ARLINGTON, Texas -- Good thing for the AL West-leading Texas Rangers that they wont have to face Kevin Correia any more down the stretch. They cant beat the Minnesota Twins right-hander. Correia pitched seven strong innings Sunday as the Twins won 4-2 to clinch their first series victory at Texas in four years. "He mixed it up well," said Mitch Moreland, whose 21st homer leading off the third was the only run off Correia. "Used both sides of the plate, kept us off balance, and we didnt really create a whole lot of opportunities." After throwing eight scoreless innings in a home victory over the Rangers in April, Correia (9-10) scattered five hits on a steamy day in Texas. He got 14 outs on the ground, including a pair of double plays. Correia has won all three of his career starts against the Rangers, with an ERA of 1.61. In a brief stay at home, the Rangers lost two of three while scoring exactly two runs in all three games. Texas plays its next six games on the West Coast, starting Monday with the opener of an important three-game series in Oakland. Even though the Rangers finished August with an AL-best 20-7 record, they lost their September opener and have only a one-game division lead over the As. Oakland wrapped up a three-game sweep against Tampa Bay with a 5-1 victory Sunday. "Were not looking for help from anybody. We played these three games against the Minnesota Twins with the intention on winning," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "Im not concerned with what Oakland is doing right now. Well face Oakland on Monday when we get there, and well play it and when we finish, well leave." A.J. Pierzynski also homered for the Rangers in the finale against the Twins, with a pinch-hit shot in the eighth. Texas starter Travis Blackley (2-2) was gone after giving up three consecutive run-scoring hits with one out in the fifth. Josmil Pinto, the catcher making his major league debut a day after being called up from Triple-A Rochester, had an RBI double before Doug Berniers ground-rule double, a ball that bounced just fair down the right-field line and then went into the seats. Alex Presley, acquired from Pittsburgh when the Twins traded Justin Morneau on Saturday, followed with an RBI single that made it 3-1. Glen Perkins, the second Twins reliever, pitched a perfect ninth with two strikeouts for his 32nd save in 35 chances. He saved both Minnesota wins in the series. The Twins didnt let Correia go back out for the eighth because he was cramping in his ribs on a day when the temperature was 99 degrees at first pitch and rose to triple digits. "I could have gone back out, but the coaches wouldnt let me," Correia said. "You cant say anything if you want to go back out there." Neftali Feliz pitched 1 2-3 scoreless innings with two strikeouts in his first appearance for the Rangers since sustaining a torn elbow ligament in May 2012 that required Tommy John surgery. Feliz was the closer for the Rangers during consecutive World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011 before moving into the rotation and going 3-1 in seven starts last year. He is returning as a reliever. "He threw all his pitches. He looked comfortable," Washington said. "All we can do is build off it." Feliz got a nice ovation when he ran from the bullpen to the mound and then got two outs while facing one batter. Presley was thrown out trying to steal before Darin Mastroianni took a called third strike. Mastroianni was thrown out trying to score in the first inning after a deke by second baseman Ian Kinsler when Brian Dozier doubled. Running toward second, Mastroianni slid into the bag when Kinsler acted as he was turning a double play. But the ball was in left-centre field. Mastroianni got up and started running again, but couldnt beat Kinslers relay throw from centre fielder Leonys Martin to catcher Geovany Soto, who blocked the plate from the sliding runner. It was Martins 12th outfield assist this season, the most for a Texas player since Ruben Sierras 15 in 1991. NOTES: Rangers SS Elvis Andrus was feeling better but didnt play a day after coming out of Saturday nights game with tightness in his lower back. Washington said he likely wouldnt play Andrus on Monday. ... Jim Adduci, among seven players added to the Rangers roster on Sunday, made his major league debut after 10 minor league seasons in three organizations. He started in left field and singled in his first big league at-bat. ... The Twins added only Presley on the first day rosters could expand. Their top farm team is still in playoff contention. ... Left-hander Derek Holland (9-6, 3.00 ERA) starts the series against the As, who are scheduled to throw righty Dan Straily (7-7, 4.41). Jonathan Lucroy Angels Jersey .

UEFA said the judging panel of its club finance monitoring body was told in April "of the existence of overdue payables as a result of a complaint."

League runner-up Partizan, Red Stars city rival, stands to get the Champions League berth. Serbias football association also faces UEFA sanctions for granting Red Star its license. "An investigation against the Football Association of Serbia (FSS) might be opened within the coming days by the chief investigator for alleged breaches of the club licensing regulations," UEFA said. All clubs must prove their financial integrity to a national association before being formally approved to represent their country in the Champions League or Europa League. UEFAs licensing system pre-dates the FFP rules but has been given a higher profile as a weapon to curb clubs who overspend and avoid paying debts. ' ' '
