WASHINGTON -- By the time the 12th inning rolled around, the San Diego Padres were without third baseman Chase Headley -- his strained calf could send him to the disabled list -- and left fielder Seth Smith, who hurt a groin muscle. Buddy Hield Jersey . The Padres were on their way to using a total of 20 players, including seven pitchers. Well, seven on the mound, and one in left field. Andrew Cashner briefly filled in for Smith before manager Bud Black made a double-switch. So it was quite a relief when Xavier Nady delivered a tiebreaking RBI single off Craig Stammen in the top of the 12th to give San Diego a 4-3 victory over the Washington Nationals on Thursday night. "This was an interesting one, for sure," Black said. "This was one where you really had to be creative as it went along." Nady, who entered the game in right field in the ninth, bounced a 2-0 fastball up the middle off Stammen (0-1), who was working his third inning. "Im the last man standing. Whatever happens, happens. Ive got to live with it," Stammen said. "I left it up a little bit, but he put it in a good spot." Jedd Gyorko singled, stole second and got to third when catcher Jose Lobatons throw sailed into the outfield for an error, then scored on Nadys hit. "As soon as I threw the ball," Lobaton said, gritting his teeth, "I was like, Ah, that was a bad throw." Alex Torres (1-0) got two outs in the 11th for the win, and Houston Street worked around Bryce Harpers leadoff double in the 12th for his eighth save. The game ended when Lobaton lined out to shortstop Everth Cabrera, who flipped the ball to second base to double off Harper. "It was sort of ironic that we were sort of worried about Harper stealing third," Black explained, "and so we tried to keep Cabby a little bit tighter to Harper, and sure enough the ball was hit in the hole." The Nationals went 0 for 16 with runners in scoring position and left 14 men on base. The only 1-2-3 innings for Padres pitching were the second and 11th. "Theres just something in you, when your backs against the wall a little bit, youve got to reach back and really give your best shot and throw your best pitches," said Tim Stauffer, who threw 2 1-3 scoreless innings in relief of Eric Stults. "I think as a whole we were able to do that today." Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa said: "Its easy to press. You want to come through for your team." He hit a solo homer in the sixth, and Adam LaRoche added one in the seventh to help Washington pull even after trailing 3-1. But the Padres never did let the Nationals go ahead from there. Headley left in the middle of the second inning, and Black said: "That looks as though thats probably going to be a DL." Smith departed in the 11th but the manager didnt think his problem will send him to the disabled list. In the top of the ninth, San Diegos Yonder Alonso walked, then tried to steal second and initially was ruled safe. But Nationals manager Matt Williams challenged the call, which was overruled on review; replays showed that Alonsos front leg was in the air as he slid and his foot didnt touch the bag before he was tagged. Nationals starter Jordan Zimmermann allowed three runs and five hits in six innings. Stults gave up 10 hits but only two runs in his 5 1-3 innings. "When I was done," Stults said, "it seemed like I kind of pitched yesterday." NOTES: Nationals LHP Gio Gonzalez felt "normal, after-a-start soreness" Thursday and would get plenty of treatment, Williams said. Gonzalez was pulled in the sixth inning after only 83 pitches Wednesday because his left shoulder felt tight. "Im not concerned about it. I dont think he is, either, really," Williams said. "We want to be careful, but we dont think theres any major concern there." ... Washington RHP Doug Fister, on the 15-day DL with a back muscle problem, threw 40 pitches in a bullpen session Thursday and is scheduled to make his first minor league rehab start Sunday, probably at Class-A Potomac. ... Padres LF Carlos Quentin, on the 15-day DL with a bone bruise in his left knee, is expected to report to extended spring training in Arizona this weekend. ... On Friday, Nationals RHP Stephen Strasburg (1-2, 5.33) will face Padres LHP Robbie Erlin (1-2, 4.15). Clyde Lovellette Jersey . These teams will see plenty of each other in the next few weeks as three of the Canucks next nine games are against the Wild (after today they meet February 9th in Minnesota and again February 16th at Rogers Arena). Guy Rodgers Jersey . "I never commented to anyone that I wanted out," he explained. "My heart is with this group and making the playoffs." Kesler added that the rumours are "completely false" that he asked to be traded - recently or ever. https://www.cheapkingsbasketball.com/1422b-harrison-barnes-jersey-kings.html . Berkman almost left the game last off-season before signing with the Texas Rangers. He then had another injury-plagued season and was limited to 73 games.LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Losses are piling up for the Chicago Bears and now the injuries are, too. Wide receiver Brandon Marshall has been ruled out for the Dec. 15 home game against the New Orleans Saints due to two fractured ribs and a lung injury. According to a report from ESPN, Marshall will sit the Bears remaining three games this season. The Bears have other injuries to consider in addition to a 5-8 record that has coach Marc Trestman fielding questions about his future with the team. Marshall was taken to the hospital by ambulance after leaving Thursday nights 41-28 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the second quarter. He was hit in the right side by the knee of Dallas defensive back Barry Church after making a catch. I went over to the hospital last night to see him, Trestman said Friday. He was in very good spirits. Hes got some healing to do, obviously, and hell be out for the week certainly and well see where he is as we move along. But he had a smile on his face. He was in good spirits. Whether Marshall plays again this year will depend on further evaluation of his injuries, according to a team spokesman. Trestman said both Marquess Wilson and Josh Morgan are options to replace Marshall in the Monday night game with New Orleans. One player Trestman is more certain will start against New Orleans is quarterback Jay Cutler. With the team likely to be eliminated from any mathematical playoff chances either Sunday or the following week, Trestman said he has no intention of starting backup Jimmy Clausen just to take a look at him. Jay is our quarterback, Trestman said. If hes available to play, hes going to play. Chicaagos chief goal on offence going forward will be to find a way to run the ball after back-to-back efforts of 15 and 35 rushing yards. Brad Miller Jersey. Trestman and the coaching staff received criticism for a franchise-low eight rushes the previous week against Detroit and the Bears ran just 15 times against Dallas. Theyve given us run plays and we havent made those blocks and gotten positive yards on those runs, centre Roberto Garza said. So we have to be able to go out there and get positive yards every time they call a run to be able to keep running the football. Defensively, the Bears appear to be in shambles after they gave up a season-worst 194 rushing yards Thursday, but had been yielding yardage through the air at an alarming rate prior to the loss to Dallas. Injuries continue to plague the defence. Safety Chris Conte, bothered by concussions, eye and shoulder injuries this season, left Thursdays game with a back injury. Its led to questions about whether Conte is physically able to play football. He loves football, he wants to play football, Trestman said. When hes cleared to play, we play him. After an 8-8 record his first year and a 5-8 start this year, Trestman and his assistants are fielding questions about the future of the staff. It happened after Thursdays game and his response was simply he has work to do rather than worry about outside talk. On Friday, Trestman said he still has support at Halas Hall from those he called key parties, chiefly general manager Phil Emery. Its been tremendously supportive, during the good weeks and bad weeks, he said. And its been extremely consistent by everybody here. ' ' '
