Nico Rosberg continued his fine start to the season by topping the timesheets in a Chinese GP first practice session that was disrupted by red flags and punctures. The German has claimed victory in the first two races of the season, bringing his winning streak to five races, and beat team-mate Lewis Hamilton by just over a tenth of a second with a 1:38.037 in Shanghai on Friday morning.Ferraris Sebastian Vettel trailed the Mercedes duo in third, while Fernando Alonso made his return from injury to finish 12th in the McLaren. However, P1 was overshadowed by two red flags due to rear left tyre problems.First, Felipe Massa spun off at Turn Six after his tyre came loose, with debris flying off his Williams. Following heavy clean-up work on track and back in the garage the Brazilian returned later on in the session, only to face a failure on the same tyre, at the same corner.Moments later, Kevin Magnussen was also limping back to the pits with the same rear left tyre shredded. Pirelli insisted that Massas issues were not down to simple punctures, instead putting it down to air loss connected to technical trouble. They later confirmed that the Williams and Renault problems were not tyre related.While investigations will continue, McLaren engineers suspected that the Williams problem was due to the tyre rubbing against body work, with Magnussens down to debris on the track.Massa though, was uncertain. We had two punctures. Why? I dont know, he told Sky Sports F1. We are investigating. For sure, something is touching the tyre or the wheel or whatever.We had no idea why we had the first problem. We checked the car and it was ok. But then we had the same problem. Hamilton, who has been handed a five-place grid penalty for the race, set the early pace on the medium compound - two tenths faster than Rosberg.However, the world champion was reporting problems as he locked up and span off twice at Turn 11.Following the 30-minute stoppage due to the second red flag there was a flurry of activity at the end of the session, during which Rosberg edged ahead of his team-mate.Even Rosberg encountered issues towards the end of the session, which Mercedes diagnosed as an ignition problem.

LOS ANGELES -- After striking out in his first two at-bats, Anthony Rizzo needed something to bust his slump. He found it in teammate Matt Szczurs bat.Using the borrowed lumber, Rizzo homered and ended a postseason skid with three RBI. The rest of the Chicago Cubs hitters broke out equally as big in routing the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-2 on Wednesday to even the NL Championship Series at 2-all.I know Szczurs bat has a lot of hits in it, Rizzo said. Ive done it a few times this year, just switching up the bat, switching up the mindset.Addison Russells two-run homer highlighted a four-run fourth that stopped Chicagos 21-inning scoreless streak and ensured the NLCS will return to Wrigley Field for Game 6 on Saturday.Its definitely a sigh of relief to have a big night, Russell said.Kenta Maeda is set to pitch for the Dodgers in Game 5 on Thursday against Jon Lester. Manager Dave Roberts said he will not start Clayton Kershaw on short rest after the Los Angeles ace threw a bullpen session Wednesday.Its not an elimination game, Roberts said.Following consecutive shutout losses, the Cubs rapped out 13 hits on an 80-degree night with the warm Santa Ana winds fluttering the flags in center field.Rizzo used Szczurs bat on Tuesday night and got a broken-bat single. Szczur, left off the NLCS roster, didnt mind. He wrapped another one for Game 4, figuring Rizzo might want to use the bat that is the same weight and size but a different model than his.I just saw him walking up with my bat, and I started laughing, Szczur said. And then he hits a homer with it.Rizzo and Russell had three hits each. Chicagos 3-4-5 hitters -- a combined 2 for 32 in the first three games -- busted out. Every Cubs starter got at least one hit except Kris Bryant, who walked twice and was hit by a pitch.Its contagious, just like the lack of it is contagious, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. When you start hitting, its contagious, defense, this whole game really follows itself.Los Angeles was limited to six hits and made four errors in a game that dragged on for 3 hours, 58 minutes.It happens, but we havent had a game like that in a long time, Roberts said . Youve got to brush off and get ready for tomorrow.Mike Montgomery won in relief of John Lackey, removed after consecutive walks opening the fifth. Four days shy of his 38th birthday, Lackey allowed two runs, three hits and three walks.I thought we put ourselves in a position to get to Lackey, but he escaped, Roberts said.At 20 years, 68 days the youngest postseason starting pitcher in major league history, loser Julio Urias gave up four runs and four hits in 3 2/3 innings. He was the third consecutive left-hander to start for Los Angeles.I wish I had taken advantage of this outing, he said through a translator.Chicago rattled off three straight hits to open the fourth, sparked by Ben Zobrists leadoff bunt single to third.With the way that our bats were swinging it at the beginning of the game, we just had to do anything we could. That was my thought process, Zobrist said. I felt like if he threw a strike, I could gget one down in a good spot and was able to do it.ddddddddddddHe took second on Javier Baezs single to left, and Willson Contreras followed with a single to nearly the same spot in shallow left, scoring Zobrist.Baez moved to third and Contreras took second on left fielder Andrew Toles errant throw to the plate that skidded all the way to the backstop.Jason Heyward hit a run-scoring groundout , and Russell followed with his first extra-base hit since Sept. 30 and his first homer since Sept. 19. He jubilantly pumped an arm as he rounded the bases on his two-run drive, which put the Cubs ahead 4-0.Rizzo homered off Pedro Baez leading off the fifth, snapping his 0-for-11 skid in the series. Rizzo had entered 2 for 26 in the postseason.Los Angeles closed to 5-2 in the fifth. With the bases loaded and one out, Justin Turners likely double-play grounder caromed off Montgomerys glove and Russell, who scrambled on all fours at shortstop as the ball went into left-center field for a two-run single.If he just gets his glove out of the way, he gets out of the inning, Maddon said.Chicago tacked on five runs in the sixth off relievers Ross Stripling and Luis Avilan. Dexter Fowler singled in the first run, Rizzo added two more on a bases-loaded single and Javier Baez hit a sacrifice fly , with a second run scoring on an error by center fielder Joc Pederson.By then, attention started turning to Thursday.Its about confidence, Maddon said, and I want to believe theyre going to show up tomorrow with a lot more confidence than they showed up with today.YOURE OUT ON REPLAYDodgers 1B Adrian Gonzalez was tagged out at home to end the second. A sliding Gonzalez stretched his left hand toward the tip of the plate as catcher Contreras applied the tag with his left hand near Gonzalezs upper left arm.Weve got plenty of still frames that prove I was safe, Gonzalez said. Usually they say the play stands, but they said there wasnt enough evidence, which means they know I was safe.The Dodgers challenged Angel Hernandezs decision, and the video review let the call stand. That drew online scorn from Washington star Bryce Harper.He was safe! Replay system still broke..Same thing all year long!
