LOS ANGELES -- With the All-Star Game coming up next week, Drew Pomeranz made a strong case to pitch in his home ballpark.He tossed two-hit ball over seven innings, Melvin Upton Jr. homered leading off the game and the San Diego Padres beat the Dodgers 6-0 on Thursday night in a rough comeback for Los Angeles starter Hyun-Jin Ryu.Pomeranz (8-7) struck out six and walked two in his third straight start of seven innings with one run or less. The left-hander has 26 strikeouts in his last 27 innings. He helped himself offensively, singling in a run with two outs in the second for a 2-0 lead.I dont know what else Im supposed to do for that, Pomeranz said of a possible All-Star berth in San Diego. I try not to focus on it. My goal is to go out there and do what I did every single time. Seven innings, three starts in a row, thats an improvement for me, and thats what I want to do, be out there in the game longer.The National League is in need of a replacement for injured Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw and Pomeranz deserves the nod, Padres manager Andy Green said.Hes been outstanding. Sometimes the opportunity doesnt present itself. Were hopeful that it does the next couple of days, Green said. Anybody who is tuned into this game, if theyre looking for somebody to replace Kershaw, I think he is clearly the candidate.Ryu (0-1) got a rude welcome back to the major leagues, giving up six runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings with four strikeouts and two walks. The South Korean left-hander was reinstated earlier Thursday from the 60-day disabled list to make his first major league start since Sept. 12, 2014. He had shoulder surgery in May 2015, causing him to miss all last season.Overall, I felt really great, Ryu said through a translator. My shoulder felt really great. I didnt see any issues.Ryus struggles extended an unwelcome streak for Dodgers starters, with none of them going seven innings since May 14 except for the now-injured Kershaw.However, just having Ryu back in the rotation was a welcome sight for the Dodgers. Brandon McCarthy recently returned to the rotation and Brett Anderson is soon to follow.He looked very comparable to where he was, Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said. Well see the Hyun-Jin of 2013-14 really soon. Hes going to be a huge weapon for us in the second half.Dodgers rookie All-Star Corey Seager went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts, ending his 19-game hitting streak, which was the longest in the National League this season.San Diego won for the fifth time in seven games, rapping out 10 hits.Alexei Ramirezs RBI double extended the Padres lead to 3-0 in the fourth. They tacked on three runs with two outs in the fifth on Yangervis Solartes RBI double and Alex Dickersons first career triple to deep right. Yasiel Puig misplayed the ball, which went over his head, and then he missed the cutoff man, making it 6-0 and chasing Ryu.GREAT CATCHDodgers center fielder Trayce Thompson made two nifty catches to rob former Dodger Matt Kemp. He snagged Kemps liner before crashing into the wall in the seventh and then grabbed another long shot from Kemp in the ninth. One batter earlier, Puig made a highlight catch on Wil Myers in deep right. In the first, Puig made a running grab of Solarte over the low wall in right field to end the inning.HIT IT HERESeager has a tall task in the first round of the Home Run Derby during All-Star festivities next week. The rookie takes on Baltimores Mark Trumbo, the top seed and current major league leader with 26 homers. Seager ranks second among major league rookies with 17 homers. Hes flying his family from North Carolina to San Diego to watch.Hes going to be nervous and there are some guys who get shut out, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Theres a lot of pressure. Youre kind of like a man on an island out there.ALL IN THE FAMILYMyers is making the Home Run Derby a family affair. He picked his 19-year-old brother Beau to pitch to him during the contest. Beau just completed his freshman year as a third baseman at Appalachian State.He sent me a couple videos of him throwing BP in the cage, so hopefully hes ready, Wil Myers said. Win or lose it doesnt really matter. Its a cool thing for me and him to go out there and do, and its something that well remember for a long time.DODGERS MOVESLos Angeles recalled RHP Carlos Frias from Triple-A Oklahoma City for his second stint on the active roster this season.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Hank Steinbrenner is bullish about the New York Yankees future.The teams co-chairman thinks young players who came up late this season such as Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge and Tyler Austin and others still developing in the farm system can soon become the face of New Yorks next dynasty. He hopes for a group much like Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada, who formed a core in the 1990s that won five titles.When the new group starts winning consistently, Steinbrenner says the Yankees will make the kind of long-term investment that would make his late father proudOnce we get it there, well keep it there and we will spend to do so, Steinbrenner told The Associated Press on Thursday. We will spend to do so.Steinbrenner, 59, and 20-year-old son George Steinbrenner IV joined former racing star and current IndyCar team owner Michael Andretti at a news conference Thursday to introduce their partnership in the Indy Lights Series.Hank Steinbrenner, the older brother of managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner, faces a different financial system than the one conquered by their father, George M. Steinbrenner III. New York won seven World Series titles as George Steinbrenner lavished money on free agents while he owned the team from 1973 until his death in 2010, but revenue sharing and a luxury tax have curbed spending.The new collective bargaining agreement raises the luxury tax threshold by $6 million to $195 million next year and leaves the rate for exceeding that level at 50 percent. But the deal, ratified thiis week, and imposes a 12 percent surtax that start at $215 million, where the Yankees are likely to be at the seasons start, through $235 million.dddddddddddd The surtax rises to 45 percent above that.With high expectations for the players who made debuts last season, Steinbrenner does not expect them to succumb to high expectations. And with shortstop Gleyber Torres, outfielders Clint Frazier and Rashad Crawford and left-hander Justus Sheffield, in their minors following their acquisitions in trades for Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller.It is different being a Yankee than it is playing for any other team, Steinbrenner said. We try to focus on finding players who can handle that situation. We dont expect them to have any more pressure than any other young players, but it is different being a Yankee.Revenue sharing has forced the Yankees to change the way they stock their roster, although Steinbrenner thinks revisions to the plan may help New York in the short term.Revenue sharing is a sore point with me, not necessarily the Yankees, just me, Steinbrenner said. My dad didnt have revenue sharing. But our fans love home-grown players who come through the system. They get very attached to those players.Almost as much as the fans get attached to winning, which drives attendance and ratings on the YES Network.Winning does a lot for that, and winning big does a lot for that, Steinbrenner said. Its what we all want. ' ' '
