Kerry Washington's Friends Knew Nothing About Secret Wedding

Actress Kerry Washington wed American football star Nnamdi Asomugha with just her parents as witnesses.

The Django Unchained beauty tied the knot in secret in Hailey, Idaho on 24 June (13) and the nuptials were so low-key, none of their friends knew about it.

The only member of the groom's family to attend the wedding was the San Francisco 49ers cornerback's minister sister, Chisara, who officiated the ceremony with Washington's proud parents, Valerie and Earl, looking on.

A source tells Us Weekly magazine, "Nobody knew about it in advance. She told friends who found out in the news not to take it personally."

The couple had been dating for three years, but news of their romance and marriage only hit headlines last week (begs01Jul13).

The insider adds, "They dated very quietly. Kerry got to know him away from their careers and loved the real him."

Unbeaten Scherzer gets no-decision in Tigers' win

CLEVELAND (AP) - Nick Swisher rounded third, lost his footing in the soggy grass and fell flat on his face.

The Indians slipped some, too.

Unable to push across the winning run in the ninth inning, Cleveland lost 4-2 in 10 to Detroit on Monday night and fell another game behind the first-place Tigers in the AL Central.

The Indians dropped three of four to the defending division champions, who got a two-run double in the 10th from Victor Martinez off Matt Albers (1-2) and left town two games further ahead in the standings than when they arrived.

Detroit improved to 9-3 this season against Cleveland, which had some early scoring chances against unbeaten Max Scherzer and stranded 10 runners, including Drew Stubbs, who was left at second in the ninth.

"We left a small village on the sacks," said Swisher, who had two rough moments on the bases. "We've got to do a little better job there, but that's how baseball goes."

With the score tied 2-all, Mark Reynolds opened the ninth with a single off Bruce Rondon and Stubbs came in to pinch run. Drew Smyly (4-0) entered and his first pitch got by catcher Brayan Pena, allowing Stubbs to take second on the passed ball. Lonnie Chisenhall flied to center, but not deep enough to advance Stubbs.

Yan Gomes struck out and Michael Bourn flied out to end the inning and Cleveland's last chance to avoid extras.

Manager Terry Francona said he considered having Chisenhall bunt, and he was hoping Stubbs could steal third but said the speedy outfielder was having trouble getting traction on the wet dirt.

In the 10th, Albers got two quick outs before walking Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder. Martinez followed with a drive over Bourn's head that caromed off the wall, far enough away for two of Detroit's slowest runners to score. After Fielder slid across the plate, he popped up from the dirt and swung his arm in celebration.

The Indians had been 5-0 in extra-inning games.

"For us, it's a frustrating loss," Swisher said.

Cleveland threatened again in the 10th against closer Joaquin Benoit. With two outs, Swisher singled and moved up on defensive indifference. Michael Brantley followed with a single to right, and it appeared Swisher would score easily, but his feet went out from under him and he was forced to retreat to third.

It wasn't Swisher's only moment of embarrassment.

Leading off the eighth, he hit a squibber that hugged the third-base line and eventually rolled fair. However, Swisher never left the plate area and was tagged out by Pena.

"It's just a lesson learned the hard way," Francona said.

Swisher didn't offer any excuses.

"I thought it was going to go foul," he said. "In hindsight, I should have ran."

Benoit then struck out Mike Aviles for his seventh save.

Scherzer, attempting to become the first pitcher since Roger Clemens in 1986 to open a season 14-0, finished with a no-decision. He allowed two runs and seven hits in seven innings. The presumed AL starter in next week's All-Star game will take his unblemished mark into a start on Saturday against Texas.

"I don't want to focus much on that (being 13-0)," he said. "This was our best win of the year, and I was proud to be a part of it. The Indians battled so hard tonight and brought their `A' game, and we did, too.

"It was just a great team win, our best of the year."

Detroit widened its lead over Cleveland by two games on this visit, but manager Jim Leyland knows champions aren't crowned in July.

"We came in and had a very good series against a very good team, but I'm not really concerned about the standings," Leyland said. "Of course, I'd rather leave here up 3 1/2 games than up 1 1/2 games. But trust me, the Indians are not going anywhere, and we're not going anywhere, I don't think."

Cleveland came in with a reputation for beating Cy Young Award winners. The Indians have defeated seven former recipients this season, including Detroit's Justin Verlander. Scherzer is clearly the midseason favorite to win the AL honor in 2013, and while the Indians didn't hand him a loss, they did prevent him from beating them for the third time this year.

Scherzer wasn't at his best, and he was noticeably agitated on a night when the rain never really stopped. However, the 28-year-old got stronger as the game wore on. He gave up both runs - on a two-run single in the second by Chisenhall - and five hits in the first three innings, and pitched out of a couple of jams he created.

"He used to be a thrower and now he's a pitcher," Swisher said. "You've got a guy with all those weapons and he starts to figure it out, that doesn't make anybody happy."

Cleveland's Scott Kazmir went pitch for pitch with Scherzer, allowing just two runs and four hits in 5 2-3 innings.

Kazmir held the top four hitters - Austin Jackson, Torii Hunter, Cabrera and Fielder - in one of baseball's most feared lineups without a hit in 11 at-bats. The only one of the four to reach base was Cabrera, who walked with one out in the third.

NOTES: Indians 1B Mark Reynolds snapped an 0-for-24 drought with an infield single in the fourth. ... Chisenhall is batting .304 (17 of 56) with two homers and nine RBIs since being recalled from Triple-A Columbus on June 18. ... Former Indians SS Omar Vizquel was honored with a bobblehead giveaway and threw out the ceremonial first pitch to teammate Sandy Alomar Jr. ... The Indians open a three-game series Tuesday with Toronto. RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (6-4) faces RHP Josh Johnson (1-3).

Mexico opposition headed for election win, boosting reform drive

By Michael O'Boyle and Dave Graham

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's opposition conservatives were heading for victory in a regional election early on Monday, leaving a fragile national pact forged to broker economic reforms looking slightly stronger.

Nearly half of Mexico's 31 states held elections for a mix of local parliaments and municipal governments, but all eyes were on the race for governor in the state of Baja California, a stronghold of the conservative National Action Party (PAN).

Both the PAN and President Enrique Pena Nieto's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) claimed victory in the state shortly after polls closed at 6 p.m. local time on Sunday, but an initial vote count showed the conservatives maintaining a consistent early lead.

With votes from over half of polling stations counted in Baja California, the PAN had a lead of over 4 percentage points over the PRI, or nearly 48 percent of the vote, preliminary results from the local electoral authority showed.

The Baja California vote is being closely watched because a defeat for the PAN was expected to rattle the 'Pact for Mexico' Pena Nieto made with opposition leaders to strengthen his hand in Congress, where the PRI has no majority.

A win for the PAN could prove more useful to Pena Nieto than a win for his own party if it helps strengthen the pact he unveiled in December.

The PAN lost control of Mexico in last year's presidential elections, and it is now the third force in Congress. But Pena Nieto needs to keep the conservatives on board to push through planned overhauls of state oil giant Pemex and the tax system.

Baja California was one of the PAN's few remaining bastions, and the first state it wrested from the PRI 24 years ago. It proved a major stepping stone to the PAN claiming the presidency in 2000 after 71 consecutive years of rule by the PRI.

During the campaign in Baja California, PAN lawmakers repeatedly accused the PRI of trying to steal the election by buying votes, and they warned that any sign of fraud could scuttle the national pact.

Both PAN chairman Gustavo Madero and his PRI counterpart said on Sunday evening that their candidate had won the governor's office, but there was no independent projection.

A few hours before the polls closed Madero was asked how he viewed the future of the Pact, and said: "the need to reach agreements is still there, it's still imperative for Mexico."

A poll late last month gave the PAN an eight-point lead over the PRI in Baja California, which borders the U.S. state of California.

VIOLENCE

The PAN's image has been hurt by public infighting since last year's national election defeat, when voters punished the party for failing to curb violence between warring drug cartels that has claimed more than 70,000 lives since 2007.

The bloodshed has continued under Pena Nieto's rule and the campaign for the July 7 elections was marred by the murder of a number of candidates.

Jesus Zambrano, chairman of the leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), the other main party in Pena Nieto's pact, demanded authorities clear up the killings, which have also claimed the lives of his party activists.

"In a big part of the states, organized crime is acting in favor of the PRI candidates," Zambrano said.

The PRI has persistently rejected such accusations.

Two more activists were killed over the weekend in Veracruz state, one belonging to the PRI and another to the PRD.

The Baja California election was deemed to be crucial for Madero's continuing leadership of the party. Any battle for control of the party could threaten the pact - a fact not lost on Mexicans looking to Pena Nieto to revive the economy.

"The most convenient thing would be for the PAN to win," said Pedro Feria, 32, an out-of-work lawyer who supports the PRI. "What I want is for them to focus on creating job opportunities. I've been looking for a year now."

The pact has already pushed education reforms and a shake-up of competition in the telecoms sector through Congress.

But the central planks of Pena Nieto's hopes to raise economic growth to 6 percent a year from an average of barely 2 percent since the millennium began are reforms to bolster tax revenues and open up Pemex to more private investment.

Those measures may be in doubt if the pact falls apart.

The PAN's Madero had laid the ground for a post-electoral fight, pinning accusations of vote buying, fraud and corruption against the PRI on a giant map of Mexico during the campaign.
