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.

Rios hit a grand slam, drove in five runs and had three hits to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 10-6 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Rios had been in a 2-for-20 slump before going 3-for-5. Rios, who also ended a homerless drought of 120 at-bats, insisted that his big day had nothing to do with being pulled from the game on Friday. "I go about my business the same way every day," he said. "It doesnt matter what happens the night before or whatever. I try to do the same things every day and I try to perform my best. "I felt a little better today. I felt like I was seeing the ball better. When you see the ball better, its because youve done some mechanical adjustments." Rios and White Sox manager Robin Ventura disagreed on whether the benching was necessary, but they were on the same page in believing it didnt have any carry-over effect. "The other day he was 6-for-6 and there was nothing going on there," Ventura said referring to Rios performance at Detroit on July 9. "Hes just a good player and he had a good day. He came up at the right time. "He hit a grand slam and had some big hits to help us win. I dont think it had anything to do with last night." Either way, Rios slam turned around what appeared to be another lacklustre White Sox game into their 10th win in 32 games. Jake Peavy (7-4), making his first start since June 4 because of a fracture rib, got off to a shaky start. He allowed a two-run homer to Dan Uggla in the second inning and two more runs in the third. But he shut down the Braves during his final three innings. He allowed seven hits in six innings, and just two of the four runs charged to him were earned. "I probably came out of the gate a little too fast because I was excited," Peavy said. "I had a little extra adrenaline, but the feel wasnt there. I was able to pull the reins back a little toward the middle and get my feel back a little bit to where I was throwing the ball more consistently to where I wanted it. "The boys picked me up today. The team came back and Alex got a big hit. It was a fun day." Braves starter Paul Maholm (9-9) was forced out in the fourth inning because of a sprained left wrist. He was stakeed to a 4-0 lead but couldnt hold it.dddddddddddd He allowed seven runs and seven hits in three-plus innings. "It flared up on him in the fourth inning," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said of the injury. "He did it in Miami his last start when he was hitting. In the fourth it flared up on him a little bit and we didnt want to take any more chances. "We got him out of there as soon as we saw something." The soft-tossing left-hander started struggling with his location after retiring six of the first seven batters he faced. But the first five batters in the third inning got on, capped by Rios grand slam that gave the White Sox a 5-4 lead. Rios 12th homer of the season ended a power drought of 120 at-bats. During the White Sox 6-4 loss to the Braves on Friday, Rios hit what appeared to be a routine double-play grounder in the fifth inning. Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons bobbled the ball, and Rios likely would have beaten the throw to first, but he didnt run hard out of the box. Instead of a run scoring, the White Sox were out of the inning. Ventura removed Rios in the seventh. Before Saturdays game, Rios admitted he was wrong for not running hard. He said it was caused mostly by frustration, and added that he wished Ventura had handled it differently. "(The message) would have gone through better if he put me in his office and talked to me personally," he said. "If he wants to make a statement for the team, it probably worked." On Saturday, the Sox followed their five-run third with a four-run fourth to break the game open. Chicagos latest struggles are a reason both Rios and Peavy have been involved in rumours as the July 31 trade deadline approaches. "With trade rumours, I dont like to speak about them because theyre just rumours," Rios said. "Until it happens, Ill just stick to the idea that theyre just rumours. When they happen, we can talk about it." NOTES: Braves RHP Brandon Beachy, recovering from Tommy John surgery in 2012, pitched five innings to get the win in a minor league rehab start on Friday. "He threw the ball really well," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "The report after the game was its the best hes felt in a while." .
