SAN DIEGO -- Jean Seguras big night at the plate and a solid outing from Zack Grienke werent enough to get the Arizona Diamondbacks a win Friday night.Segura had five hits and drove in two runs but Ryan Schimpfs second homer of the game in the 10th inning gave the San Diego Padres a 7-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night.I feel like every time Im working the count and feeling comfortable at the plate, I want to drive the ball, Segura said. Thats part of my game, stealing bases, hitting and playing defense. Im grateful to the D-backs for giving me the opportunity to lead off and do that.Yangervis Solarte drew a one-out walk from Patrick Corbin (4-13) in the 10th before Alex Dickerson singled. Schimpf followed with his game-winner on the first pitch for his third multi-homer game of the season.It feels good to do something to help us win, Schimpf said. Just like I do every at bat. Just trying to get a good pitch to drive, and stay aggressive, and thats what I did. Just happened on the first pitch. Im just going up there trying to drive a ball every time.Schimpf hit a two-run homer in the eighth off Enrique Burgos that tied the game 4-4.You dont see many guys period at any level with that kind of pop, Padres manager Andy Green said. It was impressive. It was a big hit for us, obviously the last one was too. It was fun to watch.Arizona loaded the bases in the top of the 10th against Kevin Quackenbush (7-4), but Jake Lamb struck out to end the threat.It was really disappointing and really frustrating, Segura said. It is something that I just cant explain to lose like that.Grienke started for Arizona and allowed two runs and seven hits over seven innings, rebounding from giving up nine runs in his previous start against the Boston Red Sox. Grienke struck out eight and walked two.I was getting hit pretty good in that second and third inning, but made better pitches the rest of the way, Grienke said. We played a really good game, but it didnt play out. It was a well-played game. I think well win most of them if we play like that.Arizona got its first run in the second when Yasmany Tomas led off with a double against Jarred Cosart and scored on a single by Chris Owings.Segura helped Arizona get the lead in the seventh after stealing third base and scoring on a throwing error by Derek Norris.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: CF AJ Pollack (elbow) will continue a rehab assignment in Triple-A Reno on Saturday after playing in a game with Single-A Visalia on Thursday.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: LHP Robbie Ray (6-11, 4.47) will take the mound for Arizona following a solid start last time out in which he earned the win by pitching five innings and allowing one run.Padres: LHP Clayton Richard (0-1, 4.26) makes his second start since returning to San Diego. Richard took the loss in his first start after giving up two runs over five innings. Cheap Air Max Nz Sale . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Just in case the four-day All-Star break isnt enough to jar the Tampa Bay Rays from the worst slump in their history, they will have a few lineup tweaks as the return Friday for a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles at Tropicana Field.Im not going to lie. This All-Star break has been tough, said Rays manager Kevin Cash, eager from a distraction after losing 22 of 25 games entering the break.You look at the standings, you read how far back we are. Weve got a long road and were going to need to play better baseball. I think that starts by putting a goal of winning as many series up front coming out of the break as possible.As early as Fridays game, the Rays are expected to get back Gold Glove center fielder Kevin Kiermaier, a catalyst in the field and on the bases, where he had six steals and 15 extra-base hits before missing 45 games with a fractured hand.The Rays also optioned backup catcher Hank Conger, hitting just .194 with 10 RBI in 124 at-bats, to Triple-A Durham, with Luke Maile taking his place as Curt Casalis backup. Maile, 25, had 35 at-bats last season and hit just .171, but he should be an upgrade defensively.And in one more move, the Rays signed reliever Kevin Jepsen, who was released by the Minnesota Twins, the same team that acquired Jepsen from the Rays at the trade deadline last year.Jepsen was sharp last season with a 2.33 ERRA but struggled in Minnesota this year with a 6.dddddddddddd16 ERA. Still, hes seen as more dependable than the Rays current options. Theyll likely send down two relievers to make room for Jepsen and Kiermaier on Friday.The Orioles (51-36), leading the American League East, are looking for a different kind of upgrade. They could pursue a key addition in the next two weeks before the trade deadline, most likely to bolster their starting rotation with a replacement for struggling Ubaldo Jimenez.Help is right here in this group. We are not coveting other peoples players, Orioles manager Buck Showalter told reporters about not needing a trade at the deadline. Every answer we need to have is in here.Baltimore won four of five going into the All-Star break, with two wins from Chris Tillman, who is 12-2 and will start Saturday against the Rays. Kevin Gausman is 1-6, however, and Yovani Gallardo (3-1), Fridays starter, hasnt been reliable, either.The Orioles are where they are in part because of a major-league-best 137 home runs -- a ridiculous 28 from Mark Trumbo, another 22 from Chris Davis and 19 from Manny Machado. Its enough to have them 15 games above .500 at the break, but they might need more pitching if they want to be more than a division winner. ' ' '
