SAN DIEGO -- The Padres Clayton Richard is a different pitcher in this go round in San Diego.Richard proved that by blanking Colorado for seven innings as San Diego routed the Rockies, 14-1 on Thursday night.I think Im smarter and Im taking things easier, Richard said. I have an understanding that on the mound doing less is more. It creates better stuff and more consistency.After two earlier stints with the Padres, Richard was claimed off waivers when released by the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 3. It was his second impressive start since Aug. 27, when he blanked the Miami Marlins over seven innings in a win.Richard missed the 2014 season after undergoing a left shoulder operation. Hes bounced around since, but it appears hes bounced all the way back.You bet on the person and what he has done in the past, Padres manager Andy Green said. As he gets distance from his surgery hes returning to form. Hes one of those guys that works harder than everybody and Ive learned not to count those types of people out.Richard (2-3) was sharp as he scattered six hits, walked two and had eight strikeouts.I think consistently it was about being down in the zone and throwing strikes,Hes doing so with a different arm slot, dropping down more three-quarter on his release.Instead of staying up top Ive kind of let the arm goes where it wants to, Richard said. Im just relaxed and not worrying about getting on top on the ball.Ryan Schimpf hit a three-run homer and tied a career-high with four RBI to lead the offensive outburst.Schimpf, a rookie second baseman, hit his 18th home run of the season, all coming since July 1.Keith Hessler and Brandon Morrow pitched the final two innings. Cristhian Adames spoiled the shutout with a one-out homer in the ninth off Morrow.Every position player in the Padres starting lineup had a hit. Travis Jankowski, Yangervis Solarte, Alex Dickerson and Schimpf had two each. Derek Norris added a two-run homer in the eighth.Jeff Hoffman (0-3) lasted 2 2/3 innings but it was hardly all by his own doing. He gave up seven unearned runs, six hits and two walks. It was his shortest stint in his four career starts.`I think its just a matter of command and getting in tough counts, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said.San Diego tacked on three runs in the fifth on Richards RBI groundout after German Marquez walked the bases loaded in his major league debut. Jankowski added a two-run single.The Padres dinged Hoffman with a seven-run third, highlighted by Schimpfs three-run blast. It tied a season-high for runs in an inning for the Padres after they sent 11 batters to the plate.San Diego had a little help from Adames as all the runs were unearned.With Luis Sardinas at third, Jon Jays two-out grounder kicked off Adames glove at shortstop for a run-scoring error. Wil Myers, Solarte and Dickerson followed with singles, with the last two bringing in runs.The error didnt mean anything, Hoffman said. That stuff happens. You just gotta go out and make the next pitch and get out of it.Then Schimpf went deep over the fence in center field. Sardinas got on for the second time in the inning with an RBI single for a 7-0 lead.Green said Norris was to undergo an X-ray after taking a foul tip off his right shoulder in the ninth inning.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: Reinstated RHP Jason Motte from the DL. Motte has been out since July 26 with a strained right rotator cuff.Padres: RHP Jarred Cosart could miss his next start after straining his right groin and hamstring when leaping for an errant throw on Wednesday.UP NEXTRockies: RHP Tyler Chatwood (10-9, 3.94) is 6-1 on the road, with a 1.82 ERA which leads the majors. Hes 2-0 with a 1.84 ERA in two starts against the Padres this year.Padres: RHP Luis Perdomo (7-8, 5.92) has given up three earned runs or less in 10 of his last 14 starts. Two of the wins have come against the Rockies, one in relief. D.J. Alexander Jersey . JOHNS, N.

Jocquez Kalili Jersey . -- Stanford squashed Oregons national championship hopes again, schooling the Ducks in power football. IRVINE, Calif. -- Jared Goff draws most of the attention from Rams fans in training camp.But right now Case Keenum runs the offense.While Goff had a crowd of more than 2,000 fans groaning when he fumbled the snap from under center and cheering on a long touchdown pass to undrafted rookie wide receiver Nelson Spruce, Keenum steadily took the starters through the Rams first full practice in pads at UC Irvine on Tuesday.Thats what the Rams hoped would happen when selecting Keenum as the starter before organized team activities. That decision allowed the quarterback entering his fifth season in the NFL to oversee the offenses development in the spring and summer while giving the No. 1 overall draft pick Goff time to get settled.When Im at quarterback, Im running the show, Keenum said. Its my huddle, its my squad, its my offense and I am taking ownership of it.Keenums role was evident over the weekend when starting receivers Tavon Austin (cramps) and Kenny Britt (excused absence) were unavailable, leaving a group of largely unknown players available at the position.With rookie Pharoh Cooper held out because of a minor quadriceps injury, the Rams signed Austin Hill and David Richards on Tuesday, adding the pair of undrafted former Arizona standouts to a roster that now includes seven players in their first or second year as professionals.Britt is the lone receiver on the roster with more than five seasons of experience, while Austin and Brian Quick are the only Rams wideouts that were drafted in the first three rounds.Coach Jeff Fisher touted the groups potential, noting they would be hard to distinguuish by switching jersey numbers.ddddddddddddTheyre all tall and can make plays and elevate and make catches, Fisher said. Youre going to get to know them, especially in the preseason.Were trying to build up and down the depth chart because two days ago we were down two receivers and we had some new faces in there, Keenum said. It doesnt matter who you plug in at quarterback, it doesnt matter who you plug in at receiver, you are expected to produce.Statistical production was modest as Keenum started the final four games of the St. Louis Rams era, though he did throw three of the teams 11 total touchdown passes for the entire season during that stint.However, when combined with the output of running back Todd Gurley and a strong defense, it was enough for the Rams to win three games in that span.The same grinding style is expected whether Keenum or Goff starts the season opener. It could be even more necessary given the uncertainty at receiver.However, the focus will inevitably remain on Goff, prompting Fisher to joke that he would open every post-practice interview with a breakdown of the former California stars performance that day.And then well go on to other things. Hows that?, Fisher said.That quip didnt keep Fisher from noting Keenums seemingly overlooked role.He does all the little subtle things you need to do as a quarterback, Fisher said. He has had a great offseason.Said Keenum: Im doing my job.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL
