SAN DIEGO -- Nick Franklin hit his first two big league home runs and Kendrys Morales, Brendan Ryan and Endy Chavez also went deep to give the Seattle Mariners a 7-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Thursday. The five homers were a season high for the Mariners, who worked over Andrew Cashner and Petco Park in earning a split of their home-and-home, two-game series with the Padres. Felix Hernandez (6-4) snapped a two-start losing streak, holding the Padres to one run and three hits in eight innings. He struck out six and walked three. Franklin homered into the sandy play area beyond the fence in right-centre off Cashner with two outs in the sixth inning. He connected again with two outs in the eighth, driving a pitch from Tim Stauffer deep into the seats in right. The second baseman, a first-round draft pick in 2009, made his big league debut on Monday and got his first hit, a single, in a loss to the Padres on Wednesday night. Morales homered to straightaway centre leading off the second and Ryan hit a high, arcing ball that just went over the fence in the left-field corner leading off the third, both off Cashner. It was Morales seventh and Ryans second. Chavez hit a two-run homer off the top of the new fence in right-centre off Stauffer with one out in the seventh. The fence in right field was brought in 11 feet in the off-season to make the spacious park play more fairly. Hernandez had only one bad inning, allowing two singles, a walk and Carlos Quentins sacrifice fly in the fourth. Hernandez is 5-0 with a 1.54 ERA in six starts at Petco Park. Cashner (4-3) allowed four runs and seven hits in six innings, struck out four and walked two. The Padres have lost six of nine. NOTES: The Padres recalled RHP Nick Vincent and optioned RHP Anthony Bass to Triple-A Tucson. Vincent, whos from nearby Ramona, was 4-3 with a 4.15 ERA at Tucson. He made his big league debut last year with the Padres, going 2-0 with a 1.71 ERA in 27 relief appearances. Bass had a 4.55 ERA in 18 relief appearances with the Padres. ... The Mariners open a three-game series at Minnesota on Friday, with RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (5-1, 2.35) facing RHP Mike Pelfry (3-5, 6.85). ... The Padres stay home and open a three-game series against Toronto, with RHP Jason Marquis (6-2, 3.70) opposing RHP Chad Jenkins (1-0, 3.60). Marquis has won five of his past six starts with a no-decision his last time out.Tom Brady Jersey .

Authentic Michael Jordan Jersey . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal.

But just like a football game, when youre going in a football game, adversity is going to hit at one point. What youre going to do after that is going to determine the rest of the game.For an organization that is well-versed in drama and pratfall -- Adrian Petersons child abuse case two years ago, Brett Favres downfall in 2010, the Love Boat, etc., etc. -- this season ranks nowhere near the top of the list when it comes to misfortune. But it has had no shortage of adversity.-Teddy Bridgewater suffered a dislocated knee that, were it not for the fast action by the Vikings training staff and trauma medics who rushed to the scene, could have resulted in an amputation from a non-contact drill.-Peterson tore the meniscus in his right knee in Week 3, robbing the offense of its most potent and well-established playmaker.There remains a chance he will play before the season is over, but only if the Vikings playoff hopes remain alive.-The offensive line lost tackles Andre Smith, Matt Kalil, Jakee Long and Phil Loadholt and guard Mike Harris for the season with injuries.dddddddddddd Center Joe Berger and right guard Brandon Fusco have also missed time and left guard Alex Boone has been playing through pain for weeks.All of the injuries have made an essential position group the biggest weakness on the team and the biggest reason the offense is ranked 31st in the league.-Norv Turner, coach Mike Zimmers right-hand man in charge of the offense, abruptly left the team in early November with the offense having trouble pulling its own weight.Pat Shurmer was elevated from tight ends coach to offensive coordinator, but the change has done little to spark a unit ranked 26th in the league in scoring.-Kicker Blair Walsh needed to be cut after leading the NFL in missed extra points, forcing the Vikings to scramble to add Kai Forbath in free agency.-Zimmer has needed multiple surgeries on his right eye to address a detached retina, which caused him to miss the game last week against the Cowboys.He wore an eye patch during practice on Tuesday and sunglasses on Wednesday and Thursday and will be coaching the team in Jacksonville on Sunday.We have to take advantage of the opportunities we have, said special teams coordinator Mike Priefer, who filled in as head coach for Zimmer last week.Coach Zimmer talked to the team this week about our backs being against the wall. Weve got to go get a win on Sunday and then hopefully the sky is the limit from there. But weve got to get this one first.The Vikings are operating under the assumption that they have to win their final four games to get into the playoffs, a stark difference from the team that was flying high after routing the Houston Texans in Week 5.The margin for error has disappeared, and now theyre hoping for a 4-0 finish to the season just like the one in 2012 that pushed them into the postseason after a 6-6 start.Youre so frustrated because it is things that were doing to ourselves, Boone said. At the same time you have to learn and really grow. This is the time where youre either going to take a step forward or take a step back.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
