MUNICH -- Bayern Munich dispelled any doubts about its commitment by ending a three-match winless run with a comfortable 4-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Wednesday.Bayern wobbled briefly after PSV had cut the deficit to 2-1 but quickly restored its dominance to extend its Champions League home record of 14 consecutive wins. PSV lost after a 21-match unbeaten run away from home in all competitions.Thomas Mueller opened the scoring in the 13th, Joshua Kimmich doubled the lead in the 21st, before Luciano Narsingh pulled one back for the visiting team in the 43rd with its first shot at goal.Robert Lewandowski scored in the 59th, just as PSV seemed to be making a comeback and Arjen Robben got the insurance in the 84th.Bayern now has six points in Group D, while Atletico Madrid, which won 1-0 in Rostov, has nine. PSV and FC Rostov are both one point each.The win puts Bayern back on course for a place in the last 16 following its defeat at Madrid. After that loss, Bayern drew its next two Bundesliga matches, leading club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge to question the players attitude.Carlo Ancelottis team quickly seized control and nearly monopolized possession in the first half. But Bayerns defense showed some weaknesses when PSV stepped up the pace after its goal.We played with high intensity from the start, Ancelotti said. It was a good reaction, although we had some problems at the end of the first half and at the start of the second. But we took the match very seriously and professionally.With critics saying he had given his players too much freedom, Ancelotti took them to a hotel the night before the match for the first time before a home game.Mueller opened the scoring after Robbens quickly taken corner, before PSVs defense had the time to settle. Robben played the ball to Mueller at the near post, his first attempt was stopped by Jeroen Zoet, but Mueller got the rebound, moved the ball to his left foot and fired into the roof of the net.Kimmich doubled the lead after another run down the left by David Alaba. His cross was deflected by Joshua Brenet and Kimmich at far post headed from close range for his seventh goal of the season and third in the Champions League.Earlier, another cross from Alaba hit Hector Moreno and bounced off the post.PSV got back into the match briefly after its counterattacking goal. Gaston Pereiro sent a through ball for Narsingh, who unleashed a fierce shot. Manuel Neuer got his finger tips on the ball but could not prevent it from bouncing inside of the far post into the net.Lewandowski shot wide after good pass from Thiago Alcantara at the start of the second half and Luuk de Jong went close for PSV with a header.Pereiro then had a volley shot saved by Neuer, while Zoet foiled Kimmich.Bayern ended PSVs hopes when Lewandowski made it 3-1. Robben shook off two players, cut inside from the right and shot on target. Zoet could only parry the shot and Lewandowski pounced to head in. Lewandowski has 15 goals in his last 14 games for club and country.Mueller then shot straight at Zoet, who also stopped an effort by Robben.De Jong tussled with Mats Hummels in the 69th but did not get a penalty call.

MINNEAPOLIS -- David Ortiz insists he isnt trying to do anything special to show the Minnesota Twins they made a big mistake by letting him go in 2002. It just looks that way every time he crushes another ball into the Target Field seats. Ortiz homered twice and drove in six runs to torment his former team once again, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 12-5 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night. "It used to be," Ortiz said when asked if there was extra motivation when he played the Twins. "Not anymore. I just go about my business. I try to hit the moon every time I go to hit anywhere. Its not new." Dustin Pedroia had two hits, two walks and an RBI, extending his hitting streak to 10 games. Daniel Nava also went deep for the Red Sox, who have won four straight following a slide in which they had lost 10 of 14. Scott Diamond (3-4) gave up six runs on eight hits and walked three in 4 1-3 innings for the Twins, who have lost four in a row to fall into last place in the AL Central. Pedro Florimon had two hits and two RBIs and Joe Mauer extended his hitting streak to 15 games with two hits. Craig Breslow (1-0) pitched 1 2-3 innings of scoreless relief for the win. Ortiz also had a single and a walk, raising his batting average to .362 in a game that lasted 3 hours, 53 minutes. "His performance is as good as youre going to find in the league right now," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. Twins general manager Terry Ryan has long been one of the most respected executives in the game. But one of his biggest mistakes came in 2002 when he released Ortiz, who had just appeared to start putting things together in his sixth big league season. The move is still haunting Ryan and the Twins 11 years later. Ortiz signed with the Red Sox, and promptly blossomed into one of the most feared hitters in the American League, a central figure in Bostons two World Series championships and the kind of slugger the Twins have been searching for ever since. He wears No. 34 in honour of the late Kirby Puckett and seems to take particular delight in hammering his former team. Ortiz is 19 for 37 with five homers and 16 RBIs at Target Field. "The one guy we say dont let beat us is David Ortiz," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.dddddddddddd "Theyve got a lot of really good hitters over there, but we told them to stay away from this guy, dont give in to him. And he keeps sending souvenirs." Diamond laboured from the start, falling behind 3-0 after 19 pitches. Ortiz jumped on a flat slider and drove it into the seats in right-centre field for his sixth homer of the season. Red Sox starter Ryan Dempster wasnt much better. He walked four hitters in the second and third innings to load the bases in both frames, but the right-hander got Mauer to chase a breaking ball down and away to escape in the second and then got Aaron Hicks to fly out to deep right field to end the third. Dempster needed a staggering 127 pitches to get through just 4 2-3 innings. He gave up five runs on eight hits and walked six. "I just couldnt get consistency with any of my pitches," Dempster said. "I kept missing away with it. I really didnt have any of my pitches tonight." Down 7-5 in the sixth, the Twins loaded the bases again. But Pedroia made a nifty over-the-shoulder catch in shallow right field, then whirled and easily threw out Ryan Doumit at home on a major base-running blunder. Ortiz and Nava busted the game open with two-run homers in the seventh, giving Ortiz his 40th career multi-homer game. "Hes swinging the bat great right now," Pedroia said. "Everything he hits is hard. He looks great up there." NOTES: The Red Sox played without OFs Shane Victorino and Stephen Drew because of back injuries. Farrell said both were hopeful of playing on Sunday. ... Mauer returned to the lineup after missing Friday night with a stiff back. ... Diamond and Dempster were facing each other for the second time this season, becoming the first pair of Canadian starters to meet more than once in a season since at least 1920, according to the Red Sox. ... The Twins will send LHP Pedro Hernandez (2-0, 5.79) to the mound on Sunday for the finale against Boston RHP John Lackey (1-4, 4.05). Lackey is looking to bounce back from a poor start against Tampa Bay, when he gave up five runs in 4 1-3 innings. ' ' '
