PITTSBURGH -- The San Diego Padres scored a run against Pittsburghs Vance Worley in the first inning, and the Pirates starter noticed they were ready to hit his fastball. So he threw more cutters. Worleys change in plans helped him outduel Ian Kennedy, and Gregory Polanco and Josh Harrison had three hits each as the Pirates beat the Padres 2-1 on Friday night. "I was just making adjustments," Worley said. "I thought they were sitting more on my fastballs in to lefties and away from righties so I decided to show them a little something different and keep them off-balance." Worley (5-1) struck out a season-high seven in seven innings and gave up one run, five hits and a walk. "I think he was able to settle into his rhythm toward the end of the second," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "His cutter played extremely well." With the usage of his cutter, Worley was able to finish with a flourish by striking out the side in the seventh. "By the end of my outing I was able to have (the fastball) back again because they were too busy thinking about the other stuff," he said. Kennedy (8-10) was pulled after six innings and allowed two runs -- one earned -- and seven hits. He walked three and struck out five. Tony Watson preserved the one-run lead with a perfect eighth, and Mark Melancon earned his career-high 21st save by striking out the side in the ninth. San Diego scored in the first on Everth Cabreras leadoff double, a sacrifice, and Seth Smiths sacrifice fly. Pittsburgh scored twice in the bottom of the inning. Harrison led off with a triple and scored on Polancos single. Polanco later scored on Russell Martins sacrifice fly. Pittsburgh loaded the bases with no outs in the third, and San Diego did the same in the sixth. "We just couldnt get the big hit," Padres manager Bud Black said. "We had some opportunities but couldnt drive in the big run. We stressed Worley a couple of times but we couldnt break through." The Pirates (62-53) moved a season-high nine games over .500, despite the recent absence of team leaders Andrew McCutchen and Neil Walker. "Were all here to step up," Worley said. "Its a team game, and if one guy goes down, its up to somebody else to come in and step up."

I suppose Sternberg has earned the right to speak out since his Rays, despite one of the lowest payrolls in the Majors at $58 million, are entering the final weekend of the regular season holding down the first Wild Card spot in the American League, one game ahead of Cleveland and two up on Texas.With less than a week to go until the start of training camp, all eyes in Toronto are fixated on Nazem Kadri and his contract status with the Maple Leafs. Kadri, a restricted free agent, drew plenty of attention on social media Tuesday night when he questioned TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzies report that the 22-year-old forwards camp is seeking a multi-year contract with an annual average salary of $5.5 million while the Leafs are seeking a two-year bridge deal similar to what Montreals P.K. Subban signed last season. "false Bobo," Kadri tweeted in a message that was later deleted from his account. McKenzie replied with his own tweet, saying, "Feel free to provide any details, Nazem, but Im satisfied with info conveyed in my tweets today." Kadri, who took part in an informal skate with teammates on Wednesday, was asked about the exchange. "I just dont want people to think Im unffair when, really, Im not being selfish at all," he said.dddddddddddd "I just dont know where those numbers are coming from to be honest. Not many people know the truth." When asked if he wanted to clear the air on his contract status, he replied, "Um, not really...I just want something thats fair, thats all." Kadri, who had no arbitration rights after completing his entry-level deal in June, was second in team scoring with 44 points in 48 games last season. The Maple Leafs have been at a standstill with Kadri and fellow restricted free agent Cody Franson as both players are seeking bigger contracts. The team has just under $5 million in cap space going into this season. That said, Kadri is not opposed to sitting out in an effort to wait for the right deal. "If thats what it takes," Kardi told reporters on Wednesday. "I dont want to."
