er.The Austrian GP returned to the schedule in 2014, is heame

SAN FRANCISCO -- Yoenis Cespedes doesnt feel his timing is all back after a stint on the disabled list.But its hard to imagine its off that much, either.Cespedes hit two long home runs and added an RBI double in his second game back from the disabled list, boosting Bartolo Colon and the New York Mets over the San Francisco Giants 9-5 Saturday.The Mets had lost five of six before topping the team that began the day leading the NL West. The Giants dropped to 11-22 since the All-Star break.Cespedes, whod been out since Aug. 4 with a strained right quadriceps, drove in three runs. He has 24 homers this season.It was his show today, Mets second baseman Neil Walker said. He had a great day.The sluggers shot off Matt Moore (7-10) in the third inning went 457 feet, according to Statcast.com.Cespedes added a 418-footer off reliever Jake Peavy in the seventh.Today was a good day, I think for any ballplayer you could say today was an excellent day, Cespedes said through a translator. I cant say that the timing is 100 percent back, though. Well see what goes on next.The Mets are hoping that whats next for Cespedes is another second-half power surge, like the one he had last season that took them to the World Series.Hes the guy in the lineup who does a lot of the damage, so when hes there it makes it a little easier on the guys behind him and it takes the pressure off, Mets manager Terry Collins said. They kind of feed off what he does.Alejandro De Aza hit a three-run homer during a four-run sixth that stretched the Mets lead to 7-2.Colon (11-7) allowed two runs, scattering nine hits and a walk in 6 1/3 innings. He has three quality starts in four outings this month and a 2.25 ERA in August.I think everything worked out well, Colon said through a translator. I was throwing a lot of sinkers, the ball out here moves a lot for me.Colons pitches hit the strike zone with pinpoint accuracy. On a day when the Mets needed the 43-year-old right-hander to go deep into the game with a bullpen taxed, he threw 103 pitches -- 73 for strikes.Hes not worried about lighting up the radar, hes worried about missing barrels, Walker said. It makes it difficult as a hitter when you have to cover a lot of the plate and thats what he does.Moore, acquired at the trading deadline from Tampa Bay to bolster the back end of the Giants rotation, is 0-3 with a 4.70 ERA in four starts with his new team.Moore gave up three earned runs and five hits in five innings. It was the first time in 13 outings he pitched less than six innings going back to June 2.Im not getting ahead of the hitters and then Im losing them, he said. I didnt do a very good job of managing the game with the 90 pitches they gave (me).Denard Span hit a splash home run off Colon into the San Francisco Bay in the third. The home run was Spans seventh and his second splash hit this season.Angel Pagan extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a bunt single in the first. The Giants outfielder exited after three innings with tightness in his right groin.BABY WATCHMets second baseman Neil Walker will fly to his home in Pittsburgh after Sunday nights game to be with his wife Niki for the expected birth of their baby girl. Walker said doctors will induce the birth on Monday night, a Mets off day. Walker said his wife is doing well. Its just been a big waiting game, Walker said. I knew as soon as she got pregnant that wed probably be out here on the West Coast, whether it was here or Arizona or St. Louis, we knew that was going to be challenging.LINED UPThe Giants have set their rotation ahead of their pivotal three-game series at Dodger Stadium next week, with the trio of Madison Bumgarner, Johnny Cueto and Moore set to start the Aug. 23-25 series, manager Bruce Bochy said.TRAINERS ROOMMets: RHP Jim Henderson was activated from the disabled list on Saturday.

SPIELBERG, Austria -- Having won two years in a row in the verdant Austrian hills, and coming off a victory in the maiden Formula One street race in Azerbaijan, Nico Rosberg is naturally confident about the Austrian Grand Prix this weekend.Rosberg has increased his championship lead over Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton again after the win in Baku, and could join Alain Prost as a three-time Austria winner.To have two wins from two races at any track is pretty special, so if I could make it three in three that would be awesome, Rosberg said.That was a good weekend for me, he said of the race in Baku. I really felt at one with the car, so thats a big positive looking ahead to the next races. Austria has been a real strength for us as a team in the past two years.Our Silver Arrow is still definitely the best package on the grid, and I cant wait to see what it can do in Spielberg.Another win would leave defending champion Hamilton with a huge deficit. Rosberg already leads by 24 points, and another 25 points for the victory in Austria would send Rosberg closer to his first title, considering the supremacy the Mercedes cars have enjoyed in the last few seasons.Hamilton, who finished behind Rosberg in the two previous Austrian races, was fifth in Baku, after crashing in qualifying and experiencing engine problems.Ive put it behind, Hamilton said.Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says the team has to get rid of small mistakes that have cost points here and there.ddddddddddddForce India has been very strong recently, Williams are always quick in Spielberg and, of course, there is the constant threat from Ferrari and Red Bull, particularly at a home race for the latter.The Austrian GP returned to the schedule in 2014, is held on the Red Bull Ring, and is a home race for the team of the same name. But the relatively short course of only nine curves hasnt yet been a successful track for Red Bull. Its best result was eighth in 2014 and 10th in 2015.Spielberg always has a pretty awesome atmosphere, and the setting is pretty amazing, Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo said. The circuit is quite short but is also fun. I would love a few more corners but it is a fun track for what it is, quite flowing and fast.We havent had the results we would like there in the past but were coming there with our best package yet, so hopefully that can put us up into the top five.Ricciardo has extended his contract with Red Bull until 2018.Teammate Max Verstappen, the surprise winner in Barcelona, wasnt too optimistic.Here in Austria, Mercedes cant be beaten, he said.The weather could be a major factor, with thunderstorms and rain predicted for the weekend and Sundays race.
