Canada 216 (Dutta 43, Jasdeep 4-51, Hutchinson 2-20) beat USA 199 (Dodson 73, Babar 62, Dhindsa 4-37, Pervez 3-42) by 17 runsScorecardAnother superb spell by Cecil Pervez helped Canada stave off USAs lower order and retain the Auty Cup, as they secured a 17-run win in the second match at Woodley Park on Friday. Pervez followed up his 3 for 38 in the first match on Thursday with 3 for 42, including the key scalp of Akeem Dodson for 73.USA, who had won the toss earlier, got off to a shaky start in their chase of Canadas 216, when they stumbled to 10 for 3 in four overs. Abdullah Syed was bowled for a golden duck by a Pervez inswinger in the first over, before Alex Amsterdam and captain Steven Taylor were both caught driving to Canada captain Nitish Kumar at backward point, off Satsimranjit Dhindsa.Dodson and opener Fahad Babar then put on a USA fourth-wicket record partnership of 127 - also USAs best ever stand against Canada for any wicket - to dig the hosts out of a major hole. Dodson counterattacked early in his innings, exploiting the short straight boundary as he skipped down the track to loft offspinner Nikhil Dutta over long-on for six in the eighth over. He eventually brought up his fifty off 62 balls in the 25th over, while Babar brought up the same landmark off 79 balls in the 30th.Kumar rotated his spinners in an effort to slow down the scoring rate and build pressure. It had its desired effect by the 32nd, when Dodson offered his first chance on 54, drilling a return catch to Varun Sehdev that ricocheted off the bowlers hand and had the crowd gasping as it nearly carried to the fielder charging in from the long-off boundary. Babar eventually cracked at the other end with two balls to go in the 36th, when he tried to guide Junaid Siddiquis legspin behind point but played on to his stumps instead. This opened the door to the rest of USAs fragile middle order.Dodson offered another chance just two balls later, driving Dutta flat to long off, where substitute fielder Shehan Kamileen spilled the chance. Dutta plugged away and eventually got his first wicket later in the over as Nicholas Standford played around his pads to be trapped in front for a third-ball duck.With USA needing 64 off nine overs and Dodson still at the crease on 73, Kumar brought back Pervez for his second spell. The seamer struck with his fifth ball, getting one to jag back from outside off and bowl Dodson. It was the first of four wickets in consecutive overs, as keeper Hamza Tariq caught Timil Patel - down the leg side - off Dhindsa in the 43rd over, and Hammad Shahid off Pervez in the 44th. Dhindsa then induced a leading edge from Jessy Singh for the ninth wicket, to put Canada within one wicket of victory at 163 for 9 in the 45th.Elmore Hutchinson, the only other USA player to reach double figures, gave them hope briefly when he sandwiched a cut through point for four between two monstrous sixes over the sightscreen to take Pervez for 19 in the 46th over. Dhindsa followed that up with a sloppy over that included two wides and another four through point, to bring the equation down to 21 off 18 balls.A long Canadian team discussion ensued before Kumar gave the ball to left-arm spinner Salman Nazar, who had figures of 0 for 25 in four overs at that stage and hadnt bowled since the 17th over. After three singles off the first five balls, Nazar ended the match with an arm ball to No. 11 Prashanth Nair, who tried to dab it past the keeper, expecting turn, but instead chopped it onto his stumps. Hutchinson was left stranded on 37.Earlier in the day, five Canadian batsmen crossed 20 but nobody reached 50. Dutta, promoted to No. 4 after making a second-ball duck on Thursday at No. 8, top-scored with 43. He came in after Hutchinson dismissed both openers inside the Powerplay, having Bhavindu Adhihetty caught slogging to mid-on for 14, and Srimantha Wijeratne edging a flick down the leg side for 18.Nitish Kumar made a brisk 32 at No. 3, before he was caught in the covers off Nairs left-arm spin. Coming together at 74 for 3, Dutta and Sehdev then produced Canadas best partnership of the day, putting on 53 for the fourth wicket, before legspinner Patel had Sehdev caught behind for 26. Nazar then spooned a catch to Taylor at midwicket in Patels next over before Dutta fell in the 37th, chopping onto his stumps off Shahid, who was USAs most troublesome bowler on the day and finished with 1 for 28.Singh came back for a late spell after going wicketless with the new ball and won three lbw appeals to dismiss Hamza Tariq, and then Siddiqui and Dhindsa off consecutive balls. Canada were reduce to 197 for 9, but USAs inability to polish off the tail for the second time cost them. No. 9 Dilon Heyliger crashed Singhs hat-trick ball for six over long-off to start the 49th, and followed it with a four over midwicket and another towering six over long-off. He finished with a vital 31 off 17 balls that helped add 19 runs for the last wicket which eventually accounted for the winning margin. Mario Gotze Jersey . -- Bobby Ryan helped the U.

Leake combined with Aroldis Chapman on a three-hitter and Todd Frazier hit a tiebreaking home run against Wood in the seventh inning, leading the Reds past the Cubs 2-1 Wednesday for their record 12th straight win at Wrigley Field. Leake (6-3) won for the fourth time in five decisions, allowing only Nate Schierholtzs second-inning home run into the right-field bleachers, his eighth of the season. The Cincinnati starter gave up one run and three hits while striking out six over eight innings. Facing Wood, Leake said, is "fun, definitely, and frustrating at the same time." "You want him to do well and you want yourself to do well," Leake said. "Today we both did really well, so you cant complain." Wood (5-5) gave up two runs and four hits in seven innings, his third loss in four decisions. He fell to 0-3 with a 4.65 ERA in five starts against the Reds, who traded him to the Cubs on Dec. 23, 2011, for reliever Sean Marshall. "Felt good out there today, was locating pretty well and keeping them off balance," Wood said. "Leake was doing the same, he had an outstanding game today." The Reds usually do quite well against the Cubs, especially at Wrigley Field. Cincinnati is 10-2 overall against the Cubs this season and 25-6 dating to Sept. 13, 2011. Leake improved to 6-2 with a 3.24 ERA in 13 career starts against Chicago. The previous record for consecutive wins by a visitor at Wrigley was 10, by the St. Louis Cardinals (1943-44) and matched by the New York Giants (1950-51) and Montreal Expos (1982-83), according to STATS. Cincinnatis Dusty Baker, who managed the Cubs from 2003-06, didnt have an explanation for the streak at Wrigley. "I dont know, man," Baker said. "Just feel fortunate that it happens when it happens." Cesar Izturis got the Reds first hit off Wood with an infield single in the fifth, and Cincinnati tied the score in the sixth when Shin-Soo Choo doubled and scored on Brandon Phillips two-out single. Leake retired 12 consecutive batters before Darwin Barney singled with one out in the eighth. By then, Frazier had hit his eighth homer, sending a 1-0 pitch through a wind and into the left-field bleachers, giving thhe Reds a 2-1 lead.dddddddddddd Frazier has homered in consecutive games since Baker gave him the day off Monday to "study and watch" what was happening. "Just trying to find different release points, trying to pick up pitches," Frazier said he did on his day off. "Its really hard to do, but at the same time it keeps you concentrating on the game the whole time." Chapman struck out two in a perfect ninth for his 17th save in 19 chances to give Cincinnati its third straight win since losing two of three last weekend to first-place St. Louis. "St. Louis is a good team. Theyre a battle every time, so I dont think we really got down because we know theyre a good team, we know theyre going to be tough," Leake said. "We just have to take advantage of games that we need to really work hard. Its definitely good weve gotten three in a row from them." Not much has been going that way for the Cubs. Theyve lost eight of 10 since a five-game winning streak, and fell to a season-worst 13 games below .500. In their last five losses theyve scored a combined seven runs. "Its a broken record," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "Woodys just pitched another great game and has nothing to show for it." Unfortunately for the Cubs, thats usually how it goes for them against the Reds at Wrigley. "Were just having fun. Thats the only thing I can say," Frazier said. "Were relaxed when we play here. We like playing here. Who doesnt like playing here?" NOTES: Chicagos Starlin Castro went 0 for 3 and is in a 4-for-48 slide (.083). He hit in the No. 6 slot for only the second time in his career. ... Choo, normally the Reds leadoff hitter, was second in the batting order while Derrick Robinson was first. Choo entered 0 for 6 with four strikeouts against Wood. ... The Cubs placed RHP Zach Putnam on the 15-day DL and recalled LHP Brooks Raley from Triple-A Iowa. ... When asked if LHP Tony Cingrani would stay in the Cincinnati rotation, Baker said "Whos spot is he going to take?" Cingrani gave up two earned runs in seven innings Tuesday, but the Reds hope Johnny Cueto will be able to return Sunday against Milwaukee. ... Alfonso Soriano pinch hit and had a game-ending groundout. ... Thursdays pitching matchup is Cincinnatis Mat Latos (6-0, 2.87) against the Cubs Jeff Samardzija (3-7, 3.18). ' ' '
