veras had a pinch-hit single in the eighth. The Cardin

ST. LOUIS -- Lance Lynn needed only 16 days to get even with the San Diego Padres. The St. Louis right-hander pitched six strong innings to help the Cardinals beat the Padres 4-2 on Friday night for their third straight win. Matt Adams, Kolten Wong and Oscar Taveras hit RBI singles for St. Louis. San Diego has lost two in a row after a five-game winning streak. Lynn (13-8) gave up one run and six hits, striking out six and walking one. The Padres handed him a 3-1 defeat on July 29. Lynn actually felt as though he pitched better in San Diego last month when he allowed one earned run and four hits over six innings. "Tonight was a grind from the get-go," Lynn said. "It could have been better." St. Louis manager Mike Matheny disagreed, saying Lynn was at the top of his game. "Lance was great," he said. "Another good night of using his fastball, mixing in the two-seam and four-seam. He had a real nice feel for all of his pitches." Lynn has allowed two runs or fewer in 11 of his last 13 starts. "He just goes out there and battles every day and gives us solid starts," Wong said. "You have a pitcher like that, it definitely increases the morale of the team and makes us want to continue to play well." The Padres took a grind-it-out approach at the plate, fouling off 21 pitches in Lynns 102-pitch stint. Pat Neshek posted his fourth save. Regular closer Trevor Rosenthal was given the night off after two successive appearances. Pinch-hitter Yasmani Grandal homered with two outs in the ninth for the Padres. After Chris Nelson doubled, Neshek struck out Will Venable. Tyson Ross (11-11) gave up three runs and five hits over six innings. He walked four and hit two batters. Ross walked the first three batters in the first, and Adams hit an RBI single. Jhonny Peralta followed with a run-scoring groundout. "I didnt have fastball command the first inning," Ross said. "It was that simple. I put myself in a big hole, and they capitalized on it." Wong pushed the lead to 3-0 with an RBI single in the fourth. It was his team-high 27th RBI with two outs. San Diego got within 3-1 on a double by Venable in the fifth. Lynn retired Tommy Medica and Seth Smith with runners on second and third to preserve the lead. The Padres have scored in the ninth inning in the first two games of the series. "These guys play hard," San Diego manager Bud Black said of the Cardinals. "They play all 54 outs and beyond at times. Thats just the way we play. Its what we do." Taveras had a pinch-hit single in the eighth. The Cardinals are 22-7 at home against San Diego since 2006. TRAINERS ROOM Padres: 1B Yonder Alonso is on the 15-day disabled list after straining his right forearm in Tuesdays 4-1 win over the Rockies. It is his second stint on the DL this season. He missed 30 games with right wrist tendinitis from June 19 to July 26. Cardinals: C Yadier Molina was able to do some light throwing on Thursday, 35 days after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb. Matheny indicated that Molina is progressing at a faster rate than first expected. He was projected to miss eight to 12 weeks, but appears ahead of schedule. "I cant wait to grab a bat and see how the hand reacts," Molina said.

Sean Taylor Jersey . -- For one night, Nick Calathes provided a big reason to believe the Memphis Grizzlies might be able to withstand the loss of Mike Conley on a short-term basis. http://www.cheapredskinsjerseysauthentic...-riggins-jersey. After missing 20 games as a rookie a year ago, Valanciunas - like the Raptors as a whole - has been fortunate to be in good health this season. As he spoke about it, the Raptors sophomore centre scanned the room for wood to knock on. "It is disappointing because we lost today so thats the worst part of the day," said Valanciunas, who left Tuesdays game with a lower-back sprain in the third quarter, missing the rest of Torontos 118-113 overtime defeat at the hands of the Hawks. Wes Martin Jersey . Today, well look at five frontcourt players today, here from the Bay Area. 1. AMIR JOHNSON (Raptors): I cant figure out what the issue or problem is, but based upon what Im seeing, hes not right. Sam Huff Jersey . They find themselves trying to knock each other out in the Western Conference finals for the second straight year. The Blackhawks prevailed last year on their way to the Stanley Cup, and they have the early lead this time after taking the opener, 3-1.What a difference a year makes. With Opening Day less than a week away, the excitement surrounding the Toronto Blue Jays is much different than it was a year ago. Going into last season, many believed this team could win the World Series, or at the very least, make the playoffs for the first time in 20 years. This, of course, never came to fruition and the Jays have gone from pre-season favourites to almost an afterthought in the baseball world. Their window to win with this group of players might only have a season or two left, so the time to be successful is now. Having said that, what are your expectations for the 2014 Toronto Blue Jays? The Jays Opening Day roster wont look drastically different from 2013. Aside from losing the much-maligned J.P. Arencibia (replacing him with Dioner Navarro) to the Texas Rangers and Josh Johnson to the San Diego Padres, the Jays have pretty much stood pat. Will another year of the same crew result in a similar outcome, or, with a season together already under their belts, is it possible Toronto can find their grove and be a competitive ball club?? The pitching rotation has been a major question mark this spring with R.dddddddddddd. Dickey, Mark Buehrle, and the oft-injured Brandon Morrow returning to this years staff. Youngster Drew Hutchison, 23, who missed last season due to Tommy John surgery and long-time Blue Jay Dustin McGowan round out the rotation. Will the Jays go as far as their starters take them? How much faith do you have in this group to stay healthy and produce wins? It looks as though the AL East is as strong as its ever been with the Orioles, Yankees, Red Sox and Rays making improvements to their ball clubs over the off-season. Are the Jays good enough to compete in the toughest division in baseball? There is the opinion that the expectations – and pressure – were so high for the team in 2013, that they were set up to fail. With the team not having the weight of the world on their shoulders this time around, its possible the team could pull a 180 and play like they were supposed to last year. So, what are you expecting from the Toronto Blue Jays in 2014? As always, its Your! Call.
