SAN DIEGO -- Tanner Roark of the Washington Nationals probably wishes he could face the punchless San Diego Padres a few more times this season. Roark pitched three-hit ball for eight innings, struck out a career-high 11 and walked none, and Anthony Rendon hit a two-run homer Friday night to lead the Nationals to a 6-0 victory against the Padres. In two starts against the Padres this season, he has allowed only six hits in 17 scoreless innings, struck out 19 and walked one. "Everything felt good coming out of my hand," he said. "Thats a plus." The right-hander took a one-hitter into the eighth before Rene Rivera hit a leadoff single and pinch-hitter Tommy Medica had a one-out base hit. Roark (4-4) beat the Padres 4-0 at Washington on April 26th, throwing a three-hitter for his first career shutout. He struck out eight that game, his previous career high. Roark said the key was throwing first-pitch strikes. "That really gets a hitter on his heels and gives you confidence," he said. "I dont try to strike guys out. I just try to make quality pitches. Strikeouts happen. Today everything was working." Said manager Matt Williams: "Hes just been pitching like that for us all year. He just continues to pound the zone, all of his pitches. Pretty impressive." The Nationals won their fourth straight and for the sixth time in seven games. "Same thing he showed over in Washington," Padres manager Bud Black said of Roark. "Mixed his pitches, changed his speeds, commanded his fastball a little bit different than in his start in Washington. In Washington, he used his curveballs, more changeups." San Diego has just 15 hits in five games. On Wednesday, Everth Cabrera bunted for a single in the first inning for San Diegos only hit in a 3-2 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates. "You have to keep going through it," Black said. "You have to keep your nose to the grindstone and keep working. There is no magic formula to this. You keep working, you keep busting your butt in the cage, you keep watching video, you keep your confidence, you keep telling yourself youre going to have good at-bats, you stay together as a team, you hang in there in the hopes that it will turn." Padres starter Tyson Ross (6-5) had a bad night. He walked Washingtons Denard Span to open the game and then allowed Rendons homer to left field, his ninth. Rendon, the third baseman, came out after grounding out in the sixth. He was struck in the right hand trying to field Carlos Quentins smash in the fourth inning and committed a throwing error. He committed a fielding error the next inning. Williams said X-rays were negative. Ross was chased during a nightmarish four-run sixth inning in which he had a throwing error, wild pitch, walked two, hit a batter and allowed two hits. Ross allowed an RBI double to Wilson Ramos that bounced over the fence in right-centre and then walked Ian Desmond to load the bases. Ross hit Danny Espinosa on the left knee to force in a run and Nate McClouth hit a two-run single to right to end Ross night. Ross allowed six runs, five earned, on five hits in 5 1-3 innings. He struck out seven and walked three. NOTES: The Padres placed 2B Jedd Gyorko on the 15-day disabled list with plantar fasciitis in his left foot, retroactive to Wednesday. Gyorko has struggled after signing a $35 million, six-year contract extension in April. Hes hitting just .162.

Philadelphia rookie manager Ryne Sandberg did just that Saturday night against the Washington Nationals and went home a winner. Reliever Jonathan Papelbon retired Wilson Ramos on hard grounder to short and the Phillies held on for a 5-4 win over the Nationals, snapping Washingtons seven-game winning streak. Ryan Zimmerman doubled off Papelbon to start the ninth. After Jayson Werth flied out and Ian Desmond popped out, Bryce Harper, who had singled in his previous at-bat, was walked intentionally. "Just the better matchup," Sandberg said. "Sometimes Harper seems to make things happen, as he did earlier with the broken-bat base hit." Ramos hit a smash toward short, but Jimmy Rollins threw him out to end the game and give Papelbon his 27th save. "(Rollins) made a very nice read on that, retreating back," Sandberg said. "That was an in-between hop that he made a little bit longer. A heck of a play right there, it really was." Carlos Ruiz had two doubles and three RBIs and John Mayberry homered for the Phillies. The Nationals, who had scored three in the seventh to pull within 5-4, fell 5 1/2 games behind the Reds (winners in Milwaukee) for the second NL wild card. "Were still fine, weve just got to win the games," manager Davey Johnson said. "Just got to keep winning." Cole Hamels (8-13) won his fourth straight decision, allowing four runs, three earned, on eight hits in six-plus innings. Washingtons Denard Span went 3 for 5 to extend his hitting streak to 25 games and stole a career-high three bases. Gio Gonzalez (10-7), coming off a one-hitter against the Mets, allowed four runs on nine hits in six innings. "Its a tough loss right there, especially when these guys battled all the way to the end," Gonzalez said. Pinch-hitter Scott Hairston, Span and Ryan Zimmerman singled to load the bases in the seventh and end Hamels night. Facing Justin De Fratus, Jayson Werth grounded to third and Cody Asche threw home for the out. Ian Desmond plated Span with a sacrifice fly to make itt 5-2.dddddddddddd Left-hander Cesar Jimenez came in to pitch to Harper and Harper blooped a single to centre scoring Zimmerman. When centre fielder Cesar Hernandez overran the ball, Harper went to second and Werth scored from first. B.J. Rosenberg fanned Ramos on a called third strike. Philadelphia took the lead in the fifth. With one out, Mayberry hit an 0-1 offering from Gonzalez into the visitors bullpen to tie the score. The Phillies werent done as Hamels and Hernandez followed with singles. Rollins flied out, but Chase Utley walked to load the bases. After pitching coach Steve McCatty visited Gonzalez, Ruiz hit the left-handers first pitch over Werths head in right for a bases-clearing double. "Hes using the whole field. I mean the double down left field line his first at-bat. The double down the right-field line," Sandberg said. "Hes the right guy up with men on base for us, for a month." Since Aug. 8, Ruiz is batting .583 (14 for 24) with runners in scoring position, with six doubles and 19 RBIs. "Im not trying to do too much," Ruiz said. "Just put the ball in play and see what happens." Utley added what turned out to be a crucial RBI-single in the seventh to make it 5-1. Washington took the lead in the first. Span singled, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Werths sacrifice fly. NOTES: The Reds win officially eliminated Philadelphia from playoff contention. ... Johnson said RHP Stephen Strasburg (forearm tightness) will play catch Sunday.
