MILWAUKEE -- John Axford wishes the Brewers could have left town with a few more victories. air jordan 6 retro schwarz . Ryan Braun homered and Yovani Gallardo pitched seven innings to help Milwaukee beat the San Diego Padres 6-5 on Sunday and at least salvage a winning homestand. Martin Maldonado homered to cap a four-run sixth inning for Milwaukee and Braun drove in three runs for the Brewers, who went 5-4 against the visiting Pirates, Cubs and Padres. San Diego has lost four of five to fall to 20-41, a half-game below Chicago for the worst record in the NL. "Definitely not successful enough for us," Axford said. "We wanted to win more. We played some teams here that we thought maybe we could pick up a couple more games." "At least, we still ended up on top," he said. That was barely the case Sunday, as the Padres scored three times in the ninth, forcing out the Brewers closer after Chase Headley hit an RBI single and Carlos Quentin walked with the bases loaded. Jose Veras replaced Axford and struck out Yonder Alonso looking, but he walked Jesus Guzman on four pitches to force home another run before he struck out John Baker looking for his first save since June 16, 2011, with Pittsburgh. "It was another game that was hard to enjoy at the end," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "It was a good thing we came out winning it, but we shouldnt let a game get away like that." "With those two arms, with Frankie (Rodriguez) and Ax back there, when we go into a game like this we shouldnt have too much trouble winning. And certainly we did today," he said. Gallardo (5-5) gave up five hits and two runs, one earned, in seven innings, striking out five and walking two. Anthony Bass (2-6) gave up four runs, five hits and three walks in 5 2-3 innings. Bass has allowed 19 runs in his last four starts after posting a 2.94 ERA over his first eight starts this season. He was given a 2-0 lead and pitched well early, striking out the side -- all looking -- in the fifth. But Milwaukee scored four times in the sixth. Norichika Aoki reached on an infield single, stole second and advanced to third when Bakers throw went into centre field. Aoki scored on Brauns single, Aramis Ramirez and Taylor Green flied out and Rickie Weeks walked. That brought up Maldonado, who hit his second homer in three days and third since being called up on May 29. Edwin Maysonet followed with a triple to centre, just over the leaping Cameron Maybins glove. Maybin hit the wall hard with his right shoulder and left as part of a double switch after the play. Manager Bud Black said Maybin had a sore neck but should be OK. Braun hit his 15th homer of the year in the seventh. San Diego scored two early runs thanks to some sloppy play by the Brewers. Will Venable led off the game with an opposite-field homer to left on the fourth pitch from Gallardo. It was his second leadoff home run this season and seventh of his career, tying him with Quilvio Veras for the Padres franchise mark. The damage was almost much worse for Gallardo. Braun robbed Headley of extra bases with a leaping catch into the out-of-town scoreboard in left, just below the yellow home-run line at the top of the wall. The Brewers gave away a run in the second. Alonso led off with a single and advanced to second on Maybins groundout. Baker then hit a dribbler to the mound, but the ball went under Gallardos glove and between his legs for an error. Everth Cabrera followed with a slow roller down the first-base line. Rather than let it go foul -- which appeared likely -- Green fielded it and had to make the play at first, allowing Alonso to score. "Yovani I thought threw the ball really well," Roenicke said. "A little off in his first couple innings, then he settled down, and his command was really good, using all his pitches. He did a good job of keeping us there and giving us a chance to have somebody pop one." Said Headley: "To his credit, he made pitches when he had to. With us a lot of this year, sometimes it was our doing that we werent able to get runs in, but I thought we had some decent at-bats." The Brewers can make up more ground in the NL Central when they travel this week to the struggling Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins, a combined 48-67 through Saturday. On Tuesday, Zack Greinke makes his first start in Kansas City since being traded from the Royals to the Brewers before the 2011 season. NOTES: Braun was hit by a pitch for the sixth time this season in the third. Milwaukee batters have been hit 37 times in 2012, most in baseball. . Before the game, the Padres optioned RHP Andrew Cashner to Double-A San Antonio and called up right-hander Brad Boxberger from Triple-A Tucson. Cashner started in the Padres 5-2 win Saturday over the Brewers, giving up two hits and one run over 2 1-3 innings, striking out five and walking two. Padres manager Bud Black said Cashner would begin his transition from reliever to starter. The Padres also transferred RHP Tim Stauffer (strained right elbow) to the 60-day disabled list. .. RHP Marco Estrada, on the 15-day disabled list since May 24 with a right quadriceps strain, will throw a simulated game in Kansas City on Tuesday. Manager Ron Roenicke said he hopes Estrada can make two minor league starts, beginning as soon as Saturday, before taking RHP Mike Fiers place in the starting rotation. air jordan retro schwarz . Alonso has won three races this year but hasnt taken the checkered flag since the German GP in July. His lead was slashed further when he crashed out at the first turn of last weekends Japanese GP, where Vettel earned a second consecutive victory. "Weve been attacking all races, the approach to all races is to get maximum points," Alonso said Thursday. air jordan basketballschuhe . 7 Duke had no trouble knocking the rust off after a 10-day break and running its NCAA-best winning streak to 92 straight non-conference home games. http://www.nikeairjordanchuheshop.eu/... .

He was 69. In March 2011, Sabol was diagnosed with a tumour on the left side of his brain after being hospitalized for a seizure. He started working with his father, Ed -- NFL Films founder -- in 1964, and they introduced a series of innovations now taken for granted today, from slow-motion replays to sticking microphones on coaches and players. "Steve Sabol was the creative genius behind the remarkable work of NFL Films," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement from the league confirming Sabols death. "Steves passion for football was matched by his incredible talent and energy. Steves legacy will be part of the NFL forever. He was a major contributor to the success of the NFL, a man who changed the way we look at football and sports, and a great friend." Ed Sabol was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame last year. The two received the Lifetime Achievement Emmy from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in 2003. Steve Sabol has also received the Pete Rozelle Award, presented each year to someone who made an outstanding contribution to professional football. air jordan 6 deutschland. In 2007, the Hall of Fame honoured him with the Dan Reeves Pioneer Award. "We see the game as art as much as sport," he told The Associated Press before his fathers Hall induction. "That helped us nurture not only the games traditions but to develop its mythology: Americas Team, The Catch, The Frozen Tundra." Sabol received 35 Emmys for writing, cinematography, editing, directing and producing. No one else had ever earned that many Emmys in as many different categories. He began his career as a cinematographer under his father. He was the perfect fit for the job: an all-Rocky Mountain Conference running back at Colorado College majoring in art history. The Sabols treated sport as film and changed the way Americans watched and perceived games. Their advances included everything from reverse angle replays to setting highlights to pop music. "Today of course those techniques are so common its hard to imagine just how radical they once were," the younger Sabol told the AP last year. "Believe me, it wasnt always easy getting people to accept them, but I think it was worth the effort." ' ' '
