BARCELONA, Spain -- Santiago Giraldo of Colombia beat Nicolas Almagro 7-5, 6-3 to reach the Barcelona Open final on Saturday, as his Spanish rival suffered a letdown after ousting top-ranked Rafael Nadal. Kyle Clifford Kings Jersey . Giraldo will face fourth-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan after he beat Ernests Gulbis of Latvia 6-2, 6-4 in the other semifinal on the red outdoor clay. Almagro slumped to his first loss in six meetings with Giraldo, a day after one of his biggest wins when he upset eight-time winner Nadal at the Real Club de Tenis. "Yesterdays game doesnt serve as an excuse," Almagro said. "Giraldo grazed perfection today, above all in the first set, and I couldnt find the answer." The unseeded Giraldo will be playing for his first career title on Sunday after he saved six of seven break points and finished the match with an emphatic ace. "I have always dreamed of reaching the top spots of the ATP ranking and tomorrow is a first step," Giraldo said. "But I am staying calm. I will keep to my routine and tomorrow will be a day to enjoy and play the best tennis I can." Giraldo prevailed in a match that featured several long rallies by proving more precise with his long groundstrokes. The first set was heading for a tiebreaker until Giraldo snatched it away by breaking Almagros last service game when he swatted a forehand return by the feet of the last years finalist. Almagro got an early break in the second set, but Giraldo won it right back and took control as Almagros nerves frayed with the match slipping away. "He believed more in his tennis, in how he had to play, and he barely made any mistakes," Almagro said. "I committed errors when I could have gone in front. That was the key." Earlier, Nishikoris faster movement overcame Gulbis big serve. Down a set, ninth-seeded Gulbis saved seven break points in the second before finally ceding his serve and losing the match. Nishikori will be seeking his second title of the season and fifth in his career. Butch Goring Jersey .

Dan Uggla hit two home runs, including a grand slam in the ninth inning, Monday night that lifted Atlanta to a wild 9-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.CLEVELAND -- Just about everybody in the ballpark wanted Carlos Carrasco to finish off his first career complete game Sunday. Including the guy who took him out. "He had pitched great, but I thought it was time to get him out of there," Cleveland manager Terry Francona said after Carrasco worked 8 2-3 innings and the Indians defeated the Chicago White Sox 2-0 to complete a three-game sweep. Carrasco (7-4) allowed four hits, struck out eight and didnt walk a batter, extending his remarkable turnaround since rejoining the rotation last month. However, with two on and the potential go-ahead run at the plate, Carrasco knew Francona would come to the mound and call for closer Cody Allen. "I wanted to finish so bad," said Carrasco, who waved toward the dugout after Jose Abreus two-out single in a last-ditch attempt to stay in. "He made the right move, but I was thinking, give me one more, please." Adrian Nieto led off the ninth with a single before Adam Eaton hit into a forceout. Carrasco struck out Carlos Sanchez, but rookie slugger Jose Abreus single to left ended the day for Carrasco, who was given a standing ovation by the crowd of 17,597 as he walked to the dugout. Allen retired Conor Gillaspie on a line drive to centre for his 19th save. Cleveland trails first-place Kansas City by five games in the AL Central, but moved within 3 1/2 games of Seattle for the second wild card. Carrasco is 4-0 and has allowed three earned runs in 38 2-3 innings over six starts since Aug. 10. He began the season in the rotation, but was banished to the bullpen after going 0-3 with a 6.95 ERA in four starts. "This has been so nice to see," Francona said. "You put a guy back in the rotation and hope for the best. It looks like hes getting stronger with every game." Although Carrasco pitched well in relief, goiing 3-1 with a 2. Anze Kopitar Kings Jersey. 0 ERA and a save in 26 appearances, no one expected this kind of success -- even the pitcher himself. "Im surprised," Carrasco said. "I feel great. Its something I have right now and I need to continue it." White Sox manager Robin Ventura watched his team score two runs in the series. "That kid today was great," Ventura said. "He had a lot of life on his fastball. Hes throwing up there at 97-98 (mph) and his breaking stuff was great. You could see by some of the swings the movement that he had." Michael Brantleys RBI single in the first put Cleveland ahead. Carlos Santana added a run-scoring groundout in the eighth. Scott Carroll (5-10) held the Indians to two runs in seven-plus innings, but received no help from his offence. Chicago has lost 14 of 18. WINNING TIME Carrascos strong stretch began with five scoreless innings against the New York Yankees on Aug. 10, his first win as a starter since June 29, 2011, when he defeated Arizona. That broke a streak of 17 consecutive starts in which he had a loss or no-decision. WALKING MAN Santana drew his major league-leading 100th walk in the first inning. Hes walked 90 or more times in each of the last four seasons. TRAINERS ROOM White Sox: OF Avisail Garcia got a day off. Abreu, who has been dealing with general soreness, was the DH again. Ventura expects Abreu to return to first base sometime this week. Indians: INF-OF Mike Aviles (concussion) is increasing his activities, but theres no timetable for his return. He was injured attempting to make a diving catch in right field Monday. UP NEXT Indians: RHP Danny Salazar (6-6), coming off his first career shutout, will start Monday against the Angels. RHP Jered Weaver (15- pitches for Los Angeles. The game is a makeup from a June 18 rainout.
