SAN DIEGO -- Edwin Jackson was hoping pitching at Petco Park would result in another solid start.But it didnt work out that way as he gave up four runs in a shaky first inning as the San Diego Padres lost 6-0 to the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night.Jackson (1-1), who tk a no-hitter into the seventh inning in his San Diego debut against visiting San Francisco on July 17, absorbed his first loss as a Padre.The Padres rotation is lking to the veteran Jackson to give its young staff some balance. The 11-year pro who was called up this month from Triple-A El Paso has become a key starter in a season in which the Padres traded James Shields, Drew Pomeranz, Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea.But Jackson wasnt able to deliver in the opener of this three-game set, giving up six runs and 10 hits in five innings.I left a couple of balls over the plate when I had chances to put people away, and I paid for it, Jackson said.Jacksons downfall was getting t many of his pitches elevated.I thought the first inning he was over the middle of the plate a little more than he cared to be, Padres manager Andy Green said. He caught a lot of the plate early on.Eugenio Suarez tied a career-high with four RBI and Brandon Finnegan pitched six scoreless innings to pace the Reds to their third victory in four games as the Padres were blanked for 12th time this season, tops in the majors.Michael Lorenzen and Blake Wd worked the final three innings to preserve the shutout.San Diego, which grounded into four double plays, also had its 25-game home run streak snapped that tied the National League record set by the 1998 Braves.You cant get t caught up in that, Green said. You just try to square the baseball up as often as you possibly can and we were able to do that for a long stretch.Finnegan (6- scattered four hits and sidestepped a few early jams before settling in. He walked three, but he struck out five in recording his third win in his last four decisions.In Jacksons final inning, the Reds tacked on two runs for a 6-0 advantage. Suarez notched a two-RBI single that scored Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips, both aboard via hits.The Padres had a chance to cut into their 4-0 deficit in the second inning when loading the bases with two outs. But Derek Norris lined out to Suarez at third to end the threat.Zack Cozarts one-out double in the first started the Reds off. Rkie left fielder Alex Dickerson, who had homered in four straight games, collided with center fielder Travis Jankowski on Cozarts drive into left-center and was forced to leave the game with a right hip contusion. He is day-to-day.Cozart scored on Jay Bruces sacrifice fly. Phillips followed with an RBI single and Suarez chased in two more with a double to left-center for a 4-0 advantage.TRAINERS RMReds: RHP Homer Bailey (right elbow) will exit the disabled list and start on Sunday against the Padres.Padres: RHP Tyson Ross (right shoulder, left ankle) continues to play catch, but theres no timetable for him to resume throwing from the mound.UP NEXTReds: RHP Anthony DeSclafani (6-0, 3.09) lks to win his fourth start of the second half when facing the Padres for the second time this season. He threw a career-high eight innings and allowed but five hits when beating San Diego on June 26.Padres: LHP Christian Friedrich (4-6, 5.00) has quickly become one of the rotations senior members after a flurry of trades. Friedrich is trying to rebound from a rocky outing in which he was charged with five runs and six hits against the Nationals on Sunday.Cheap Pistons Jerseys China .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.

Kershaw came away from that outing with continued back discomfort that originally surfaced June 26 following a start at Pittsburgh.Its significant that he played catch, manager Dave Roberts said. Were all excited about it. And when Clayton is ready hell be back. But the guys that are active, were focused on the guys we have active. And when Clayton comes back, were going to be that much better for it.While no target date was given for a potential Kershaw return, it did not sound like the left-hander would be back until around mid-September at the earliest. Roberts mentioned that instead of minor league rehab starts, Kershaw would throw in bullpens and live batting practice sessions to get back into game shape.That preparation route would be needed because Triple-A Oklahoma City, Double-A Tulsa and Singlle-A Rancho Cucamonga all end their regular seasons on Sept.dddddddddddd 5.Kershaw threw from about 60 to 65 feet in the outfield in left. He worked mostly out of the stretch at a deliberate pitch and was throwing about 70 percent of full velocity.[The next step] will be just a little further out, Roberts said. Just continue to get his intensity up and stretch him out a little more. Like Ive said all along, Clayton is not a guy we worry about in regard to the intensity, the intent to get back. Hell be back as sn as he possibly can.Kershaw is 11-2 with a 1.79 ERA in 16 starts this season. He has 145 strikeouts, a number that still leads the Dodgers, even though he hasnt pitched in five weeks. He has just nine walks in 121 innings.Even after the original injury, the setback and the dwindling timetable, Roberts has never lost hope that Kershaw would pitch again this season.Yeah, you know what, I think all along we have expected, and a little is being hopeful, but we expect him to make starts for us in September, Roberts said.
