GRANADA, Spain -- Karim Benzema scored to give Real Madrid a 1-0 win at Granada in the Spanish league Monday amid growing speculation the club is close to a blockbuster deal to sign Wales winger Gareth Bale. Dustin Byfuglien Jersey . Madrid started brightly thanks to the playmaking of Angel Di Maria which led to Benzemas goal in the 10th minute, but left Granada with the chance to snatch the draw late. Madrid joined defending champion Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal as the only teams to win the first two rounds of the season. Madrids offer to English club Tottenham for Bale is reportedly similar to the record 80 million pounds (then $131 million) it paid for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009. And while it appeared the transfer was close to being done over the weekend, Bale remained a Tottenham player and is expected back with his team after a two-day break to rest a hurt foot he used to visit the southern Spanish resort town of Marbella. If Bales possible arrival wasnt enough to distract from the action on the pitch at Los Carmenes Stadium, there was also the sight of Spain and Madrid captain Iker Casillas sitting on the bench for a second consecutive match under coach Carlo Ancelotti. Despite a week of pressure by Spanish media to see Casillas returned to Madrids goal, Ancelotti stuck with Lopez in goal and maintained former coach Jose Mourinhos decision from last season to reduce Casillas to the role of backup. Ancelotti said his decision was because "Diegos playing well right now. Theres nothing else to say." Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa called on Madrids fans to unite behind the team and let rest the debate over the goalkeeper. "I support them both, Lopez and Iker, just like my teammates do, and I think it would be interesting if the public did the same," he said. Even though Madrid has two wins in as many games, it has struggled to take the first six points of the season after needing a late goal to edge Real Betis in Ancelottis debut. "We are in the second round, with a new coach and new players," said Arbeloa. "Its normal that we are not at our top level. We are trying to do it the best we can, but it takes time." Bale might be tagged to be Madrids next big threat up front, but in the meantime Di Maria put on an all-around attacking display against the overmatched Granada in the first half hour. Di Maria had already tested the keeper and set up Benzema before Granada left the Argentina international with enough time to pick out Ronaldos run from the left flank. The Portugal forwards first touch to control the ball wasnt good, but Benzema was there to drive the ball home as the defence looked on. Madrid seemed ready to romp as Mesut Ozil was denied from close by Granada goalie Roberto Fernandez and Di Maria again crossed for Ronaldo, only for Ronaldo to uncharacteristically whiff when trying to slot in the dangerous pass. Madrid almost doubled its lead in the 62nd through Francisco "Isco" Alarcon who wrong-footed his marker before forcing Fernandez to push his shot onto the post. Ronaldo came alive as the rest faded and drew several saves from Fernandez, but he was still left without a goal this season. Granada surged forward in the final minutes and managed to trap Madrid in its area, but it couldnt do better than pepper the box with crosses that never turned into shots on goal.

Oyama had six birdies and two bogeys at Kintetsu Kashikojima in the event also sanctioned by the Japan LPGA Tour. "I have been having this neck ache thats been affecting my golf recently," Oyama said.DETROIT -- Hisashi Iwakuma kept Miguel Cabrera hitless and the Detroit Tigers scoreless, keeping up quite a streak. Iwakuma extended his scoreless innings streak on the road to 25 and Justin Smoak homered off Justin Verlander to help Seattle Mariners beat Detroit 8-0 on Wednesday night. Iwakuma (13-6) matched his career high going eight innings, giving up just four hits and one unintentional walk. He struck out six, including Cabrera twice. "You dont see many pitchers have Miggy swinging like he was out there," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. Iwakumas 25-inning scoreless streak on the road matches a franchise record. It trails only the 25 2-3 innings scoreless stretch Joe Kelly had on the road for St. Louis earlier this year, according to STATS LLC. "I dont know what I might be doing to make it happen," the Japanese right-hander said through an interpreter. "Im just trying to focus, pitch my game and stay with my plan." Iwakuma, who became an All-Star this year in his second season, joined Randy Johnson (1994) and Brian Holman (1989) as Mariners who have thrown 25 straight scoreless innings on the road. In the fourth inning, Iwakuma got out of a bases-loaded jam for the second time in the game at Detroit. "We had a shot," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "But thats what good pitchers do, they dont let you capitalize. "Thats why hes one of the best." Verlander (13-12) allowed three runs, four hits, walked three and struck out six over seven innings. "The stuff has been getting better almost every time out," Verlander said. "How Im going to be in the post-season, well see. You never want to say anything clinched until it is." The AL Central-leading Tigers had won three straight and six of seven to close in on their third straight title, but they have not eliminated the Cleveland Indians from contention in the division. Seattle had lost eight of nine. Verlander gave up walks to leadoff hitters in the first two innings, and the second time it led to him giving up two runs. Mark Stuart Jets Jersey. Smoak got a free pass in the second and scored on Michael Saunders double deep into the left-centre gap. Nick Franklin followed with an RBI single to give Seattle a 2-0 lead. "The walks hurt me," Verlander said. "It seemed like every inning, especially the first four, I was very erratic with the first batter of the inning." Verlander seemed to finally find a groove in the fourth inning when he retired the side in order, but Smoaks solo shot -- his 17th homer -- gave Seattle a 3-0 lead in the sixth. Verlander struck out two in the seventh, ending his 124-pitch outing. The 2011 MVP and Cy Young Award winner earned a victory in his previous start, ending a six-game winless streak. He has won consecutive games only once -- July 31 and Aug. 6 -- since winning four straight starts in late May and early June. Iwakuma, meanwhile, hadnt won any of his previous four starts despite a 2.10 ERA over that stretch. He didnt need more run support against Detroit, but the Mariners provided it four runs in the eighth and another in the ninth on Gutierrezs homer. Seattles Danny Farquhar pitched the ninth and faced Alex Avila, a high school teammate in Florida, and struck him out to end the game. NOTES: The Tigers gave OF Torii Hunter a scheduled day off and rested 2B Omar Infante. ... Tigers RHP Bruce Rondon, who hasnt pitched in a game since Sept. 2 because of an elbow injury, threw from 120 feet on Wednesday and the team hopes he can throw a bullpen session by the end of the week. ... Smoak has six homers over 11 games in Detroit. ... The Tigers announced Larry Parrish will be retained to manage the Triple-A Toledo next year. ... Detroits Doug Fister (12-9) will start against Seattles James Paxton (2-0) in the series finale Thursday, then the Tigers will open their home series against the Chicago White Sox on Friday night when Max Scherzer will make his fifth straight start seeking his 20th win.
