HOCKENHEIM,Germany -- Nico Rosberg nailed his one and only attempt in Q3 in superb style to beat Lewis Hamilton to pole position at the German Grand Prix.After dominating the weekends practice sessions, Rosbergs qualifying appeared to be unravelling early in Q3 when an electronic issue cut his throttle and forced him to return to the pits. However, a quick reset in the pits allowed him to hit back with a 1:14.363 to take pole position in front of his home fans despite having enough fuel in the tank for two attempts. Hamilton improved on his second run but also locked a brake entering the Spitzkehre Hairpin, costing him 0.2s to Rosberg and, ultimately, pole position.Explaining Rosbergs issue to Sky Sports, Mercedes technical chief Paddy Lowe said: He had a couple of problems concurrently on that lap, which caused the engine to cut out, and it lost sync on all the gears. It corresponded also with a warning about his throttle pedal, which was actually not to do with it but I think that gave him a bit of a scare. Nobody likes to lose control of their throttle pedal.So he aborted the lap, which is a bit of a disturbance to your pattern in Q3, which is why I was particularly impressed that he went out there and got the pole time with that sort of disturbance and stress and also with two extra laps of fuel on board. It was giving him two chances so it was a great lap, he did a fantastic job.Although Mercedes locked out the front row, its margin over Red Bull was not as big as expected, with Ricciardo just 0.363s off despite a botched middle sector on his final attempt. Max Verstappen was 0.108s off his teammate in fourth and ahead of the two Ferraris, which failed to break into the 1:14s.Kimi Raikkonen beat Sebastian Vettel for the fourth time this season as the German struggled to get his Ferrari hooked up around his home track. Fellow German Nico Hulkenberg was seventh for Force India, ahead of the Williams of Valtteri Bottas, Sergio Perez in the second Force India and Felipe Massa in the second Williams.Esteban Gutierrez missed out on a place in Q3 by just 0.184s after just beating Jenson Button to 11th by 0.026s. Carlos Sainz qualified 13th but will be investigated after the session for blocking Felipe Massa at the apex of Turn 2 during Q2. Fernando Alonso starts 14th after running wide on the entrance to the stadium section and damaging the floor of his McLaren on the kerbs. He will line up ahead of Romain Grosjean, who was 0.203s off teammate Gutierrez and starts 15th.Jolyon Palmer beat Kevin Magnussen to a place in Q2 by 0.080s with an impressive lap but couldnt improve on his Q3 attempt. Pascal Wehrlein in the Manor was just 0.001s slower than Magnussen after another impressive qualifying run by the Mercedes-contracted rookie. Daniil Kvyat was 0.559s slower than Toro Rosso teammate Sainz and will start 19th on the grid ahead of Rio Haryanato and the two Saubers on the back row of the grid.

NEW YORK -- Three straight one-run games in sweltering heat at Yankee Stadium, and the Baltimore Orioles had nothing to show for it. That is, until Adam Jones stepped to the plate in the ninth inning. Jones hit a two-run homer against Mariano Rivera, and the Orioles beat the Yankees 2-1 on Sunday to end New Yorks longest winning streak of the season at six games. "Its off the greatest closer in the history of the game," Jones said. "Ill always remember it." A healthy Hiroki Kuroda pitched seven innings of three-hit ball for the Yankees, unable to finish off a three-game sweep after Baltimore took all three games from them at Camden Yards last weekend. David Robertson worked a 1-2-3 eighth and the 43-year-old Rivera (1-2) entered looking to reach 30 saves for the 15th time, which would break a tie with Trevor Hoffman for the major league record. With one out, Nick Markakis made a bid for a tying homer but his drive hooked just wide of the right-field foul pole. Markakis then singled sharply to centre for his third hit and Jones, elected to his first All-Star start on Saturday, drove an 0-1 pitch to left for his 16th home run. "I wanted it to be more in. Didnt get in enough," Rivera said. "It wasnt really a mistake, just good hitting." It was Riveras second blown save in 31 chances during his farewell season. Baseballs career saves leader, chosen for his 13th All-Star squad, had converted 41 tries in a row at home since his last failure on Sept. 26, 2010, against Boston. "Whenever it happens youre kind of shocked, thats how good he is," manager Joe Girardi said. Darren ODay (5-0) got two outs and Jim Johnson, who blew a save in the series opener Friday, struck out two in a perfect ninth for his major league-leading 30th save in 36 attempts. Baltimore finished 2-4 on its road trip against the Chicago White Sox and Yankees. "Obviously, thats what you want. You want the ball as soon as possible. You want to try and redeem yourself and get back in a groove," Johnson said. "I felt like I was more aggressive with my fastball today and located it a little better." New York fell to 40-2 when leading after eight innings. The only other home run Rivera allowed this season was to Tampa Bay slugger Evan Longoria on April 23. The last long ball he gave up at Yankee Stadium was to Russell Branyan of the Angels on Aug. 11, 2011. "You dont want to go out there and get swept, especially against the teams in your division in games you need to win," Markakis said. "The way Kuroda threw the baall and, like I said, the conditions, well take it.dddddddddddd" Kuroda outpitched Jason Hammel on a day when the 92-degree temperature seemed to sap power from the bats on both sides -- until Jones connected. During the game, the Yankees put an announcement on the big video board informing fans about several stations around the ballpark where they could cool off and get water. Kuroda, beaten Sunday night at Baltimore in the series finale, skipped a turn because of a tweaked hip flexor. But the 38-year-old right-hander felt fine during his latest bullpen session and just ended up getting pushed back two days. Helped by some solid defence, Kuroda struck out four and walked one while throwing 88 efficient pitches. Hammel threw 69 of 102 pitches for strikes, but that only got him through five innings as the Yankees fouled off many of his best offerings. He is 0-3 in seven starts since beating Washington on May 27. Orioles third baseman Manny Machado made a jaw-dropping play to end the sixth, showing why he was selected to the All-Star team Saturday on his 21st birthday. Machado knocked down Luis Cruzs high bouncer with a backhand behind the bag, but the ball was rolling away from him when he picked it up with his bare hand. In one twisting motion that almost defied the physics of athletic momentum, he zinged a perfect throw across his body to first base -- from deep in foul territory. After he was called out, Cruz looked across the diamond in disbelief at Machado, who ended up near the dugout railing. Eduardo Nunez hit a sacrifice fly for New York in the second. "Hiroki pitched a tremendous game and we shouldve, shouldve won that game," Rivera said. "That wouldve been a great game to save." NOTES: RHP Scott Feldman makes his first home start for Baltimore on Monday night against his former team, the Texas Rangers. Acquired from the Cubs on Tuesday, Feldman pitched seven shutout innings of two-hit ball against Texas on May 6. ...

"Its something Ive always wanted to do," Davis said, adding he has no concerns about messing up his swing. "I play home run derby every day in batting practice." ...
