| Rivera brings career full circle with one pitch Saturday, Mar 15, 2014 07:56 PM PDT  By Steve Keating PANAMA CITY, Panama (Reuters) - Major League Baseball and the New York Yankees returned to Panama for the first time in 67 years on Saturday, offering one final goodbye to Mariano Rivera and bringing the career of the game's greatest closer full circle. Back where it all began, Rivera, who retired at the end of last season with a record 652 career saves, threw a ceremonial pitch to launch a two-day tribute for the man fans know simply as "Mo". The Yankees are playing two spring training games against the Miami Marlins this weekend. Appearing from the outfield darkness on Saturday, Rivera walked to the mound as he had done 952 times as baseball's most feared closer, with Metallica's 'Sandman' thumping over the loud speakers and the capacity crowd on their feet cheering.

Garrigus made a blazing start with three early birdies and opened up a four-stroke cushion at the turn at the Copperhead course in Palm Harbor. Australian John Senden, a two-time runner-up at Innisbrook, compiled a brilliant bogey-free 64 to vault within two strokes of the lead, while Englishman Justin Rose (69) bogeyed the last and trails by three.

| Honda aims to win fuel efficiency race in return to F-1 Saturday, Mar 15, 2014 05:31 PM PDT  By Norihiko Shirouzu and Yoko Kubota SUZUKA, Japan (Reuters) - After a seven-year hiatus, Honda Motor Co. is returning to the F-1 circuits next year, resolving to win more races - and learn how to build "greener" cars. Honda is particularly aiming to turn exhaust gas that is mostly wasted in F-1 or conventional cars into energy. It is technology that Honda's F-1 chief, Yasuhisa Arai, says could give Honda an edge with its mass-market cars. Cynics aren't buying the argument that Honda wants to use the F-1 as a technology incubator. Full Story | Top |
| Ronaldo winner for Real, Costa delights Atletico Saturday, Mar 15, 2014 05:12 PM PDT  Cristiano Ronaldo struck midway through the first half as leaders Real Madrid won 1-0 at Malaga in La Liga on Saturday, while Atletico Madrid stayed hot on their heels after Diego Costa netted in a 1-0 victory over Espanyol. Costa, continuing a rich vein of form that has seen him bag 22 goals in the league and become a Spain international, outsprinted the defense before beating keeper Kiko Casilla in the 55th minute. "Espanyol played very well and made it very difficult for us but we were strong and knew how to cope," Costa told reporters. "We will keep going game by game and playing as we always do." Ronaldo is top scorer in La Liga and notched his 25th league goal of the campaign with a clinical finish from the edge of the area to see off Malaga who battled hard but lacked a cutting edge.
