SAN DIEGO -- Robbie Ray had life on his fastball and feel for his slider in the bullpen before the game and figured he was in for a fun one.I knew it was going to be a good day, Ray said.Ray struck out a career-high 13 and gave up just one hit in seven innings, pitching the Arizona Diamondbacks past the San Diego Padres 2-1 on Saturday night.He was letting it fly with better location, Arizona manager Chip Hale said.There were no hits in the game until the fifth. Arizona finished with four, and the Padres got three.Ray (7-11) overpowered the Padres until the fifth, when Patrick Kivlehan, called up from Triple-A El Paso before the game, launched a 451-foot home run for his first major league hit.One pitch with two strikes he left over the plate, Hale said. Other than that he was outstanding.Arizona used four relievers to close it out. Daniel Hudson induced three infield popups to escape a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the eighth and Enrique Burgos earned his first save of the season.Im just getting more confident in my stuff, said Ray, who has allowed three runs (two earned) and 12 hits in his last three starts. Im just trying to get better every time out.Ray threw 22 strikes in his first 26 pitches.It was all about fastball command, he said. It was mostly fastballs I was throwing and it was just the movement on both sides of the plate.As the game progressed, the Padres were set up to flail away at Rays deceptive slider.That kept them off my fastball, he said.The Diamondbacks scored two unearned runs, helped by a pair of throwing errors by pitcher Clayton Richard (0-3).Richard gave up two hits in six innings. He struck out five and walked three but was done in by the errant throws. Hes had a history of trouble throwing to bases.Unfortunately not fielding my position cost us, Richard said. That definitely stings because you play to win, and to have a couple fielding plays cost you the game, thats really tough.The Padres got little help in trying to touch Ray.It was 1-all in the sixth when Phil Gosselin singled and Paul Goldschmidt walked. Rickie Weeks Jr. hit a grounder to Richard, who wheeled and threw the ball into center field, allowing a run to score.In the Arizona fifth, Welington Castillo singled and Mitch Haniger hit a comebacker that Richard also threw into center. Brandon Drury then grounded into a double play, with Castillo scoring for a 1-0 lead.Kivlehan had two of the Padres hits.Regardless of the outcome of the game, thats a pretty sweet moment, Green said of Kivlehan going deep. Guys dreamt about doing that his whole life and he hits one 450 in the big leagues. Thats really special for him.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: SS Nick Ahmed will undergo season-ending hip surgery next week.

Cronulla halfback Chad Townsend dismisses the notion the club is on the wane following their NRL premiership breakthrough, insisting the sky is the limit for the next few seasons.While celebrations following their maiden title triumph are still going at Sharkies Leagues Club, questions are being raised about their ability to stay at the top.Coach Shane Flanagan will spend the summer working out how to replace retiring hooker Michael Ennis after the veteran No.9 had proved the catalyst to their grand-final breakthrough.He has a host of options in under 20s player of the year Jayden Brailey, Wests Tigers import Manaia Cherrington and utility Nu Brown, however bookmakers are already expecting their stocks to fall next year.They have been installed on the fourth line of betting by bookmakers behind North Queensland, Brisbane and Melbourne for the 2017 title because of queries about instability in their spine.However, Townsend was having none of that argument, saying their premiership window wasnt about to be shut, talking up their chances of becoming the first back-to-back title winners since Brisbane in 1992-93.ddddddddddddLosing Michael is going to be a big loss for us but weve got a young hooker named Jayden Brailey, Townsend said.Its going to be exciting for him.Our backline are all young - they can score tries. For us, the sky is the limit. If we can build on what we did this year, who knows what we can do? Its exciting to be a part of.Flanagan has already asked Ennis to stay involved in the club to help mentor their next generation of hookers.It remains to be seen if Brailey, 20, will be ready for first grade next year but he is considered the clubs long-term replacement for Ennis.Flanagan might have shown his hand by recruiting Cherrington on a one-year contract with the view to bringing Brailey through slowly next year.Brailey is described as a workaholic and had his first taste of first grade at this years Auckland Nines, brought into the squad after Valentine Holmes was sent home for breaking curfew during Queensland Emerging Origin camp.
