The New Orleans Saints acquired defensive end Chris McCain in a trade with the Miami Dolphins on Monday.The Dolphins will get a conditional seventh-rounder, according to a league source.The trade was first reported by the NFL Network and later confirmed by McCain on Twitter.The Dolphins were deep at defensive end, which put McCain on the roster bubble and ultimately made him expendable. They have starters Cameron Wake and Mario Williams, who have combined for eight Pro Bowls, along with veteran backups Jason Jones and Andre Branch.McCain (6-foot-5, 236 pounds) has pass-rush ability and can play a variety of special teams. His two signature plays in Miami were a blocked punt during his rookie season and a sack of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.The Dolphins signed McCain as an undrafted rookie in 2014. He played in 18 career games and registered seven tackles and two sacks. New Saints tight ends coach/assistant head coach Dan Campbell is familiar with McCain after serving as the Dolphins interim head coach last year.Its unclear if the Saints expect McCain to push third-year pro Kasim Edebali for a starting job or if they were just looking for depth and special-teams help. But the Saints have essentially been in the market for pass-rush help since back in March -- a need that became even greater after second-year defensive end Hauoli Kikaha went down with a knee injury this summer.New Orleans apparently decided to look outside the building for help after being disappointed with its most recent preseason results. Coach Sean Payton called the pass rush very concerning after Fridays preseason loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.For the amount of times they threw the ball, our ability to affect the quarterback was poor, said Payton, who also hinted on Monday that the Saints would be looking outside the building for help over the next week.This next 10-day period, theres gonna be some good football players that shift from one team to another via a lot of different ways, be it from trade, be it waiver claims and/or free agency, Payton said.The Saints also addressed another one of their top trouble spots Monday, signing veteran offensive lineman Khalif Barnes after a tryout.Barnes, 34, spent the past seven seasons with the Oakland Raiders after spending his first four years with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has played in 151 games with 117 starts.Its unclear what his role will be in New Orleans since the 6-6, 320-pounder has played both tackle and guard. The Saints most pressing need is at guard, but they might also be looking for a versatile swingman to provide backup at both spots.

BALTIMORE -- Two teams that rely heavily on the home run engaged in a long-ball duel at Camden Yards that had the fans in the bleachers running for cover. In the end, Chris Davis major-league leading 40th homer and a grand slam by Nate McLouth trumped four home runs by Seattle, and the Orioles held on for an 11-8 victory Friday night. "It was the kind of a game where you felt like you had to outscore them," McLouth said. "The ball was flying, and theyre a really good hitting team." Seattle and Baltimore started the game ranked 1-2 in percentage of runs scored via the home run. This game bared out that statistic. Davis and Ryan Flaherty hit solo shots prior to McLouths first career slam. Seattle got a two-run homer from Michael Saunders and solo drives from Kendrys Morales, Michael Morse and Humberto Quintero. "It was kind of one of those nights, both teams swinging the bats well," Davis said. "It just seemed like it was going to be a battle of the offences all night. One of those games where you feel like you cant score enough runs, no matter how many you put up there, they come back." McLouth connected off Brandon Maurer to make it 11-6 in the sixth, and that was just enough offence to fend off the Mariners. McLouths homer followed three straight singles off Maurer, who entered after starter Aaron Harang (5-10) struggled through five shaky innings. "If you look back, a lot of those pitches were over the heart of the plate," Seattle acting manager Robby Thompson said. "If you do that to this club here, youre going to run into some problems." Jim Johnson worked the ninth to earn his 38th save and secure the victory for Chris Tillman (14-3). Davis drove a pitch from Harang over the right-field wall and onto Eutaw Street to give Baltimore a 5-3 lead in the third inning. The solo homer travelled an estimated 442 feet and gave Davis a major-league high 101 RBIs. He is the fifth Oriole to hit 40 homers in a season, joining Brady Anderson (50), Frank Robinson (49), Jim Gentile (46) and Rafael Palmeiro (43). "Its pretty good company to be in," Davis said. "Im proud of the way things are going this year. Still got a lot more work to do, but its nice to be a big part of a winning team." Adam p;Jones had three RBIs for Baltimore, which has won 10 of its past 12 against Seattle.dddddddddddd Tillman gave up a season high-tying six runs, as well as eight hits and three walks. But the right-hander improved to 5-0 in five career starts against the team that traded him along with Jones to the Orioles in 2008. "Its an offensive night," Tillman said. "Our guys did their job, and I give credit to their guys, too. They hit some good pitches and they battled." Morales went 4 for 4 and has 13 hits in his past 17 at-bats. But the Mariners have dropped four in a row and six of eight. "We did a nice job offensively tonight," Thompson said. "We put up some runs, but unfortunately we were playing catch-up all night long." Harang allowed seven runs and seven hits. On Thursday night, the Mariners allowed six runs in the bottom of the ninth in an 8-7 loss to Boston. Thompson addressed his young team before this game to make sure there would be no carry-over. "Its over and done with," Thompson said. "I want to make sure we forget about it ... and move forward." They didnt. After going down in order with two strikeouts in the top of the first inning, Seattle promptly fell into a 4-0 hole. McLouth singled and Harang issued two straight walks before Jones doubled in two runs, and another scored when left fielder Raul Ibanez mishandled the hit. Matt Wieters capped the uprising with a sacrifice fly. Seattle used three walks, a homer by Saunders and an RBI single by Morales to close to 4-3 in the third. After Davis homered in the third and Flaherty hit one in the fourth, Quintero connected leading off the fifth. Jones hit an RBI single in the bottom half for a 7-4 lead, but the Mariners got two runs in the sixth on a run-scoring double by Morse and a sacrifice fly by Saunders.
