Valencia, Spain (SportsNetwork.com) - Lionel Messi will look to carry some momentum into Barcelonas potentially tricky fixture against Valencia at the Mestalla on Sunday. The Argentine attacker enjoyed a banner week, breaking the all-time La Liga scoring record in Barcelonas 5-1 rout of Sevilla before claiming the all-time Champions League scoring record in his very next match. Messis resurgence appears to be coming at the right time as Barcelona, which had started the season with an eight-game unbeaten run in league play, has fallen out of top spot in La Liga. A dip in form saw the Catalans drop two straight in league play, but as Messi goes, so too does Barcelona. And with a hat trick in back-to-back outings, Messi appears poised to guide Barcelona to another league victory, this time against a Valencia side that is winless in its last two league contests. Valencia had won two straight to climb as high as second place, but a draw with Athletic Bilbao was followed by a loss to Levante, dropping the club to fourth place in the table with 24 points through 12 games. Atletico Madrid has taken advantage of the slip-up as Diego Simeones side has advanced to third place in the top flight. The club responded well to 2-1 loss to Real Sociedad, claiming a comfortable win over Malaga last time out to move ahead of Valencia. Atletico will go for a second straight league win on Sunday when the club takes on Deportivo at the Vicente Calderon. Rounding out Sundays action, Villarreal will travel to struggling Cordoba, which enters the weekend in last place, and Sevilla will aim to snap a three- game winless run when it plays host to Granada. While Atletico, Valencia and Barcelona will be aiming to climb higher up the table, they will merely be chasing a surging Real Madrid side. Carlo Ancelottis men sit firmly atop the table and have dismantled opponents in recent weeks, cruising to a nine-game winning run in league play by a combined score of 37-4. They will attempt to maintain their sublime form when they head to La Rosaleda on Saturday to face Malaga. Levante and Espanyol will do battle at the Estadi Cornella-El Prat on Saturday while Celta Vigo plays host to Eibar and Athletic Bilbao travels to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez to face Getafe. Mondays lone contest will pit Rayo Vallecano against Almeria at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos while Fridays match saw Carlos Vela net a hat trick to lead Real Sociedad to a 3-0 win over Elche.

James Paxton pitched seven scoreless innings of two-hit ball and Cano drove in his first run for the Mariners on Wednesday night in an 8-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels, completing a three-game sweep in the teams first series under new manager Lloyd McClendon. "The last couple of years, a lot of us guys were younger and going through battles and learning some things," first baseman Justin Smoak said. "Now its time for guys who have been here the last couple of years to step up." Smoak, Mike Zunino and Corey Hart all homered for Seattle, which outscored the Angels 26-8 while sweeping a season-opening three-game set for only the second time in their 38-year history. The other time was in 1985, when they started out 6-0 at home against Oakland and Minnesota before losing 12 of their next 13. "We had a lot of confidence coming in," Smoak said. "Weve got a great pitching staff. Paxton, Erasmo (Ramirez) and Felix (Hernandez) pitched their butts off and gave us a chance to win, and we were able to score some runs. Now we have to keep it going." It was the first time the Angels were swept in a three-game series to start a season since 1992, by the Chicago White Sox at Anaheim. "Thats obviously not the way we wanted to come out and open this thing up," said Angels third baseman David Freese. "They all count, but its a long season and well bounce back. Theres a lot of guys in this clubhouse that understand what a baseball season consists of, and sometimes this happens." Paxton (1-0) threw 99 pitches in his fifth big league start and struck out nine, including Josh Hamilton all three times he faced him. Hamilton also struck out against Nector Noesi for the final out after Noesi game up Mike Trouts RBI triple and Freeses sacrifice fly. Paxton stranded a runner at third base in the first with the help of centre fielder Abraham Almonte, who raced in to make a sliding catch on Freeses sinking liner for the third out. He escaped another jam in the fourth by fanningg Hamilton and Howie Kendrick with two men on, then struck out the side in the fifth.dddddddddddd Paxton became the second pitcher in Mariners history to win four of his first five big league starts. The other was Michael Pineda, who did it in 2011. Paxton, a Canadian-born left-hander, was 3-0 with a 1.50 ERA four starts last September. "I just got in a groove and felt really good," Paxton said. "Probably around the third inning, I kind of found my rhythm and everything was coming together really well for me." Hector Santiago (0-1) was charged with four runs, four hits and three walks in five-plus innings. The 26-year-old left-hander, beginning his first full season as a starter, was acquired in December along with Tyler Skaggs from Arizona in a three-way trade with the Chicago White Sox that sent slugger Mark Trumbo to the Diamondbacks. Seattle scored 18 of their runs in this series with two outs. Cano, who left the New York Yankees after nine seasons to sign a 10-year, $240 million free agent contract, finished his first series in a Seattle uniform 5 for 11 with two intentional walks. "His presence definitely affects any lineup," Freese said. "I mean, you look up and down that lineup and its a complete lineup." Brad Miller, who homered twice for the Mariners in Tuesdays 8-3 win, legged out a double to right with two outs in the third and came home on Canos single. Miller drove in the second run with a two-out single in the fifth. The Mariners broke it open with four runs in the sixth, as Stefan Romero greeted Fernando Salas with an RBI double and Zunino hit his sixth big league homer. Smoak and Hart both homered with two outs in the ninth against Ernesto Frieri. NOTES: Santiagos only other start at Angel Stadium came with the White Sox on May 18, 2013, when he allowed three runs and four hits over 3 1-2 innings in a no-decision. ... The Angels begin a four-game series Friday night at Houston. The Astros won the season series 10-9 last year, despite finishing a major league-worst and franchise-worst 51-111 after switching over from the NL to the AL. ...
