SAN DIEGO -- Seth Smith hit a home run and scored three runs, Carlos Quentin also homered and drove in three runs, and the San Diego Padres beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-2 Tuesday night. Smith had three hits as the Padres finished with a season-high 16 one night after managing just one hit in a 1-0 win over the Reds. Ian Kennedy (6-9) pitched six strong innings, giving up one run and seven hits with a walk and three strikeouts to get his first win in nearly a month. Kennedy, who improved to 4-1 in his career against the Reds, was 0-3 with a 6.08 ERA in his last four starts in June. Quentins two-run homer in the four-run, seventh inning was the key blow when the Padres extended their lead to 7-1. Mike Leake, vying for his career-best fourth straight win, allowed three runs and 11 hits in 5 2-3 innings. In each of his previous two starts, Leake (6-7) gave up one run and four hits in eight innings. San Diego had its highest scoring total since an 11-1 win over the Cubs on May 23. Chase Headley put the Padres ahead 3-1 with an RBI single in the sixth to drive in Smith, who had doubled to right field. Smith hit his ninth homer of the season leading off the first to give the Padres a 1-0 lead. It matched their hit total from the previous night and was San Diegos first homer since Tommy Medica had one on June 24. Quentin also doubled in the first inning, but was doubled off second base when he sprinted for third base on an infield pop up after forgetting the number of outs. After totalling just five runs in their previous five games, the Padres extended the lead to 2-0 when Kennedy got San Diegos third straight single. The Reds pulled to 2-1 in the fifth inning when Todd Fraziers two-out, broken-bat single to centre drove in Zack Cozart. That snapped the Padres scoreless innings streak at 21.

LOUIS - Back in August, the St. Louis Rams invited three high school teams impacted by protests and rioting in Ferguson to practice on their fields.Out of a really tough situation that was something awesome, having those kids here, Rams defensive end Chris Long said. They were a blessing to me personally. Sometimes during camp you just kind of get caught up in going to work every day and honing your craft.Those kids, with everything thats going on in their community they really livened up my team. It was really the highlight of my camp, I can honestly say that. I hadnt smiled like that all camp.The three high schools — McCluer, McCluer North and McCluer South-Berkeley — watched the Rams practice before taking the field for their own praactices in August.dddddddddddd At one point, coach Jeff Fisher brought the North players and coaches to one of the end zones to simulate crowd noise.The Rams also gave them tickets to their preseason game against Green Bay.This week, Fisher thought back to those young players he met in August.We discussed it this morning, Fisher said. Its just such a difficult situation. We had an opportunity to get involved in August with the three football teams and the organization has done some other things.Hopefully, as soon as things settle down then well get back involved. As we talked as a group its our community, its their neighbours. Everybody cares deeply about whats going on and hopes things can get settled as soon as possible. ' ' '
