MANCHESTER, England - Chelsea lost for the first time in 22 matches this season and saw its lead in the English Premier League trimmed to three points by Manchester City in a twist to the title race on Saturday.City capitalized on Chelseas 2-1 defeat at Newcastle by beating Everton 1-0, with a left knee injury sustained by star striker Sergio Aguero early in the game marring an otherwise great day for the champions.Newcastle shattered Chelseas unlikely bid to go through the 38-game campaign undefeated, pushing 2-0 ahead through a second-half double from Papiss Cisse and then hanging onto its lead after the 81st-minute sending-off of Steven Taylor.Didier Drogbas headed goal in the 83rd set up a frantic finish but Chelsea came unstuck at St. James Park for the third straight season, ending a 14-match unbeaten start in the league.The best team lost. The team which tried to win lost, said Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, who hasnt won at Newcastle in five attempts. We were unlucky.Aguero, the leagues top scorer with 14 goals, limped off in tears after getting hurt in a seemingly innocuous challenge in the second minute at Etihad Stadium. If the Argentina striker had been on the field, he would have taken the penalty converted by Yaya Toure in the 24th minute for the winning goal.Arsenal missed a chance to climb provisionally into the top four by losing 3-2 at Stoke, conceding to Peter Crouch after 19 seconds — making it the quickest goal of the season — and two more times in the first half.Santi Cazorla, with a penalty, and Aaron Ramsey scored in the space of two second-half minutes to reduce the gap, but Arsenals hopes of completing a recovery were dented by Calum Chambers red card with 12 minutes left. Arsenal has won just once in its last nine games at Stoke.Liverpool and Tottenham failed to make up ground in the race for the Champions League places, drawing 0-0 at home to likely relegation candidates Sunderland and Crystal Palace, respectively, to remain marooned in mid-table. Liverpool started captain Steven Gerrard on the bench for the second time in three league games.It was also goalless between Hull and West Bromwich Albion while Queens Park Rangers jumped out of the bottom three by beating Burnley 2-0. Charlie Austin scored QPRs second goal before getting sent off for a second booking.It was Chelseas first defeat since April — ending an unbeaten run of 23 games, 21 of which have come this season. Such was Chelseas explosive start to the league season and the strength of its squad that there was growing talk that the team could emulate the Arsenal team of 2003-04 in going the campaign undefeated.Goals by Cisse in the 57th and 78th put paid to that.Mourinho said he had no complaints about the result but was unhappy that ball-boys and Newcastle fans took too long to return the ball to the field.You need one ball, he said. Sometimes we had no balls and other times we had two balls.City played three hours later and sealed a fourth straight win thanks to Toures penalty, awarded after James Milner was fouled by Phil Jagielka.City goalkeeper Joe Hart preserved the lead with a brilliant late save to deny Romelu Lukaku.

PITTSBURGH -- Look who has the best record in the major leagues. Gerrit Cole overcame a rocky start to become the first Pirates pitcher to win his first four career starts in more than a century and the Pirates won their seventh straight, 10-3 over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Pirates moved a game up in the NL Central when the St. Louis Cardinals lost later at Oakland. At 49-30, Pittsburgh has the best record in baseball. Cole (4-0) gave up three runs in the first inning but no more as he made it through six innings, allowing eight hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Nick Maddox started 4-0 in his first four starts in 1907. "Its really a team effort," Cole said. "Ive pitched pretty well but Ive gotten a lot of support defensively and our offence has been very opportunistic. It feels good to say Im 4-0 but it feels even better because the team is playing well." The Pirates are on their longest winning streak since running off 10 in a row in 2004. The Pirates havent had a winning season since 1992 and the 20-year stretch of futility is the longest in major North American professional team sports history. However, they are not getting caught up in being in the rarified air of being 19 games over .500 in June. "Were just focused on winning that day," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "Our guys our very focused on taking it pitch to pitch." Johnny Hellweg (0-1) failed to get out of the second inning in his major league debut, giving up seven runs -- five earned -- in 1 2-3 innings. "He didnt come out with very good stuff," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "He was trying to aim the ball instead of throw it. That happens a lot of times when its a guys first time out." Starling Marte had a double and triple among his three hits, and just missed a homer in the eighth when he flied out to deep centre field. McCutchen had three hits, including his ninth home run, and three RBIs for Pittsburgh. Pedro Alvarez added two hits and Neil Walker hit a two-run double to start a seven-run second inning in which the Pirates sent 12 batters to the plate. Alvarez extended his hitting streak to 11 games Ryan Reid pitched three scoreless innings for his first career save. He was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on June 3 after spending seven seasons in the minor leagues. "Its really nice to get a save but its even better to help the team win," said Reid, who has a 1.00 ERA in six games. "I feel good about being able to come up here and help the team keep winning." Carlos Gomez, who missed the previous three games with a sprained right shoulder, had two hits for the Brewers. Jean Segura and Juan Francisco also had two hits apiece.dddddddddddd. Rickie Weeks ran his hitting streak to 13 games. Walkers double got the Pirates to 3-2, scoring Garrett Jones and Alvarez, who led off with singles. The Pirates then loaded the bases as Hellweg walked Travis Snider and Cole around a groundout by Jordy Mercer. Marte then singled home Walker with the tying run. The Pirates went ahead when Russell Martin followed by hitting a grounder up the middle that Segura, the shortstop, misplayed for an error, allowing Snider and Cole to score. McCutchen and Alvarez followed with RBI singles to knock the 6-foot-9 Hellweg from the game. "We had some trouble with (Hellweg) in the first inning," McCutchen said. "Hes so big and he was throwing sinkers from a downhill angle at a time when there still were shadows on the field. Then we got adjusted to him." Milwaukee acquired Hellweg and Segura, who leads the National League with 104 hits, last July from the Los Angeles Angles in a trade for ace pitcher Zack Greinke. Hellweg was 7-4 with a 2.82 ERA in 14 starts with Triple-A Nashville this season. "I wanted to have a good pace, I thought that was important in my first game, but I really started rushing things, especially in that second inning," Hellweg said. The Brewers jumped on Cole for three quick runs. A walk to Norichika Aoki and singles by Segura and Gomez loaded the bases and Aramis Ramirez walked to force in a run. A second run scored when Jonathan Lucroy grounded into a double play and Francisco capped the inning with an RBI single. However, the 3-0 lead held up only for one inning, and the Pirates added on runs following their seven-run second. Marte hit an RBI double in the third and tripled in the sixth and scored on McCutchens double. McCutchen homered off Michael Gonzalez in the eighth. "I was on the ropes and the pitch count was getting up there in that first inning but I got some groundballs in the second, guys made some really good plays behind and that settled me down," Cole said.
