RIO DE JANEIRO -- Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike expects the 2020 Paralympics to make Japans capital more accessible to people with disabilities.Narrow roadways and doorways will be widened. More ramps and railing can be installed, and other physical changes can be made.But shes also advocating for another type of fix.Barrier-free facilities are by all means important, but I believe that a barrier-free mind is equally vital, Koike said in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, a day before she receives the Paralympic flag -- and four weeks after she took possession of the Olympic flag.Tokyos first female governor, Koike was elected two months ago and is pushing several Olympic-related agendas: Keeping down soaring costs, focusing on the environment, and talking up a womens rights agenda.Add a Paralympic agenda to that list: Making Tokyo easier to navigate for people in wheelchairs, on crutches or with vision problems. Any improvement here could also make life easier for Japans 75-and-over population, which is predicted to reach 25 percent of the population in 2025.We have developed roads that are too narrow, she said. This is a legacy of Tokyo. Furthermore, the doorways are not wide, the ceilings are low in some typical housing. As we welcome athletes as well as spectators from all over the world at the venues, we must overcome these challenges.Koike said expanding some of Tokyos narrow roads, often shared by cars and pedestrians and without sidewalks, means removing utility poles and placing the power lines underground.Going toward the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, Id like to expand the width of the roads by doing away with the utility poles so we can provide accessibility to everyone, Koike said.Paralympic organizers are expecting big things from Tokyo, although, on the field in Rio, Japan had failed to win a gold medal through competition on Friday. The games close on Sunday.Japanese broadcaster NHK has a long-term deal to telecast the Paralympics through 2024, which will drive interest.I think theres going be a huge awareness level of the games coming to Japan in four years, International Paralympic Committee spokesman Craig Spence said.IPC President Philip Craven four years ago called London the best games ever.From what Ive seen from Tokyo so far, Tokyo has a very, very good chance of surpassing London and becoming the best Paralympics ever, Spence said. Ive never come across an organizing committee so committed, so dedicated and enthusiastic about the Paralympic movement.---Stephen Wade on Twitter: http://twitter.com/StephenWadeAP .

CINCINNATI -- The Milwaukee Brewers are solidly in fourth place in the National League Central and were eliminated early from the playoff chase. But, their starting rotation is looking to build some momentum heading into the offseason.Over their past 21 games, Brewers starters have posted a 2.92 ERA with 39 earned runs allowed in 120 2/3 innings since 8/22. The 2.92 ERA led all of baseball for that period entering Mondays games.Those numbers looked more impressive prior to Monday night when Wily Peralta allowed three first-inning runs. But, collectively as a group, Brewers starters have been on a roll.Whats impressive is that they have it in them, its confidence for them, manager Craig Counsell said. You want to get them to the point where theyre consistent through the whole year. When you pitch like that, you can have good stretches (as a team).Right-hander Matt Garza will try to continue the positive stretch on Tuesday, when he faces the Reds in the second of three games at Great American Ball Park.Garza is making his 17th start of the season and second against Cincinnati. He was sharp his last time out against the first-place Chicago Cubs, allowing one run on three hits with five Ks in six innings of a 2-1 Brewers win.You have a bunch of guys pitching like that, you feel like you have a chance to win every night, Counsell said. Thats pretty much the way its been (even though) its an individual story in a lot of ways.Garza has had mixed results against the Reds in his career, going 4-4 with a 5.04 ERA IN 13 starts. At Great American Ball Park, its been about the same story with a 2-2 mark and 4.dddddddddddd.08 ERA in seven starts.The Reds will counter with right-hander Dan Straily, who has been among the pleasant surprises for them this season. Strailys story is worth telling again.He was waived and traded by three teams during Spring Training. Injuries opened up a spot in the bullpen for Straily who soon found a home in the starting rotation where he has shined.Straily has made 10 starts in which hes allowed three or fewer hits, a single-season franchise record and second most in the major leagues behind Cubs ace Jake Arrieta, who has 11. Opponents are hitting just .224 against him, ninth best in the NL.Hes quite familiar with the Brewers having faced them already twice this season. In his career, Straily is 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA in three appearances against Milwaukee.Straily went 6-0 with a 1.98 ERA in his first eight starts after the All-Star break.Cincinnati likely will be without center fielder Billy Hamilton whos still nursing a strained left oblique that has kept him out of action since Sept. 3.He still has some soreness, manager Bryan Price said. Its better, but he wont do any trunk rotational activities until thats out of there.The Reds have won four straight games and four of their last five games against Milwaukee.In 132 career games against the Brewers, Reds first baseman Joey Votto is batting .315 (146-463) with 27 homers and 90 RBI. His 27 homers and 90 RBI are his most against any opponent. ' ' '
