WASHINGTON -- Ryan Schimpf extended San Diegos franchise-record run of games with a home run with a second-inning blast off Washingtons Max Scherzer on Saturday.It was all the Padres would get against the Nationals.Pinch-hitter Stephen Drews game-ending RBI triple off reliever Kevin Quackenbush in the ninth gave Washington a 3-2 victory.Anthony Rendon opened the bottom off the ninth with a single off Quackenbush (6-4). Drew entered with one out and drove a pitch off the center-field scoreboard, and Rendon raced around the bases for the winning run.Both of those hits were hanging breaking balls in the middle of the plate, Padres manager Andy Green said. Stephen put a good swing on it. He hadnt been on the field in six or seven days and comes out and has a great at-bat for them and wins the game. Obviously, Quack wasnt trying to put the pitch right there, but it was there and he took advantage of it.Jonathan Papelbon (2-2) allowed a leadoff double in the ninth before retiring three straight batters. San Diego left runners in scoring position in each of the last two innings.San Diego, which has dropped five of six on its road trip, seized a 2-0 lead when Schimpf homered off Scherzer in his first at-bat.His fastballs good, so I just tried to get geared up to get a good pitch to drive, Schimpf said.It was San Diegos 21st consecutive game with a home run, the longest for any NL team since Atlanta went deep 23 games in a row in 2006. The Padres previous record was 14, set in 1998.Starter Edwin Jackson allowed two runs and six hits over six innings.He gave us an opportunity to win the baseball game, Green said. Hes going up against Max Scherzer and goes toe-to-toe with him for six strong innings. I dont think you can ask for much more.Travis Jankowski tripled with two outs in the eighth, but Nationals reliever Shawn Kelley ended the threat by striking out Wil Myers. Matt Kemp doubled to lead off the ninth but was eventually stranded there when pinch-hitter Brett Wallace popped out.ROOKIE RECORDSchimpfs home run was his eighth of the season, all of them this month. He is only the second Padre rookie ever to hit eight home runs in a calendar month; Jedd Gyorko also did it in August 2013.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: RHP Tyson Ross (right shoulder inflammation), out since Opening Day, recently threw from 250 feet. His arm feels really good, Padres manager Andy Green said. Its still just taking time.UP NEXTPadres: LHP Christian Friedrich (4-6, 4.55) lost his fourth straight decision in his previous start, allowing four runs -- three earned -- over 5 1/3 innings during a 10-2 setback at St. Louis on Monday.Nationals: RHP Lucas Giolito (0-0, 4.70), Washingtons top prospect, will be recalled from Triple-A Syracuse for Sundays start.

Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield. Cooper Kupp Womens Jersey . Capitals head coach Adam Oates said Ovechkin was injured in the first period against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday and clarified it was not a head injury. Cooper Kupp Jersey . Just not the game. Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the Anaheim Ducks past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night.Modern-day horseracing is a global game. From trainers in one part of the world plotting an assault on races in another, to the breeding barn where the good life of a shuttle stallion can be interrupted by flights to and from various points of the compass at any time of the year. Jockeys, too, can ride on one continent today and another the next.While BMW Caulfield Cup contender Scottish has had the prospect of fatherhood deprived him, to preserve his form on the track, hell be stepping out in Saturdays headline feature demonstrative of just how international horseracing is.Scottish was bred in Ireland, his trainer is English, his owner is a Dubai Sheikh, and his jockey is an Aussie. It is quite a mix.Kerrin McEvoy is no stranger to just how big that world has become, and he will ride Scottish in the 2400 metres feature hoping for his second win in one the biggest and resonant jewels in the Australian racing crown.Its a bit of a variety there, McEvoy quipped about the gelding rated the $7.50 second favourite with UBET.?Trained by Charlie Appleby out of Englands famous Newmarket racing centre, Scottishs Irish sire, Teofilo, was undefeated in a five-start racing career across the UK and Ireland. McEvoy will wear the royal blue colours of Godolphin, the global racing and breeding empire of Sheikh Mohammad, Ruler of Dubai.[Scottish] has settled in really well since arriving in Melbourne, McEvoy noted of the geldings two-and-a-half week southern stay so far, quick also to respond to questions over whether his mount would be strong enough over the cup trip despite having not yet won over the distance in 11 starts.European horses with good 2000 metres form [three wins] can often produce good performances over 2400 metres here.Plus, Scottish ran second to Highland Reel over the distance last year, he said referring to the second-placed runner in the Group 1 Prix de lArc de Triomphe (2400m) in France earlier this month.That certainly isnt a bad formline, either, as Highland Reel also ran third the 2015 Cox Plate [2040m]. Though Appleby is the latest of Godolphins trainers to fly their charges -- literally a score of them -- across the world over the past two decades to compete for Melbournes biggest prizes, McEvoy was first successful in the $Aus3 million feature in 2008 aboard All The Good at 40-1 for Godolphin and Saeed bin Suroor.Add that to his success on Brew [14-1] in the Melbourne Cup of 2000, which was followed by an six-year association with Godolphin in Europe as their retained No. 2 jockey based in England, behind Frankie Dettori, before returning to Australia in 2008 as Godolphin opened up a local operation in Sydney.It was really something to win the Melbourne Cup at such a young age, McEvoy said of that day that he saluted the judge at Flemington while still a teenager.It set me up to be noticed and also the confidence to take on the challenge of racing on the other side of the world.Hailing from Streaky Bay in South Australia, then to the big stage of racing in Melbourne, the centuries-old tradition of Royal Ascoot, Longchamp and Cologne would at the time have seemed light years away.ddddddddddddThere were Group 1 wins at Doncaster in England, Baden-Baden in Germany and top-line successes in the UAE let alone victory in the 2004 English St Leger -- one of the true classic races. Phone calls from royalty arent the norm for most, but there were the few occasions when Sheikh Mohammad called up McEvoy in his contacts list and dialed the number.Ive spoken to him a couple of times on the phone, McEvoy told ESPN. It was special to get a call from him after the English Derby and the Caulfield Cup.I spoken with the Sheikh often at the races, too. Theyre very good at Godolphin. They really understand horses and everything that goes into their preparation.McEvoy would rarely the loudest person in the room. Despite riding among the top rank of jockeys and races for the best part of two decades, he is still one of the quiet achievers; he lets his skill in the saddle be the dominant conversation.Experience in different parts of the world is important, but local knowledge carries just as much favour in major races.Kerrin will be a real asset for Scottish, says Jim McGrath, the Melbourne-born British broadcasting legend who called more than 20 English Derbies and Grand Nationals for the BBC and watched as his fellow countryman embark on his northern hemisphere sojourn.Hes very experienced riding European stayers and is a man with expert knowledge of riding around Melbourne tracks. Hes riding at the top of his form.He was one of the most popular overseas visitors [to compete in England] over the last 20 years. He very quickly won the respect of not only punters but also owners and trainers.Even though he was a retained rider for Godolphin, he rode for an enormous number of other stables. One year he rode for well over 50 other stables, which is indicative of just how popular he was and perceived by other professionals.Hes a man that speaks so well after each race, too, and can give a good report to trainers. Hes a first-class jockey.First class or not, the risk of a serious fall hangs over a jockeys head every day they take to the track. Extreme sports are increasingly the thing for the leisure-time thrill seeker nowadays, but the act of riding a 500kg animal at speeds of up to 60km/h, often with 15 or more other horses and riders in close proximity, is also extreme and theres a lot to consider in a jockeys mind in some very short spaces of time.McEvoy suffered serious back injuries in a fall at Gosford, NSW, in 2010, that resulted in months laid up and out of action. Tenacity was the winner, however, as he steered Sepoy to victory in the 2011 Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) in Sydney.Now nudging 30 Group 1 winners and, at 35 years-of-age, still in his race-riding prime, theres a lot more in store from Kerrin McEvoy; and this Saturday may just see another special moment in an exceptional globetrotting career.
