SAN FRANCISCO -- Hector Sanchez is getting a lot more comfortable with his swing and his role on the Padres since coming off the disabled list almost two weeks ago.Hitting a home run against his former ballclub provided a lift, too.Sanchez homered and singled twice in his return to AT&T Park, and six San Diego pitchers combined on a five-hit shutout as the Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 4-0 Monday night.Its amazing to play in this ballpark, Sanchez said. Great fans, beautiful field. Sometimes in baseball you have to turn the page. I spent a lot of time with the Giants, had great memories. But when you come back here you have to turn the page and do the best you can do.Sanchez spent his first five seasons in San Francisco as a backup behind four-time All-Star catcher Buster Posey and had homered only twice previously at AT&T Park before hitting a 2-2 pitch from starter Jeff Samardzija (11-10) into the stands above the brick wall in right field with one out in the sixth.Its Sanchezs first three-hit game since May 17, 2014.That was crazy. I didnt expect the ball to go out, Sanchez said. I guess I put a good swing on it and lucky for me it went out.Yangervis Solarte drove in two runs and Luis Sardinas added two hits while helping the Padres to their fourth consecutive win over the Giants.It was a bitter loss for San Francisco, which dropped four games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West after trimming two games off the lead last weekend.With 19 games left, however, the Giants still lead the race for the leagues top wild card.We have not been consistent with our lineup, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. It sure looks bad to get shut out when you get back home the first day, but were staying behind these guys.Padres starter Paul Clemens (3-5) fought through flu symptoms earlier in the week and vomited between innings but still pitched five gritty innings to end San Franciscos three-game winning streak. The right-hander allowed three hits, walked one and struck out two.He actually held it together stuff-wise better today than he has in his previous couple of starts, San Diego manager Andy Green said. It was a cool night so Im sure that helped him, too. He was just very, very good under the circumstances.Solarte had an RBI single in the fourth and drove in another run in the fifth with a grounder.Hunter Pence had two hits for the Giants.SHARK BITTENSamardzija allowed four runs over six innings, struck out six and walked one. Not a terrible outing but one that quickly went south when Sanchez homered. It was only the second home run allowed by Samardzija in his last seven starts The two-run homer put a sour taste in my mouth with the way things were, Samardzija said. I left a splitter a little bit up in the zone and (Sanchez) was able to put a barrel on the ball.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: Green said RHP Tyson Ross (right shoulder inflammation) hasnt progressed as quickly as the team had hoped and isnt likely to pitch again this season.

Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days.

Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch.

Manny Pina Jersey . -- In one brief spurt, Brazil turned a close game into a rout and proved again it will be a strong World Cup favourite. PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Kyle Williams was so eager to practice for the first time in 10 months, the Buffalo Bills defensive tackle jumped offside on his third play from scrimmage.I think being out there and being excited to be back definitely played a role in that, Williams said Monday, before playfully blaming offensive coordinator Greg Roman. I think Roman did it on purpose with a hard count on first down being a jerk.Clearly joking, the 11-year veteran had reason to be upbeat following his first time back on the field since sustaining a season-ending left knee injury last October.The most uncomfortable thing was putting on my shoulder pads this morning, said Williams, who was cleared for practice after passing his physical.And then there was linebacker Brandon Spikes, who sat out last season and is getting a second chance at resuming his career after signing with the Bills on Sunday.I had to re-evaluate my life, get my priorities in order, said Spikes, who was sentenced to a year of probation in July 2015 after pleading guilty in a hit-and-run crash in which three people suffered minor injuries. The crash led to Spikes being released by New England after spending the 2014 season in Buffalo.I think I became a little complacent, and Ive never been that type of guy, said Spikes, who acknowledged that he perhaps should have re-signed with the Bills last year.Thats in the past. Im moving forward, he said. Im here to help this team, these younger guys and me personally get better.Newcomers and the return of familiar faces highlighted the day for the Bills, who resumed training camp in suburban Rochester following a day off.Also passing their physicals were starting defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and No. 1 receiver Sammy Watkins.Dareus missed the first 10 days of camp because of an undisclosed illness. Watkins was cleared four months after having surgery to repair a broken left foot.And Spikes wasnt the only newcomer to hit the field. The Bills on SSunday also signed linebacker David Hawthorne and tight end Jimmy Mundane.ddddddddddddThe defensive additions were prompted after rookie second-round draft pick Reggie Ragland injured his left knee on Friday.Coach Rex Ryan was still unable to provide a definitive update on the severity of the injury because he said the swelling in Raglands knee has not yet subsided.General manager Doug Whaley told The Associated Press that Ragland was scheduled to have follow-up tests within the next two days.The Bills were counting on Ragland and first-round pick, outside linebacker Shaq Lawson, to start this season.Lawson, however, had shoulder surgery in May and is projected to miss at least the first month of the season. Lawsons backup, Manny Lawson, isnt practicing either, and expected to miss the entire preseason with a torn pectoral muscle.As a result of injuries, the Bills havent had their projected starting 11 defenders on the field at the same time once this offseason.Thats a concern especially for a unit that was rebuilt this offseason to better suit Ryans philosophy after the defense underperformed last season. In Ryans first year as coach, Buffalo ranked 20th in the NFL in yards allowed and managed 21 sacks, a franchise low for a 16-game season.Ryan isnt worried.Well be where we want to go, Ryan said. I think by the time we kick it off for real, we should be in good shape.Williams expressed concern, wondering how the lack of practice time might hinder the younger players development.I dont think theres any denying its tough, because theyre young guys, theyre rookies, Williams said. They need as many reps as they can get.Game notes LT Cordy Glenn didnt practice after hurting his left ankle on Saturday. ...
