TORONTO -- Team Canada has trailed for all of 89 seconds at the World Cup of Hockey.Indeed, the Canadians have advanced to the semifinals without much resistance. They rolled over the Europeans 4-1 on Wednesday night, concluding an efficient preliminary round that saw them outscore the opposition 14-3. A single-elimination semifinal lies ahead on Saturday.Jonathan Toews scored twice and added an assist. He doesnt think Canada has found its best just yet.Weve shown it in moments, where we hem teams in their zone [and] they cant get out, Toews said. If they do have the puck, we have two guys all over it and were turning it over and were throwing it back their way. We want that pressure, four lines going all the time.After winning Group A, Canada will face North America or Russia in the first semifinal on Saturday night. Russia can earn the spot with a win against Finland on Thursday on the final day of the preliminary round.Europe will play Group B winner Sweden in the other semifinal on Sunday afternoon.I didnt think either team probably had the emotion theyve had, Canadian coach Mike Babcock said of the Canada-Europe game. Both teams knew they had advanced. You know, as much as I think our guys really tried to get the emotional level at a high level, we were casual with the puck. We made mistakes we dont normally make, and saying that, we had the puck a lot, could have scored lots of goals. And their goalie was good.Sidney Crosby and Logan Couture also scored for Canada, and Corey Crawford made 19 saves in his World Cup debut.That was pretty special, Ive waited a long time, Crawford said. Watching as a kid, watching Olympics, watching world juniors. Its a pretty special feeling to put that jersey on. Having friends and family and my parents here, it was a great feeling.Crawford gave up the only goal when Marian Hossa -- normally his teammate with the Chicago Blackhawks -- knuckled a puck past him from a sharp angle in the second period.I dont know what I was trying to do there, Crawford said. Ill probably hear about that the rest of the year.Jaroslav Halak stopped 42 shots for Europe.I thought Canada did an amazing job of getting in the lanes and taking away any opportunities we had, Europe coach Ralph Krueger said. But theres a lot of growth in this game for us. Were where we wanted to be at this point. Were in the semifinal. sWell Marble Water Bottle .

NEW YORK -- Word has been out for a while: The right way to go after the Los Angeles Dodgers is with left-handed pitching.Unable to solve veteran southpaw CC Sabathia, the NL West leaders were shut out for the second time in three games Tuesday night and lost 3-0 to the New York Yankees.Before the game, manager Dave Roberts said he thought Sabathia would pose a very good test for a team thats struggling against lefties.I dont think we fared too well, he said.Despite starting six right-handed batters, the Dodgers managed just five hits and never got more than one in an inning.Its a familiar problem and one that could prove an Achilles heel the rest of the way. Los Angeles began the night batting only .215 with a .295 on-base percentage and .633 OPS versus left-handers.I think that we had a good plan in place and he made pitches, Roberts said. As we finish out the next 18 games, were going to see some left-handed pitching and rightfully so. So theres got to be some point where we break through.In the series finale Wednesday afternoon, Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw makes his first career start at Yankee Stadium.Jacoby Ellsbury and Didi Gregorius came off the bench and hit back-to-back homers on consecutive pitches from Ross Stripling in the seventh.Sabathia pitched three-hit ball for 6 1/3 innings, Gary Sanchez added a leadoff home run in the eighth and the Yankees won for the eighth time in 10 games. They pulled even with Detroit, two games behind Toronto and Baltimore for the two AL wild cards.Prized rookie Julio Urias was lifted in the fourth by the Dodgers, who had won seven of nine before getting blanked for the 10th time this season.They have a four-game lead in the NL West over San Francisco, which lost 6-4 to San Diego.The 20-year-old Urias, outdone by a fellow southpaw 16 years his senior, walked three and threw 78 pitches in what is expected to be his final start this year. Los Angeles plans to put Urias in the bullpen to limit his innings and get him ready for his potential postseason role.Ill be happy with whatever decision they take, Urias said through a translator.Sabathia struck out seven and walked one as the Yankees rebounded from consecutive losses following a seven-game winning streak.Adam Warren (3-1) retired both batters he faced, and Dellin Betances got four outs for his 11th save.Ellsbury originally was rested against the left-hander, but entered in the fifth when rookie right fielder Aaron Judge exited with an oblique injury.With one out in the seventh, Ellsbury drove a hangingg breaking ball from Stripling (4-7) into the second deck in right field to snap a scoreless tie.ddddddddddddGregorius, nursing a sore rib, connected on Striplings next pitch for his first career pinch-hit homer.I never, to my knowledge, have given up back-to-back homers on back-to-back pitches, so hopefully that doesnt happen again, Stripling said. Obviously, stinks to be the guy that gives it up.Sanchez went the opposite way against Jesse Chavez, the rookies 14th home run in 136 at-bats this year.A BRONX TALEUrias became the youngest pitcher to start a game at Yankee Stadium since Edwin Correa in 1986, the Elias Sports Bureau said.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: LHP Brett Anderson, on the disabled list with a blister on his index finger, is scheduled to make a rehab start Friday for Triple-A Oklahoma City in Game 3 of the Pacific Coast League championship series against El Paso. ... RHP Brandon McCarthy (right hip stiffness) and LHP Alex Wood (elbow impingement) will throw in simulated-game situations this week in Arizona, Roberts said. ... Roberts said he thinks LHP Scott Kazmir (neck inflammation) is shut down at this point following a setback last week during his rehab start at Oklahoma City. ... LF Yasiel Puig went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in the cleanup spot. He appeared to be shaken up after he fouled a pitch back in the first. Puig was checked by a trainer after another foul ball a few pitches later, but remained in the game. He had a little something with his left shoulder and when he was in Oklahoma City there was a couple swings that he took that got something triggered behind his left shoulder, but he said he was adamant about staying in the game and said that there was nothing to it, Roberts said. ... Andre Ethier probably will be the DH on Wednesday, Roberts said.UP NEXTDodgers: Kershaw (11-3, 1.89 ERA) is set to make his second start since missing more than two months with a back injury. The ace left-hander threw 66 pitches over three innings last Friday in a 4-1 loss at Miami, but Roberts wouldnt say how many Kershaw might throw this time. Itll be more than his last start, Roberts said. We expect Clayton to be Clayton.Kershaw has faced the Yankees twice at Dodger Stadium, allowing two earned runs over 15 innings (1.20 ERA) in a pair of no-decisions -- the last in July 2013.Yankees: RHP Michael Pineda (6-11, 5.07) is 0-1 with a 4.65 ERA in his past six starts.
