Paulo Sergio has tipped former club Hearts to see off Hibernian in the Scottish Cup this weekend while admitting he would jump at the chance to get back into management in Scotland. The Portuguese, who guided Hearts to their memorable 5-1 rout of their City rivals at Hampden in May 2012, missed out on a possible return to the Premiership this year but concedes he has a very good feeling about British footballing culture.He told Sky Sports News HQ: Hearts are favourites but as always when you are favourites you have to prove it on the pitch. Hibernian are used to winning games too because they are fighting to get promotion so its a team that is also playing good football. Sergio enjoys the acclaim of his players - and the supporters - at Hampden Park I believe it is going to be tight, its going to be difficult because Hibs are a team that are playing good football too, so the Hearts team has to be very, very focused and cant relax at any second.Reflecting on the Scottish Cup win over Hibs four years ago, he said: If you remember we were lots of times without getting paid, we sold important players in January. So the tightness and the strength of this group was amazing with young players and older ones helping a lot. For everybody it was a great, great memory. For me too it was the year that we played four times against the rivals in the city and I think its unique too because all four times we beat them. Robbie Neilson says Osman Sow could come back for one final hurrah against Hibs Having seen a job opportunity in Saudi Arabia fall through, Sergio - who left Hearts just three weeks after the Cup success - revealed he let a recent opportunity to return to Scotland slip through his fingers. Sergio admits he loved the atmosphere and respect he enjoyed across Scotland I had a phone call from a Scottish club this year but in the end it was my fault, he said. The chairman was waiting to speak with me on Skype but I had people in my house and after this I didnt speak with the chairman but I would love to have a chance to return to the UK for sure.I love the atmosphere of singing, people supporting the players. I always respect everybody so I always felt respected in Edinburgh and when I came here to Hampden, Ibrox or to Celtic Park to see games. So I have a very good feeling about football here and I would love to get the chance to do my work, my career here in the UK.Watch Hearts v Hibernian in the Scottish Cup, live on Sky Sports 2 HD from 12pm on Sunday.

SEATTLE -- Nelson Cruz reached another home run milestone, this time with a shot that left no doubt where it was going to land.I thought it might be out of the stadium from the angle I was sitting, Seattle manager Scott Servais said.Cruz hit his 20th home run of the season, Robinson Cano had three hits including an RBI single and the Mariners beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 on Tuesday night.Seattle won for the third time in four games thanks to an offense that finished with 12 hits and a key walk in the fifth inning that started the Mariners three-run rally.While Cruzs home run was the big blow of the fifth inning, the biggest at-bat came from Franklin Gutierrez. With two outs, Gutierrez was able to work a 10-pitch walk off Pittsburgh starter Jonathon Niese (6-6). Gutierrez advanced to second on a wild pitch then came around to score on Canos third hit.It really started it all. Two out, nobody on and a walk. Amazing how that works, Servais said. We talk about it, its really what we did a lot earlier in the season and I think this whole homestand has been better.Cruz then followed with a line shot just fair down the line. It was his 11th homer this season off a left-hander, and Cruz became the only current player with at least 20 home runs in every season since 2009. David Ortiz and Brian McCann can also reach that mark this season.Its just being able to play a lot of games, Cruz said. Its how you put the numbers (up). You dont just throw it out there. You have to play games to be able to put up numbers. Youre thinking as a player how to stay healthy and play as many games.Niese didnt make it out of the fifth for his shortest outing of the season.I thought I had some pretty good stuff early, just at the end everything went flat, Niese said.Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma (7-6) took a shutout into the seventh inning before giving up a pair of runs. Iwakuma has pitched into the seventh in six of his past seven starts. Without his normally sharp splitter, the veteran relied heavily on a slow curveball that kept Pittsburgh off-balance.Chris (Iannetta) had a lot of confidence in it in the bullpenn.dddddddddddd He called it a lot, I didnt shake and it worked out well, Iwakuma said through an interpreter.Iwakuma was nearly perfect through the sixth, facing just one batter over the minimum and allowing two hits. He ran into trouble in the seventh, beginning with Gregory Polancos leadoff double. Polanco scored on Starling Martes triple to deep right-center field, and Marte scored on David Freeses two-out single. Iwakuma was lifted after giving up a base hit to Adam Frazier, the fourth hit of the inning.Edwin Diaz got out of the jam in the seventh and pitched a perfect eighth. Steve Cishek pitched the ninth for his 18th save.SEE YA!Pittsburgh hitting coach Jeff Branson was ejected by home plate umpire Ben May arguing a strike call on the first pitch of the fifth inning. Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle soon followed, getting ejected after a brief argument with May after Branson had been tossed.I didnt think it was warranted, so once he threw (Branson) I went out and let him know that this was a little continuation of what weve been dealing with too much, Hurdle said.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: RHP Gerrit Cole (triceps strain) threw a 35-pitch bullpen on Tuesday and threw fastballs and off-speed pitches.
