Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Ronnie Belliard knocked in three runs and newest addition Jon Garland pitched effectively against some familiar faces, as Los Angeles edged Arizona, 4-2, in the finale of a four-game set at Chavez Ravine.

Mark Reynolds RBI single in the first inning gave Arizona the early lead, but the Dodgers countered in the second on Belliards two-out, run-scoring single. Drew homered in the third to restore the lead for the D-Backs. Ramirez led off the fourth with a towering drive to center field. Casey Blake followed with a double and later scored the go-ahead run on a broken-bat base hit from Belliard. Los Angeles loaded the bases in the sixth, but managed only one run via a Belliard groundout. Arizona wasted a one-out double by pinch-hitter Justin Upton off George Sherill in the eighth.

RUSTENBURG, South Africa - Wayne Rooney has vowed to achieve redemption for his red card exit from the last World Cup by firing England into the knockout stages of this tournament. Englands Wayne Rooney (R) fights for the ball during their 2010 World Cup Group C soccer match against the US at Royal Bafokeng stadium in Rustenburg June 12, 2010. [Agencies] The Manchester United striker failed to do himself justice in Germany, where he was not fully match fit following an accelerated pre-tournament rehabilitation from a broken metatarsal bone. Having failed to score in four appearances, Rooney departed the tournament in disgrace, his frustration over his own and Englands under-performance culminating in a stamp on Portugals Ricardo Carvalho in a quarterfinal England were to lose on penalties.

Rooney, 24, is confident England will beat their other group opponents, Algeria, whom they face in Cape Town on Friday night, and Slovenia, and is also bullish about his own chance to be one of the tournaments major stars. I feel a lot more comfortable and more positive this time than in Germany, Rooney said. With the last World Cup, I didnt train with the lads beforehand and didnt play in any of the warm-up games because of my injury. I got thrown straight into a few games and you know you are not match fit. I didnt feel that I did myself justice and Im hoping this World Cup I can do myself justice. Ive sort of forgotten about the last World Cup now and Ive moved on. What drives me on is trying to win for England and trying to do well at the world level. Thats a great drive for any player. What Maradona did in 1986 and Pele did in three World Cups. They are the two stand-out players who have taken the World Cup by the scruff of the neck and virtually won it singlehanded. You look at those two and if yyou can do half of what they achieved, then that would be great. Authentic Daniel Alfredsson Jersey. Rooney goes into this tournament on the back of a 33-goal campaign for Manchester United and his record for England, for whom he generally plays in a more withdrawn role than has been the case for his club this season, is highly respectable 25 goals in 61 internationals. His last goal for his country came in last Septembers 5-1 rout of Croatia and it is telling that England have not really produced a totally convincing performance since that night at Wembley. The fact Ive not scored for England for a while is not really a concern, said Rooney, who did find the net last week with a well-taken volley in Englands final warm-up match against local club Platinum Stars. Id like to score. As a forward you want to score goals. I dont mind not scoring if we win. But I know for us to win, it will be more or less down to me to score the goals - whether it is now or later in the competition. Rooneys success playing on the shoulder of the last defender this season has led to speculation he may no longer be completely comfortable playing alongside Emile Heskey, whose scoring rate for England is poor but does generate openings for forwards playing alongside him. I will play wherever the manager wants me to play, Rooney said. Throughout the qualifying campaign, it worked really well with myself and Emile so if that is how he wants to play, I am happy with that. But I feel comfortable whether with a partner or on my own. Rooney believes too much has been read into Englands display against the US, who were gifted their equaliser by an error by goalkeeper Robert Green. If you look at the Italians, four years ago they won the tournament and it showed how things can quickly turn around, Rooney said. In the group stages of the tournament they did not have the greatest results and were on the brink of going out. But, with any tournament, it is how you finish and not how you start. Overall, a draw was not a bad result against the US although we were obviously looking for the win. It means we have to win the next game and we are looking in good shape to do that. We will be fine. If I am being honest, I think we will win our last two games and end up being top of the group. agence france-presse ' ' '
