OLIVA, Spain -- Canada was unable to get any offence going again Tuesday as the national mens team closed out its first camp under new head coach Benito Floro with a 1-0 loss to Mauritania. Scarpe Salomon Offerta . Adama Ba scored the games lone goal eight minutes into the second half. Canada had thoroughly dominated play throughout the game, a solid development for a young squad that continues to adjust to a new system. "Apart from the one goal against us I think it was a superb performance," said midfielder Julian de Guzman, who wore the captains armband. The result came two days after the teams played to a scoreless draw. "I think we can only get better once the core of the team is finally picked out and theres a lot more to look forward to," de Guzman added. Canada played the second half with 10 men after defender Marcel de Jong was sent off late in the first half for two yellow cards. Bas goal came on a ball that was played over the top. He was barely onside and beat goaltender Milan Borjan with a low shot. The focus for the Canadian players here was on the performance rather than the result, and they were pleased that they dominated in possession. "At this moment for us, the most important (thing) is to play well -- to achieve all the moves in attack and defence," said Floro. "I think they played very well." Canada had four corner kicks in the early going and nearly had a goal in the 33rd minute when defender Adam Straith played a high free kick to the right side. Tosaint Ricketts ran onto the ball and drew out Mauritanian goalkeeper Souleyman Diallo. Ricketts played the ball across the goal to Nakajima-Farran but his powerful shot was blocked. Canada pressed in the second half but couldnt pull even. Crosses came in from all directions but they never found the mark. "We werent concentrating as high as we could have but I feel like after they scored we did dominate the game," said Straith. "At the end of the game its not going to be good enough to just dominate and not score and not get a result at some point." Mauritania was reduced to 10 men in the 63rd minute when Oumar NDiaye was given a second yellow card for a foul on Issey Nakajima-Farran. Second-half substitute Samuel Piette had a chance in the 68th minute when he found the space to get off a low, hard shot. Diallo couldnt hold onto it but there were no Canadians in the box to take advantage of the rebound. Canada, which has had trouble scoring all year, remains winless over 10 games in 2013. "What was missing was pretty much whats been missing since a very long time and thats scoring," said de Guzman. "Hopefully thats something that we can work on going into the next couple camps but the purpose of this camp was to get to know how the philosophy of Benitos football and for the most part I think a lot of the guys were able to pick up on that."

With the Pirates in the thick of the race in the NL Central, the timing couldnt be better. Liriano struck out a season-high 11 in seven innings to win consecutive starts for the first time this season and Pittsburgh beat the San Francisco Giants 3-1 on Tuesday night.ST. LOUIS -- For six innings, Matt Garza was in top form. Then he tweaked a left oblique and it all fell apart for the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers bullpen quickly surrendered a two-run lead that had once seemed so secure in a 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. "It was bad enough where I had to take myself out of the game and I dont do that," Garza said. "Theres too much left in the season and I thought Id make the smart play." Manager Ron Roenicke said Garza will be examined on Monday after feeling his side grab on one of his final pitches. "He couldnt keep going," Roenicke said. "Great game, great fastball. He had a lot working." Garza said he had a similar injury last spring. "I hadnt even thought of it and it just happened, and you try and think of what you did," Garza said. "It felt like a muscle grab, and it was one of those, and son of a gun." John Lackey won his St. Louis debut when the Cardinals rallied for three runs in the seventh inning, capped by a go-ahead from rookie Oscar Taveras. The Cardinals took two of three from NL Central-leading Milwaukee and pulled within one game of the division lead. "We played a good ballgame," Roenicke said. "Got a couple of runs of Lackey and put up some zeroes and you feel pretty good about the game. "It didnt work out." Lackey (1-0) was the Cardinals big catch at the trade deadline that capitalized on Bostons sell-off. The right-hander won the clinching Game 6 of the World Series against St. Louis last fall allowed two runs and seven hits in seven innings and is 12-7 overall. Trevor Rosenthal struck out Carlos Gomez with two on for his major league-leading 34th save in 38 chances. Matt Holliday homered off Zach Duke with one out in the seventh. Recently acquired A.J.

Garza had been coming up the dugout steps, but Roenicke said the pitcher hadnt heard him say he was coming out. "When youre talking about obliques, you cant go out there," Roenicke said. Overbay singled, raising his career average to .364 against Lackey, but Gomez popped up. Garza was out after just 71 pitches, and the Brewers bullpen quickly surrendered the lead. Garza needed just 38 pitches and faced the minimum the first four innings. He went to a full count for the first time against Matt Adams, who doubled leading off the fifth.
