SAN DIEGO -- Melvin Upton Jr. capped a remarkable first half for the San Diego Padres with a magnificent walk-off home run.Upton hit a 440-foot homer on the first pitch of the ninth from Andrew Miller to give the Padres a 2-1 victory against the New York Yankees on Saturday night.It was his third walk-off homer of the season, a team record, landing in the second balcony on the Western Metal Supply Co. brick warehouse in the left-field corner.Ive seen him a lot in the past, so I had a pretty good feel for him and just got something I could handle, said Upton, who has 13 homers. `You never go up and try to hit a home run, just go up and try to put a good A-B together against a very good pitcher.It was Uptons seventh career walk-off homer and his 11th career walk-off hit.Upton said this season, his second in San Diego, is probably the most fun in a while, but Im just glad to have the opportunity to play every day, man.Upton, limited to 87 games last year due to a foot injury, has five more homers than his brother, Justin, who was his teammate with the Padres last year before signing with Detroit.Hes done it enough, hasnt he? manager Andy Green said. Its almost ridiculous how good hes been in pivotal situations. He continues to amaze. Hes a low-heartbeat guy. Theres not a lot that ruffles him. Hes really even-keel. I think to some degree hes probably gotten a bad rap for that over the years, like theres nothing that fazes him. Hes just smooth, glides through the game, everythings relaxed.Miller said he tried to throw a fastball down and away. That pitch is much better located for him. I didnt do it. I wasnt very sharp in general and I paid for it.I just wasnt very good, Miller said. It was not where I wanted to throw that ball. I paid for it, unfortunately. It would have been nice to get some more at-bats. I just didnt do my job.Miller (5-1) was starting his second inning for the Yankees.Brad Hand (2-2) pitched the ninth for the win.There were three replays that took a total of 10 minutes, 10 seconds. Among them was Matt Kemp being thrown out trying to score from second on Uptons single to right to end the sixth.I thought all three of those were ridiculously close today, Green said. All of them hurt us, but at the end, Melvin did what he does.Starters Ivan Nova of the Yankees and Drew Pomeranz of the Padres each allowed one run before turning it over to the bullpens.New York took a 1-0 lead in the sixth when Jacoby Ellsbury hit a leadoff double, advanced on Brett Gardners bunt single and scored on Starlin Castros groundout.San Diego tied it in the bottom of the inning when Wil Myers walked and scored on Kemps double. Kemp tried to score on Uptons single to right, but Rob Refsnyder made a great throw home to Austin Romine, who then blocked the plate with his left foot and tagged Kemp. The Padres challenged, but the call stood after a review of 3:19.The longest replay was 4:20 after Romine was thrown out after a nice throw by third baseman Yangervis Solarte on a slow roller. The call was overturned and Romine was safe with an infield single, but Nova struck out to end the inning.Nova held the Padres to one run and four hits in 5 2/3 innings, struck out seven and walked one.Pomeranz also allowed just one run, and five hits, while striking out seven and walking none.The problem tonight was we didnt score, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Pomeranz has an outstanding curveball and we never were able to solve it. He was tough on our guys. It looked like it might be a 1-0 game.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: Girardi said Carlos Beltran, slowed by a tight right hamstring, will be the DH Monday at Chicago.Padres: Manager Andy Green said RHP Erik Johnson has a flexor tendon strain and is expected to be out for three to six weeks.UP NEXTYankees: RHP Chad Green (0-1, 7.20) is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for his third stint with the team. Itll be his second career start and third appearance.Padres: RHP Andrew Cashner (3-5, 4.75) is due to come off the disabled list to make his first start since June 10, when he was removed from his start at Colorado with a strained neck after throwing just six pitches.

TORONTO -- Europe coach Ralph Krueger was well aware of the odds against his team in the World Cup of Hockey. His players didnt focus on that and instead listened to his message.The speed at which Europe (2-0) has bought into what Krueger was preaching has them sitting atop Group A following a 3-2 overtime victory over the Czech Republic on Monday.They always believed wed have a shot at being where we are today. Probably nobody outside of our room did, Krueger said. We havent even spoken about winning, weve just spoken about execution and growth since Day 1, but we never used any negative motivators.Were not done with these two games, we want to continue into the next game and bring a high level and compete onwards.Leon Draisaitl at 2:06 of overtime, taking a pass from Mats Zuccarello and beating Czech goalie Petr Mrazek low on his blocker side for his second goal of the tournament.Zdeno Chara and Zuccarello scored in regulation while Jaroslav Halak stopped 28 shots for his second win of the tournament.Jakub Voracek and Martin Hanzal responded for the Czech Republic (0-2), which is all but eliminated from advancing to the semifinals. Mrazek made 38 saves.Its not great, we lost two games and we dont have much chance right now to go to semis, said Hanzal, who scored his first of the tournament in the third period to force overtime. Weve got to hope that Canada loses twice, its going to be really hard, but theres still a chance.The Czechs now have two days off before concluding the preliminary round against the United States. Europee plays Sweden.ddddddddddddEurope took a 2-1 lead at 2:17 of the third period on Zuccarellos first of the tournament. Moments after sprawling out to rob Roman Josi with a huge glove save, Mrazek mishandled Zuccarellos fluttering wrist shot.Hanzal tied it 2-2 on a power play at 8:31 of the third, picking up the bounce off the end boards off of a Vladimir Sobotkas point shot and beating Halak.Chara opened the scoring at 10:04 of the second period, beating a screened Mrazek with a floater from the top of the faceoff circle for his first of the tournament.The Czechs nearly respond moments later as the puck got behind Halak, but Dennis Seidenberg was there to clear it off the goal line.Voracek tied it with 6:32 left in the middle period as he got around a pinching Josi and beat Halak.Europe outshot the Czechs 21-9 in the second period and had plenty of opportunities to take over the game.Just over two minutes in and with Europe already on a power play, Czech defenseman Michal Kempny jumped on a loose puck in the crease giving Europe a penalty shot. Anze Kopitar took the shot but could not beat Mrazek with a backhand deke.Then, just past the six-minute mark of the second, Marian Hossa beat Halak glove side, but his wrist shot deflected off the post.We really got together within the room, Draisaitl said. By now, everyone kind of knows their role and thats really important on a team. We just clicked as a team. ' ' '
