NEW YORK -- American qualifier Taylor Townsend nearly inaugurated the new Grandstand Stadium with an upset.The 20-year-old Townsend split the first two sets with two-time U.S. Open finalist Caroline Wozniacki in front of a near-capacity crowd of 8,000 in the new digs at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.With fans huddled in the shade of the west side awning on a 91-degree day and chanting her name, the 146th-ranked Townsend took a 4-3 lead in the third set with her solid lefty groundstrokes and slice backhands. But Wozniacki won the next three games, breaking Townsend for a 5-4 lead before serving out the 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 match.I could taste it, I was so close, said Townsend, who trains in the heat in Atlanta.Townsend turned around a 3-1 deficit in the first set to the delight of the crowd. Wozniacki took control early in the second set for a 3-0 lead. In the third, Townsend had several ill-advised drop shots, but she won a 29-shot rally for 30-30 and the game when Wozniacki stopped play to challenge a shot she thought was out.But the replay showed Townsends ball was in, and she took a 4-3 lead.It was a confidence-builder, because I know that for someone like her, she just thrives on rallies like that, Townsend said of Wozniacki, who ran the 2014 New York City Marathon. It proves something to me, that I can hang in rallies like that.The heat advisory was in effect, but neither player used the allowed break. Wozniacki went to the ice towel a few times just to stay cool.Wozniacki has slipped to No. 74 in the rankings after missing two months because of an injured ankle. She recently entered the Connecticut Open as a wild card and lost in the first round of a tournament shes won four times.At this point, Im just happy when Im healthy, she said. Thats been my focus this year, to try and get back to healthy and 100 percent body-wise. Its been a struggle, but I feel like Im there now.Wozniacki lives in New York part-time and has the comforts of home during the final major of the year.It just feels so good to be able to stay at home and cook and have chilled nights, she said.Townsend, who has a 34-16 singles record, won her qualifying matches last week to get into the main field at the U.S. Open. She was really happy to play the first match on the new court.I didnt realize how big it was until people started to come in and it started to get a little more packed, Townsend said. People started cheering. I was in awe. Its such a beautiful stadium.While Townsend reached the third round of the French Open in 2014 -- her best finish at a major -- shes content to learn from this experience on a big stage.I cant really beat myself up too much, Townsend said. Moments like these where I have played and left my heart out there -- and I know I could have done things better -- it just drives me more to want to get out on the court and fix it, just try and do better.

Andrew Benintendi Red Sox Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla.SAN FRANCISCO - Juan Uribe had a night to remember. Matt Cain wants to forget this one as soon as possible. Uribe matched his career high with seven RBIs, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers rout the struggling San Francisco Giants 10-2 on Friday. Uribe chased Cain with a bases-clearing triple in the third and hit a two-run homer in the seventh. He also drove in seven runs for the Chicago White Sox in a 17-14 loss to the Montreal Expos on June 19, 2004. "A game like that, you always remember," Uribe said. "I think I was a little lucky too. Im happy to have a game like that but I like winning more. Right now I am feeling good." The Dodgers won for the 11th time in 13 games. Hanley Ramirez had two hits to extend his hitting streak to 16 games, and Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched into the seventh inning in his first win since May 28. "After we got the lead I felt more comfortable," Ryu said. "I changed my delivery a little and the outcome was not too bad. Everything worked out." There was a bit of a downer to the big victory, with centre fielder Matt Kemp departing due to an irritated left shoulder. "I just wish I could stay on the field," Kemp said. "I dont ever want to get used to getting hurt. It could have been worse. I felt something weird in my shoulder that scared me. It hurt worse than running into the wall." Kemp received a cortisone shot and will miss Saturdays game. He will be re-evaluated Sunday. San Francisco also lost its centre fielder when Andres Torres departed with a right calf strain. The Giants have dropped four straight and 12 of 14. Hunter Pence and Tony Abreu each drove in a run for the World Series champions. "Were getting tested," manager Bruce Bochy said. "Hopefully you get stronger when youre tested. You hate to see whats going on. Its a good group. Its not like theyre quitting. Theyre probably trying a little too hard." Cain (5-5) was charged with six runs and eight hits in 2 1-3 innings, matching his career low. The rright-hander was 5-0 in his previous 11 starts against the Dodgers.dddddddddddd "Im not going to watch any part of this one," he said. Ryu (7-3) allowed two runs and four hits over 6 2-3 innings. The left-hander was 0-1 with a 2.70 ERA in his previous five outings. "Juan got a couple of big hits to give us some breathing room," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. Ryu retired 11 straight between Pablo Sandovals double in the third and Brandon Belts double leading off the seventh. He also had an RBI single in the Dodgers six-run third inning. Pence had a run-scoring fielders choice in the first, but Uribe hit a two-run double in the second before Los Angeles broke it open in the third. Ramirez singled in Yasiel Puig and A.J. Ellis drove in Adrian Gonzalez with a base hit in the big inning. Uribes fifth homer gave him the most RBIs in a game for the Dodgers since James Loney drove in nine in 2006. Abreu ended the Giants 0-for-20 streak with runners in scoring position with his seventh-inning single.
