07/29/2010 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pinch-hitter Oscar Salazar singled home the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning, and the San Diego Padres posted a 3-2 victory over Los Angeles in the rubber match of a three-game series at Petco Park.
George Sherrill (1-2) came on to pitch the ninth for the Dodgers, and Scott Hairston greeted him with a single to left field. Tony Gwynn Jr. sacrificed the runner to second, and Salazar followed by delivering a grounder up the middle to plate the decisive run.
Salazar's heroics made a winner out of Heath Bell (5-0), who tossed a 1-2-3 ninth.
Chase Headley and Yorvit Torrealba both knocked in a run for the NL West- leading Padres, who acquired former AL MVP Miguel Tejada from Baltimore before the game. Mat Latos earned a no-decision after giving up two runs -- one earned -- on two hits and three walks in five innings of work. He fanned seven.
James Loney homered for the Dodgers, while starter Vicente Padilla allowed two runs on four hits over four innings.
The Padres grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a run-scoring single by Headley, but Loney's eighth home run of the season tied the game in the second.
San Diego regained the lead in the fourth when Headley walked to begin the inning and came home on a double by Torrealba.
Latos, though, ran into trouble in the fifth, walking two of the first three batters. Pinch-hitter Garret Anderson then singled to left field, and Jamey Carroll was able to score the tying run after Hairston misplayed the ball.
Game Notes
Torrealba extended his hitting streak to 12 games...San Diego improved to 32-20 at home...Adrian Gonzalez had two hits for the Padres...Los Angeles was limited to three hits in the game.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
