SAN DIEGO - Padres manager Bud Black watched Alexi Amaristas winning single in the 10th inning from the tunnel behind the dugout. Black had been ejected in the top of the inning for unloading on first base umpire Clint Fagan, who had just ruled that Yasiel Puig checked his swing on a 2-2 pitch with Matt Kemp on second and two outs in a tie game. Things have been going the Padres way lately. Puig struck out swinging and then Amarista lifted San Diego to a 2-1 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night. For the first time in franchise history, the Padres managed to win extra-inning games on three straight days. "That was really a critical point of the game," Black said of the ejection. "When you think about it, Yasiel Puig up, with Matt Kemp at second base, in the 10th inning. I think Todd Tichenor is one of the best umpires in the National League. The fellow at first is a good, young umpire. I thought he swung. Thats the bottom line. Obviously in the heat of the moment I reacted like I did because youre trying to win a major league game and its hard to win sometimes." When Puig checked his swing, catcher Yasmani Grandal asked Tichenor to appeal to Fagan, who said he didnt go. A few moments later, Fagan was tossing Black. Will Venable started the winning rally with a single to centre off Jamey Wright (4-4) and stole second as pinch-hitter Rymer Liriano struck out. Amarista then lofted a single over shortstop Hanley Ramirez, and Venable slid in headfirst just ahead of the throw. "This is another game that sort of builds confidence for our guys and they realize we can beat a first-place team," Black said. The Dodgers lead in the NL West was to cut to 2 1/2 games over San Francisco, which beat Milwaukee 3-1 behind former Padres star Jake Peavy. Tim Stauffer (6-2) pitched the 10th for the win for the Padres, who remain mired in third in the division, 11 games back. "I think the main thing weve seen is, were not swinging the bats as good and it goes back to giving the other guys credit," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "They did a nice job with us and they always have. We have to make adjustments back." The Padres had runners on first and second with no outs in the ninth when Yasmani Grandal lined a shot back at J.P. Howell. The reliever somehow caught the ball, turned and doubled Abraham Almonte off second. Brian Wilson came on and got Jedd Gyorko to fly out to left. Starters Zack Greinke and Ian Kennedy both pitched well. On June 12, 2013, Kennedy, then with Arizona, was one of six players and coaches ejected after a brawl with the Dodgers. Kennedy hit Puig and Greinke with high pitches. Greinke held San Diego to one run and four hits in eight innings. He struck out eight and walked two. Kennedy went seven innings, also allowing one run and four hits while striking out eight and walking three. Kennedy doubled into the gap in right-centre with one out in the third to bring in Rene Rivera and give San Diego a 1-0 lead. Rivera was aboard on a leadoff double down the left-field line. Adrian Gonzalez tied it with a drive into a party deck on the right-field wall with two outs in the sixth. It was his 19th homer. Gonzalez extended to 61 his record for home runs at Petco Park. He hit 47 when he was with the Padres from 2006-2010. Puig was back in the Dodgers lineup a day after being benched because Mattingly felt the outfielder was frustrated. Puig struck out in his first two at-bats. In the sixth, he lifted a high fly ball to deep centre field and flipped his bat, thinking it was a home run. Instead, it was just another long fly ball to the fence at spacious Petco Park. TREVOR TIME Before the game, Trevor Hoffman was inducted into the Padres Hall of Fame. When he retired after the 2010 season, Hoffman was baseballs career saves leader with 601, 552 of them in 16 seasons with the Padres. He is currently the Padres upper-level pitching co-ordinator. LATE HEROICS The Padres have won in their last at-bat in three straight games. Its the first time they have accomplished that feat since they did it four straight times from April 13-16, 1986. TRAINERS ROOM Dodgers: LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu is scheduled to come off the disabled list and start Sundays series finale. He has been out since Aug. 14 with a strained right hip. Padres: Black said closer Joaquin Benoit will be sidelined because his right shoulder is sore again. He recently went 11 days between appearances because of soreness. UP NEXT: Dodgers: Ryu (13-6, 3.28 ERA) last pitched in a loss at Atlanta on Aug. 13, allowing three runs in 5 2-3 innings. Padres: Eric Stults (6-14, 4.63 ERA) has allowed two or fewer earned runs in 10 of his last 12 starts. Paul Kariya Jersey .

Frank Lampard struggled to contain his emotions after grabbing 10-man Manchester Citys 85th-minute equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Chelsea, the team which released the former England midfielder this summer after his club-record 211 goals in 13 years at Stamford Bridge. "It is a special and weird day," said Lampard, who was applauded before and after the game by Chelseas travelling support. Lampard was talking about his own experience but he could easily have been summing up an afternoon full of surprises in Englands top division, which finished with Chelsea holding a three-point lead after five games. Surprise home defeats by Tottenham and Everton were upstaged by an implosion from Manchester United, which conceded four goals in 20 minutes to lose a Premier League game for the first time after holding a two-goal lead. Robin van Persies header and Angel Di Marias exquisite chip put United 2-0 ahead after 16 minutes and Ander Herrera regained the teams two-goal cushion at 3-1 in the 57th minute. However, penalties by David Nugent and Leonardo Ulloa -- the second after Tyler Blacketts sending-off -- came either side of goals by Esteban Cambiasso and Jamie Vardy as Uniteds defence fell apart at King Power Stadium. "How is it possible to give this game away?" said United manager Louis van Gaal, whose side has five points from five games despite a spending spree of $250 million over the summer. West Bromwich Albion beat Spurs 1-0 through James Morrisons goal to climb off the bottom of the standings and Crystal Palace also grabbed a first win of the season, defeating Everton 3-2 at Goodison Park. Lampard was cheered onto the field by Chelsea fans as he entered as a substitute in the 78th minute, with City a man and a goal down and seeking an unlikely way back intto the game.dddddddddddd Pablo Zabaleta was sent off in the 66th for receiving a second booking and Chelsea capitalized within five minutes when substitute Andre Schuerrle tapped in at the far post from Eden Hazards cross. Chelsea, which ditched the flamboyance that characterized its opening four wins, failed to see the match out and after Diego Costa hit the post for the visitors, Lampard arrived with a trademark late run into the box to side-foot home James Milners knockdown. Lampard -- keeping his head down -- held his arm out in an attempt to hold off the advances of his joyous City teammates and didnt celebrate the goal. "It was a difficult day for me at the end because what do you do?" Lampard said. "Youre caught in the middle." Lampards first goal for City overshadowed strong words by City manager Manuel Pellegrini, who described Chelsea as a "small team" because of what he perceived as defensive tactics. "I think we played against exactly the same team we played against Stoke here," Pellegrini added, referring to his teams 1-0 loss to Stoke in Citys last home game. City is without a win in four games in all competitions and stayed five points behind Chelsea. United now has the attack to mount a challenge to return to the top four, with Di Maria scoring for the second straight match with a brilliant scoop over the goalkeeper from 16 yards (meters) and Van Persie heading in from Radamel Falcaos cross. Falcao made his first start for United since his loan move from Monaco, with Juan Mata dropping out of the team. But how United could do with some of the defenders on show at Citys Etihad Stadium. For only the sixth time in Premier League history, United conceded five goals to highlight the glaring inadequacy in Van Gaals team after his summer of lavish spending on mostly attacking players. "We exploited their weaknesses and we got the result," said Leicester striker Vardy, who earned both penalties and put his team 4-3 ahead on a rapid counter-attack.
