LOS ANGELES -- Jason Marquis relied on his bread-and-butter pitch to extend his run of effective outings for the San Diego Padres. Backed by a solid sinker, Marquis carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning and the Padres beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 on Wednesday night after dropping the first two games of the series. "I was working real hard to find consistent delivery and was able to do that and carry it over to the game," he said. "When I have a good one like that I tend to go to it over and over." Marquis (7-2) allowed two runs and three hits in 6 1-3 innings while improving to 6-0 with a 3.28 ERA in his last eight starts. The veteran right-hander also is 3-0 with a 2.52 ERA in his last four outings against the Dodgers dating to last season. "He gives us trouble all the time," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Ever since Ive been out here in California, it seems like he pitches good every time." Marquis had his no-hitter broken up when Skip Schumaker doubled to deep centre field with two outs in the sixth, extending his hitting streak to 12 games. Adrian Gonzalez followed with a RBI single that trimmed San Diegos lead to 3-1. Earlier in the inning, Padres right fielder Kyle Blanks temporarily preserved Marquis no-hit bid with a diving catch and slide on his belly that robbed pinch hitter Jerry Hairston Jr. "Outstanding," Marquis said. Marquis left after Scott Van Slyke homered with one out in the seventh. He struck out six and walked two. "I saw the legit sinker just pounding it on right-handers and keeping it away from lefties," Padres manager Bud Black said. "It was a lot of sinkers and good sliders down underneath." Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (5-4) struck out nine and was charged with three runs and seven hits. The left-hander gave up at least one hit in each of his six innings. "I saw a lot of tough at-bats against a very good pitcher," Black said. The last-place Dodgers could have passed the Padres in the NL West standings with a victory, but they never led while falling to .500 at home with a 16-16 record. San Diego extended its lead to 6-2 with three runs in the ninth. Jedd Gyorko and Yasmani Grandal each had a bases-loaded sacrifice fly, and pinch hitter Will Venable singled home a run. Gyorko also had a leadoff homer in the fourth and walked and scored on Jesus Guzmans double in the sixth. Guzman tied his career high with three hits. "Theyre a scrappy team. Theyve got a lot of grit over there," Kershaw said. "Theyre fouling pitches off and putting good at-bats every single time out there. Youve got to tip your cap to them. Theyre not going to be easy outs." The Padres grabbed the lead on Grandals RBI single with two outs in the second. Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig went to field the ball with his left-handed glove and it went behind him, allowing Guzman to score. Puig was hitless in four at-bats with two strikeouts after going a combined 5 for 9 in his first two major league games on Monday and Tuesday, when he had two homers and five RBIs. "Marquis is a tough matchup," Mattingly said. "Hes a guy who keeps the ball down, he can run the ball at him and break the ball to the other side."

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- No. 19 Florida will be without quarterback Luke Del Rio as it begins a stretch of seven consecutive Southeastern Conference games.Coach Jim McElwain officially ruled Del Rio out Monday because of a knee injury, saying he wont play at No. 14 Tennessee (3-0) on Saturday and could miss more time. McElwain declined to provide specifics about Del Rios injury.Yeah, hes got a bum leg and he should be back sometime, McElwain said. I dont know when its going to be. I mean, Im not going to rush him back. You know me: Ill never put anybody out there thats not ready to go. So well see. And yet, you know what, weve got other guys that will jump in there and play. Im excited about it.Now I feel horrible for him, especially how it happened, and yet thats part of the game as well. Thats just the way it goes.Del Rio injured his left knee Saturday on a low hit by North Texas defensive end Josh Wheeler, who was flagged for a personal foul. McElwain, who clearly thought the play was dirty, screamed at the Mean Green sideline and had to be restrained by officials and then his players.Del Rio ended up walking off the field without assistance, and his injury isnt season-ending.I dont look at it as good news at all, because its still, you know, wasnnt right, McElwain said.dddddddddddd But as good a news as it is, you know, he didnt have to go under the knife yet, so that, to me, is a positive.The injury forces the Gators (3-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) to turn to former fifth-year senior Austin Appleby, who started 11 games the last two years at Purdue. Appleby threw for 2,777 yards, with 19 touchdowns and 19 interceptions in 17 games with the Boilermakers. He also ran for nine scores.With Appleby under center and leading receiver Antonio Callaway uncertain to play because of a quadriceps injury, McElwain decided to close practice to the media this week. Its the first time hes done that in two years at Florida.I think its important to give you guys a bye and rest you up a little bit to go on a road trip, McElwain told reporters. Were going to go ahead and close our practices, not that I dont trust anybody in here. I trust each and every one of you, all right? ... Id just appreciate that we kept to the Gators and go on from there. Nothing drastic, but obviously we have some new things we have to work on.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
