BERLIN - Hamburger SV needed late goals to defeat Werder Bremen 2-0 in the Bundesligas 101st northern derby on Sunday, moving above its bitter rival and out of the relegation zone.Hamburg substitute Artjoms Rudnevs broke the deadlock in the 84th minute when he reacted first and prodded the ball home from three meters after Bremen defender Assani Lukimya could only head on a long throw-in from Philipp Goetz.There was a touch of fortune about the second goal, too, which came in injury time.Pierre-Michel Lasogga, who was one of four Hamburg players through on goal, crossed for Tolgay Arslan, who struck the post from close range with the goal at his mercy. The ball rebounded in front of the goal-line past Bremen goalkeeper Raphael Wolf, who inadvertently knocked the ball in as he tried to catch it.The points are incredibly important for us, said Hamburg midfielder Rafael van der Vaart, whose side moved one point above Borussia Dortmund, now in the relegation play-off places.It had been a hard-fought battle with few scoring chances.Hamburg midfielder Mohamed Gouaida, who was promoted from the reserve side for his Bundesliga debut, tested Wolf with a stinging shot early on.Bremen midfielder Zlatko Junuzovic fired straight at Jaroslav Drobny at the other end, also in the first half.Drobny made a good save to deny Santiago Garcias header from Junuzovics cross before Rudnevs scored.Bremen finished with 10 men as Clemens Fritz earned his second yellow card in the final minute.The visitors clearly missed their injured top-scorer Franco di Santo and slumped to their first defeat under new coach Viktor Skripnik.Bottom side Stuttgart was hosting Augsburg later. Mike Lum Jersey . Vargas (8-3) allowed four singles and two walks while striking out five, allowing only two runners from a diluted Twins lineup to reach second base. Mike Moustakas and Jarrod Dyson hit RBI singles in the second inning against Kevin Correia (4-10), and that was all Vargas needed.

Broad, who was not involved in Englands World Twenty20 squad, is expected to feature for Nottinghamshire when they open their Division One campaign at home to Surrey on Sunday.And he could be joined in the early fixtures by a number of his Test colleagues, including seamer James Anderson and captain Alastair Cook, with England not playing their first Test of the summer until May 19 against Sri Lanka. Its exciting, Broad told Sky Sports News HQ. Weve got a really big summer ahead as an England side. Weve got seven out of the nine Test trophies available to us, and the two we dont have are Sri Lanka and Pakistan, who we play this year.I think every player will want to hit the ground running. Weve got Yorkshire coming here to Trent Bridge [starting on May 1] which will be a fantastic game, full of international players. Im not sure bowling to Joe Root will be much fun but well see how we go.The start of the year is so important to counties to get up the table, try and win your first three or four games and make a really good start to your season. Australia bowler Jackson Bird will be Nottinghamshires overseas player in the early months of 2016 season Weve just had [Australiaa bowler] Jackson Bird arrive today.dddddddddddd Dont know if he is playing this week against Cambridge MCCU, but hell be ready to go for Sunday.We look like we should have a strong side and its our aim to hit the ground running, starting with Surrey.County cricket will see changes this season, doing away with mandatory coin tosses, with visiting sides getting the choice whether to bat first. Only if the visiting captain declines to bat will a toss take place.Its an interesting one, Broad added. A lot of the wickets I have played on in Division One have been really good. I think its maybe aimed a little more at Division Two where teams are trying to get out of the division, creating wickets that do a bit. Broad was one of Englands stars in the Test series win over South Africa A lot of the seamers who got wickets in Division Two last season were under 80mph which proves the wickets were doing too much.But I know from playing in the Ashes, winning the toss and bowling at Trent Bridge can be a good thing. It will be interesting to see what kind of wickets are prepared. Also See: County build-up LIVE! Somerset sign Jayawardene Glamorgan bring in Tait Yorkshire embracing pressure ' ' '
