MILAN -- Gonzalo Higuain celebrated his birthday weekend with two goals as he helped Juventus to a 3-1 victory at Torino in a thrilling derby match on Sunday.Goals from two of the best strikers in European football looked like ensuring the Derby della Mole would end with honors even. Higuain canceled out Andrea Belottis opener for Torino, with both scoring on their first opportunity.But Higuain doubled his tally in the 83rd minute and substitute Miralem Pjanic sealed the result in stoppage time.Juventus moved seven points clear of second-placed Roma and AC Milan, which play each other on Monday.It was a special match, Higuain said. We were losing, we were in difficulty but after we equalized we stayed in control and in the end we won. Winning the derby, scoring and having a good team performance was a lovely birthday present.Is it a message for Roma and Milan? We did our job, we had to win and we did so. What they do tomorrow is their problem.Juventus hosts Roma next Saturday.There was a passionate atmosphere at the Stadio Olimpico and the home supporters were furious when Belotti was brought down by Daniele Rugani, as he was about to run clear through on goal, but the referee waved play on.Mario Mandzukic had two chances in quick succession for Juventus but sent a free header wide and then had another attempt kept out by a sensational save from England goalkeeper Joe Hart.Belotti broke the deadlock moments later, in the 16th. Davide Zappacosta burst down the right flank and threaded the ball through to Daniele Baselli, who crossed for Belotti to head into the bottom left corner.It was the 22-year-old Italy forwards fifth goal in as many matches.Higuain leveled in the 28th, running onto Mandzukics through ball and into the area before firing into the bottom left corner.Torino had the better of the chances in the second half and should have retaken the lead on the hour but Marco Benassis effort was blocked by Mandzukic and Iago Falque volleyed the rebound wide.Adem Ljajic also went close in the 73rd but curled an attempt inches wide of the right post.Torino was made to pay for its missed opportunities as Higuain fired Juventus in front seven minutes from time. The Argentine controlled the ball before swiveling and firing through the legs of Torino defender Antonio Barreca and into the bottom left corner.It was the ninth goal of the season for Higuain, who turned 29 on Saturday. The Argentine moved up to fourth in the goalscoring table, two behind third-placed Belotti.Torino strove to get the equalizer but was caught out by another counterattack and Paulo Dybalas pass sent Higuain through. Hart pulled off a fantastic save and did so again to deny Pjanic but the Bosnia and Herzegovina international tapped in the rebound.---CAGLIARI 0, NAPOLI 5Dries Mertens netted a hat trick as Napoli equaled its biggest Serie A away win.Confidence was high at Napoli after ending a poor run of results with a crushing victory at Inter Milan and qualifying for the Champions League knockout stage.Mertens opened the scoring in the 34th with a delightful swiveling shot into the far corner, and Marek Hamsik doubled Napolis lead on the stroke of halftime, tapping in the rebound after Lorenzo Insigne headed onto the crossbar.Napoli started the second half as it had ended the first and Piotr Zielinski extended the visitors lead six minutes after the restart with a powerful effort into the bottom left corner.Napoli was running riot and Mertens doubled his tally in the 69th before completing his hat trick three minutes later.---INTER MILAN 2, GENOA 0Marcelo Brozovic continued his fine run of form with two goals to help Inter move into eighth.Brozovic netted his first goal six minutes from time when the Croatia midfielder volleyed the ball low into the bottom right corner.Genoa had looked the stronger team until that point with two attempts cleared off the line.Inter doubled its lead in the 69th following a great run from Joao Mario down the left and into the area before crossing for Brozovic, who fired powerfully home.Inter moved a point below Torino, and one above Fiorentina, which hosts Sassuolo on Monday.---OTHER MATCHESAtalanta fell to its second straight defeat as it surprisingly lost 3-1 at home to Udinese.Defeat at Juventus last week had ended a run of seven successive wins but Atalanta was expected to get back on track.Atalanta dominated but Duvan Zapata gave Udinese an unexpected lead -- completely against the run of play -- on the stroke of halftime.Jasmin Kurtic leveled but Seko Fofana restored Udineses lead in one of its rare attacks and Cyril Thereau sealed matters late on.Elsewhere, Sergio Pellissier scored his 100th Serie A goal to help Chievo Verona beat bottom club Palermo 2-0, and Bologna drew 0-0 with Empoli.

Colon pitched a four-hitter for his third shutout this season and centre fielder Chris Young robbed Albert Pujols of a home run to help the Oakland Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-0 on Sunday. "Ive been trying to explain it all year and I cant," As manager Bob Melvin said when asked how Colon is still able to pitch at such a high level in his 16th big league season. "Hes a competitor. He loves to play the game and he loves pitching. Hes always in a great mood, and hes in an even better mood on the day hes pitching -- which you very rarely see with starting pitchers. Hes just pitching with a lot of confidence, and we have a lot of confidence when hes on the mound." Eric Sogard hit a two-run homer to back Colon (13-3), who struck out five and walked one. The right-hander, making his first start since returning from his third All-Star game, tied Max Scherzer and Adam Wainwright for the major league lead in wins while reducing his ERA to 2.52. "Its pretty amazing -- and he was sick today on top of it," Melvin added. "You saw the velocity. It was down all day, so he did it a little bit differently today with more movement and less power -- and he still got it done." Colon is 10-1 with a 1.46 ERA over his last 12 outings. "It seems like hes dipped into the fountain of youth," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Hes throwing the ball as well as he was 10 years ago, and theres obviously been a resurgence in his career. For a couple of years, it looked like age was catching up with Bart and his velocity wasnt quite there. But hes always had incredible command." The 116-pitch complete game was Colons 35th in 395 big league starts, and the shutout was the 12th of his career. Young preserved Oaklands ninth shutout of the year when he pulled back Pujols bid for his 492nd homer leading off the seventh. Pujols came up again in the ninth with runners at first and second and took a called third strike before Colon ended it by retiring Josh Hamilton on a fly to left. Melvin went to the mound after Colon gave up one-out singles to J.B. Shuck and Mike Trout, but returned to the dugout without him. "Hes never asked me for anything. Every time Ive taken him out of a game when it looked like he could go another inning, hes always been great about it," Melvin said. "But this was the first time he said, Give me one more baserunner." Colon, who spent four seasons with the Angels and became the second pitcher in club history to win a Cy Young Award with a career-high 21 wins in 2005, is 5-1 with a 1.62 ERA in eight starts against them since leaving as a free agent in October 2007. Colon set down the Angels in order in four of the first five innings. The only exception was the third, when he gave up a one-out single by Chris Iannetta and a walk tto Erick Aybar before retiring Shuck on a double-play grounder.dddddddddddd It was the 96th time that the Angels grounded into a double play, second-most in the majors behind St. Louis 98. "Ageless wonder," is how Angels first baseman Mark Trumbo described Colon after going 0 for 3. "Hes got a lot of movement on the ball. His pitches all start out at about the same place. You just have to try and gauge where its going to end up. A lot of times its off the fist. Its really tough to pick up any spin off his ball. Its a testament that hes able to throw games like this at the age that he is. Its obviously a little more going on than what you might see." Jerome Williams (5-6) was charged with six runs -- four earned -- and eight hits in five-plus innings. He lost his fourth straight decision since beating Baltimore on June 12. In his last four starts, the right-hander has allowed 20 earned runs over 13 innings for a 13.85 ERA -- raising his overall figure to 4.73. Sogard, the No. 9 hitter, had no RBIs in 40 career at-bats against the Angels until he came up in the third and drove a 1-0 pitch into the lower seats in the right-field corner for a 2-0 lead after a leadoff double by Young. It was Sogards second homer this season and sixth in 392 career at-bats. The As extended the margin to 4-0 in the fifth. Sogard singled before designated hitter Coco Crisp bunted for a hit and continued all the way to third on third baseman Alberto Callaspos throwing error past first base, which allowed Sogard to score from first. Four batters later, Brandon Moss singled home Crisp with two outs. The As got two more in the sixth after throwing errors by Iannetta and Trumbo, which increased the Angels total to an AL-worst 72. Josh Reddick was on the front end of a double steal with Young, and continued home when Iannettas throw caromed off Reddick and toward the dugout. Young scored when Trumbo charged Crisps slow bouncer to first and threw wildly past Iannetta at the plate. NOTES: Home Run Derby champion Yoenis Cespedes missed his third straight game because of a sore left wrist. "Until he actually gets in the batting cage and swings freely and then gets in there for batting practice, he wont play," Melvin said. "Id doubt tomorrow. We want to make sure he gets in swings on the field." ... Colon is 8-0 with a 2.25 ERA in his last nine starts against AL West teams, a stretch that began with a 10-4 win over the Angels last Aug. 7 at Oakland. ... RHP Tommy Hanson, who hasnt pitched for the Angels since June 20 because of a forearm strain, is slated to come off the disabled list Tuesday and start against Minnesota. ... Crisp has gone 82 at-bats without an extra-base hit since his solo homer on June 21 at Seattle against Hisashi Iwakuma. ... The Angels were 1 for 16 with runners in scoring position during the three-game series. ... Trout extended his hitting streak to a career-best 13 games. ' ' '
