replaced by Ayestaran after a series of disappointing l

SEATTLE -- Sam Fuld so rarely hits home runs its difficult for the Minnesota centre fielder to tell the difference between a deep fly ball and a shot that might leave the park. Especially in a park known to be unfriendly to hitters like Safeco Field. "I really dont hit enough to know whether its going to be an F-9 or a home run," Fuld said. Fuld barely cleared the wall with his second home run of the season, Phil Hughes pitched into the eighth inning and the Twins beat the Seattle Mariners 2-0 on Tuesday night. A night after Fuld could not pull back Michael Saunders home run, the roles were reversed. Fuld hit a 3-2 pitch from Seattle starter Chris Young (8-5) beyond the wall in right and just out of the reach of Saunders for the solo shot in the fifth inning. It was the first homer for Fuld since April 10. He finished with three hits and two stolen bases. Fuld took a hard tumble after crashing into the wall trying to snag Saunders shot on Monday night. He woke up sore, but showed up to the park early and made sure manager Ron Gardenhire knew he was fine to play. "That home run was big. Getting a run on the board here, we hadnt scored yet up in Seattle to that point," Gardenhire said. "We know coming in here this team pitches very well, that their bullpen is strong so runs are going to be a premium." Hughes rebounded from being knocked around in his previous two starts to shut down the Mariners. Hughes (9-5) gave up eight hits in 7 1-3 innings, struck out eight and didnt walk a batter in silencing Seattles stagnant offence. Hughes had given up a combined 19 hits and 12 earned runs in his past two starts, losses to Texas and the Yankees. But he had a strong history pitching in Seattle, and is 5-0 with a 0.61 ERA in seven career games at Safeco Field. Hughes went to a three-ball count just once and Logan Morrisons double in the fourth was the only extra base hit he allowed. "The last couple times out I felt like I got hurt with a couple of weird plays and tonight I got some good bounces with the double play ball. Sometimes its just the different of a couple of things going right for you and its a different story," Hughes said. "I felt like my fastball command was good tonight and I was able to work from there." Young was nearly equal to Hughes, yet unable to get a third straight victory because Seattle provided no offensive help. Young gave up six hits and struck out six, but lost for the first time since June 11. He was lifted after giving up a walk to Eduardo Escobar and single to Fuld leading off the eighth to put runners at the corners with no outs. Brian Doziers sacrifice fly off reliever Yoervis Medina scored Escobar to give Minnesota a 2-0 lead. "I needed to keep that scoreless tonight, one at most, and give us a chance," Young said. No matter what Young did on the mound, he couldnt help Seattles bats that have gone cold. Seattle has scored six runs in the past five games and is 2 for 36 with runners in scoring position during that stretch. Three times Seattle got runners to second base but they advanced no farther. Seattle tried to rally in the eighth after one out singles by Saunders and James Jones, and Robinson Cano coming to the plate. Hughes was lifted for reliever Casey Fien, who got Cano to ground into a double play to end the threat. "Frustration was setting in more than anything ... and then I had visions in my head of Cano hitting a three-run homer. Ive seen it too many times," Hughes said. "Fortunately (Fien) got him to roll over into a big double play ball there." NOTES: Minnesota is 2-11 in its last 13 road games. ...

Federer snapped at a TV cameraman hovering nearby as he received medical advice after losing a set on Wednesday.For Nadal and Sharapova, the nuisance was coming from the lowly-ranked qualifiers across the net.Valencia assistant coach Phil Neville says he will find out next week if he still has a future at Mestalla. The former Manchester United defender moved to the La Liga club last summer to become then manager Nuno Espirito Santos right-hand man, before the latter was sacked and replaced by Phils brother Gary.However, despite Gary Neville also leaving Los Che less than four months after joining the Spaniards, his younger brother remained to assist interim boss Pako Ayestaran. And after helping to guide Valencia to a 12th-place finish in the table, the Englishman says he is keen to stay in his role next season.We are still in training until Friday and Pakos contract finishes on May 30, but no decision has yet been made by the club, Neville told Sky Sports.After what we have been through this season, the club is taking its time. Phil Neville says he expects to find out if he still has a job as Valencia assistant coach within the next week They have got to find the right man - whether that is Pako or somebody else - but a new manager brings in his own staff, so my position will not be found out for another week.Neville claimed his older brother left Valencia in good shape structuurally after his brief stint at the helm.ddddddddddddThe one-time England international was also realistic enough though to understand why Gary had to be replaced by Ayestaran after a series of disappointing league results.When Gary came he knew a lot about the club anyway, said Neville. Gary Neville (left) took charge of Valencia earlier this season, before being relieved of his duties The results were not good, you cant hide away from that fact, but when you look back - and it has probably taken a month to digest what actually happened - Gary actually left the inside of the club in better shape than when he first came in.It was more professional, he introduced certain things that needed to be done. But the thing with football is its all about results and we just could not get the results that meant he could continue until the end of the season.It was always going to be for the short term, but it was just shorter than the short-term level it was going to be until the end of the season.
