SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Padres showed off what was old and new in their 12-3 rout of the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday.Edwin Jackson, a 14-year veteran, pitched seven scoreless innings and had an RBI double, and rookie right fielder Jabari Blash got his first major league home run.First one, Blash said. Hopefully many to come.It was a winning mixture of experience and youth, pitching and offense which let the Padres claim this three-game series.Jackson (2-2) retired the first 11 batters he faced, and the Brewers didnt put a runner in scoring position until Kirk Nieuwenhuis doubled in the fifth. Never mind he wasnt confident about his pitches.Its kinda fun when you go out and you feel like you dont necessarily have you best stuff, its kinda when you have games like this, said Jackson, who is pitching for his 11th team. You go out and try to be more productive and youre not trying to do too much.Jackson signed a minor-league contract with the Padres in June after starting the season in Miamis bullpen. He gave up three runs -- two on Ryan Brauns homer -- and eight hits with five strikeouts in eight innings.The Padres made it 8-0 on Yangervis Solartes two-run homer in the sixth. Blash homered in the two-run seventh.Junior Guerra (7-3) had a rare rough second-half outing, allowing four runs in the first two innings in a four-inning stint. Guerra had won four of his last five starts.Some days you have good days and some days you have bad days, Guerra said through a translator. Unfortunately it was a bad day for me and I have to keep working hard.For Jackson, it was a good one.If he stays away from walking people, theres not been many times in his career where hes gotten consistently hit, Padres manager Andy Green said. He was in the zone from the first pitch and stayed there though the eighth inning. He was outstanding.Padres rookie center fielder Travis Jankowski had another productive day with two hits, two runs, a walk and two stolen bases. For the series, he was 6 for 11 with five stolen bases and five runs.When Travis is setting the table and hes in that mindset, hes proving to be dynamic right now, Green said. The stolen bases, wrecking havoc, hes a great guy to have at the top of the order.The Padres struck early, scoring three first-inning runs, thanks in part to Guerras two walks. The big blow was a two-run single by Christian Bethancourt. San Diego added to its cushion to 4-0 in the third when Alex Dickersons bloop double to left field scored Solarte.San Diegos rally came after the Brewers challenged Myers slide into second base on a double-play attempt. The Brewers contended that Myers went out of his way to upend shortstop Orlando Arcia.I wasnt sure that we would win the appeal, that he changed his path, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. But it was a run scored so it was worth taking a shot.But did the roughly five-minute delay hamper Guerra?We talk about how important it is for starting pitchers to get into a rhythm, Counsell said. After that they got to him and he had to battle.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: RHP Tyson Ross (right shoulder, left ankle) reported no setbacks a day after an abbreviated throwing session off the mound. Theres a chance Ross, who last pitched on opening day, will return before the seasons end.UP NEXTBrewers: RHP Chase Anderson (6-10, 5.13) makes his second career start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday as Milwaukee continues its six-game road trip. Anderson, who beat Arizona on July 25, aims for his third straight win despite having no quality starts over his last eight outings.Padres: LHP Christian Friedrich (4-6, 4.72) looks to recapture the form he flashed when winning three straight decisions in May and June as he faces the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. Hes coming off a rocky outing, surrendering five runs on six hits in three innings against the Washington Nationals on July 24.

Carolina Hurricanes Gear . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. https://www.cheaphurricanes.com/ .

Three years ago, Karen Khachanov made a terrific first impression in Moscow, beating No. 27-ranked Janko Tipsarevic to advance to his first ATP World Tour quarterfinal. The 17-year-old lost there to Ivo Karlovic and, soon thereafter, began to lose himself.In 2014, I had to start again from the beginning, Khachanov told ESPN.com this week from Chengdu, China. After that result, I had so much noise around me -- friends, players, journalists. I thought it was going to be easy, but the next year showed me it was not.How times have changed. Last week, Khachanov (pronounced Hach-a-nov) played his third career quarterfinal match. This time, the promising Russian, now 20, advanced from that stage for the first time.He took down the still-formidable No. 4 seed, Feliciano Lopez, then No. 6 Viktor Troicki in the semifinals and No. 5 Albert Ramos-Vinolas in a dramatic, come-from-behind final. In the breathtaking span of a week, he beat five players ranked among the top 62.Khachanov, the unlikely Chengdu Open champion, moved 46 spots in the ATP rankings, to No. 55 from 101. He readily conceded he wasnt ready for success at 17.After three years I am now more mature and have improved a lot, Khachanov said. I am a completely different player at this level.Hes the ninth first-time winner on tour this year, the biggest pool of victorious neophytes in five years. Moreover, Khachanov is the third member of the ATPs #NextGen to enter the winners circle, joining Nick Kyrgios and Alexander Zverev. There are only two younger players ranked ahead of Khachanov, No. 24 Zverev and No. 42 Borna Coric, who are both 19.Khachanov showed remarkable resilience in his 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 6-3 win against Ramos-Vinolas. The match ran 2 hours, 39 minutes, and the Russian finished with a narrow point margin of 111-109 and 14 aces.According to Ramos-Vinolas, the difference was Khachanovs serving.He was serving so well and so fast, Ramos-Vinolas told the press afterward. Thats why I didnt return so well.At 6-foot-6, 194 pounds, the aggressive Khachanov has a thumping serve and a forehand to match -- like his idol, two-time Grand Slam champion Marat Safin. He said both weapons have to get bigger and more consistent, althouugh his favorite shot is the down-the-line backhand.ddddddddddddAfterward, Khachanov said he couldnt believe he had won his first title.I have been working hard, he said, and I am happy to achieve my first goal.This was the kind of performance Khachanov and his coaches have envisioned for several years.At the age of 15, he left Russia to train with Vedran Martic, Goran Ivanisevics former coach, in Croatia. Since then, Khachanov has been based in Barcelona for the past three years, learning the nuances of the game under Galo Blanco, who was Milos Raonics early tutor.Khachanov is a lithe, natural athlete who first picked up a racket at the age of 3. He played basketball in Russia at the national level as a high-schooler. His hobbies include reading and chess, and hes working toward an online degree in physical education from the University of Moscow.He had planned to travel to Tokyo this week to try to qualify, but the run at Chengdu changed those plans and sent him a few days early to Shanghai (which starts next week), where hell try to qualify his way into the main draw of the seasons final Masters 1000 event. It will be his 27th tournament of the season.Mastering the many components of professional tennis takes time. Novak Djokovic won the 2008 Australian Open at the age of 20, but waited three years for his second major title. Kei Nishikori broke through with his first title, at Delray Beach, at the age of 18. It was more than four years before he won again.In becoming the first Russian man to win a title since Mikhail Youzhny three years ago, Khachanov will face some of the same raised expectations experienced by Zverev, Coric and Kyrgios.Now, Khachanov said, hes ready.Ive been working hard, and Ive improved a lot, for sure, the mental and psychological aspect.He declined to reveal any personal goals.I will continue to practice, listen to coach and play the tournaments, Khachanov said. The main thing is to focus on the game and see how it goes.If he does that, in time he could blossom into the top-10 player that some tennis observers are predicting. ' ' '
