Beachsaison 2011 » Arizona later this week.

PARIS -- Frances World Cup ambitions were dealt a significant blow when winger Franck Ribery failed to overcome a back injury and was ruled out of the squad on Friday. Coach Didier Deschamps hoped Ribery would play a part in the friendly against Jamaica on Sunday, but the Bayern Munich winger was replaced by Montpellier winger Remy Cabella. Cabella was on the reserve list and has made just one substitute appearance for France. In another setback for Deschamps, attacking midfielder Clement Grenier was also withdrawn with a recurrence of a groin injury that has hampered him all season for Lyon. "We have to remain ambitious," Deschamps said. "Obviously with Ribery at 100 per cent were a better team, but well try and be a good team without him." The 23-year-old Grenier tore his right groin in training on Thursday and has been replaced by Southamptons Morgan Schneiderlin, who has never played for France. "Im very sad for them," Deschamps said. "I wasnt expecting this. If they were here its because I was counting on them, and the signs were very positive." Deschamps said both players were distraught when they realized they will not be on the plane to Brazil. "How do you think (they felt)? Theyre missing out on the World Cup," Deschamps said. "Of course there are worse things in life, but they are the first to be affected by it." The 31-year-old Ribery missed the previous two friendlies -- a 4-0 win against Norway and a 1-1 draw against Paraguay on Sunday -- but Deschamps was optimistic he would recover in time to play against Jamaica. Ribery had shown "positive signs of improvement" this week after increasing "the intensity of his work," Deschamps said. But that was when Ribery was training alone, and when he stepped up his routine in a bid to be ready to join in with his teammates, he suddenly pulled up in pain on Friday. "Franck had felt a lot better but his situation got much worse as we started to try and get him to take part in collective training," Deschamps said. "He is unable to train for a few weeks now and even less so to play." His final appearance of the season for Bayern was as a substitute in the German Cup final win against Borussia Dortmund on May 17. He had been rested since the 4-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the return leg of their Champions League semifinal on April 29. Ribery has 16 goals in 81 appearances for France and is the teams best attacking player. That mantle now rests with Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema. Ribery was third to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in voting for the worlds best player in January. It is a particularly bitter blow for Ribery considering how he had turned public opinion back in his favour, following a spectacular fall from grace at the last World Cup in 2010, when he was perceived to be a ringleader of Frances infamous training ground strike and banned for three matches by the French Football Federation. Deschamps must wait for FIFAs medical officers to validate his request to include Cabella and Schneiderlin in his World Cup list. They were set to join up with the squad at the Clairefontaine training camp late Friday. France flies out to Brazil on Monday, with spirits dampened following the loss of their talismanic player.

Cuddyer sent a 3-2 pitch from Sergio Romo into the left-centre seats for his 20th homer of the season, 10th career multihomer game and second this year. He also connected in Colorados five-run fifth to spark the comeback. Hunter Pence produced some impressive slugging himself, hitting a three-run homer in the first, an RBI double in the fourth and a tying, two-run single in the eighth against winner Wilton Lopez (3-4). Pence matched his career high with six RBIs. He also drove in six runs on Aug. 12, 2009, at Florida with Houston. Sergio Romo (4-7) gave up Cuddyers go-ahead homer, though much of the sellout crowd of 41,171 was already long gone by the late innings. The game ended at 11:17 p.m. after 4 hours, 2 minutes.

Charlie Blackmon hit a tying double in the sixth after Todd Helton led off with a single against Jose Mijares, then Jean Machi relieved and gave up Ryan Wheelers pinch-hit RBI single. Rockies starter Jorge De La Rosa left early as a precaution with left thumb soreness. He was denied a chance to move into a share of the NL lead for wins with Washingtons Jordan Zimmermann, who beat the Mets earlier in the evening at New York. De La Rosas day was done after just two innings for his shortest outing since going 1 2-3 innings on July 31, 2008, at Florida. Next time out, he will try again to match the franchise mark for victories in a season by a left-hander set by teammate Jeff Francis in 2007. Pences 20th home run was a high drive to left that hit the foul pole and ricocheted into the stands. He has six straight 20-homer seasons. Ryan Vogelsong has one win in seven outings since returning Aug. 9 from a broken bone in his pitching hand that sidelined him for 2 1/2 months. He failed to strike out a batter for the third time in 108 career starts — and first time since Sept. 29, 2004, at Philadelphia with the Pirates. De La Rosa, whose 10 victories following a loss by his team lead the majors, was tagged for four runs and four hits.dddddddddddd He remains one win from a career high and had his six-start winning streak end with a no-decision. He hasnt lost in seven outings since Aug. 3 at Pittsburgh. It was the Rockies turn to rally a night after losing in 10 innings. D.J. LeMahieu had an RBI single in the fifth for the Rockies to extend his career-best hitting streak to 12 games, and Corey Dickerson also singled in a run that inning ahead of Cuddyers homer. The Rockies left the bases loaded in the second against Vogelsong and hurt their chances with double plays in the first and fourth. Roy Oswalt will start Saturday at Arizona as the Rockies give the 36-year-old righty a chance to earn a job beyond this year. "We think hes a piece going forward," manager Walt Weiss said. "We want to get a good look at Roy down the stretch. We feel good about who he is and his impact on our club in the clubhouse, the way he mentors younger guys." NOTES: Giants manager Bruce Bochy greeted Helton near the batting cage before the game and wished him "good luck" ahead of his expected retirement. "Ive always appreciated how he plays the game," Bochy said. ... San Francisco LHP Jeremy Affeldt, out since July 21 with a strained left groin, is scheduled to be activated from the DL on Wednesday.
