PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks first three-game series sweep of the San Diego Padres in more than five years had good timing.The Diamondbacks edged the Padres 3-2 on pinch hitter Phil Gosselins RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning to complete the sweep in the season finale and keep Arizona from last place in the NL West, which fell to San Diego.Tuffy Gosewich doubled against the Padres Brad Hand (4-4) after two fly outs, then was replaced by pinch-runner Socrates Brito. Gosselin lined his winning hit up the middle to end the game.It isnt easy, especially the last day. Guys minds are going everywhere, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. For them to really bear down in a close game and keep fighting, make pitches, get key hits. It was very exciting to get three wins. It was something we talked about on Friday. `We have a chance to move in front of these guys. Lets see if we can do it. We did it. Mission accomplished.The Diamondbacks finished with 69 wins -- 10 fewer than last season -- in a year with higher expectations. They edged the Padres by a game in the division standings.It leaves you with a little bit better feeling going into the offseason, Gosselin said.Reliever Daniel Hudson (3-2) earned the win in what could be his last season as a Diamondback, as he becomes a free agent after joining Arizona midway through 2010.That was a cool moment. I wanted to get in there, Hudson said, his eyes welling up with tears.The Padres thought they took the lead in the top of the ninth when Ryan Schimpfs fly ball down the right-field line was originally called a home run. But after a video review, it was ruled a foul ball.I really didnt see much. Hoping they would call it fair, Schimpf, who hit 20 home runs after starting the season at Triple-A, said. Wed like to see it cross around the pole but definitely the replay showed it was foul.Brandon Drurys two-out home run off Hand tied the score 2-2 in the eighth. Hand had worked scoreless relief in 61 of 81 games this season.Luis Sardinas doubled home Austin Hedges, whod doubled with one out, off Arizona reliever Steve Hathaway in the seventh. That gave the Padres a 2-1 lead.Arizona had a chance to tie in the bottom of the seventh when Mitch Haniger singled and took second on a sacrifice. Pinch hitter Kyle Jensen lined a single to left that was dropped by Padres left fielder Alex Dickerson, but Haniger was being held up at third base and had to stay there.Jean Segura, who entered the game batting .408 in his last 18 games, grounded into a double play to end the threat.Drury came home on a force out in the third inning to give the Diamondbacks the early lead. The Padres tied it at 1 in the fourth on Hunter Renfroes two-out double to drive in Wil Myers.Matt Koch, making his second career major league start, allowed a run and five hits in six innings, striking out three without a walk for the Diamondbacks. The PadresPaul Clemens struck out seven and walked two in six innings of four-hit ball.SEGURA HOPES FOR WBC CALLSegura ended up with a .319 batting average and became the first Arizona player to lead the NL in hits with 203 this season. Asked if hed be welcome the chance to play for his native Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic next March, Segura smiled.If they invite me, Im going to because its a great experience representing your country, Segura said. You dont know where youre going to be in four more years. Life is so short, you dont know when you go. So you have to take the opportunity to play today. To be a part of that is a privilege, its an honor.THANKING THE FANSDiamondbacks players and coaches came out of the dugout before the bottom of the fifth inning and doffed their caps to the crowd in appreciation. The team drew just over two million fans in attendance over 81 home dates this season.ENBERGS FAREWELLBefore the third inning began, the Diamondbacks paid tribute to Padres broadcaster Dick Enberg, who called his last game on Sunday. Enberg has won 14 Emmys and nine Sportscaster of the Year awards, among many other honors, over his long career calling baseball and other sports. He acknowledged the crowd of 31,385 with a wave and fist pump as fans cheered and applauded. Air Max 97 Rebajas . Fred Couples, captain of the U.S. side, put it all into perspective. "We know whos in charge," he said. Air Max 97 España Baratas . Ronaldo produced a spectacular individual performance on Tuesday, scoring all three goals and guiding Portugal into the next years World Cup in Brazil with a 3-2 victory in Sweden. The Real Madrid forward has scored 66 goals in 2013, but the last three may be the boost he needs to upstage Messi after FIFA unexpectedly extended the voting period for the Ballon dOr to Nov. http://www.baratasairmax97.es/ .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury. Air Max 97 Baratas Rebajas . Rob Manfred, baseballs chief operating officer, testified last week during the grievance filed by the players union to overturn Rodriguezs 211-game suspension. A person familiar with the hearing, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Manfred testified the sport wasnt concerned whether Bosch distributed performance-enhancing drugs to minors because MLBs interest was his relationship with players under investigation. Air Max 97 España . The All-Pro lineman got the leg bent under him while trying to make a tackle during the first half of a 22-20 overtime loss at Miami on Thursday night. The medical staff initially thought hed torn the ligament, and the test a day later in Cincinnati confirmed it. The Golden State Warriors versus?Los Angeles Clippers?rivalry didnt live up to the hype, Tim Frazier recorded a triple-double, and T.J. McConnell filled in for Sergio Rodriguez and finished one assist shy of recording one himself. What a crazy week in the NBA.Heres a list of the most fantasy-relevant news and notes for all 30 teams around the league heading into the eighth week of the season:Atlanta Hawks: Kent Bazemore (knee) is expected to return to the court this week after missing the past two games, but he was limited in practice Monday and his status for Tuesdays game against Orlando remains uncertain. If Bazemore doesnt feel well enough to play in shootaround, Tim Hardaway Jr. is expected to start his third game in a row.Boston Celtics: Isaiah Thomas has missed the past three games because of a groin injury but hopes to return to the court against San Antonio on Wednesday. Celtics coach Brad Stevens offered no further details about the chances of the point guard playing against the Spurs, saying, No idea about Wednesday. If Thomas is unable to go, expect Marcus Smart to again play extended minutes after being on the court for 36 minutes in each of the past two games.Brooklyn Nets: Jeremy Lin (hamstring) makes his long-awaited return to the court on Monday after a six-week absence. His presence in the rotation will allow the 6-16 Nets to rely less on rookie Isaiah Whitehead and early-season surprise?Sean Kilpatrick?going forward. Lin averaged 15 points, 3.8 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.4 assists in five games with Brooklyn before the injury.Charlotte Hornets: Marvin Williams returned from a six-game absence last week and re-entered the Hornets starting lineup, moving?Frank Kaminsky?to the bench. If Williams is going to keep his job as the starter, though, he is going to have to improve on his career-low 34.4 percent shooting. Never in Williams previous 11 NBA seasons has he shot under 42.3 percent.Chicago Bulls: Doug McDermott returned to the court last Thursday against San Antonio following an 11-game absence due to a concussion suffered from a nasty fall near the basket. McDermott is mostly a 3-point specialist by fantasy standards, but has made multiple 3s in only five of the 11 games he has played this season and is 1-for-6 from long distance in the two games since his return.Cleveland Cavaliers: J.R. Smith returned to the Cavs lineup on Saturday and played 32 minutes in a win over Charlotte, which is slightly more than his season average of 29.5. A month and a half into the season, the biggest issue with Smith continues to be his poor shooting. The veteran is a career 42.2 percent shooter and enters the week shooting just 31.2 percent.Dallas Mavericks: J.J. Barea hasnt played in a game since Nov. 16 because of a calf injury, and though hes on track with his recovery, his return to the court is still at least a week away. Meanwhile, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle indicated on Monday that Dirk Nowitzki is going to ramp up his activity but is still out indefinitely as he works his way back from a strained right Achilles. Nowitzki has been out since Nov. 25.Denver Nuggets: It has been a disastrous month so far for Denvers second-year point guard Emmanuel Mudiay. The No. 7 overall pick in 2015 is shooting just 28.9 percent and playing only 22.6 minutes per game, losing time to Jameer Nelson. Nelson missed one game last week because of a sprained ankle but returned to play 23 minutes against Orlando on Saturday. Hell need to become more efficient on the offensive end or he runs the risk of losing minutes to Nelson and rookie Jamal Murray going forward.Detroit Pistons: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday when the Pistons play the Mavericks, giving Detroit the perimeter defender it lacked in Sundays lopsided loss to Philadelphia when KCP sat with a knee contusion.Golden State Warriors: Kevon Looney stepped into the starting center spot Sunday against Minnesota when Zaza Pachulia was scratched with a wrist injury. Looney managed just four points and three rebounds in 18 minutes, but its worth noting that veteran JaVale McGee, who many expected to get the starting nod with Pachulia out, logged only six minutes.Houston Rockets: Hat tip to ESPNs Marc Stein on this one: Houston is suddenly +14.2 points per 100 possessions when Harden is off the floor since Patrick Beverleys return on Nov. 17. Beverley is one of the better glue players in the league, and his value is clear on a team like the Rockets that had chemistry problems in previous years.Indiana Pacers: Monta Ellis hadnt missed a game since joining the Pacers before last season, playing in 95 straight contests. Ellis has also played in at least 80 games in each of the past four seasons. But both those streaks are coming to an end, as the Pacers announced the veteran 2-guard will be out for at least the next four games because of a groin injury. Glenn Robinson III will take his place in the starting lineup for Mondays game against Charlotte.Los Angeles Clippers: Austin Rivers will miss Mondays game against Portland with a mild concussion, but the Clippers are expected to get Raymond Felton back. The veteran Felton had missed the previous two games attending his grandmothers funeral.Los Angeles Lakers: Lou Williams isnt a huge fantasy threat when the Lakers are at full-strength as they are with DAngelo Russell, Nick Young and Julius Randle back in the lineup, but what a week the veteran guard had. Williams is averaging 32.2 points in his past five games, shooting 51.6 percent and making 3.6 3-pointers per game in the process. Keep an eye on him throughout the season, especially any time Russell, Young or Jordan Clarkson are out of the lineup.Memphis Grizzlies: The injury-ravaged Grizzlies are one of the better stories of the season, overcoming the extended absences of Mike Conley and Chandler Parsons to move to a 17-8 record. They enter the week fresh off a convincing 110-89 win over the Warriors. How are they doing it? With defense, thats how. Thee Grizzlies lead the league in defensive efficiency, allowing 99.dddddddddddd.5 points per 100 possessions.Miami Heat: The seemingly minor wrist injury that was initially expected to keep Justise Winslow out for only a few games has now cost him a month, but Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Monday that Winslow is getting pretty close to being cleared for full-contact practices. Wayne Ellington, Josh Richardson and Rodney McGruder will continue to log extended minutes until Winslow and Dion Waiters return to the lineup.Milwaukee Bucks: Jabari Parker is shooting a respectable 46.1 percent on the season, but the skilled power forward has made 50 percent of his shots only once in the past 10 games dating back to Nov. 21. Parker shot 49 percent or better in each of his first two seasons in the league, so this could be something to keep an eye on in the months ahead.Minnesota Timberwolves: Much has been made about some of the things Andrew Wiggins hasnt done since entering the NBA, but the fact is hes a 21-year-old with a career 44.7 shooting percentage who is averaging 22.2 points in his third season. If theres one area where he has been very disappointing this season, its his lack of steals (0.5 SPG). Its hard to fathom that someone with Wiggins quickness and athleticism, playing over 36 minutes per game, could have registered zero steals in 14 of the teams 24 games thus far.New Orleans Pelicans: Rookie first-rounder Buddy Hield was a superstar in the college game last season, but his first year in the NBA is off to a rough start. He enters the week shooting 36.8 percent in his first 25 NBA games, and on Sunday he was benched in favor of veteran Reggie Williams in the second half. Further struggles could limit Hields role going forward -- especially once Tyreke Evans returns -- but one encouraging sign is that hes shooting 44.4 percent from 3-point range in his past five games, draining 12 3-pointers in that span.New York Knicks: Courtney Lee has made multiple 3-pointers in three straight games and in 11 of 22 games this season. He is also third in the league in 3-point percentage (47.8), which is a big step up for the career 38.8 percent shooter from distance.Oklahoma City Thunder: X-rays on Victor Oladipos wrist came back negative, but his status remains in doubt for Tuesdays game in Portland. He didnt participate in practice on Monday, and if hes unable to play against the Trail Blazers, it will leave the Thunder without one of their premier perimeter defenders in the matchup against Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum.Orlando Magic: Nikola Vucevic is listed as questionable for Tuesdays game against Atlanta, and his availability will come down to how his sore back feels leading up to the game. The big man participated in non-contact drills at practice on Monday. If hes unable to play against the Hawks, Orlando is expected to go with Bismack Biyombo as the starting center for a second straight game.Philadelphia 76ers: Nerlens Noels return to the lineup could mean many things for the 76ers, but the one player who is least impacted is Joel Embiid, the clear-cut starting center. Noels presence in the rotation will likely cut into Ersan Ilyasovas, Jahlil Okafors and Richaun Holmes minutes, while rookie Dario Saric is expected to continue to see more minutes at small forward.Phoenix Suns: If Alex Len is ever going to live up to the lofty expectations that came with being drafted No. 5 overall in 2013, hes going to need to find some consistency. The 7-foot-1 center came through with a huge 14-point, 13-rebound, 5-block effort in a win over the Lakers on Friday, but followed that up with six points and four rebounds in 15 minutes against New Orleans.Portland Trail Blazers:?McCollum buried seven 3-pointers against Indiana on Saturday, bumping his average to 2.8 treys per game on the season. Hes on pace to top his previous high of 2.5 3PG from last season and is also shooting a career-high 47.3 percent from long range.Sacramento Kings: DeMarcus Cousins is averaging career highs in a number of important statistical categories -- points (28.2), assists (3.6) and 3-pointers made (1.7) -- but his shooting percentage is all the way down to 44.8 percent. Cousins hasnt shot that poor from the field in a season since his second year in the league back in 2011-12.San Antonio Spurs: Tim Duncan may be retired from the NBA, but The Big Fundamental made news on Monday when he took on current Spurs big man Pau Gasol in a game of one-on-one during practice. Its probably a stretch to assume that Duncan is considering coming out of retirement, but this certainly gets a lot of people thinking.Toronto Raptors: Steven Loung of sportsnet.ca points out that the Raptors have won eight of their past nine games and now have an offensive rating of 114.2 points per 100 possessions, tying them with Golden State for tops in the league. Toronto remains one of the slower teams in the league, however, averaging 97.3 possessions per game (No. 23 in the league).Utah Jazz: Injury updates continue to dominate the news for the Jazz.?Gordon Hayward returned from a one-game absence due to a finger injury, but?George Hill (toe) and Derrick Favors (knee) continue to work their way back to the court. Hill shed his walking boot but didnt practice Monday and might still be a week away. Favors, who has been out since Nov. 14, could return as soon as Wednesday at home against the Thunder.Washington Wizards: Second-year swingman Kelly Oubre Jr. poured in 19 points and added nine rebounds and three steals in a win over Milwaukee on Saturday, one day after his 21st birthday. Oubre has worked his way into the sixth man role in Washington and is earning more minutes as of late; hes averaging 21.2 minutes in his past five games and 27 in his past two games. If hes going to become a factor in fantasy this season, its going to be as a scorer, rebounder and 3-point shooter. ' ' '
