PARIS - While many expected Paris Saint-Germain to reign supreme this season, the race for the French league title has turned into a three-team contest.Ahead of this weekends final round of matches before the winter break, the defending champion trails Marseille by one point, with Lyon just two points behind them.Pessimism is growing among PSG fans before Montpelliers visit to the Parc des Princes on Saturday. The team is not playing well, and Montpellier has lost only two of its last five trips to Paris. The Mediterranean side also overcame the big-spending club to win the French title in 2012 on a budget of $45 million.After claiming an eighth consecutive home win last week, seven-time champion Lyon travels to Bordeaux, and Marseille hosts Lille on Sunday.Here are some things to know about this weekends matches:___BIG STARS, NO SPIRIT:At least for now, PSG coach Laurent Blanc is more concerned with his players attitude than their results.The former France coach got some respite with a 3-1 win at Ajaccio in the League Cup midweek but is under growing pressure after back-to-back defeats against Barcelona in the Champions League and Guingamp in the league. Both mishaps have cruelly exposed PSGs lack of concentration and fighting spirit.In a team there are leaders and, when its not going the way you want, these leaders and also the coach, of course, they have to raise their game to ensure that the collective do, too, Blanc said.PSG has been enjoying possession a lot this season but is struggling to create chances.We were better last year, midfielder Thiago Motta said. We had a lot of the ball, but we knew exactly what we wanted to do with it, and what we needed to do with it to put our opponents in danger. With or without the ball we were playing more as a team.RABIOT LINKED WITH TOTTENHAM:Despite extending his contract with PSG until 2019 a few weeks ago, promising midfielder Adrien Rabiot has been linked with a move to English Premier League side Tottenham during the winter transfer window.According to LEquipe, Tottenham officials recently met the 19-year-old Rabiots mother to discuss a possible move to Spurs.Rabiot, who has been nurtured by PSG, has a tense relationship with coach Blanc, and has been involved in just four games this season.JOURDREN BETTING ON MARSEILLE:Goalkeeper Geoffrey Jourdren sees similarities between his Marseille and the 2012 Montpellier team that beat PSG to the title.I can see us in this team, both offensively and defensively. They dont concede and score a lot, the same way we did with Olivier Giroud, said Jourdren, who won the title alongside the France striker before his departure to Arsenal.Marseille, which lost at Monaco last weekend, has the leagues best attack, and only three teams have conceded fewer goals than Marcelo Bielsas side.TOURE EXTENDS DEAL:Up-and-coming Bordeaux striker Thomas Toure has signed a new four-year deal that should keep him at the club until 2019. The 20-year-old Toure, who has scored twice and delivered four assists in 15 games, was reportedly on Marseille radar.

Gordon and Salvador Perez homered, Danny Duffy pitched into the seventh inning and the Kansas City Royals beat the San Francisco Giants 7-4 Sunday for their seventh consecutive victory. The Royals gave out 10,000 Gordon bobbleheads for the series finale against San Francisco. Gordon, who played his college ball at Nebraska, also homered on Husker Night on Saturday. "Weve got to think of a promotion for tomorrow to keep it going," Gordon said. The big weekend is part of a nice roll for Gordon, who is batting .350 (14 for 40) with three homers and seven RBIs in his last 11 games. "Gordy is not swinging the bat well because it is Husker day or because it was bobblehead day," Yost said. "Gordy is swinging the bat well because he is seeing the ball well and putting good swings on it." The Royals, who won 10 in a row in June, have put together two winning streaks of seven or more games this season for the first time since 1985, the last time they were in the playoffs. They moved within one-half game of first-place Detroit in the AL Central. The Tigers lost 6-5 to the Toronto Blue Jays in 19 innings on Sunday. Gordon hit a two-run shot off Tim Lincecum (9-8) in a four-run first. The inning also included Billy Butlers run-producing double and Perez scoring on a wild pitch. "He was all over the board," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Lincecum. "When he threw a strike or threw an off-speed pitch it was up. He regrouped, but its tough when you get down four runs." Perez homered off Juan Gutierrez with Nori Aoki aboard in a three-run fourth. Aoki reached base four times -- two walks and two singles -- and stole three bases. Jarrod Dyson went 3 for 3 and also swiped a career-high three bases. Duffy (7-10) allowed four runs and three hits in 6 2-3 innings iin winning back-to-back starts for the first time this season.dddddddddddd He walked two in the seventh and both scored on an Andrew Susacs double. "You are really comfortable on the mound," Duffy said after the four-run first. "The offence just keeps doing their job. Its been a lot of fun to watch." Lincecum, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, was roughed up for six runs and seven hits in 3 1-3 innings. Lincecum, who is winless since July 11, has a 10.59 ERA in his past four starts, giving up 20 runs and 28 hits in 17 innings. "You just see how far you can go to give your team a chance to fight back and get in the game," Lincecum said. Wade Davis pitched a scoreless eighth and Greg Holland worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth while picking up his American League-leading 34th save in 36 opportunities. ON DECK Giants: After an off day Monday, right-hander Ryan Vogelsong, who has won his past two starts, will pitch Tuesday against the White Sox, the only big league team he has never faced. Royals: Rookie Yordano Ventura starts the opener of a four-game series with Oakland. Ventura is 4-6 with a 3.39 ERA this season at home. TRAINING ROOM Giants: Michael Morse was a late scratch with an ingrown toenail. Gregor Blanco replaced him in left field. Royals: Luke Hochevar, who had Tommy John surgery in spring training, will begin a throwing program on Sept. 10. A GIANT MOVE The Giants recalled first baseman Adam Duvall from Triple-A Fresno. Duvall was among the Pacific Coast League leaders with 26 homers, 84 RBIs and a .596 slugging percentage at the time of the promotion. Outfielder Juan Perez was sent down to Fresno. RUNNING ROYALS The seven stolen bases were one shy of the Royals record, set on Aug. 1, 1998, against Baltimore. Aoki and Dyson are the first Royals teammates to steal three bases in the same game.
