PHILADELPHIA -- A.J. Burnett and Marlon Byrd were the two acquisitions the Philadelphia Phillies were hoping would help them get back to the post-season. Well, they helped them get a win in a season going nowhere. Burnett threw 7 1-3 sharp innings, Byrd hit a three-run homer and the Phillies beat the San Diego Padres 5-2 on Tuesday night. "Create some momentum. We just have to carry it over into tomorrow," manager Ryne Sandberg said. Back from a 1-5 trip that left them tied with the Cubs for the worst record in the NL, the Phillies opened a six-game homestand with only their 13th win at Citizens Bank Park. Burnett (4-5) allowed two runs and three hits to earn his first win since May 20. "It all starts with our pitching," Burnett said. "If we hold them down and give our guys a chance, the better off well be." Jonathan Papelbon left the bases loaded in a scoreless ninth to record his 300th career save, becoming the 26th pitcher to reach that mark. He has 14 consecutive saves after blowing his first try. "It was tough because I didnt feel that emotion in a while," Papelbon said. "It means a lot to me, more than most people would think." Will Venable hit a solo homer for San Diego. Starter Ian Kennedy (5-7) gave up five runs and seven hits in seven innings. Kennedy retired the first nine batters before Ben Revere lined a double to right to start Philadelphias fourth. Chase Utleys RBI single tied it at 1. After Ryan Howard singled, Byrd hit an opposite-field shot into the seats in right-centre field for a 4-1 lead. "It seems theres always one pitch youd like to take back and that was the pitch," Kennedy said. "Not a good location." Utley and Howard hit consecutive singles before Byrd drove in another run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth to make it 5-1. That was enough for Burnett, who shook off his recent struggles and was in control throughout. The righty was 1-4 with a 7.25 ERA in his previous six starts. Burnett walked two after issuing 10 in his last two starts. "It looked like he was throwing more strikes and he had some contact outs early in counts," Sandberg said. "He also mixed in some two-seam fastballs, which worked for him in getting ground-ball outs to left-handed hitters." Burnett only threw 89 pitches before giving way to Jake Diekman, who got the final two outs in the eighth on strikeouts. Diekman reached 100 mph on one of his fastballs. "I dont like to come out of a game, period," Burnett said. "But he throws a little harder than me." The Padres took a 1-0 lead in the third when Venable lined a 3-1 pitch into the seats in right for only his second homer in 179 at-bats. Venable hit a career-high 22 homers last season. The light-hitting Padres entered with the worst batting average in the majors at .218. Carlos Quentin snapped an 0-for-24 slump with a seventh-inning double. But Everth Cabrera (0 for 18) and Jace Peterson (0 for 18) were 0 for 5 to extend their hitless streaks. Quentin scored on Yonder Alonsos sacrifice fly to cut it to 5-2.

The Packers, Lions and Bears were a combined 35-15 and as long as Jay Cutler can say healthy, all three could make the playoffs in 2012.KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Kansas City Chiefs hopes for a post-season berth go through a daunting matchup at the Pittsburgh Steelers.Kansas City (8-6) hasnt allowed a 300-yard passer and has allowed just two touchdowns rushing on the season.But the Chiefs defence hasnt faced an offence such as the Steelers (9-5), who are the NFLs top-ranked group.Theyre a very balanced offence, Chiefs cornerback Sean Smith said. They like to run and pass the ball. Great back, great receivers and a tremendous quarterback back there who can make all the throws, can take hits and make the throws. This is by far our biggest test of the year.The Steelers present the Chiefs a big challenge when it comes to defending quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, running back LeVeon Bell and wide receiver Antonio Brown.Roethlisberger, who is 3-1 against the Chiefs, ranks second in league in yards passing (4,415) and sixth in touchdowns (29).The 11th-year pro has been on a roll in the past eight games with 2,822 yards passing (352.8 per game) with 21 touchdowns and five interceptions.Roethlisbergers top option is Brown, who leads the NFL in yards receiving (1,498) and receptions (115).Browns 115 catches established a team record, and his 11 touchdowns rank third in the league.Covering the dynamic fifth-year pro takes a team-wide effort.Not one guy can stop Antonio Brown, Smith said. Its going to take all 11 (defenders). Pass rushers, great technique and were going to have to bring everything we got because those guys are playing at a very high level.Chiefs cornerback Jamell Fleming agreed, adding he understands what must be done in the teams press-man scheme if hes locked up against Brown.Just win my one-on-one matchup, Fleming said. Thats my mindset, and being aggressive with him. Hes not the biggest guy, so you want to be aggressive with him.Then there is Bell, an emerging star the Chiefs must account for out of the backfield.While Kansas City held the Oakland Raiders to 79 yards rushing in Week 15, the Chiefs were hurt in Weeks 11 to 14 with a total of 738 yards rushing allowed.dddddddddddd.Bell ranks second in the league in rushing with 1,278 yards and the former Michigan State star is a good receiver out of the backfield with 76 catches for 765 yards.Bells 2,043 yards from scrimmage rank second in the NFL and set a single-season team record.Bell has the admiration from a fellow Spartans alum on the Chiefs, who will be on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage attempting to keep Bell in check.Hes a Michigan State guy, Chiefs defensive end Kevin Vickerson said. I know how hes built coming from a program like that. Hes a bell cow. Hes used to that pounding and gets better through the course of the game toward the end. We just got to stay pounding him.Pittsburgh ranks sixth in the league in scoring (27.8 points per game).The Chiefs approach against the Steelers appears to be one of containment with an understanding of the difficulties to completely shut down elite players.A great offence is going to score eventually, but its how fast can they score, Chiefs safety Kurt Coleman said. If we can make them run the clock out and give our offence the ball, we got to be able to create a turnover. I think thats going to be the name of the game: Who can control the line of scrimmage, who can limit the big plays, and then who can get the most turnovers?NOTES: Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe (illness), defensive end Jaye Howard (illness) and tight end Anthony Fasano (knee) did not practice Wednesday. ... Running back Jamaal Charles (knee, ankle) was limited. ... Cornerback Phillip Gaines (concussion) and defensive end Allen Bailey (concussion), both of whom did not play in Week 15, returned to a full practice. ... The NFL selected Chiefs running back/punt returner DeAnthony Thomas as the AFC special teams player of the week. ... Thomas recorded eight punt returns for 156 yards, including an 81-yard punt return for a touchdown, in Week 15.___Online:AP NFL websites: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Buffalo Sabres Gear Wholesale Calgary Flames Jerseys Cheap Adidas Colorado Avalanche Jerseys Montreal Canadiens Outlet Store Wholesale New Jersey Devils Jerseys Adidas Arizona Coyotes Jerseys Cheap Adidas Boston Bruins Jerseys Cheap Adidas Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys Chicago Blackhawks Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys Dallas Stars Shop Free Shipping Cheap Adidas Detroit Red Wings Jerseys Anaheim Ducks Jerseys China Wholesale Edmonton Oilers Jerseys Florida Panthers Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Los Angeles Kings Jerseys Minnesota Wild Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Nashville Predators Jerseys Cheap Adidas New York Islanders Jerseys New York Rangers Winter Classic Jerseys Cheap Adidas Ottawa Senators Jerseys Cheap Adidas Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys Wholesale Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys Cheap Adidas San Jose Sharks Jerseys St. Louis Blues Winter Classic Jerseys Wholesale Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys Toronto Maple Leafs Outlet Store Vancouver Canucks Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Adidas Washington Capitals Jerseys Cheap Adidas Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
