pitcher had done it since Dizzy Trout in 1944. Brad Mills (1-1) took the loss for Oakland, allow- ing three runs and six hits with three walks in six-plus innings. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the fourth when Miguel Cabrera walked, took third on J.D. Marti- nez's double and scored on a groundout by Torii Hunter. Oakland, in the mean- time, was becoming the latest team to struggle for answers against Porcello, managing only two hits in the first six innings. Martinez, starting for the second straight night while Victor Martinez deals with soreness in his left side, made it 3-0 with a two-run homer in the sixth. After moving into the everyday lineup in early June, J.D. Martinez is hitting .376 with seven homers and 20 RBIs in 19 games. After that, the only sus- pense was if Porcello could finish off the shutout, and do it in under 100 pitches. He accomplished both, get- ting Brandon Moss to fly out to end the game on his 95th pitch. A's FROMPAGE1 The Americans ad- vanced from a difficult first-round group that in- cluded Germany, Portugal and Ghana to reach the knockout rounds of con- secutive World Cups for the first time. Four years ago, they were eliminated in South Africa by Ghana 1-0 on a goal in the third minute of extra time. Fans who had made the trek south of the equator chanting "I believe that we will win!" could hardly believe they lost, extend- ing a World Cup winless streak against European nations to nine games over 12 years. The crowd of 51,227 at Arena Fonte Nova ap- peared to be about one third pro-U.S., with 10 per- cent backing the Belgians and the rest neutral. Back home, millions watched in offices, homes and public gatherings that included a huge crowd at Chicago's Soldier Field. "There's a lot to build on going forward," Klinsmann said. President Barack Obama joined about 200 staffers in an Executive Office Build- ing auditorium to watch the second half. "I believe!" he exclaimed as he walked in at the front of the hall. "I believe!" In its first World Cup under Klinsmann, the U.S. had promised to play at- tacking soccer. But once again the Americans had trouble maintaining pos- session and for much of the night it seemed as if the field were tilted. The 35-year-old Howard kept saving his team. Bel- gium had 38 shots to 14 by the U.S. But when Matt Besler lost his balance on an at- tack down the right, Rom- elu Lukaku sped in alone and crossed in front of the goal. The ball rebounded off defender Omar Gonza- lez, and Kevin De Bruyne controlled it, spun and beat Howard just over his right foot in the third minute of extra time. Then with the U.S. push- ing for an equalizer 12 min- utes later, De Bruyne burst ahead and fed Lukaku. He slotted the ball past How- ard, his Everton teammate, for a 2-0 lead that seem- ingly put the game out of reach. But Green, among five German-Americans on the U.S. roster and a surprise pick, woke up the team and its fans with his first touch, setting off raucous chants of "U-S-A! U-S-A!" There would be no final come- back this time, though. "You get to this point and these games are al- ways about a play here and play there," Bradley said. Chris Wondolowski had a chance to win it in stoppage time when Jer- maine Jones flicked the ball to him at the top of the 6-yard box, but with Courtois coming out Won- dolowski put the ball over the crossbar. U.S. forward Jozy Al- tidore, who strained his hamstring in the World Cup opener, did not play again. Klinsmann had announced Monday he would be available, but the coach said after the game the forward wasn't quite ready. "The dream falls short, but this is an incredible group," Howard said, "and we'll never forget this night." World Cup FROM PAGE 1 ing some unbelievable ten- nis on the grass." That's for sure. Playing in only his fifth major tournament — he got into the field thanks to a wild-card invitation — Kyrgios is the first man to reach the quarterfinals in his Wimbledon debut in 10 years. He's also the first teenager to defeat the top- ranked man at a Slam since Nadal was 19 when he beat Roger Federer at the 2005 French Open. " We keep saying, 'Who's the next guy?' And I think we may have found him," seven-time major champion John McEnroe said on the BBC broadcast. Nadal dropped the first set in each of his previous three matches before com- ing back to win. When he took the second set Tues- day, though, Kyrgios stayed steady. "Kyrgios is young; he has nothing to lose," said Nadal's uncle and coach, Toni "It's like when Boris Becker won here. He was 17 and had a very good serve. He could beat everyone because of his serve. It's the same with Kyrgios. He plays aggressively and without any doubts." For Nadal, who won Wimbledon in 2008 and 2010, it was yet another early exit at the grass- court tournament against a much-lower-ranked op- ponent. In 2012, he lost in the second round against No. 100 Lukas Rosol. Last year, he was beaten in the first round by No. 135 Steve Darcis. Neither of those players is consid- ered an up-and-coming contender like Kyrgios is, but the common thread among the trio was going for broke. "The thing is, (on) this surface, when you have an opponent that decides to serve and to hit every ball very strong, you are in trouble," Nadal said. Kyrgios, who saved nine match points while beat- ing 13th-seeded Rich- ard Gasquet in the sec- ond round, showed zero hint of nerves. Indeed, he soaked up all the attention and adoration offered by the Centre Court crowd, particularly after an au- dacious trick shot: Facing the net at the baseline, he whipped his racket around his back and casually flicked a shot that sailed between his legs and over the net for a winner. He joked about reading that his mother said she didn't think he could beat Nadal. "It actually made me a bit angry," Kyrgios said, then noted: "I'll just text her a smiley face." Today, he faces No. 8 Mi- los Raonic of Canada, an- other man never before this far at Wimbledon. The other men's quarterfinals: seven-time Wimbledon champion Federer against good friend and Austra- lian Open champion Stan Wawrinka in an all-Swiss matchup; defending cham- pion Andy Murray against No. 11 Grigor Dimitrov; and 2011 champion Novak Djokovic against No. 26 Marin Cilic.
