BERLIN -- Hamburger SV ground out a hard-fought 2-0 victory at relegation rival Darmstadt to get off the bottom of the table with its first Bundesliga win of the season on Sunday.Goals in either half proved enough for Markus Gisdols side to move one point above Ingolstadt and one behind Darmstadt, whose coach Norbert Meier will be feeling the pressure after six straight defeats across all competitions.Hamburg had the better of an intensive first half with Michael Gregoritsch scoring on the half-hour mark, heading in from close range after Filip Kostic whipped in a good cross.Gregoritsch almost opened the scoring 10 minutes earlier when he was just a whisker wide of the far post with the best chance up to then.Marcel Heller and Antonio Colak were denied a good opportunity to equalize by the offside flag when TV replays showed they had been level with the last Hamburg defender.The second half was as scrappy as the first with few highlights until Matthias Ostrzolek sealed the win in the last minute.Both sides showed why they remain candidates for relegation this season.---AUGSBURG 1, EINTRACHT FRANKFURT 1Augsburg put the brakes on Frankfurts progress as the visitors had to cope without attacking midfielder Marco Fabian, who was suspended.Branimir Hrgota fired Frankfurt into an early lead in the first goal conceded by Augsburg in four games.But the home side gradually improved and Ji Dong-won equalized with a fine strike 10 minutes before the interval. The South Korean forward thought hed scored again after the break before an offside decision.Both sides enjoyed chances in an open second half before settling for the draw.Im happy with the point, said Frankfurt coach Nico Kovac, whose side dropped to fifth but remains unbeaten in eight games across all competitions. Alex Ovechkin Jersey . The Australian is competing in his final season in Formula One and still looking for his first win this year. He will look to end Vettels run of six straight race wins on Sunday. Webber, who is fifth in the championship, earned his second pole from the past three races and 13th of his career. Mike Gartner Jersey . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable. http://www.officialcapitalsfanstore.com/authentic-jakub-vrana-capitals-jersey/ . On June 12, just as the sun sets on the magnificent historical city of Sao Paulo the inventors, innovators and purveyors of “joga bonitowill” open their campaign. The opponent, Croatia and all its football might and will. As opposites do attract we are set for a corker of an opener. Dale Hunter Jersey . After a replay, the winner will meet Sunderland in the quarterfinals. Sagbo did well to control Sone Alukos right cross and fire past Brighton goalkeeper Peter Brezovan. Aluko was making his first start in four months after recovering from an Achilles injury. Evgeny Kuznetsov Jersey . The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead. The Czechs pulled two back in the ninth, but Shusters team of third Jeff Isaacson, second Jared Zezel and lead John Landsteiner ended with another point to secure the last Olympic berth on offer. SAN FRANCISCO -- Two teams limping to the All-Star break hope to get good news on the injury front Monday when the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants open a three-game series at AT&T Park.Rookie shortstop Trevor Story could be back in the starting lineup for the Rockies, while the Giants expect to welcome back reliever Sergio Romo -- and possible other mainstays, too.The Rockies (37-44, third place in the National League West) are looking forward to the return of Story, who sustained a bruised right middle finger when hit by a pitch last June 26 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.The All-Star candidate sat out one day, then returned to the lineup Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays and went 0-for-4. He was shelved for the next four days before entering the Sunday game at Dodger Stadium in the seventh inning on a double switch. He eventually struck out in his only at-bat.(Hes) much, much better, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said before Sundays game. Hes swinging in the cage and looks really good. Its just a matter of if he gets jammed or hits a ball off the end of the bat, how is it going to affect him.Story was quite a story when he belted six home runs in his first four games. He finished April with 10 homers, but he added just four in May and five in June.On the eve of All-Star selections, he still leads NL shortstops with 19 homers. However, Dodgers rookie shortstop Corey Seager has 17 home runs to go with a .303 batting average (Story is at .266), and Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford has passed Story in RBI (53-50).And then there is Addison Russell of the Chicago Cubs, who appeared well on his way to getting the fan vote as the starting shortstop in the latest tabulations.Left-hander Tyler Anderson (0-2, 2.66 ERA) will get the call on the mound Monday for the Rockies, who were swept in their series with the Dodgers that ended Sunday.Anderson, the Rockies first-round pick in 2011, has been impressive in his first four big-league starts despite going winless. He has allowed no more than two earned runs in any game, and he has more strikkeouts (24) than innings pitched (23 2/3).ddddddddddddHe has never faced the Giants.The Rockies wont have left fielder Gerardo Parra (sprained left ankle) in the series, meaning both teams will be short-handed in the outfield.The Giants won their series finale at Arizona on Sunday with Jarrett Parker, a corner outfielder, playing center field, and Brandon Belt, a first baseman, manning left field.They were forced into desperation mode with right fielder Hunter Pence (strained right hamstring) on the disabled list and center fielder Denard Span (sore neck) and super-sub Gregor Blanco (sore left knee) unable to go.Giants manager Bruce Bochy flew home Sunday night not knowing who would be available in his outfield for Mondays game. His infield, with third baseman Matt Duffy (strained right Achilles) and second baseman Joe Panik (concussion) currently out of action as well, also is hurting.Bochy was hoping, on the other hand, to have invaluable setup man Romo available.Romo, who hasnt pitched for the Giants since April 10 because of a strained flexor in his right arm, completed an extensive rehab stint in the minors over the weekend and was told to meet the team in San Francisco for an examination.The Giants (52-32, first place in NL West) struggled with Romos usual role -- the eighth inning -- in each of the past two games at Arizona.Hunter Strickland gave up a lead-losing home run to Welington Castillo in the eighth inning Saturday in a 6-5 loss. The Giants were able to overcome a game-tying shot by Jake Lamb off Cory Gearrin in the eighth Sunday to win 5-4 in 11 innings.Weve got to tighten it up, Bochy said about his bullpen before Sundays game. Were banged up, and (opponents) are finding ways to score runs. Weve just got to start holding those leads a little better.Right-hander Jake Peavy (4-7, 5.33) will get the start for the Giants on Monday. He has a 7-8 record with a 4.17 ERA in 23 career starts against Colorado. ' ' '
