COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A pro-American crowd of 24,650 chanted Dos a cero! at the start.Mexican supporters yelled Dos a uno! as they left.Rafa Marquez scored a tiebreaking goal on a header in the 89th minute, giving Mexico a 2-1 victory Friday night and its first victory at the United States in World Cup qualifying since 1972.After winning four straight home qualifiers against Mexico by 2-0 scores -- all in Columbus -- the U.S. hoped to open the final round of the North and Central American and Caribbean region with another victory. Instead, the Americans began the hexagonal with a loss for the second straight cycle, and they play Tuesday night at Costa Rica, where they have never won in qualifying.It gets a sense of anger in us. It gets a sense of absolutely urgency, U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. Its not a problem, but its obviously disappointing.Miguel Layun put Mexico ahead in the 20th minute, but Bobby Wood tied it in the 49th.The U.S. dominated the second half before the 37-year-old Marquez, unmarked and drifting across the penalty area at the near post, got a glancing nod on Layuns corner kick. The Mexican captain lifted the ball over goalkeeper Brad Guzan for his 17th international goal.Mexicos previous win at the U.S. in qualifying was also by a 2-1 score, at the Los Angeles Coliseum.I think we deserved this match, Layun said. We were focused.Klinsmann said John Brooks was supposed to mark Marquez on the corner kick. Jozy Altidore blocked the defender from getting there.We lost him there. Individual mistake, Klinsmann said.The Americans had been 30-0-2 at home in qualifying since a 3-2 loss to Honduras at Washingtons RFK Stadium in September 2001.Theyre very good in terms of when they have a little time circulating the ball, and they start to find space, American captain Michael Bradley said.Guzan had lost the U.S. goalkeeper job to Tim Howard, who started at the last two World Cups. But Howard pulled a muscle in his right leg on a goal kick and was replaced in the 40th minute.Howard was to have a scan Saturday, a day before the U.S. travels, and Klinsmann said Howard likely will miss the match at Costa Rica.He knows its not looking that good, Klinsmann said.The top three teams in the six-nation round qualify for the World Cup, and the fourth-place country advances to a playoff.With the U.S. struggling early in what Klinsmann called a 3-4-3 formation, Mexico could have led 3-0. Howard tipped Jesus Coronas 10th-minute shot off a post and Carlos Velas 25th-minute header hit a crossbar.Out midfielders didnt get into the one-on-one battles we expected them to, Klinsmann said, citing Jermaine Jones and Bradley.After switching to a more familiar 4-4-2 in the 27th minute, the Americans began to find their rhythm, and Wood scored off a pass from Altidore.It was 44 degrees at game time, half the 90-degree temperature for the 2013 match in Columbus, when the U.S. clinched its seventh straight World Cup berth.Mexico went ahead after Bradley and Giovani dos Santos battled for the ball 30 yards out. The ball skipped to Layun, who took a touch, and his right-footed shot deflected off Timmy Chandler past Howards left for his fourth international goal in 46 appearances,Wood tied the score after Brooks forced a turnover. Altidore turned his defender and passed to Wood, who took two touches as he split defenders. His 8-yard, left-footed shot deflected off a leg of Layun for his eighth goal in 28 international appearances. Wood also scored against Mexico last fall during an extra-time loss in the playoff for a berth in the 2017 Confederations Cup.Altidore and Wood have combined for seven goals in 11 games theyve started together.Game notes All three visiting teams had victories in their openers. Costa Rica won 2-0 at Trinidad and Tobago on goals by Christian Bolanos in the 65th and Ronald Matarrita in second-half injury time, and Panama won 1-0 at Honduras on Fidel Escobars 22nd-minute goal. ...

CLEVELAND -- Manager Joe Girardi of the New York Yankees probably wont have closer Aroldis Chapman available on Sunday, but thats fine with Girardi, because Chapman was instrumental in the Yankees 7-6 win over the Cleveland Indians in 11 innings on Saturday.Chapman pitched a career-high 2 1/3 innings.We had to use our pen hard today, but weve got time off coming (during the All-Star break), so I was willing to do it, Girardi said.So in Sundays final game of the four-game series between the Indians and Yankees, the Yankees may be working without a safety net as it were, if Chapman isnt available.But the Yankees will certainly have the momentum going into the game. They have won two of the first three games of the series against the AL Central-leading Indians, and Sundays win was a momentum builder because the Yankees were down and came back to take the lead a couple of times.It was a good win and we had a lot of big two-out rallies, Girardi said.On Sunday, the Yankees will send Masahiro Tanaka (6-2, 3.12) to the mound. Cleveland will counter with Carlos Carrasco (5-2, 2.47).It will be the final game before the break for both teams. For the Yankees it will be the end of a long 10-game trip to San Diego, Chicago and Cleveland.The Yankees are 4-5 on the trip, so a win Sunday would give them a .500 trip to take into the break.The Indians are concluding a seven-game homestand against the Tigers and Yankees. Cleveland is 3--3 in the first six games of the homestand.dddddddddddd.Tanaka will be making his third career start vs. the Indians. In his first two he was 0-2 with a 5.68 ERA. Carrasco has made six career starts against the Yankees. He is 3-2 with a 4.19 ERA in those games. In two starts against New York last year he was 1-0 with a 1.84 ERA.Indians manager Terry Francona make no secret about the fact that he and his team are looking forward to the four-day All-Star break.The break is coming at a really good time for us, Francona said. Weve been playing a lot of baseball lately. Our guys can see (the break) coming, but I always tell them you dont coast into the break, you go 99 miles per hour, and then stop.The Indians will go into Sundays game with a bullpen that might be a little short.Starter Danny Salazar only pitched five-plus innings in Saturdays loss. The Indians used six relievers, so they will need Carrasco to give them a quality start and pitch deep into the game.The Yankees bullpen should be a little fresher Sunday. They used three relievers in Saturdays game, but one of them was Chapman.No player on either side will be looking forward to the break more than Indians catcher Yan Gomes, who was 0-for-5 on Saturday. Gomes is hitless in his last 18 at-bats and is hitting .038 (1-for-26) in July. ' ' '
