MANCHESTER, England -- A 24-hour delay couldnt put prolific Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero off his stride in the Champions League on Wednesday.Aguero scored a hat trick to lead City to a 4-0 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach in their rescheduled Group C opener that was washed out Tuesday because of torrential rain before kickoff at Etihad Stadium.The Argentina international is compiling some impressive numbers under new coach Pep Guardiola this season: Nine goals in five games; two hat tricks so far in the Champions League, with the other coming in the playoff round against Steaua Bucharest.So, too, is Guardiola. This was Citys seventh straight win to open the Spaniards coaching tenure and his teams attacking intensity was too much for Moenchengladbach to handle.Kelechi Iheanacho -- a late replacement for Aguero -- added a fourth goal for City, which did its best to keep pace with group rival Barcelona, a day after the Spanish side thrashed Celtic 7-0.There were positives all over the field for City, perhaps no more so than the sight of Ilkay Gundogan running midfield on his debut following an offseason move from Borussia Dortmund. It was the Germany internationals first game since April, when he dislocated his right kneecap, and he slotted right into Guardiolas team -- much to the coachs surprise.But that couldnt take the limelight from Aguero, who was back in the team amid a three-match domestic suspension for elbowing an opponent during a Premier League game. He tapped in the opening goal from Aleksandar Kolarovs low cross in the ninth minute, converted a penalty in the 28th after Gundogan was tripped, and completed his hat trick by rounding the goalkeeper in a one-on-one chance set up by Raheem Sterling in the 77th minute.Ever the perfectionist, Guardiola said that if Aguero worked harder for the team, even more goals will come his way.I wanted to convince Sergio that his talent in the box to score goals is natural -- I cannot teach him that, Guardiola said. But he has to know that behind there is a team thats going to help him, if hes going to help, and that is what I want to convince him.OK, the goals will come along. But if he can help us in that way, hes going to score a lot of goals.Agueros early goals quietened a reduced contingent of Moenchengladbach fans who had stayed on an extra day to support their team. Some of them had slept in a coach at the Etihad overnight and when they got to their seats for Wednesdays hastily rearranged match, they found an absence letter -- drafted and signed by the clubs sporting director, Max Eberl -- that could be given to the fans employers to explain why they might have missed work.The German club had its moments, such as when captain Lars Stindl brought a great save from City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo from a well-worked corner routine late in the first half. But the visitors couldnt stifle Citys attacking threat and conceded chance after chance in the final minutes.The whole team knew what to expect. Its not untypical of City, Moenchengladbach coach Andre Schubert said. We knew theyd press us high, particularly the first 25 minutes, and exert their power on us.We have to play to our limits. We had to get everything right, be very courageous, attack high up with high intensity. We didnt manage to do that.City reached the Champions League semifinals for the first time last season, losing to eventual champion Real Madrid, and Guardiola spoke in his program notes about creating history at a club that has never won Europes top trophy.The next step with this club is to be there every single season, quarterfinal, semifinal and maybe in the final, Guardiola said. It is not the point to arrive once and after disappear.Whitey Ford Jersey . He says so-called TRT is only one problem and he wants to go even further than the ban.

The Indians, held in check for three innings by Reds starter Homer Bailey, scored seven runs with two outs in the fourth and rolled to a 7-1 win over Cincinnati. The rally featured six straight run-scoring hits and supported a strong outing by Scott Kazmir, who allowed one run in seven innings. "That was really fun to watch," Indians manager Terry Francona said of the big inning that gave the Indians a split of the annual Ohio Cup interleague series. Reds manager Dusty Baker understandably had a different point of view. "Its been a long time since Ive seen a team get six straight two-out hits," he said. "Im not sure what the Indians figured out there, but whatever it was, it worked." The Reds won in Cincinnati on Monday and Tuesday before the Indians took both games when the series shifted to Cleveland. Cincinnati has lost nine in a row at Progressive Field and havent won in Cleveland since May 22, 2010. Run-scoring singles by Michael Brantley and Yan Gomes, an RBI double by Ryan Raburn, a two-run double by Michael Bourn and an RBI single by Jason Kipnis chased Bailey in the fourth. Asdrubal Cabrera added a run-scoring double off Alfredo Simon. "Brantley opened the doors for us with that two-out knock and everybody else tried to follow suit," Raburn said. "Sometimes that doesnt work but tonight it did." The Indians carried a five-game losing streak, in which they scored 14 runs, into the series. Cleveland had also dropped seven of eight, but the bats woke up when the Reds hit town. Cleveland homered twice Wednesday, including a game-clinching three-run homer by Jason Giambi, and fell one run off their biggest inning of the season Thursday. "That was impressive," Francona said. "We had a tough time breaking through. Baileys got good stuff. We kept extending the inning." Jay Bruce drove in Cincinnatis only run with an RBI single in the sixth. Kazmir (3-2) recorded his longest outing in the majors in three years. The left-hander dodged a bases-loaded jam in the third when he got Joey Votto, who came into the game batting .417 in May, to bounce into an inning-ending double play. "That was huge," Kazmir said. "Hes a very good hitter. I knew I had to be careful. Thhats the bottom line.ddddddddddddquot; Bailey (3-4) retired the first seven hitters before Gomes reached on an infield hit in the third. The bottom fell out for the right-hander, who lasted 3 2-3 innings for his shortest outing of the season, in the fourth. Cabrera was hit by a pitch and took second on Carlos Santanas one-out single. After Mark Reynolds struck out, Brantley, who was in a 1-for-15 skid, singled sharply through the left side to score Cabrera. Gomes followed by lining a single to left, scoring Santana. Raburns double to left scored Brantley before Bourn drove a double into the left-field corner for two more runs and a 5-0 lead. Kipnis, who was in a 4-for-34 slump, singled to right to score Bourn and finish Bailey. Cabrera doubled to right against Simon. Brantley and Kipnis werent the only Cleveland hitters to break out of slumps in the inning. Santana came into the game batting .204 in May while Raburn was in a 3-for-24 skid. Bailey, who threw 45 pitches in the fourth, allowed seven runs -- tying his season high. Kazmir, a two-time All-Star with Tampa Bay, had his career sidetracked by arm problems that began in 2009. He was traded to the Angels that season but was 9-15 in 2010 and appeared in only one game the following year before being released. The Indians signed him to a minor-league contract in January after he pitched in an independent league last season. Kazmir, who was 0-1 and allowed 11 earned runs in 13 innings in his past three starts, won for the first time since May 9. Votto went 0-for-4, snapping his career-long 18-game road hitting streak. NOTES: Raburn left the game in the fifth with cramping in his lower legs. Hes listed day to day. ... The Reds begin a three-game series Friday in Pittsburgh. RHP Johnny Cueto (2-0) takes on Pirates LHP Wandy Rodriguez (6-2). ... Votto is the only Cincinnati player to appear in all 54 games this season. ...
