LONDON - Shorn of the dynamism of injured midfielder Cesc Fabregas and the attacking potency provided by Diego Costa, Chelsea seemed content with drawing Manchester City 1-1 on Saturday.Although the perfect home record in the English Premier League ended, the leaders kept City five points adrift and ensured the champions went a third consecutive league game without a win.After the opener from Chelsea striker Loic Remy was cancelled out before halftime by David Silva, the hosts produced an unadventurous, ultra-defensive second-half performance.Our team tried to win the game from the first minute till the end, City manager Manuel Pellegrini said. Im very proud about that.Its not easy to come here, to Stamford Bridge against the leaders of the Premier League. We created, especially in the first half, clear chances to deserve more than the point. Thats why Im not happy about the point, but Im happy about the performance of the team.What did Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho make of it? Only his players know.Even though the league boasted that a record 26 broadcast crews from across the globe were at one of its games, they all left without hearing from Mourinho as the managers strop against the football authorities continued.Mourinho was irate on Tuesday that Costa was singled out for stamps on Liverpool opponents during a League Cup semifinal win. The Football Association imposed a three-match ban on Mourinhos top-scorer on Friday, two days after the manager was fined for previously claiming referees are influenced by a campaign against the club.If Mourinho wanted to sustain the siege mentality he has built around Stamford Bridge in recent weeks, it seemed to work. Even some fans were chanting abuse about a television pundit during the game, but the team wasnt as animated on the pitch.It was a game littered with mistakes, and not the greatest exhibition of quality from the worlds top football league.When Branislav Ivanovic gave the ball away early on, City midfielder James Milner seized possession and fed Sergio Aguero, whose shot was batted away. And Chelsea captain John Terry was caught out when a deep ball flew over his head to Aguero, who eventually skimmed a shot past the post from a tight angle.But the hosts went in front in the 41st minute when Ivanovic picked out Eden Hazard, who volleyed low across the face of goal. The ball went past City defender Vincent Kompany and was perfectly placed for Remy to stab in, in just his second start of the season.City produced an instant response after Nemanja Matic gave the ball away inside his own half. It led to Jesus Navas whipping in a cross from the left flank, which goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois flapped at as he tried to punch it clear. The ball fell to Aguero, whose shot was turned in by Silva before the halftime whistle.After the break, Chelsea closed up, rarely encroaching in City territory but restricting the visitors from testing Courtois often.Not even Frank Lampards arrival from the bench could produce a goal — just as he did in the reverse fixture to inflict further pain on the club the midfielder left in May after 13 years.Initially booed by some Chelsea fans when he came off the bench wearing the light blue of City, the 36-year-old Lampard was eventually cheered. It was a rare moment of bonhomie during a game where the vitriol exceeded the quality on show.But with 45 points still to play for, the title race remains alive after this stalemate.We expected three points, but the draw is a good result for both teams, Matic said. City showed they are very strong, they never give up.___Rob Harris can be followed at www.twitter.com/RobHarris Wholesake Fake Nike Air Force 1 . -- Atlanta Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson is being checked for a possible concussion after blowing a tire on his way to the first workout of spring training.

Bostons bats exploded in Mondays opener, as David Ortiz belted a pair of two-run homers, Stephen Drew homered and drove in four runs and the Red Sox pummeled the Blue Jays, 14-1. The Blue Jays, fresh off a series win against the Texas Rangers, got a run via consecutive doubles from Erik Kratz and Juan Francisco in the third inning. Drew Hutchison (6-9) did not make it out of the top half of the third en route to his fifth loss in his last six starts. "It was a bad night," Hutchison said. "I didnt give us a chance to win." Hoping for similar support tonight the Red Sox will rely on righty Jake Peavy, whose only win this season came against the Jays. Hes dropped eight decisions since that win back on April 25 and is a miserable 1-8 on the year with a 4.59 ERA. "You kind of put that aside. Hes worked deep into games. Hes pitched low-run games. A number of days hes pitched on the wrong day, and days we havent supported him with a lot of offense,"; Farrell said.dddddddddddd "But more importantly, hes done a very good job of separating some tough luck situations ... and not letting it affect his performance." Toronto, meanwhile, will hand the ball to lefty J.A. Happ, who is 7-5 with a 4.91 ERA. Happ hasnt started since giving up five runs over 4 1/3 innings in a loss to the Los Angeles Angels back on July 7, but pitched in relief on July 12 against Tampa, surrendering two runs in just two-thirds of an inning. Happ is 2-2 in six games (5 starts) versus the Red Sox with a 5.33 ERA. Despite Mondays shellacking Toronto has won four of its seven meetings with the Red Sox this season. Mike Napoli went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and three runs scored, while Jackie Bradley Jr. and Christian Vazquez each had two RBI for the surging Red Sox, winners in eight of their last nine. "We had a good offensive approach up and down the lineup," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "It was a well played game in all phases." Bostons season-high output overshadowed a terrific outing from John Lackey (11-6), who did his part with seven innings of one-run, two-hit ball. ' ' '
