Gary Anderson crashed out of the Ladbrokes World Series of Darts Finals to Joe Cullen at Glasgows Braehead Arena on Saturday night, as Michael van Gerwen and Phil Taylor avoided potential upsets. World champion Anderson was knocked out in a deciding leg by Terry Jenkins in his opener in Glasgow a year ago, and suffered the same fate as Cullen continued his impressive 2016 by holding his nerve against the Scottish favourite.Anderson had won the World Series events in Dubai, Auckland and Tokyo earlier this year, but was unable to mark his first appearance on stage wearing glasses - and using a new design of dart - with victory.

The Scot started brightly enough in front of the passionate Scottish crowd as he opened up a 2-0 lead with legs of 15 and 13 darts, but Cullen levelled before finishing 124 on the bull to move himself ahead.The next five legs were won with throw to send the contest into a decider, which Cullen took with a 13-dart finish of his own.Its brilliant, said Cullen, who had edged out Joe Murnan 6-5 in the first round earlier in the day. Its great to beat the world champion in Scotland - it was a great atmosphere, up there with the best Ive played in front of.Cullen will now play Peter Wright, after last years runner-up in this event impressed in his 6-3 win over Daryl Gurney in their second-round clash.Northern Irelands Gurney had defeated youngster Josh Payne by the same scoreline in the afternoon session, taking out a key 141 finish, but found Wright too strong as the world No 5 backed up his firework-themed outfit with a strong display.World No 1 Van Gerwen, the champion in both Shanghai and Perth, held off Gerwyn Prices fightback to claim a narrow 6-5 win over the Welshman, who had defeated Steve Beaton 6-3 in round one. Michael van Gerwen battled past Gerwyn Price in Glasgow Van Gerwen - last weeks European Championship winner - led 3-0 and 5-2 before Price battled back to level, but the Dutchman was first to a finish in the decider as a 13-darter secured his triumph.I did enough to win the game, said Van Gerwen. Gerwyn tried everything he could to make it as close as possible but I out-scored him.The win was the most important thing and Im through to the quarter-finals. Im feeling confident and playing well and Ill get myself ready because its a big day.Van Gerwen now takes on Simon Whitlock in the last eight, after the Australian defeated Brendan Dolan 6-5 and Raymond van Barneveld 6-2.

(Photo by Steve Welsh/Matchroom) Phil Taylor came from three legs down to avenge last weeks defeat to Mensur Suljovic in the European Championship quarter-finals with a 6-3 win over the Austrian.Suljovic - who went on to reach the European Championship final - had been in brilliant form as he whitewashed Robert Thornton in the first round, taking out finishes of 120 and 116 as he punished ten missed doubles from the Scot, and started superbly on his return to the stage against Taylor by taking the first three legs.Taylor, though, sparked his revival with a 12-darter and also landed an 11-dart finish as he took five successive legs before finishing 120 to complete a fine comeback.Taylor now meets Dutch youngster Benito van de Pas, who followed up his first round win over former World Youth champion Michael Smith with a defeat of James Wade on Saturday night.First round results:Max Hopp 5-6 Cristo ReyesBenito van de Pas 6-3 Michael SmithJelle Klaasen 5-6 Kim HuybrechtsBrendan Dolan 5-6 Simon WhitlockMensur Suljovic 6-0 Robert ThorntonJoe Murnan 5-6 Joe CullenGerwyn Price 6-3 Steve BeatonDaryl Gurney 6-3 Josh PayneSecond round results:Adrian Lewis 6-3 Cristo ReyesJames Wade 5-6 Benito van de PasDave Chisnall 6-4 Kim HuybrechtsRaymond van Barneveld 2-6 Simon WhitlockPhil Taylor 6-3 Mensur SuljovicGary Anderson 5-6 Joe CullenMichael van Gerwen 6-5 Gerwyn PricePeter Wright 6-3 Daryl GurneySundays quarter-finals:Adrian Lewis v Dave ChisnallMichael van Gerwen v Simon WhitlockBenito van de Pas v Phil TaylorJoe Cullen v Peter Wright Also See: Van Gerwen completes treble Van Gerwens major milestones Roquan Smith Bears Jersey .

WASHINGTON -- The Washington Nationals had a decision to make before hosting the Cincinnati Reds in the series finale on Sunday at Nationals Park.And the Nationals were in the situation of having to choose between using unbeaten pitcher Stephen Strasburg (10-0, 2.90) or top pitching prospect Lucas Giolito (0-0, 0.00) to start against the last-place Reds.That is a choice that many teams wish they had to make.Its not up to me, its up to how Strasburg feels, manager Dusty Baker before Saturdays game. Right now hes feeling pretty good, but the decision will probably be made tomorrow. It might be a gametime decision.After the game, Baker said: Were getting one of our main men Stras back tomorrow. He can put us back in sync for the remainder of the first half.Strasburg, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 draft, went on the disabled list June 26, retroactive to June 16, with an upper back strain. If he comes off the DL to pitch Sunday, the Nationals will have to make a roster move.His place in the rotation was filled on Tuesday by Giolito, another former first-round pick who went four innings and allowed just one hit against the New York Mets in a rain-shortened outing.It was the first big league appearance for Giolito, considered the top pitching prospect in the minors this year.The big right-hander from Los Angeles had never pitched above Double-A Harrisburg before he was called up to start against the Mets. One scenario would be for the Nationals to send Giolito to Triple-A Syracuse, then call him back up later in the year.On any given night, he has three well-above-average pitches working for him, Mark Scialabba, the director of player development for the Nationals, said of Giolito. Along with his fastball and curve, whicch are well documented, his changeup has become a weapon he can use against both left- and right-handed hitters.dddddddddddd Hes a tremendous student of the game and is striving to become a complete pitcher with the ability to field his position and hold runners well.The Nationals and general manager Mike Rizzo are not hesitant to dip into their minor league system to aid the 25-man roster.Last June, right-hander Joe Ross -- who started against the Reds on Saturday night -- was summoned from Double-A Harrisburg to join the rotation. He was later sent back to Triple-A Syracuse, then was called back up to Washington to end the season.The Reds will send lefty John Lamb (1-4, 4.60) to the mound on Sunday. He has never faced the Nationals.Cincinnati has begun an 11-day, 10-game road trip in rough fashion after a 13-4 loss Thursday and then a 4-3 loss in 14 innings on Friday. They came through with a 9-4 win in 10 innings late Saturday. It was the first extra-inning loss at home for Washington after nine such wins over the past two years.The Reds were 7-2 against the Nationals over the last two series before the four-game series began here Thursday.Manager Bryan Price had to juggle his lineup on Saturday.He dropped second baseman Brandon Phillips to the No. 6 spot in the order against Washington.Its just trying to get him back to where he is really feeling comfortable at the plate, Price said of Phillips.Joey Votto was a late scratch from the lineup just before the game with a sore right shoulder. Price said he is day-to-day. The injury came in Fridays game when Votto dove into second on a double. ' ' '
