Cazorla scores twice as Spain beats US 4-0

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)—After allowing three goals in a 13-minute span, United States goalkeeper Tim Howard pounded his hands on his thighs in frustration.

And there was still another half to go.

“When you get knocked down, you see what you’re made of,” Howard said Saturday after World Cup champion Spain overwhelmed the U.S. 4-0 in an exhibition that the Americans used to tune up for the Gold Cup. “I put it behind me. I’ve been at this a while. When you play the best team in the world, they can make you look silly at times.”

Santi Cazorla scored twice as Spain avenged a loss in the semifinals of the 2009 Confederations Cup, when the Americans won 2-0 to snap top-ranked Spain’s 35-match winning streak. Alvaro Negredo and Fernando Torres also scored for Spain, which started just six of the 11 players it began the World Cup final with last July.

It was the most one-sided loss for the Americans since a 5-0 defeat by Mexico in the 2009 Gold Cup final.

“We choose always to take these kinds of challenges, play these kinds of teams, because we feel it’s the best way to improve,” U.S. coach Bob Bradley said. “Look, when you challenge yourselves against the best teams, you have to be accept that this is the way it’s going to be sometimes.”

The United States was missing Landon Donovan, who was back at the hotel with an undisclosed illness. Bradley said Donovan was feeling weak, but that he is expected to be ready for Tuesday’s Gold Cup opener against Canada in Detroit.

Clint Dempsey, Michael Bradley and Steve Cherundolo came in as second-half substitutes, and captain Carlos Bocanegra didn’t dress.

“I think we dominated, but we are also aware that they had important players who did not play,” Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said.

The international goals were the third and fourth for Cazorla in his career. He had not scored for Spain since a September 2009 World Cup qualifier against Estonia.

Spain was without Carles Puyol, who was recovering from knee surgery, and Xavi Hernandez is resting after a grueling season for Barcelona. Iker Casillas, Andres Iniesta and Pedro Rodriguez were on the bench for the start.

Seven of Spain’s starters were from Barcelona and Real Madrid, which played each other in four intense matches over 18 days. Barcelona won the home-and-home to advance to the Champions League final, Madrid won the Copa del Rey, and the teams drew in the league match.

The crowd of 64,121 was the largest to watch a U.S. soccer game in New England, though just a bit short of a sellout. Many were red-clad supporters of Spain, and those there to see the Americans lost their enthusiasm quickly once Spain got started.

The most spirit they could muster was a “Let’s Go, Bruins!” chant in support of the NHL team scheduled to play the Vancouver Canucks in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals later Saturday night.

Spain dominated the game, taking 20 shots to six for the U.S. After one goal was waved off for offside, Negredo hit the crossbar in the 13th minute. Spain finally scored in the 28th when David Silva worked the ball in and sent it across to Cazorla, who put it into the upper corner of the net to the goalkeeper’s right.

In the 32nd minute, Xabi Alonso popped one from behind midfield to Negredo as he outran the defense, collected it outside the box and left-footed it into the net.

Cazorla scored again in the 41st minute, leaving Howard in frustration.

“We got our butts kicked,” Howard said afterward, adding with a smile. “If we win the Gold Cup in a couple of weeks, nobody will remember this.”

Torres made it 4-0 in the 73rd, knocking it off one goalpost, then the other before it trickled over the line. It was the 27th international goal for “El Nino,” but just his second for club or country since joining Chelsea on Jan. 31 for a British record transfer fee of $80 million.

Drew wins it with single in 14th

BOSTON (AP)—J.D. Drew(notes) stuck with his usual laid-back approach after looking terrible the previous four times at the plate. It finally paid off—and ended a long day.

Drew struck out four consecutive times before he singled home Carl Crawford(notes) from second with two outs in the 14th inning Saturday, lifting the Boston Red Sox to a 9-8 win over the Oakland Athletics after closer Jonathan Papelbon(notes) blew a four-run lead in the ninth.

Drew, known as one of the quieter, more reserved players in the Red Sox clubhouse, felt like he was going to make contact. He rarely gets too excited and it even showed as he got dressed quickly after his game-winning hit.

“I had some good swings in all the earlier at-bats,” Drew said. “Sure it’s aggravating, you never want to strike out four times in a game. Even though I struck out four times, I thought I had some quality swings.”

Boston recovered for its 18th win in 26 games after Papelbon blew the big lead and was ejected along with catcher Jason Varitek(notes) a few minutes apart in the ninth.

“I just lost my cool,” Varitek said. “You can’t argue balls and strikes.”

Crawford had four hits and drove in three runs and Adrian Gonzalez(notes) had a solo homer and three hits for the Red Sox. Boston has beaten Oakland 14 of the last 18 games in Fenway Park.

Conor Jackson(notes) had a tying, pinch-hit two-run single in the ninth and a key double in the 11th as Oakland grabbed the lead, but Andrew Bailey(notes) couldn’t hold it. The Athletics lost their fifth straight.

“Obviously just didn’t do my job today and let the team down,” said Bailey, who made just his third appearance after missing the start of the season with a strained right forearm.

Alfredo Aceves(notes) (3-1) pitched four innings for the win. He gave up a run in the 11th before Boston rallied in the bottom of the inning.

In the game-winning rally, Crawford doubled into the left-field corner against Guillermo Moscoso(notes) (2-1), the Athletics ninth pitcher. After Jed Lowrie(notes) was intentionally walked, Drew lined a single to right-center to end the 5-hour, 17-minute game.

Landon Powell(notes), who struck out four times and went 1 for 7, grounded out with runners on first and second to end the top of the 14th. After that, the crowd— that was left—cheered when `Take Me Out To The Ball Game’ was played for a second time.

Oakland had taken an 8-7 lead in the 11th inning on Ryan Sweeney’s(notes) sacrifice fly against Aceves. Boston tied it with two outs in the bottom half. Jarrod Saltalamacchia(notes) doubled high off the left-field wall against Bailey and scored on Jacoby Ellsbury’s(notes) double down the right-field line.

Oakland, which entered the day scoring the second-fewest runs in the AL, scored four runs in a wild ninth against Papelbon after second baseman Dustin Pedroia(notes) booted a potential game-ending double-play grounder. Both Varitek and Papelbon were both ejected by home plate umpire Tony Randazzo in the inning.

“It was a great, great comeback to tie the game in the ninth, then to actually go ahead in extra innings,” A’s manager Bob Geren said. “We had the game. We were in pretty good shape.”

Mark Ellis(notes) singled leading off and Daric Barton(notes) walked. After Powell struck out, Pedroia had pinch-hitter Coco Crisp’s(notes) grounder go through his legs, scoring a run. Pennington’s RBI double made it 7-5 and Varitek was ejected while arguing during the hit.

“If I fielded that ball we would have won about four hours ago,” Pedroia said. “But we battled. We had a lot of key hits. I don’t think one play won or lost the game. It was one play in like a nine-hour game.”

Jackson then tied it with his two-run single. Papelbon was ejected after throwing the first pitch to the next hitter, Sweeney, and had to be restrained by manager Terry Francona. He appeared to bump Randazzo before being shoved out of the way by Francona.

Bobby Jenks(notes) got out of the inning when he struck out Hideki Matsui(notes) with runners on first and third with a pitch in the dirt that bounced away.

The late blowup spoiled another solid start by Josh Beckett(notes).

Beckett gave up three runs, four hits, walked three and fanned four over six-plus innings. It was just the third time in 12 starts that he’s given up more than two runs.

Cahill, coming off his worst consecutive starts of the season, gave up five runs on eight hits, striking out eight and walking one. He had given up a combined eight runs—seven earned—over 12 2-3 innings.

NOTES: Francona said before the game that RHP Clay Buchholz’s(notes) next start may be moved back few days because the pitcher was worried about how his back felt in Friday’s start. … Red Sox RHP John Lackey(notes) is scheduled to start the series finale on Sunday in his return from the 15-day DL after being sidelined with strained right elbow. … Oakland manager Bob Geren had said before the game that RHP Guillermo Moscoso, who worked 2 1-3 innings of scoreless relief in Friday’s loss, was still expected to start on Tuesday at Baltimore. But after he said he’d have to rethink things. … Boston SS Marco Scutaro(notes), on the DL since May 8 with a strained left oblique, was expected to start a rehab stint with Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday night againts Durham. The plan is for him to play short, second and DH over three games, in no particular order. “If he feels good, he’ll join us in New York on Monday,” Francona said. … The game was originally scheduled for 7:10, but moved to 1:10 after soliciting fans opinions online earlier this week because the Bruins were playing Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals on Saturday night. … Matsui snapped a career-worst 0-for-19 slump with an 11th-inning single.

Kurt Busch takes pole for Cup race in Kansas

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP)—Kurt Busch had never run all that well in Kansas, and a spinout during practice Friday certainly didn’t make it look as if he was about to turn that around.

Less than 24 hours and a few tweaks later, Busch captured the pole for NASCAR’s Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway and reversed a decade of tough luck at the 1.5-mile track.

Busch, who had never started higher than seventh in 10 career starts in Kansas and has never finished in the top five, topped the leaderboard at 174.752 mph in his No. 22 Dodge on Saturday.

Busch snapped out of an extended funk with a fourth-place finish last week in Charlotte. He had to have front end damage repaired following Friday’s spin, and that and other changes helped produce his first pole since Michigan last June and the 13th of his career.

“I have to thank my guys for standing behind me, not just through (Friday) but through some of the tough times we’ve been through as of late,” Busch said. “It’s an amazing world, the world of motorsports. One day you’re down, the next day you’re up.”

Juan Pablo Montoya will start second in Sunday’s race, followed by Kyle Busch and Brian Vickers.

Joey Logano qualified fifth, giving Toyota three cars in the top five.

“A lot better than we expected,” Kyle Busch said. “The guys did a good job with it and gave me a good piece to run a good lap. That’s all we can ask for. We’ve been having sort of a struggle this weekend so far and trying to make something out of nothing here.”

Jamie McMurray, who grew up in nearby Joplin, Mo., and visited the tornado-ravaged town Thursday, will start sixth.

Sprint Cup points leader Carl Edwards, also a Missouri native, will start seventh—the highest of any of the Fords in the field.

“I’m not going to tell you exactly what I did wrong, but I know it was something,” Edwards said. “I think we are going to have a really good shot at this race and that would mean a lot to me.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s momentum after a gut-wrenching but promising second-place finish at Charlotte stalled with a qualifying run of 28th. Jimmie Johnson, who beat Edwards to win here in 2008, will start 31st—by far his worst position in Kansas.

Sunday’s race will mark the midway point of the Sprint Cup’s regular season, and three drivers looking to move up in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings are hoping to become Kansas’ first three-time winner.

Tony Stewart (13th), Greg Biffle (14th) and Jeff Gordon (22nd) all have a pair of wins here—but none of them will start in the top 10.

Gordon, who took Kansas’s first two races in 2001-02, has seven top-five finishes at the track and four in a row.

Biffle took first in 2007, won again last fall in a Chase event and has the best driver rating of any driver at Kansas, ahead of Johnson. Stewart won Kansas in 2006 and 2009.

Of course, the way this season has gone almost anyone has a realistic shot at a win. Just five of the 12 winners in the Cup series so far this season have started from 20th or better.

This is the first summer Sprint Cup race on the schedule for Kansas, which added an event for 2011. Drivers expect the track to be hot and slick for Sunday’s race, which will start at noon local time.

The track will host its traditional fall race on October 9.

“There’s a bunch of differences with being out here in June and how warm it is. But I always look at the law of averages. If you’ve struggled somewhere for a long time, then maybe it’s—you’re due,” Busch said.

Li Na triumphs over Francesca Schiavone at French Open ‎

HELLO China.

It is the only appropriate response a temp- orarily exiled Glaswegian could give to the extraordinary events on Court Philippe Chatrier at Roland Garros yesterday afternoon.

Li Na became the first Asian woman to win a singles event in a Grand Slam tournament. Her French Open final victory over defending champion Francesca Schiavone was almost routine. Nothing else was.

The Chinese player won 6-4, 7-6 (7-0) in one hour 48 minutes and only threatened to wilt when she was broken at 4-3 in the second set. But the significance of yesterday’s events extends past a mediocre final. Her homeland has a population of more than one billion and both the men’s and women’s tours have been courting the country in recent years.

Li, who reached the final of the Australian Open in January, losing to Kim Clijsters, has put tennis at the forefront of a huge burgeoning market.

Perversely, it was the final that many in Paris did not want. France’s Marion Bartoli was knocked out by Schiavone in one semi-final and Li defeated Maria Sharapova in the other.

Yesterday’s match was dubbed the The Fire v The Ice, with the feisty Schiavone playing the former role. In truth, the Italian was overpowered in the early stages and never gained a foothold in the match. Li’s power and assurance only deserted her briefly in the second set when the realisation that she was on the brink of a Grand Slam victory unnerved her, allowing Schiavone to break back.

However, the decisive tie-break told the story of the match with a merciless precision. Li won all seven points before falling to the ground in celebration.

With Li at 29 and Schiavone at 30, this was the oldest Grand Slam final since Wimbledon in 1998 when Jana Novotna defeated Nathalie Tauziat. It was played at a tempo, however, that made no concessions to age.

Schiavone’s game is based on both a variety of shot and an ability to cover the court with her darting sprints. Li, powerful and alert, moved well, too, complementing her strong service game with devastating shots off both sides.

Li has progressed smoothly up the world rankings. At No 7 coming into Roland Garros, she will almost certainly enter the top five tomorrow. Further improvement is not beyond her. Her physique, strength and serve should all be powerful weapons at Wimbledon.

Last night, though, she was entitled to concentrate only on the achievement of Paris. Li, who gave up tennis for two years in 2002 to study journalism, said she would describe her victory in print as “a dream come true”.

As the media corps struggled to put a number on the Chinese watching the match on television, with estimates ranging extravagantly from 40 million to 400 million, Li revealed that any viewer figure would be short of at least one native. Her mum. “She is too nervous to watch,” said the champion.

Li, though, said her victory would have a huge effect on Chinese tennis. But, more pertinently, it will galvanise the player. She said her experience in Melbourne had helped her in the difficult moments of yesterday’s final and she looked forward to Wimbledon with quiet confidence.

Li will not return home in triumph just yet. She heads now to Eastbourne to tune up on the grass surface before advancing on south London. “I will go back home after Wimbledon,” she said. “If I don’t do well in Wimbledon, maybe people forget me already. These are tough times, you know.”

Li is a tough competitor and employer, too. Her husband, Jiang Shan, paid the price for her defeat in Melbourne, being sacked as her coach. He is now restricted to hitting duties while Michael Mortensen of Denmark does the coaching.

“I just wanted a change,” said Li of a move that would certainly have altered the temperature in the player’s household. “I want to be even better, so that’s why after Melbourne I changed my team a little bit.”

Schiavone was typically gracious in defeat, downplaying a controversial over-rule by the umpire that went against her and praising her opponent’s improved mobility on clay.

However, she was more cautious over attempts to portray Li as a potential No 1. “It is open, but to be No 1 you have really to win many, many matches. Not just one tournament, one Grand Slam,” she said.

Kenyan Mosop breaks 30k world record

EUGENE, Oregon (AP)—Kenya’s Moses Mosop broke a world record by running the 30,000 meters in 1 hour, 26 minutes, 47.4 seconds on Friday at the Prefontaine Classic meet.

Mosop also broke the 25,000-meter world record en route in 1:12:25.4.

Both records were previously held by Japan’s Toshihiko Seko, who ran the rarely contested 30k in 1:29:18.8 and the 25k in 1:13:55.8 in the same race at Christchurch in 1981.

The race was among the distance events contested Friday night as part of the Prefontaine Classic, the fourth stop on the international Diamond League circuit.

The meet continues on Saturday.

Phillies lose 2-1 in 12 innings to Pirates

PITTSBURGH (AP)—All season, the Philadelphia Phillies have waited to have their entire everyday lineup available.

Friday, they finally got it. What it didn’t get was any sustained offense.

Cole Hamels(notes) allowed only one hit in eight innings, but the Phillies managed only six hits in a 2-1, 12-inning loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

“We didn’t hit,” Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel said. “We need to score some runs. Hamels pitched very good. The bullpen was good. We went five innings where we didn’t square a ball up. We went 15 outs and didn’t hit a ball on the nose.”

Jose Tabata(notes) hit a game-ending single with two outs in the 12th inning as the Phillies lost their third consecutive game for only the second time this season.

Philadelphia has scored only four runs in those three games.

“I think this lineup is going to hit,” Manuel said. “It has to hit. I’ve got confidence in those guys hitting. I’ve seen those guys hit for four or five years, some of those guys for six or seven years. I don’t see any reason why we won’t hit. We can get started any time we want, though. That’s how I look at it. I like the lineup.”

Outfielder Shane Victorino(notes) was activated from the disabled list Friday; he, Chase Utley(notes), Ruiz and Domonic Brown(notes) had all missed parts of the season thus far with injury.

But having all their regulars available did little to help an offense that ranks a pedestrian 18th in the majors in runs.

“It’s good to have everyone together,” Hamels said. “Now we need to try to keep guys healthy, go out and play to the best of our ability and try to get on a positive roll.”

Tabata smacked a sinking liner off of Danys Baez(notes) (1-3) toward the hole on the right side that a lunging Utley got a glove on but could not handle. Right fielder Ben Francisco’s(notes) throw was not in time, giving Tabata his second RBI of the game when Xavier Paul(notes) scored from second. Paul had singled with two outs and stole a base.

Pittsburgh won for the third time in four games.

Hamels and Jeff Karstens(notes) had dueling one-hitters going through five innings.

“I really felt fortunate to get out of it by giving up only one run,” Hamels said. “I wasn’t happy about how I executed my pitches. A lot of guys hit balls hard but they were right at guys. We played good defense and that saved me.”

Daniel Moskos(notes) (1-0) earned his first major league win for Pittsburgh.

Moskos worked a perfect top of the 12th—surviving a Carlos Ruiz(notes) fly to the warning track in right-center.

The crowd of 33,861 was the Pirates’ third-largest of the season—heavily aided by several thousand Phillies fans who had made the cross-state drive.

Jimmy Rollins(notes) led of the game with an infield single, but Karstens retired 15 of the next 16 he faced.

After Karstens hit Ryan Howard(notes) with a pitch later in the first, the Phillies didn’t have another baserunner until the sixth. They had two on and none out with the heart of their order coming up, prompting the sea of red in the stands to start chanting “Let’s go Phillies!”

Placido Polanco(notes) lined into a double play, but Rollins stole second, and Utley drove him in when he softly lined a single that found its way through the right side of the infield.

The Pirates tied the game at 1 in the bottom of the inning without a hit.

Cedeno led off with a walk and was sacrificed to second by Karstens. A wild pitch got him to third and he scored when Tabata flew out to deep right.

Karstens, who had two strikeouts and did not walk a batter, continued a recent stretch of good Pirates starting pitching. Paul Maholm(notes) allowed six earned runs in Pittsburgh’s previous game Thursday, snapping a streak of 13 games in which starters allowed two earned runs or less.

“We know what their starting staff is like, and we know what our job is: Try to go out there and keep pace with Cole and give our team a chance to win,” Karstens said. “It took a little longer than we wanted but we eventually got the big hit in the 12th.

“It was a fun game,” Karstens said.

Hamels pitched well enough to win what would have been his fourth consecutive start for the third time in his career and tie Pittsburgh’s Kevin Correia(notes) for the majors’ lead in victories with eight. He has allowed only 20 earned runs over his past 11 starts.

“He was really sharp, Hamels,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. “There wasn’t a lot of hittable balls for us.”

NOTES: The walkoff hit was Tabata’s second of the season, the other coming April 8 against Colorado. … Victorino, out since May 18 with a strained right hamstring, went 0 for 5. … The Pirates are 21-12 against the Phillies at 10-year-old PNC Park. … Philadelphia has lost nine of its past 14 road games. … The only other time Philadelphia lost as many as three in a row was a four-game skid May 14-17. … .. Rollins stole two bases, extending the Phillies’ streak to 11 consecutive successful steals and 23 out of 24.

Francesca Schiavone, Na Li showing tennis' youth how it's done ‎

PARIS — Li Na of China is 29 years old, and she will be the younger of the two women in Saturday’s French Open singles final.

Her opponent, Francesca Schiavone of Italy, last year’s champion, turns 31 next month.

These two old ladies are going to show the kids how you go about winning a major.

Much has been written about the aging of the WTA Tour, with the next wave seemingly stalled the last couple of years.

In 2011, it has morphed from emerging trend to fact of life — even with the Williams sisters out and 27-year-old Kim Clijsters in and out.
