MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- Sebastian Vettel has refused to get excited about Ferraris strong one-lap? pace during Friday practice at the Mexican Grand Prix, but says his team had a positive day at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.Vettel finished the session 0.004s ahead of Lewis Hamilton as the Ferrari appeared to be better suited to the low grip conditions. Mercedes habitually runs lower power settings on Friday, but even with Hamilton ahead of Vettel the pace of the Ferrari still represents a big step forward compared to the last round in Austin.I think Lewis lap didnt look particularly good, so I think he has a little bit more in the pocket, Vettel said. But our pace was already very good last year, so it seems there might be something about Mexico City that suits Ferrari and hopefully we can carry that momentum into tomorrow. Its difficult to say, its Friday after all, so not the time to get excited. If we are in the same position tomorrow afternoon then we can be excited.Overall, we had a very good day, not judging the result but just judging the feeling of overall pace, and not just for one lap but all the laps we did. And we didnt have any problems and we were ahead of schedule leaving the garage, which is a very good sign. So overall a very good day.Vettel complained about traffic over the radio a number of times and afterwards compared the situation to driving on Mexico Citys clogged highways.Maybe it was just me today, but I felt that I was actually in Mexico City and not on the track today because there was so much traffic. I guess everybody was fighting with the same problems of making the tyres last, especially with the super-softs.I dont know entirely because I had so much traffic that I didnt have successive laps. But overall the pace was good, so thats the more important thing. I think we can still improve tomorrow and go from there.

We were able to get some guys rest, get some guys off their legs today, so they should be fresh going into tomorrow.The Rangers, who clinched the AL West on Friday, fell into a tie with the Boston Red Sox for home-field advantage in the playoffs.

Hes got a special changeup . something we had not seen.

I was on the mound like, `Thank you. Just keep swinging. That was good for me.Sean Doolittle and Ryan Dull pitched one inning apiece to complete the five-hitter.The As did all of their scoring in the second to chase starter Colby Lewis (6-4).Bruce Maxwell blooped an RBI single just past the outstretched glove of shortstop Hanser Alberto. Marcus Semien scored on a groundout and Vogt lined a three-run double to right before Healys 12th home run, a towering shot that put Oakland up 7-0.That ended a streak of 23 consecutive scoreless innings by Texas pitchers.LEWIS BEATEN BUT ENCOURAGEDLewis, who had won four consecutive games at the Coliseum, lasted just 1 1/3 innings and allowed a season-high seven runs and seven hits. The right-hander has lost four consecutive decisions, three since a two-month stint on the disabled list.I felt great, the best Ive felt in a long time, Lewis said. Thats the way it goes. I feel like I made a lot of good pitches. They just were able to drop balls in where our defenders werent.
