing pressure on support staff, but it would be silly to think it was in the minds of the athletes.The reasons for success, of course, are open to debate but what is not is the medal tally. On Tuesday night, Britain were still second in the medal table, above China -- which has 51 medals -- because of a greater number of golds and silvers. And that is pretty brilliant.

SEATTLE -- In desperate need of getting back on a winning roll to salvage their waning postseason hopes, the Seattle Mariners beat up on Texas ace Cole Hamels for the second time in a week.This time, though, the Mariners kept adding on.Robinson Cano homered during a five-run first inning, the Mariners knocked out Hamels early and then Seattle pulled away with a six-run sixth inning in a 14-6 win over the AL West-leading Texas Rangers on Monday.Canos 32 homers this season are one off his career high set in 2012 while with the New York Yankees. The two-run shot also set the tone for Seattles largest offensive output since scoring 14 in a win over Toronto in late July.Great job by our offense, just kept attacking, attacking, attacking. ... We did a pretty good job getting on their bullpen, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. We needed it. Ive said it a few times, those games are nice. Hopefully we can get some momentum going.Franklin Gutierrez drove in four runs, including a solo home run in the second inning and a two-run double in the sixth when Seattle sent 11 batters to the plate. Gutierrez finished a triple short of the cycle.Jesus Sucre tied a career high with three hits, including a two-run single to cap Seattles big first inning.Hamels (14-5) was knocked around for the second time in a week by the Mariners and failed to make it through two innings for just the second time in his career -- Hamels lasted just two outs in a 2010 start with Philadelphia.He gave up six runs and seven hits against the Mariners just last week in Texas.Monday was even worse.Its just a matter of not executing pitches whatsoever. Theyre definitely getting themselves into hitter-friendly counts and thats a credit to what their game plan was, Hamels said. For me, it was throwing too many pitches over the heart of the plate.The key at-bat was Kyle Seagers two-out walk in the first inning. Seager stole second base and scored on Dae-Ho Lees hit for an early 3-0 lead. Leonys Martin followed with a double, and Sucres soft liner scored a pair for a 5-0 lead.Gutierrez homered to right field with onee out in the second -- his 14th of the season -- and Lees second RBI single later in the inning finally ended Hamels day.ddddddddddddROCKY REIGNDespite being staked to a 7-0 lead, Seattle starter Felix Hernandez (10-5) nearly gave it all away. Texas scored five times off Hernandez in the third inning, including a three-run homer by Nomar Mazara and RBI singles from Rougned Odor and Jonathan Lucroy. Hernandez threw 49 pitches in the inning, but managed to keep the lead. Hernandez made it through 5 2/3 innings and gave up six runs before being lifted.Sucre said Hernandez got flustered in the third inning by a few borderline pitches that were called balls.It was my fault. I got out of my game a little bit there, Hernandez said.Odor added a solo home run in the sixth inning -- his 30th of the season -- and has homered in five of the past six games.TRAINERS ROOM:Rangers: Manager Jeff Banister said high stress innings -- multiple runners on, pitches in an inning -- are factored into pitching decisions. Thats one of the reasons Yu Darvish was pulled after a season-low four innings Sunday. Darvish allowed five runs on seven hits, throwing 80 pitches, but 33 were in a two-run first.Mariners: RHP Tom Wilhelmsen, on the 15-day DL with lower back spasms, is expected to throw a simulated game on Thursday. Thats the plan with him, see how that goes, Servais said. Once he faces some hitters, well see where thats at.UP NEXTRangers: LHP Martin Perez (9-10) makes his career-high 29th start. He is 2-6 with a 5.73 ERA in his last 11 starts. Perez, who had Tommy John surgery in May 2014, already has pitched 169 2/3 innings this season. His high was 167 2/3 in 2013.Mariners: LHP James Paxton (4-5) was pushed back one day after tearing a fingernail in his last start, when he came out after five innings against Texas. Paxton experienced no problems throwing on the side, but Servais said there is a little bit more intensity on the breaking pitches in an actual game. ' ' '
