PITTSBURGH -- San Diego left-hander Eric Stults entered Saturday nights game in Pittsburgh winless on the road in 12 starts. Authentic Delon Wright Jersey . He got his first road win of the season, going 6 1-3 innings as the San Diego Padres beat the Pirates 2-1 on Saturday night. "Its nice to just have a win," Stults said. "This year has been a little frustrating." Stults (5-13) gave up one run and seven hits, struck out six and walked none. He entered the game with an 0-9 record away from Petco Park. The Padres scored both runs in the first inning off Francisco Liriano (3-. San Diego loaded the bases with no outs and scored on Jedd Gyorkos RBI single and Yasmani Grandals sacrifice fly. Pittsburgh answered in the home half when Josh Harrison led off with a single, stole second and scored on Russell Martins RBI single. Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle chalked up Lirianos arduous first inning to a spot of bad luck. "A few well-placed ground balls," Hurdle said. "The hit batter didnt help, that was the one misstep." After Gyorkos single Liriano retired the next 19 batters he faced before walking Grandal with two outs in the seventh. He gave up three hits and a walk in seven innings. San Diego manager Bud Black, a former pitching coach, noted the effects to which each starter used his changeup. "I thought that was the key for both pitchers to keep that score at 2-1 basically the entire game," Black said. "It was a very deserving win for Stultsy because he matched a guy who had us handcuffed after the first inning." Jared Hughes pitched a scoreless eighth for Pittsburgh. Hughes hit Tommy Medica in the back of the head with a pitch to load the bases. Medica left the game. "We caught a break there," Black said. "It was a hard fastball with velocity and movement but fortunately he was evaluated by the Pirates team doctor (Edward Snell) and checked out fine. Obviously, it was good that he got on his feet and could walk off on his own." The Pirates put men on second and third with no outs in the eighth but failed to score against Kevin Quackenbush. Joaquin Benoit struck out two in a scoreless ninth for his fifth save. TRAINERS ROOM Padres: Right-hander Andrew Cashner (shoulder) made his first rehab start for Single-A Lake Elsinore on Friday night and threw 24 pitches over two scoreless innings. Black said Cashners velocity was normal and he received good reports. Cashner is slated to throw a side session with Elsinore on Monday and then make his second rehab start with Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday. Pirates: Center fielder Andrew McCutchen (rib) missed his fifth straight game. ... Second baseman Neil Walker (back) could be nearing a return to the starting lineup after participating in batting practice and field work before each of the last two games. He pinch-hit in the ninth inning, his first action since Tuesday. ON DECK Padres: Right-hander Tyson Ross (10-10, 2.62 ERA) looks to continue his strong season as the Padres wrap up their five-game trip. Ross is among the league leaders in innings this season with 154 2-3. He had thrown at least six innings in 18 of his 22 starts this season. Pirates: Right-hander Charlie Morton (5-10, 3.43 ERA) attempts to stay undefeated against San Diego. The sinkerballer is 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA in four career starts against the Padres, with the latest win coming in Pittsburgh 10-3 at Petco Park June 2 with Morton allowing two runs in five innings. ACROSS THE DIAMOND Pittsburgh third baseman Pedro Alvarez, removed from the bereavement list Friday, has taken infield work at first base before the Pirates games each of the last two days. The move is a potential solution to get Alvarezs bat back in the regular lineup while reducing the risks associated with his league-high 23 throwing errors. "Maybe this move can free him up offensively and defensively," Hurdle said. "Hes willing to give it a shot. Time will tell." Alvarez was an All-Star in 2013 and tied for the league lead with 36 home runs a year ago, but the plague of throwing errors has dropped him out of regular duty in 2014. Alvarez recognizes the value of giving his team flexibility, but would like to stay at the position hes regularly played since he was 12 years old if he had it his way. "The desire to be the best third baseman I can be is still in play," Alvarez said. DeMarre Carroll Raptors Jersey . Of course that doesnt mean hes ignoring it. Thats actually rather impossible given the behind-the-scenes access to the Toronto Maple Leafs the network is getting. Delon Wright Jersey . Hernandez (3-0) struck out 11 and shut down Oakland for the second time in a week, becoming the first Mariners pitcher to win three times in the first nine games of a season. With the usual "Kings Court" for Hernandez home starts expanded to a "Supreme Court" encompassing the entire stadium with yellow shirts and "K" cards, Hernandez gave up four hits in the 28th double-digit strikeout game of his career. http://www.raptorsnbateamshop.com/terrence-ross-raptors-jersey/ . Ricciardos exclusion from the results tarnished what had been a day of celebration for local fans, who were jubilant that the Red Bull driver had apparently become the first Australian to finish on the podium at his home race. However just before midnight, stewards ruled that Ricciardos car had "exceeded consistently the maximum allowed fuel flow" and that the team refused an instruction from the races technical delegate Charlie Whiting to change the fuel-flow sensor before the race and a further request during the race to reduce the fuel flow.Jim Harbaugh and San Francisco 49ers have decided to part ways after four seasons together. The two sides mutually decided on Sunday Harbaugh would not return as head coach for the 2015 NFL Season. The decision was announced within an hour of the 49ers defeating the Arizona Cardinals. The coach has been repeatedly linked to the University of Michigan. Jim and I have come to the conclusion that it is in our mutual best interest to move in different directions, 49ers CEO Jed York said in a statement. Harbaugh is just two years removed from a Super Bowl loss against the Baltimore Ravens and led the team to three straight NFC Championship appearances from 2011-2013. “We accomplished many great things together as a team during this period, Harbaaugh added, which is a tribute to the incredible efforts of some of the most dedicated players and coaches in the NFL. Terrence Ross Jersey. I will miss competing alongside this group of players and coaches, I have the utmost respect and admiration for their hard work and support. 2014 was the 49ers first season under Harbaugh in which they missed the playoffs since he was hired in 2011. The 51-year-old leaves the Bay area with a 44-19-1 record. York concluded the teams statement with a note on the future, adding the team is now squarely focused on finding the next head coach of the 49ers. With the great leaders and talented players we have in our locker room, we are ready to move into the next chapter of our team’s history, York said. NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
