BOSTON -- Marco Borriello scored in the 90th minute to
give Roma a 1-0 victory over Liverpool in a preseason
friendly Wednesday night at Fenway Park. There were
limited chances until Borriello volleyed in a corner from
in front of goal. "Both teams played with young players,"
Roma coach Rudi Garcia said via a translator. "I am quite
happy with the development we had." For the second time
in three years, Fenway, the home of the Boston Red Sox,
was transformed into the home of Liverpool, which is
owned by Fenway Sports Group. John Henry, owner of the
Red Sox, also is the controlling partner of Fenway Sports
Group. Roma beat Liverpool 2-1 at Fenway two years ago.
"Its the second time in the last couple of years,"
Liverpool coach Brendan Rodgers said. "It was a great
atmosphere. The support was great. I think it was for
both -- fantastic. For a preseason game, it was a very,
very good game." Roma is by NBA team, the Boston Celtics,
minority owner Jim Pallotta. Roma goalkeeper Lukasz
Skorupski made a diving save near the post on Rickie
Lamberts kick from just outside the box in the 57th
minute. Roma seemed to have the territorial edge in the
first half and Liverpool a slight edge in the second in a
match that had just a handful of shots on goal. Liverpool
rested a number of its star players, including captain
Steven Gerrard, but the mostly red-clad crowd didnt seem
to mind. "Its going to be great for me to see our young
players gain experience," Rodgers said. Wednesdays game
was the first of four scheduled matches in the United
States for Liverpool, which travels to Chicago, New York
and Charlotte.

the first of two international friendlies that Canada is
playing during the international break, with the second
game against Slovenia set for Tuesday in Celje. Canada
looked uncomfortable defensively throughout the game, and
every free kick that came into Canadas penalty box looked
like ending up in the back of the net.

Chicago Cubs bullpen needed a break. New manager Rick
Renteria needed a win. Jason Hammel did a pretty solid
job providing both. The veteran right-hander pitched two-
hit ball into the seventh inning and the Cubs edged the
Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 on Thursday for their first
victory of the season. "I didnt think it was going to be
such a relief but it is quite a relief," Renteria said.
"Its nice to win. These games were tough. Taking the last
one was very gratifying." Particularly considering the
first two were so draining. The Cubs lost in 10 innings
on opening day and in 16 innings on Wednesday night --
actually, early Thursday morning -- in a 5-hour, 55-
minute marathon that marked the longest Major League
Baseball game (by time anyway) ever held in Pittsburgh.
Hammel and four relievers needed only 2:39 to help the
Cubs avoid their first 0-3 start since 1997, when the
club lost 14 straight to begin the season. The 31-year-
old Hammel allowed one run in 6 2-3 innings with one walk
and five strikeouts. "He couldnt have been any better,"
Renteria said of Hammel. "He got to 97 pitches, got us
into the seventh inning to help save the bullpen. He
worked through a pretty good lineup pretty easily." The
Cubs signed Hammel to a one-year, $6 million contract in
February hoping he can provide some stability in the
middle of the rotation. He was sharp in his Chicago
debut, allowing singles in the first and third innings
but otherwise keeping the Pirates in check. "We played
three great games here," Hammel said. "There is no reason
to hang our heads because we only won one. We played
great but it looks like were going to be one-run
warriors. Youve got to win these type of games and we
did. We got some timely hits, good defence and played
well for 27 outs." Emilio Bonifacio went 2 for 4 and
scored twice to continue his torrid start. The Chicago
centre fielder hit 11 for 16 (.688) during the opening
three-game series.dddddddddddd Mike Olt hit the first
home run of his career for the Cubs. Tony Sanchez hit a
two-run single in the seventh for the Pirates but
Pittsburgh couldnt put together its first 3-0 start since
2007. Wandy Rodriguez (0-1) struggled early in his first
start in 10 months but settled down late. The left-hander
allowed three runs on five hits with a walk and five
strikeouts. He retired 10 of the last 11 batters he faced
after missing most of 2013 with tightness in his left
forearm. "(Rodriguez) finished up very efficiently, very
strong, a very good outing," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle
said. "A big confidence boost for him and a momentum
builder." After slogging through 26 innings in the first
two games of the series, things moved a bit more briskly
on a cold, wet day at PNC Park thanks in part to a pair
of pitchers who werent in the mood to nibble at the
plate. Hammel left the seventh after walking Neil Walker
with two outs. Pittsburgh took advantage of another shaky
performance from Chicagos bullpen with Sanchez -- who
provided the walkoff hit on Wednesday -- smacking a two-
run single up the middle off Justin Grimm to pull the
Pirates within a run. Pittsburgh put the tying run on
base leading off both the eighth and ninth, but Strop got
Sanchez to line into a game-ending double play. NOTES:
Renteria said the club will wait to decide whether RHP
Carlos Villanueva will make his scheduled start on Sunday
against Philadelphia. Villanueva pitched 1 1-3 innings
and took the loss on Wednesday night. ... The Cubs open
the 100th season at Wrigley Park on Friday against the
Phillies. Travis Wood starts for Chicago against Roberto
Hernandez. ... The Pirates open a three-game series on
Friday against defending NL Central champion St. Louis.
Gerrit Cole, who took the loss in Game 5 of the NL
division series against the Cardinals last year, starts
for Pittsburgh against Shelby Miller.
