BERLIN - Arjen Robbens late penalty gave Bayern Munich a hard-fought 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund to leave the visitors in the Bundesligas relegation zone on Saturday.Robben converted from the spot in the 85th minute, completing Bayerns comeback 13 minutes after Robert Lewandowski scored the equalizer against his former side.Marco Reus gave Dortmund a 31st-minute lead with a header from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyangs deep cross.Of course were very happy. We played superbly in the second half. A huge compliment to the team, Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said.Bayern, the defending champion, consolidated first place after maintaining its unbeaten start to the season, while Juergen Klopps Dortmund is in the relegation playoff place after its fifth defeat in a row.The defeat hurts. We didnt have to lose here, Klopp said.Dortmund, the 2011 and 2012 champion, has made its worst start to a season after losing seven of the opening 10 games.Earlier, Rafael van der Vaarts first-half penalty earned Hamburger SV a bad-tempered 1-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen to move out of the relegation zone.The Dutchman converted in the 26th minute, after Omer Toprak was penalized for a push on Marcell Jansen in the area.Karim Bellarabi came agonizingly close to equalizing deep in injury time when he struck the right post after surging through the Hamburg defence.Six Hamburg and three Leverkusen players were booked in a hard-fought game punctuated by strong tackles and rising tempers. Both coaches had to be restrained as players, substitutes and coaching staff became embroiled at the end of the first half.I never experienced such an intensive and aggressive 45 minutes, Hamburg defender Heiko Westermann said. The grass was on fire.Hamburg moved two points above Dortmund, which is level on seven points with Werder Bremen, which won 2-1 at Mainz in Viktor Skripniks first league game as coach.His predecessor, Robin Dutt, was sacked with the side bottom last Saturday after failing to win any of its opening nine games.Im thrilled for my guys, said Skripnik, who won the double as a player with Bremen in 2004.Also Saturday, Wolfsburg moved provisionally second with a 4-0 rout at Stuttgart, and Hannover beat Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 thanks to the unfortunate Alexander Madlungs own goal in the 88th minute.The late game got off to a frenetic start, with both Bayern and Dortmund creating chances.Robben brought a good stop from Dortmund keeper Roman Weidenfeller, before Henrikh Mkhitaryan hit the post after a fine run at the other end.Reus, who is reportedly a transfer target for Bayern, opened the scoring after Thomas Mueller, Robben and Mehdi Benatia all went close for the home side.Aubameyang played a one-two with Shinji Kagawa, burst through on the right and whipped the ball in over Jerome Boateng for the incoming Reus, who held off Benatia to head inside the left post.Bayern responded with a spell of incessant pressure only to find Weidenfeller in inspired form.Dortmund defender Mats Hummels went off at halftime with a foot injury to be replaced by Neven Subotic, and Franck Ribery proved the difference after coming on with 20 minutes remaining.If the fans are calling his name I have to bring him on, joked Bayern coach Pep Guardiola. He helped us a lot.Riberys attempted pass for Robben was cleared by Subotic, but only as far as Lewandowski, who fired first time inside the right post.Dortmund are still a great team. Theyll come back. I know that at the end of the season theyll be in the Champions League places, said Lewandowski, who joined Bayern in the off-season.Ribery blocked another attempted clearance from Subotic, who attempted to make up for his mistake by pulling the Frenchman back. Ribery fell in the tussle and Robben stepped up to claim what was a deserved winner.It was a good first half, clearly a less good second half. In the end we couldnt hold off the pressure, Klopp said.

It should be a blast. Here are my predictions, but based upon my lousy prognostications during the NCAA Tournament, you might be better off going the other way on some of mine - particularly with the Raptors, who I hope and pray are able to win an incredibly difficult match-up.SAN FRANCISCO -- Brandon Barnes isnt a classic power hitter. In fact, neither of the Colorado right fielders two home runs this season even left the park. They did help the Rockies to victories, however, and for that Barnes isnt making any apologies. Barnes hit a two-run, inside-the-park home run in the ninth inning and Colorado rallied for the second straight day to stun the San Francisco Giants 5-4 on Saturday. "Id really like to hit one out so I can jog around the bases to make it easier," said Barnes, who hit his first inside-the-park home run against Arizona on June 5. "I always seem to make it hard on myself. I hit the ball and Im going to run hard until something stops me." Charlie Blackmon singled with two outs off Giants closer Sergio Romo (3-3) before Barnes lined a hit to centre field. San Franciscos Angel Pagan misplayed the ball and it skipped to the fence as Blackmon and Barnes raced around the bases. Barnes, who had a walkoff triple to beat the Dodgers on June 7, had flown out to centre in three consecutive at-bats before helping Colorado extend its winning streak to four games. "My father made the trip up from Anaheim for Fathers day tomorrow and my step-mom and sister were here," Barnes said. "Its special to play in front of them, especially like a day like today." Its the second consecutive blown save and fourth this season for Romo, who gave up five runs in the ninth inning of Fridays 7-4 loss to Colorado. "I dont feel like I could have done much more there," Romo said. "I had two outs, one pitch away again ... and they found a way to stay alive. They got me again. What can I do?" Buster Poseys sacrifice fly in the seventh inning had given the Giants a 4-3 lead. Posey also doubled and homered to finish with a season-high three RBIs -- the most by San Franciscos two-time All-Star in more than 11 months. Hunter Pence hit his ninth home run of the year while Gregor Blanco had three hits for San Francisco. It wasnt enough to prevent the Giants fifth loss in six games. Barnes is the fourth opposing player to hit an inside-the-park home run at AT&T Park. Rex Brothers (3-4) pitched one inning for the win and became the 76th pitcher in history to strike out the side on nine pitches. LaTroy Hawkins worked the ninth for his 13th save, although he had to wait to celebrate. Angel Pagan appeared to ground into a game-ending double play and seveeral Rockies players came out of the dugout to celebrate.ddddddddddddSan Francisco manager Bruce Bochy, who successfully overturned a call earlier in the game, again challenged the ruling. After a brief review, the umpires upheld the original call. "There was talk about the games here and how crazy they are," Colorado manager Walt Weiss said. "It usually comes down to millimeters and milliseconds. Barnes has a tendency to be in the middle of things. Hes been a real clutch player for us." The Giants went into the game with the best record in the majors but were staggering on the heels of four losses in five games. They trailed late in this one, too, before Posey tied it with a two-run homer in the fifth then drove in Pagan with the go-ahead run in the seventh. San Franciscos bullpen couldnt make it hold up. Jean Machi pitched out of a two-on, two-out jam in the eighth before Romo took over in the ninth. The Rockies scored twice off Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong in the second then took a 3-1 lead in the third following back-to-back doubles from Morneau and Josh Rutledge. It could have been worse for Vogelsong, who needed instant replay to get out of a two-out jam in first after Rutledge appeared to leg out an infield single and load the bases. Bochy successfully challenged the call and Rutledge was ruled out to end the inning. Poseys two-run homer off Christian Bergman in the fifth tied it. Bergman lasted six innings in his second major league start. The Rockies rookie allowed eight hits, struck out three and didnt walk a batter. Pence homered off Bergman in the first. NOTES: Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was not in the starting lineup after injuring a toe running to first base on an infield single during the ninth inning of Fridays 7-4 win. Tulowitzki pinch-hit in the ninth and flew out to centre. ... The Rockies also rested C Wilin Rosario after he fouled a ball that ricocheted off the ground and hit him in the face. ... Giants reliever Santiago Casilla (hamstring) could be activated from the disabled list, depending on the outcome of his latest rehab appearance on Saturday. ... LHP Madison Bumgarner (8-4), who pitches the series finale for San Francisco, has a 1.24 ERA over his previous four starts. RHP Juan Nicasio (5-5) takes the mound for Colorado. ... Joe Torre, the executive vice-president of baseball operations for MLB, and California governor Jerry Brown attended the game. ' ' '
