MALELANE, South Africa -- Charl Schwartzel and Morten Orum Madsen shared the lead after two rounds at the Alfred Dunhill Championship on Friday and will square off again at the back end of a tournament. Schwartzel lost out to Madsens late surge in the European Tours season-opening South African Open last weekend, but the Alfred Dunhill defending champion shot a second straight 68 at Leopard Creek to draw level with the Dane on 8-under 136 at the halfway stage. Madsen added a 71 to his opening-round 65 to stay on course for a second title in seven days to extend his early lead on the new Race to Dubai. They lead by a shot from Englands Ross Fisher and another Dane, Soren Hansen, who both returned impressive 7-under 65s. John Daly missed the cut in his second tournament back from elbow surgery after a 75 took him to 3 over par for the tournament. Schwartzel joined Madsen at the top of the leaderboard with four birdies and no bogeys in his second round. The South African won here by 12 shots last year for his only European Tour victory since his triumph at the 2011 Masters. Having denied Schwartzel in Johannesburg on Sunday for a maiden tour title, Madsen had a tougher time on the second day in northern South Africa with two bogeys and two double bogeys. At one point, he dropped four shots in three holes but also carded an eagle and five birdies to go 1 under on the day. Fisher climbed into contention after four birdies and an eagle in his opening nine, and Hansen had eight birdies overall. Daly, who had surgery on a damaged right elbow tendon in July, started with three bogeys in his opening nine on Friday, then finished with bogey and double bogey to miss out on the second half of the Alfred Dunhill. South Africas Hennie Otto, who sits second behind Madsen in the Race to Dubai, was tied for 12th, four off the pace. Giancarlo Stanton Jersey .

DJ LeMahieu Jersey . -- The Vancouver Whitecaps remained unbeaten with a scoreless draw at the New England Revolution on Saturday.CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The bottom of the Cincinnati batting order is putting the Reds on top. Eighth-place hitter Zack Cozart sent a three-run homer off the left-field foul pole and Kristopher Negron added a two-run shot, lifting the Reds over the Cleveland Indians 8-3 Wednesday night. Cozart, now batting .225, drove in four runs with two hits. On Tuesday night, light-hitting Ramon Santiago launched a three-run homer in a 9-2 victory over Cleveland. "We have to pick up some slack," Cozart said. "We cant depend on the big guys every night." Getting off to a lead is a difference maker," Reds manager Bryan Price said. Mat Latos pitched shutout ball into the eighth inning and chipped in with a hit. Latos (4-3), making his 10th start since opening the season on the disabled list and being activated on June 14, allowed just one runner past second base before Yan Gomes led off Clevelands three-run eighth with his 16th homer. Ryan Raburn chased Latos with a pinch-hit, two-run double. Latos gave up six hits and three runs with two walks and five strikeouts in 7 2-3 innings. Cozart, who hadnt homered since June 1 at Arizona, connected off Danny Salazar (4-5) with two outs in the second. Cozarts third homer of the season was the first allowed by Salazar in five starts since May 15 at Toronto. "It felt good," Cozart said. "It is not only getting hits but extra-base hits. Our pitchers have been pitching so well. We dont want them to go home empty." Negron made it 5-0 with a two-out drive in the fourth. The homer was his third of the season, all since being called up from Triple-A Louisville on July 10. "These guys want badly to succeed. Its good to see their hard work paying off," Price said. Cozart was excited for Negron, too. "Every time he gets a chance to play, he takes advantage of his playing time," said Cozart of Negron, who was taken off the 40-man roster after he had four at-bats in 2012, his only big league experience until now. Salazar lasted four innings while seeing his personal winning streak snapped at a career-high three.dddddddddddd He allowed five hits and five runs with five strikeouts. "Overall, he was better than his line score," manager Terry Francona said. "He made two costly mistakes to the bottom of the order." "I didnt throw too many pitches today," Salazar said. "I left a couple of balls a little high. I was trying to throw a slider down-and-away (to Cozart). I just missed my spot." The Reds broke open the game with a three-run seventh that started with Negrons double for his first career three-hit game. Cozart hit an RBI single, Latos followed with a single and Todd Frazier added a two-run double.

Reds: Right-handed reliever Logan Ondrusek threw his first long toss and bullpen session since he went on the disabled list on July 22 because of a strained right shoulder.
