MILAN -- It might be just days before his 40th birthday but Roma forward Francesco Totti is showing no signs of slowing down.On Wednesday, Totti was handed his first start in almost exactly a year and he helped his side to a 4-0 win over newly-promoted Crotone.Totti, who will celebrate his landmark birthday next Tuesday, did not get on the scoresheet himself but he lit up the Stadio Olimpico early in the second half with a splendid long-range pass for Romas third of the night.The former Italy international sent the ball with pinpoint accuracy to Edin Dzeko, who lifted it over the onrushing goalkeeper.Stephan El Shaarawy and Mohamed Salah had netted in the first half and Dzeko doubled his tally in the 57th minute, shortly before Roma goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny saved Raffaele Palladinos penalty.You saw up front a change, in being more clinical -- finishing off the chances the team creates, Roma coach Luciano Spalletti said.Totti is good physically. I knew the match would be difficult, that they would defend well, and he always manages to create something out of nothing. I want the team to absorb that from him, to use him as an example of anticipating plays.Totti, who won the World Cup with Italy in 2006, has spent his whole career at Roma and is likely to retire when his contract expires at the end of the season.Roma moved up to third, two points behind league leader Juventus and one below Napoli.Heres what else happened in Serie A:---JUVENTUS 4, CAGLIARI 0Crisis, what crisis? Juventus bounced back with an emphatic 4-0 win over Cagliari to move back to the top of Serie A after Napoli could only draw at Genoa.Juventus lost its perfect start to the season on Sunday as Inter Milan came from behind to win 2-1 -- a result which came days after a goalless draw against Sevilla in the Champions League.Massimiliano Allegris side was clearly out for blood and had 10 shots on target in the first half, something which had not happened since the 2004-05 season.Were back at the top of the table, being behind is never nice, Allegri said. We had a good reaction after the defeat at San Siro and the excessive criticism.The opener came from an unlikely source as defender Daniele Rugani scored his first goal for Juventus in 22 appearances, tapping in the rebound after Marco Storari had denied Gonzalo Higuain with a stunning save.Higuain doubled Juves lead in similar cirumstances firing home after Storari had blocked Miralem Pjanics effort.Dani Alves also got his first goal in a Juventus jersey, six minutes from halftime, as he was left unmarked on the edge of the box to drive into the bottom left corner.Cagliari defender Luca Ceppitelli turned into his own net to cap a miserable night for the visitors.---PESCARA 0, TORINO 0Joe Hart almost cost his new side dearly, but nine-man Torino managed to scrape a point at Pescara.Hart almost gifted Pescara the lead just before halftime when the England goalkeeper fumbled a simple Bryan Cristante cross and almost dropped it over the line before managing to recover in the nick of time.Afriyie Acquah was sent off moments later following a second yellow card and Torino was forced to play the final 11 minutes with nine men after Giuseppe Vives was shown a straight red.Incredibly, Torino almost won it but Andrea Belotti hit the post.Pescara also hit the woodwork as it laid siege to Harts goal.---EMPOLI 0, INTER MILAN 2Mauro Icardi did it again for Inter Milan with a first-half double to help the Nerazzurri to a third successive Serie A victory.Icardi headed in Antonio Candrevas cross for his first in the 10th minute and beat the offside trap to run onto Joao Marios through-ball in the 17th for his sixth of the season.The Argentina forward has been involved in all seven of Inters goals this season, setting up Ivan Perisics winner against Juventus as well as scoring six in his past four league matches.---OTHER RESULTSSimone Verdi netted an early contender for goal of the season to help Bologna beat Sampdoria 2-0 in a match which saw both sides reduced to 10 men.The 24-year-old struck a sensational volley into the top right corner just before halftime.Khouma Babacar also scored a delightful goal -- a cheeky backheel flick -- as Fiorentina fought back twice to salvage a 2-2 draw at Udinese.Elsewhere, Chievo Verona moved up to fourth with a 2-1 victory over Sassuolo and Palermo won 1-0 at Atalanta.

Bautista was thrown out of Sundays 2-1 win over the Houston Astros after arguing a called strike that led to a strikeout in the seventh inning. Bautista had barely stepped away from the batters box when home-plate umpire Sam Holbrook ejected him. "I said, I thought you have the biggest bleep strike zone that Ive seen all year, and that was it," Bautista said. "I was out of the game." Though it was just Bautistas second ejection of the season, his propensity to argue with umpires may have earned him something of a reputation. Its a problem the all-star outfielder has said hes working on. "Im always looking to hold it in when I think a bad call is made," Bautista said. "Im always looking to stay in games. Im always looking to try to do something good for the team. Im always looking to try to help us win the game. Im not trying to strike out, Im not trying to get ejected and Im not trying to not come through in that big situation." Bautista had popped out, flied out and grounded out before coming up in the seventh with a runner in scoring position. After falling behind 1-2 on two called strikes, Bautista swung and missed a pitch that he knew was a ball. "Theres things that are out of my control that make or put you in better or worse situations when it comes tto at-bats and counts," he said.dddddddddddd. "Im just trying to make contact. Either my eyes are deceiving me or I just dont have a good feel for the strike zone right now. I swung at a ball and struck out, and thats the bottom line." Manager John Gibbons came out to have some words with Holbrook, but he would have preferred Bautista just walked away instead. "Yeah, stay in the game," Gibbons said. "I understand the frustration, thats the way it goes. But we need him on the field. Hes a big part of our team." Bautista is hitting .251 with 24 home runs and 64 RBI this season. He was one of four Toronto players in the all-star game. Bautista said its "impossible" to know whether hes being targeted by umpires because of his reputation. The work he needs to do is independent of calls made on the field. "What I need to do is stay in the games and realize that unfortunately even though I would love for right calls to be made consistently, thats just not going to happen and Ive got to deal with it," Bautista said. "Ive been trying to control myself as much as I can. But it is something that Im not as good at as other players. I struggle with it. I play with a lot of heart and emotion and I try to always come through for us. When I dont, it upsets me. If I fail on my own, it upsets me and if I feel like some opportunities are being taken away from me, it upsets me even more." ' ' '
