SAN DIEGO -- The Padres still havent swept a series this season, and on Sunday they were denied by Mark Teixeira and the New York Yankees.Teixeira hit his 400th and 401st home runs, Didi Gregorius also connected and Chad Green got his first big league victory as the Yankees beat San Diego 6-3 to avoid a three-game sweep.The Padres were denied what would have been their first sweep of the Yankees. New York beat San Diego 4-0 in the 1998 World Series.Teixeira struck out in his first three at-bats before hitting a high, arcing shot into the home run porch down the right-field line off Carlos Villanueva leading off the eighth. With Brett Gardner aboard on a single with one out in the ninth, Teixeira homered to right off Kevin Quackenbush.Teixeira became the fifth switch-hitter with at least 400 homers. He had not homered since April 13 before connecting against Minnesota last Sunday, and he homered against Texas on Monday. His first multihomer game since July 31 gave him seven home runs this season.Our reports obviously kind of failed us a little bit today because Teixeira got us on two breaking balls, a pitch he hasnt hit very well this year, Padres manager Andy Green said. I thought the one Villa threw was a very good pitch.Green (1-1), a 25-year-old right-hander, held San Diego to one run and three hits in six innings, struck out eight and walked none. The rookie was recalled earlier Sunday from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, his third stint with the big league team this year.Greens only big mistake was allowing Yangervis Solartes leadoff homer in the second. Solarte tied his career high with four hits, finishing a triple shy of the cycle.Ive definitely been battling through some things, but just trying to go out there every day and play hard and give it my best, Solarte said. I didnt even realize I was a triple shy of the cycle. I was just trying to make good contact, hard contact, and go from there.Solarte was great, Green said. He swung the bat incredibly well. The opposite field home run today was good to see.Solarte recently jammed his thumb. We saw for maybe a week, week and half stretch where like his bat wasnt alive, Green said. His hands feel good again, his numbers are climbing. He looks good in the box.Chad Green (1-1), a 25-year-old right-hander, held San Diego to one run and three hits in six innings, struck out eight and walked none.

Solarte tied his career high with four hits, finishing a triple shy of the cycle.Aroldis Chapman relieved Anthony Swarzak after Alex Dickersons two-run homer in the ninth, and got three outs for his 16th save in 17 chances.Gregorius scored in the second when Ronald Torreyes hit into a double play and homered off Andrew Cashner (3-6) in the fourth. Aaron Hicks had three hits, raising his average to .208.Cashner (3-6) came off the disabled list earlier in the day. Out since June 11 with a strained neck, he allowed two runs -- one earned -- and six hits in six innings.Dickersons homer was his second.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: Manager Joe Girardi said hes still trying to figure out how to use OF Carlos Beltran in the series at the Chicago White Sox that starts Monday.

Wholesale Nike Shoes UK . Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level.With a misfiring forward line and the toughest run-in of any likely AFL finalist, North Melbournes 2016 hopes are shot, right?Not so, according to coach Brad Scott, despite the Kangaroos latest setback against the Western Bulldogs.At Etihad Stadium on Saturday night North looked second best all evening, losing by 14 points in a low-scoring affair.Worse, key forward Ben Brown sustained a knee complaint that could see him join fellow spearhead Jarrad Waite (hip) in their treatment room.On the night, Scott wouldnt be drawn on his diagnosis, saying only team doctors were cautiously optimistic he had avoided a major injury.The forward told the Sunday Footy Show he was hopeful of avoiding a stretch out of the team.The first signs are pretty good. Nothing major I dont think, he said.In the marking contest, I landed and thought I was fine and took off to run and realised I couldnt push off.Got to go in and have the scans and see what happens.The Kangaroos can ill-afford another missing senior player, with 10 first-teamers already on their injury list..ddddddddddddScott Thompson also didnt play the last quarter as he received treatment for a groin issue, which Scott said was purely precautionary.Given whats up next the Kangaroos would want to have their physios working overtime.They face reigning premiers Hawthorn at the MCG next weekend, second-placed Sydney in Hobart and then fourth-placed GWS Giants at Etihad in round 23.Rather than be daunted by the fixture list, Scott said playing four top-eight sides in their final month was exactly the preparation for finals he wanted.Well learn a fair bit out of tonight. What we need to improve on, he said.Win, lose or draw the next three weeks were going to get some really good evidence where we need to improve and what were doing well.Sometimes theres a bit of fools gold when you have a big win.Tonight I thought we were outplayed. Well go back and look at that. Were going to get that sort of thing the next three weeks. ' ' '
