BRUSSELS - Belgium held target practice for a 6-0 victory over tiny Andorra on Friday to give the Group B favourite a confident start to its European Championship qualifying campaign. Mark Fayne Jersey .Kevin De Bruyne and Dries Mertens scored two goals each and Divock Origi and Nacer Chadli added the rest to give the victory a special World Cup flavour since most of the scorers were instrumental in getting Belgium to the quarterfinals in Brazil this summer.Israel also had a successful start, beating Cyprus in Nicosia 2-1. Wales took the group lead by one point over Cyprus, Israel and Belgium after holding Bosnia-Herzegovina to a 0-0 draw in Cardiff in its second game.But with its constant pressure and free-flowing moves, Belgium showed it will be the team to beat in the group.That was fun. A beautiful victory, said De Bruyne after Belgium scored as many goals in one game as during the whole World Cup.The easy victory came without playmaker Eden Hazard, who was protectively kept on the bench with a stubbed toe. Another Chelsea star, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, was on the pitch for the whole game despite suffering a head injury in a collision against Arsenal last weekend. He did not have to make a save.Belgium pushed forward from the start against the tiny Pyrenean nation ranked 203rd in the world, but was frustrated early on when it hit the woodwork three times before De Bruyne opened the score on a penalty in the 31st minute.Belgium ran amok for the next 37 minutes to run up the score to six to the delight to the sellout crowd of 50,000 at the King Baudouin Stadium.It was a packed house, so we had better perform, De Bruyne said.Next up for Belgium is a game in Bosnia next Monday. Its opening game against Israel was postponed last month.Wales was hoping to get past Bosnia on Friday to take command of the group, but needed to rely on a staunch defence to move into a narrow lead. At the other end, a late right-footed drive from Real Madrid star Gareth was well saved by Asmir Begovic.In Nicosia, Omer Damari and Tal Ben Haim gave Israel a strong position by halftime but still struggled toward the end after Konstantinos Makridis got Cyprus back into the game with 23 minutes to go.___Raf Casert can be followed on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/rcasert Ty Rattie Jersey . Although Olivetti, a qualifier, had 13 aces, he failed to force a single break-point chance on Gasquets serve and lost his own three times. Gasquet next plays third-seeded Jerzy Janowicz of Poland, who won had 18 aces in a 6-2, 6-4 win against seventh-seeded Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France. Jussi Jokinen Jersey .Y. -- When the New York Islanders lead was cut in half in the opening minute of the third period, the sense of impending doom began wafting through Nassau Coliseum. http://www.hockeyoilersshop.com/grant-fuhr-jersey/ . Or, for that matter, the aged.MINNEAPOLIS - The rain dripped off the brim of his cap as Phil Hughes walked off the mound.An hour-plus delay meant the last start of his first season for Minnesota was over. That half-million-dollar bonus stayed one out away. He still earned a nice prize: the major league record for strikeout-to-walk ratio.Hughes struck out five without a walk over eight innings, and the Twins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-1 on Wednesday afternoon.I was very aware of it, yeah, but some things just arent meant to be, said Hughes, who wouldve been paid $500,000 for reaching 210 innings. He finished with 209 2-3, having already triggered a pair of $250,000 bonuses for reaching 180 and 195 innings, on top of his $8 million salary.Manager Ron Gardenhire said Hughes wouldve returned for the ninth on a dry day, but the 66-minute delay ended that. Gardenhire also said he wouldnt try to get Hughes in any of the teams last four games at Detroit. Hughes didnt seem to mind.Finishing that out today is a pretty cool way to do it, he said.Hughes had been aware of his chance at the record, too, for the last few weeks. Every three-ball count created some anxiety.You cant just lay pitches down the middle, he said.Hughes (16-10) finished his first year with the Twins with the same number of wins and walks. With 186 strikeouts, his 11.63 ratio became the best of all time for pitchers with a qualifying amount of innings. Hughes beat Bret Saberhagen, who had 143 strikeouts and 13 walks for the New York Mets in 1994 for an 11.00 ratio.Hughes allowed only a sacrifice fly by David Peralta in the sixth.Everybodys looking from the dugout and trying to keep off that borderline high pitch, but with the way it comes out, hes sneaky, and it makes it hard to do, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said.Jared Burton closed for his third save. Hughes completed at least seven innings over each of his last nine starts, quite the rebound from a rough 2013 season in New York for the Yankees.Hes been our guy all year long that you count on, Gardenhire said. Kris Russell Jersey. Diamondbacks starter Vidal Nuno escaped with only two runs allowed in five innings despite loading the bases in the first two frames. Nuno finished 0-7 with a 3.76 ERA in 14 turns for the Diamondbacks since he was acquired July 6 from the New York Yankees in the Brandon McCarthy trade. He went 2-5 with a 5.42 ERA in 17 appearances for the Yankees.Paid attendance was 29,445 for the home finale, though the number of people in the park was probably one-third of that and far less once the rain came. That gave the Twins a season total of 2,250,606 tickets sold, the fewest in five years at Target Field and the lowest number since 2004.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: 2B Aaron Hill didnt play after he dislocated the top of his right pinky finger Monday in an eighth-inning headfirst slide into home.Twins: Mauers bruised right elbow was a little sore, Gardenhire said, from a pitch that hit him Tuesday in the first inning. The manager wanted to keep Mauer fresh for the weekend for an optimal lineup against Detroit with the AL Central race ongoing.I want him playing all those games, Gardenhire said.In the sixth inning, 3B Trevor Plouffe left the game with a broken left forearm. He was struck by A.J. Pollocks knee during an attempted tag as Pollock slid into third base.UP NEXTTwins: Minnesota has four games left against the Tigers, who hold a slim lead over Kansas City, with rookie Trevor May (3-5, 8.39) pitching Thursday at Detroit against Tigers ace Max Scherzer (17-5, 3.19). May had a three-start winning streak snapped last Saturday against Cleveland, giving up seven runs in 4 2-3 innings.Diamondbacks: Arizona has Thursday off before returning home to finish the season against St. Louis, the NL Central leader still seeking to clinch a third straight division title. Trevor Cahill (3-12, 5.55), who is winless in his last six starts with 25 earned runs surrendered in 28 1-3 innings, will start for Arizona against Michael Wacha (5-6, 3.18).
