FRANKFURT, Germany -- United States international Julian Green scored in his first official start as title holder Bayern Munich eased to a 3-1 win over Augsburg to reach the third round of the German Cup on Wednesday.Greens first goal in a competition match for Bayern came in the 42nd minute with a header off a cross by Thomas Mueller.The 21-year-old American winger played in the previous German Cup round, coming off the bench in a 5-0 win over Carl-Zeiss Jena. Green has been in coach Carlo Ancelottis squad several times this season but this was his first start.Green became the youngest American to score a World Cup goal in a loss to Belgium at the 2014 tournament in Brazil. His club career at Bayern stalled, however. He made a Champions League appearance in 2013, before being sent to Hamburger SV on loan. He rarely played there and returned to Bayern. He made another Champions League appearance at Dinamo Zagreb last season but did not see any Bundesliga action.However, Green made headlines by scoring a hat trick against Inter Milan in a pre-season tour of the United States, then scored in back-to-back matches for the United States against Cuba and New Zealand.Ancelotti left many of his regulars on the bench against Augsburg and Green got his chance.Another player made a comeback with defender Holger Badstuber coming off the bench late in the match. Badstuber had not played since an ankle injury in February.Bayern, an 18-time German Cup winner, went ahead through Philipp Lahm in the second minute and David Alaba completed the victory in injury time.Ji Dong-won had cut Augusburgs deficit with fine angled shot above Manuel Neuers arms into the roof of the net in the 69th.Both teams missed penalties, with Mueller shooting high for Bayern and Neuer saving the spot-kick taken by Koo Ja-cheol.Heres a look at other matches Wednesday:---BORUSSIA DORTMUND 1, UNION BERLIN 1, 3-0 in penalty shootoutDortmunds veteran goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller stopped the first two shots in the shootout and Berlins third spot-kick bounced off the crossbar. Ousman Dembele, Matthis Ginter and Mario Goetze all converted for Dortmund.An own goal by Michael Parensen had given Dortmund the lead in 44th, but Steven Skrzybski equalized for the second-division team in the 81st. Dortmund played with a reshuffled lineup because of numerous injuries and rotation.---COLOGNE 2, HOFFENHEIM 1In a match between two surprise teams in this seasons Bundesliga, Anthony Modeste scored early in extra time to give Cologne victory over his former club.Hoffenheim, undefeated in the Bundesliga, went ahead in the eighth through Benjamin Huebner, before Marcel Risse fired Cologne level with a free kick.Hoffenheim found the net with the last kick of the match, but the strike was ruled offside.---SCHALKE 3, NUREMBERG 2Yevhen Konoplyanka scored two goals for Schalke, which let slip a 3-0 lead.Klaas-Jan Huntelaar also scored for Schalke, before the second-division team netted twice after the break and made it a tense finale.Schalke has now won five straight games in all competitions, following a poor start to the season.---OTHER MATCHESMainz and Darmstadt joined the exodus of Bundesliga teams from the German Cup, losing to lower-tier opposition in the second round.Darmstadt lost at fourth-tier Astoria Walldorf 1-0, while Mainz went down 2-1 at second-division Greuther Fuerth.Germany striker Mario Gomez scored a second-half winner as Wolfsburg edged second-division Heidenheim 1-0 for interim coach Valerien Ismaels first win.Hannover thrashed Fortuna Duesseldorf 6-1 after scoring five goals inside the first 34 minutes of the match between two second-division teams.Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg, two other Bundesliga teams, were eliminated on Tuesday.Jerome Robinson Clippers Jersey Patrick Beverley Jersey .S.

His season debut followed a script that screenwriters for the Hallmark Channel could have produced.At the O.co Coliseum in Oakland on June 18, Lincecum earned a 7-1 victory over the Athletics in his first appearance since June 27, 2015. The right-hander threw six innings and allowed one run, two walks and four hits while adding two strikeouts.Since then, however, the fairy tale has turned ugly.Not only has Lincecum failed to win any of his four ensuing starts but the former ace has pitched just 17 2/3 innings and failed to last longer than 5 2/3 innings during any single appearance. During that stretch, the right-hander permitted four home runs among the 34 hits he allowed and compiled a 9.17 earned-run average.With left-hander Tyler Skaggs close to returning after missing nearly two years because of Tommy John surgery, Lincecum has little margin for error.I think for any player on a major league field, its performance based, Angels manager Mike Scioscia told MLB.com. He needs to perform well, and nobody is immune to that. But we have a lot of confidence that hee is going to do what he needs to do to be one of those five guys who are going to give us a chance to win games as a starting pitcher.ddddddddddddLohse finds himself in a similar situation. After going 5-13 with a 5.85 ERA for the Milwaukee Brewers last year, Lohse languished on the free-agent market until May 13, when he signed a minor league contract with the Rangers. The right-hander made 10 starts at Triple-A Round Rock before being promoted to make his season debut July 9.But in that game against the Minnesota Twins, Lohse surrendered six runs on nine hits while throwing 99 pitches in just five innings. Worse, Lohse sustained a mild strain in his right oblique muscle that forced him to begin an immediate program of accelerated recovery.I didnt have that fun of an All-Star break, doing two-a-day treatments to see how good we can get this thing going quickly, Lohse told MLB.com. It didnt feel like it was going to be something short. But we have been making progress every day.That progress culminated Saturday, when Lohse threw a bullpen session before the Rangers game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field and felt no ill effects.I came out of the bullpen session feeling good with minimal soreness, Lohse told MLB.com. We did a lot of work on it and feel good where its at.Had Lohse been unable to pitch Tuesday night, right-hander Nick Martinez would have been recalled from Round Rock to make the start. Martinez had been optioned July 8 but made one start for the Express, making him eligible to return quickly. ' ' '
