• HAMBURG, Germany -- Gilles Simon became the first Frenchman in 25 years to win the German Open, beating Nicolas Almagro of Spain 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 on Sunday for his second title of the year. The fifth-seeded Simon broke serve for a 4-2 lead and then saved two break points to serve out the first set. Almagro squandered a 3-0 lead in the second but broke serve again to level the match. Simon broke serve early for a 2-0 lead in the third and hung on to clinch the title. The last Frenchman to win in Hamburg was Henri Leconte. The third-seeded Almagro was looking for his fourth title of the year. <a href="http://www.wholesalenikeelitemall.com/">nike nfl jerseys wholesale</a>. And Homer Bailey might be right behind him.

That goes for his status and the state of the Brewers offence. Carlos Gonzalez homered and drove in three runs to lift the Colorado Rockies to a 6-2 victory over Milwaukee on Wednesday night. Fielder, a free agent in the off-season and represented by Scott Boras, said before the game in an interview to air with TBS this weekend that this is "probably" his last season with the Brewers. "Its the same thing Ive been saying," Fielder said. "Thats what you guys said last year. Probably. It is what it is." Milwaukees lead in the NL Central dropped to 5 1/2 games over St. Louis, which beat Pittsburgh 3-2. The Brewers have Thursday off before a six-game road trip against division rivals Cincinnati and Chicago. Milwaukee has cooled off since building a 10 1/2-game lead in the division, losing six of the last eight games while St. Louis has won seven of the last eight. "Weve hit a little bump right now," Fielder said. "Were still ahead. I dont see the need for worry quite yet." The Brewers remain in an offensive funk, scoring 16 times and batting .202 over their eight-game slump. Milwaukee is seeking its first title since winning the AL East in 1982. "We didnt play well the last couple games. We were fortunate to win a game yesterday. Theres always a concern when youre trying to get on a roll, trying to get those good at-bats going again," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "Well get out of it and start playing good ball again." Its become an increasingly bumpy ride for the Brewers after the team had no off-the-field issues before Nyjer Morgans antics drew the ire of the Cardinals just over a week ago. Then, reliever Francisco Rodriguez revealed Tuesday for the first time he was unhappy in the setup role before Fielders comments came Wednesday. Fielder said the focus remains on winning and reaching the post-season. "Weve just got to come out and win," Fielder said. "Weve still got a lead, hopefully we just turn it around, but like I said, everybodys giving 100 per cent, thats all you can ask for." Catcher Jonathan Lucroy thinks the Brewers may be pressing. "I know Im pressing a little bit, myself. Sometimes you just try to do too much, get a littlle frustrated instead of relaxing and playing and you just end up hurting yourself," he said.dddddddddddd Kevin Millwood scattered two runs over six innings for the Rockies. Corey Hart tripled and scored on Morgans groundout to start the game, but that was Milwaukees only hit off Millwood until Yuniesky Betancourts single in the fifth. Colorado answered with three runs with two out off Brewers starter Shaun Marcum (12-7) in the third. Mark Ellis singled in a run before Gonzalezs homer deep to right-centre field made it 3-1. Wilin Rosario added a solo shot -- the second homer of his career -- in the fourth. The Rockies made it 6-1 in the fifth on Gonzalezs sacrifice fly and a fielding error by second baseman Rickie Weeks that allowed Ellis to score. The sloppy play drew boos from the crowd because Ellis had stopped at third on Jason Giambis double before Weeks failed to cleanly catch Harts throw from right field. The 36-year-old Millwood (3-2) has found a role in Colorado after bouncing around the minors with the Yankees and Red Sox organizations this season. He allowed four hits and two walks over six innings in his fourth quality start since signing with the Rockies on Aug. 10. "I cant say enough about the job that Kevin Millwood has done since hes arrived with us," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "Hes competed extremely well. Hes pitched very competitive innings. He knows what to do with a lead." NOTES: Weeks left for a pinch runner in the sixth. Hes left early in each of the last three games as the team has limited his innings after he severely sprained his left ankle on July 27. ...
