Tevez was offside when he headed in a pass from Lionel Messi in the eighth minute. The referee awarded the goal after consulting with his linesman, the pair surrounded by angrily gesturing Mexican and Argentine players. In the 33rd, Higuain rounded the goalkeeper to make it 2- 0 after Ricardo Osorio, under no pressure, played the ball straight into his path. In the 52nd, Tevez rifled in an unstop- pable shot from 25 yards. Mexico’s Javier Hernandez scored in the 71st. Argentina will play Germany on Saturday in Cape Town. Germany 4, England 1 BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa (AP) — Germany’s latest World Cup victory over England will be remembered not for any of the brilliant goals, but for the one that didn’t count.

The Tehama Family Fitness Center held another one of its heart-pounding competitions, June 19 with its popular Pump and Run. First, competitors had to lift 110 percent body weight or a per- centage based on the division they were competing in. Each complete bench press rep- etition deducted 30 seconds off of the second part of the contest — a 5 kilomter run. A maximum deduction of 15 minutes could be made in the pumping portion. Contestants ranged in age from 24 to 70 years-old. “With this event I hope to inspire the runner to lift weights and the weight lifter to run” Tehama Family Fitness Center General Manager Troy Lalaguna said. The fitness center plans to host another Pump and Run on Sept. 11 and Lalaguna urges participants to begin training now. Greg Duarte with a mark of 7:47 and Leticia Ramos with a combined time of 10:56 were the overall champions. Duarte won the men’s 40-49 division and Ramos won the women’s 40-49. Other division winners includ- ed Josh Sheperd in the men’s 39- and-under, Glen Eicholtz (7:56) in the men’s 50-59, Joe Brown (12:35) in the men’s 70-79, Cori Bartolomei (21:36) in the women’s 39-and-under and Margo Frantz (24:39) in the women’s 60- 69 group. Lester’s gem stops Giants SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jon Lester pitched a five-hitter, David Ortiz splashed a home run into McCovey Cove and the Boston Red Sox beat Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants 5-1 Sunday. Lester put the Red Sox ahead for good with a sacrifice fly in the second inning. Adrian Beltre also homered and Marco Scutaro and Bill Hall each hit RBI singles as Boston took the series. The Red Sox finished up a rocky, six-game road trip that included sever- al injuries and lots of lineup shuffling. Lincecum (8-3), the two-time reign- ing NL Cy Young Award winner, was done after a season-low three innings having already thrown 79 pitches. He had a three-start winning streak snapped. Lester (9-3) gave Boston a big boost a day after the Red Sox relied on reliev- ers for all but one inning because starter Clay Buchholz hyperextended his left knee. Lester struck out nine and walked one. Hall, filling in while second baseman Dustin Pedroia recov- ers from a broken left foot, also dou- bled and scored a run. J.D. Drew tripled off the wall in right leading off the sixth, a positive sign for the Red Sox as the right field- er returned to the starting lineup for the first time since leaving a June 18 game with a strained right hamstring. Lester’s career-high eight-game winning streak was snapped Tuesday at Colorado but he was on from the start in this one. He got a nice early lift from Big Papi’s bat, then rolled. Lester retired 17 of the final 18 batters he faced in order, including the last 10 in an efficient 103-pitch performance. He pitched his sixth career complete game and second of 2010. Ortiz’s home run ball was quickly snatched up by a kayaker in San Fran- cisco Bay. It was the 72nd time a homer reached the water at 11-year-old AT&T Park and the 20th by an oppo- nent. Arizona’s Miguel Montero was the last to do so on Sept. 29, 2009. Home run king Barry Bonds has 35 of them. Aubrey Huff, who drove in San Francisco’s lone run on a ground- out, has two splash-hit homers this sea- son. Ortiz, playing first base for the fourth time this season and first start of the series, was called out on strikes in his next at-bat and he had an earful for home plate umpire Mike DiMuro afterward. The slugger struck out swinging against Dan Runzler to start the fifth. Lincecum was trying to finish an unbeaten June after allowing only four earned runs over 22 innings for a 1.64 ERA in winning his previous three starts. He allowed that many alone in his three innings Sunday, giving up five hits, striking out four and walking one. San Francisco rookie Buster Posey went 0 for 4 in his first career game in the cleanup spot. Suzuki’s second chance homer lifts A’s OA K - LAND (AP) — Given a second chance, Kurt Suzuki gave the Oakland Ath- letics the lead. Suzuki homered with two outs in the eighth inning after a dropped foul popup and the Athletics beat Pitts- burgh 3-2 Sunday, the Pirates’ 17th straight road loss. With the score 2-all, Pirates reliever Evan Meek (3-2) struck out the first two batters in the eighth. Suzuki followed with a pop that catcher Jason Jaramillo dropped for an error. ‘‘I thought, ’Not again, not another foul popup,’’’ Suzuki said. ‘‘I saw him drop it out and it gave me renewed life. I thought, ’OK, this is the break I needed. Let’s do something about it.’’’ Two pitches later, Suzuki hit his 10th home run. The A’s won with only three hits. ‘‘I missed it,’’ Jaramil- lo said. ‘‘That’s it. I should have had it.’’ Pirates manager John Russell was a little more explicit. ‘‘We stunk in every aspect,’’ he said. ‘‘Two stu- pid mistakes spoiled a very nice start by our pitcher. You can’t play like that and expect to win.’’ The game ended with a strange twist. Pinch-hitter Delwyn Young led off the ninth with a single and, with two outs, was hit by Pedro Alvarez’s grounder near first base for the final out. ‘‘That’s not our best game but we still won,’’ A’s manager Bob Geren said. ‘‘Sometimes you play well and come up short. Mis- takes by the other team cer- tainly helped us out a lot. It could have been an ’F-2’ and Kurt turned it into a home run.’’ The A’s won their third straight after losing seven of their previous eight. Pitts- burgh lost its sixth in a row. Oakland is 9-0 all-time against the Pirates. ‘‘Things even out over the long haul,’’ Geren said. ‘‘It’s very unusual to win with three hits but we’ll take it.’’ Craig Breslow (3-1) pitched the eighth to pick up the win. Andrew Bailey pitched the ninth for his 14th save. Lastings Milledge hit a home run and Jose Tabata also drove in a run for the Pirates, who finished 2-13 in interleague play. Both starters pitched well. Gio Gonzalez took a three-hit shutout into the seventh and Ross Ohlendorf pitched two-hit ball for six innings and did not allow an earned run. Milledge led off the sev- enth with a home that pulled the Pirates within 2-1, a hit that finished Gonzalez. ‘‘I did all right,’’ Gonza- lez said. ‘‘The infield showed we’ve got a bunch of gold gloves out there. They turned a few double plays that really helped me. We got the win, that’s the main thing.’’ Reliever Brad Ziegler was summoned to face Adam LaRoche, who sin- gled up the middle and advanced a base on the next two groundouts. Tabata’s double tied the game. Ohlendorf walked Cliff Pennington to open the third and then threw the ball away at first trying to pick him off. First baseman Garrett Jones threw the ball down the left field line on the same play trying to get Pennington advancing to third. Ohlendorf walked Jack Cust leading off the fifth. Center fielder Andrew McCutchen dropped Mark Ellis’ fly ball and Penning- ton’s infield single loaded the bases. Ohlendorfer walked Coco Crisp to force home a run before retiring the next three hitters to avoid further damage. Thomas Mueller scored twice in the second half and Eng- land had a goal that the referee did not award in a 4-1 victo- ry Sunday that put Germany into the World Cup quarterfi- nals. The 20-year-old forward finished two quick German counterattacks within 3 minutes to sink England’s hopes of beating Germany at the World Cup for the first time since the 1966 final. England was not helped by referee Jorge Lar- rionda waving play on even though Frank Lampard’s first- half shot landed well past the goal line after hitting the cross- bar. Germany led 2-1 at the time. Germany went up on goals by Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski before Matthew Upson pulled a goal back in the 37th minute. On Lampard’s non-goal, after the ball landed inside the goal, it ball spun back into the arms of Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. Capello initially celebrated what he thought was an equaliz- er by clenching his fists and shaking his arms. But his face changed when he realized the goal had not been given. Mueller scored on the counterattack in the 67th minute, hav- ing started the move after a long clearance by Jerome Boateng. Mueller passed to Bastian Schweinsteiger, who patiently dribbled upfield and ran across the 18-yard line to feed the unguarded Mueller. His shot hit the hand of England goalkeeper David James and went in. Three minutes later, Mueller struck again after a break on the left wing by Mesut Oezil. Johnson wins New Hamp. LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson surged past Kurt Busch with three laps left to win the Sprint Cup race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Busch grabbed the lead Sunday with about seven laps left when he nudged Johnson out of the way. Johnson and Busch quickly got side-by-side to energize what had been a lack- luster race. The four-time defending champion pulled away to win his second straight race after taking the checkered flag last week on the road course at Infineon Raceway. Tony Stewart finished second and Busch was third. Jeff Gordon was fourth. Johnson put a little bump on Busch to move him up the track, allowing the No. 48 to slip under- neath and win for the fifth time this season. Bubba Watson wins Travelers CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) — Bubba Watson won for the first time on the PGA Tour, coming from six shots down to win the Travelers Championship in a three-way playoff. Watson sunk a 3-foot par putt on the second playoff hole to beat Scott Verplank and Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin, after they all finished at 14-under par. Justin Rose, who was coming off his first PGA Tour win earlier this month at the Memorial, had a three-stroke lead coming into Sunday. But the 29-year-old Englishman was 1-over par on the front nine, and collapsed on the back, shooting a 5-over 75. Pavin was eliminated on the first playoff hole. Verplank left his tee shot short on the second playoff hole, the par-3 16th, and came up short on a birdie putt. Kerr romps at LPGA Championship PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Cristie Kerr soared to a 12- stroke victory at the LPGA Championship on Sunday in one of the most lopsided wins at a major, leaving her in position to become the first American ranked No. 1. Kerr closed with a birdie for 6-under 66, finishing at 19- under 269 and leading all four rounds. This was her second major title, the other coming at the 2007 U.S. Women’s Open. Kerr began the final round with an eight-stroke lead on a humid, overcast day at Locust Hill Country Club. She opened with six straight pars before birdieing three of her next four holes. By winning the $337,500 purse at the $2.25 million tournament, Kerr was projected by the LPGA to overtake Japan’s Ai Miyazato when the world rankings are released Monday.
