CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Todd Frazier and the Cincinnati Reds geared up for their big weekend series against the Pittsburgh Pirates -- yes, the Pirates -- by pounding the San Diego Padres. Alfred Morris Red Jersey . Frazier hit a two-run homer in a six-run second inning and Johnny Cueto overcame a pair of rare long balls to pitch into the eighth inning Thursday, leading the surging Reds to their 13th win in 14 games, 9-4 over the Padres. "You want to have big innings every game," Frazier said. "We had the big six-run second, and everybody contributed. We batted around." Scott Rolen had three hits, Frazier had three RBIs and Jay Bruce drove in two runs, helping push the Reds to 23 games over .500 (64-41) for the first time since Sept. 4, 2010. The Reds scored a combined 35 runs while taking three of four from San Diego and have won 20 of 23. They are 14-3 since All-Star first baseman Joey Votto left the lineup with a knee injury that required surgery and have won two straight since star second baseman Brandon Phillips was sidelined with a strained left calf. Reds manager Dusty Baker was relieved the offence picked it up. "We needed it," he said. "(The Padres) scored a lot of runs. They came in here swinging the bats good. You do what you need to do to score at least one more run than them." Cueto (14-5), who gave up home runs for the first time in more than two months, allowed eight hits and four runs with one walk. He also tied his season high with nine strikeouts in 7 1-3 innings while winning his career-high fifth consecutive start. He was hurt by leaving a couple of breaking balls up, catcher Ryan Hanigan said. "He pitched well," Hanigan said. "He wasnt as dominant as he can be, but he did a good job managing the game." Cincinnati opened a 3 1/2 game lead over idle Pittsburgh in the NL Central heading into a three-game weekend series between the two teams that is scheduled to start Friday. San Diego catcher Eddy Rodriguez enjoyed a memorable major league debut, hitting a home run in his first plate appearance, but the Padres couldnt avoid their third straight loss and fifth in their last six games. "It was amazing," Rodriguez said. "It was everything, more than I expected. The goal at the end is to get a W but it was a great experience, something that I will remember for the rest of my life." The Reds chased Padres starter Ross Ohlendorf while sending 12 batters to the plate during a six-hit, six-run second inning. Rolen started it with an infield hit. Frazier followed with his 13th homer and second in three games, a 408-foot drive into the left field seats. Hanigan added an RBI double and Bruce had a bases-loaded, two-run single. Ohlendorf (3-2) also was called for a run-scoring balk before leaving after just 1 2-3 innings, the shortest outing by a San Diego starter this season. Rodriguez, a former Reds minor leaguer who also has played in independent leagues, smacked a 1-2 pitch 416 feet into the left field seats for the first home run allowed by Cueto in 80 innings -- the longest stretch in the majors this season -- over 11 starts since Colorados Todd Helton homered on May 25 in Cincinnati. The homer was the first by a right-hander allowed by Cueto since Washingtons Ryan Zimmerman hit one on Aug. 17, 2011, a span of 169 innings. Chase Headley cut Cincinnatis lead in half with a two-run single later in the inning, and Cameron Maybin added his sixth homer, a 423-foot solo shot to left with one out in the fourth inning. But the Reds increased their lead to 8-4 on RBI singles by Rolen and Zack Cozart in the bottom of the inning. San Diego manager Bud Black couldnt complain about the San Diego offence. "I like the way we swung the bats," he said. "Weve got to get to that point that we put pressure on the opposition every inning. Thats every teams challenge. I do like the fact that, when weve gotten behind, we do come back. We have to sustain innings to score some runs, but there was the other end. Cueto is 14-5 for a reason." NOTES: The two teams combined to scored 52 runs in the four-game series. ... For the second time in four games, the Padres set a season high for hits and runs allowed in one inning. They gave up five of each in the third inning of Tuesdays game they ended up losing 7-6. ... San Diego went 3-7 on their fourth road trip of 10 or more games this season. The Padres open a six-game homestand Friday with the first of three against the Mets. ... Reds RHP Nick Masset was scheduled to pitch an inning for Class-A Dayton during a rehab assignment. Masset has been on the disabled list since spring training with a sprained right shoulder. Chris Chester Jersey . Quintanilla was designated for assignment by the Mets on Tuesday when they activated outfielder Jason Bay from the disabled list. Alfred Morris Elite Jersey . Maybe their Sept. 15 bout isnt such a gross size mismatch after all. Maybe Lopez really has another shot at an incredible upset. The matchup is the latest unlikely chapter for Lopez (30-4, 18 KOs), a virtually unknown fighter outside of his native Southern California before last month. http://www.nflredskinsfansstore.com/nike-pierre-garcon-Redskins-jersey/ . The best part for the As? Theyve even managed to creep into the American League wild-card race. Chris Carter and Yoenis Cespedes each homered and drove in three runs, powering the As past the Minnesota Twins 9-3 on Saturday. Kirk Cousins Red Jersey . 2 spot after suffering its first loss of the season on Saturday. Kansas State, the nations No. 1 team according to the computer composites, was the beneficiary of Floridas setback against Georgia, as the Wildcats pulled behind the Crimson Tide in the polls latest release.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Jack Nicklaus will always be linked with his four U.S. Open titles -- not just in the record book, but on the gold medal given to the winner. Starting this year, the U.S. Open champion will receive the "Jack Nicklaus Medal." The medal has been awarded to the winner every year since the U.S. Open began in 1895. It previously did not have a name. The winner also gets a silver trophy, which doesnt have a name. The USGA also announced it is adding 1,000 square feet to its museum for the Jack Nicklaus Room to celebrate a career that includes two U.S. Amateur titles, the four U.S. Opens and two U.S. Senior Opens. Nicklaus joins Bobby Jones, Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan and Mickey Wright as players with their own room at the USGA Museum at its headquarters in Far Hills, N.J. "Kind of neat, isnt it?" Nicklaus said. "Take an old guy and honour him. I think thats pretty nice. Its pretty humbling and meaningful." Nicklaus set the benchmark in professional golf with his 18 majors. He is best known for his six green jackets from the Masters, and he won five PGA Championships. Often overlooked is the history he has with the USGA and its championships -- from the U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur, the Walker Cup he played in Scotland, and even the U.S. Junior Amateur that he never won. "One of the core missions of the USGA is to preserve the history of the great game," USGA President Glen Nager said. "And in our instance, although its an ongoing story, there was a missing chapter in the USGA chronicling of that history, which was honouring the greatest golfer of all time. ... There was no greater honour we could think to give him and recognize the contributions that hes made to the game and to history than to name tthe medal that we give the winner every year. Ryan Kerrigan Authentic Jersey. Nicklaus played his first USGA event at age 13 in the 1953 U.S. Junior Amateur at Southern Hills. He recalls sauntering onto the tee about 30 seconds before his name was announced for his 7 a.m. tee time. He saw USGA executive director Joe Dey, who told him, "Young man, 30 seconds later and youll be starting on the second tee, 1 down." "That was my introduction to USGA golf," Nicklaus said. "I promise you, I was never late for a starting time." What appealed to him was a test like no other he faced in the 71 times he played in USGA events. "I always felt it was the complete and proper examination for the level of tournament that they were playing," he said. "We played the juniors, we expected the fairways to be a little bit narrower, and the rough to be modest, the greens to be fast, but not ridiculously firm. And then as we moved to the Amateur, it graduated up a little bit, a little narrower, and a little bit more rough. "As we got to the Open, obviously, we end up with a complete examination." Nicklaus won his first pro title at Oakmont in the 1962 U.S. Open when he took down Palmer in his backyard. Adding to the celebration of Nicklaus this week, the USGA has produced its first documentary, "Jacks First Major," which will be shown Sunday before the final round on NBC Sports. Nicklaus has his own museum in Columbus, Ohio, and will be sharing and giving some of the artifacts to the USGA. The expansion projection is expected to begin next summer and be ready in the spring of 2015. The room will look at his U.S. Open wins in 1962, 1967, 1972 and 1980, along with his two U.S. Amateur titles and other USGA events. ' ' ' |
