SAN DIEGO -- Miguel Montero and the Arizona Diamondbacks are moving up. Montero hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning, lifting the Diamondbacks past the Padres 3-1 on Saturday night and out of last place in the NL West. The Diamondbacks started the season 8-22. With the win, they moved percentage points ahead of the Padres in the standings at 35-48. "I guess its good to get out of last place," Montero said. "I hope we continue like that and see where we are going." Montero struck out against Eric Stults in his first at-bat but connected for his 11th home run next time up. The homer came on a changeup, something he had missed on in his earlier at-bat. When Stults tried to fool him later, Montero was ready. "I put a good swing on that one," he said. "It was middle, middle-in, and sometimes those are pulled foul. But it stayed fair so I guess I stayed inside the ball very good." Josh Collmenter (6-5) pitched 5 1-3 innings, giving up one run and five hits as Arizona won consecutive games for the first time since June 7-8 against Atlanta. Addison Reed worked the ninth inning for his 19th save in 22 chances. He was the fourth Arizona reliever, a group which didnt allow a hit or run over the final 3 2-3 innings. "I kind of wished I would have gone deeper in the game," Collmenter said. "But the bullpen did a great job tonight." Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson saluted his bullpen as well, and noted it was a typical game at Petco Park. "Its hard to score in this park and we played just well enough to win," he said. It was difficult for Padres manager Bud Black to accept the loss, the Padres third straight defeat. "One bad pitch," Black said of Stults offering to Montero. "Tried to get a changeup down and away and he just missed his spot." Stults (2-11) became the majors leader in losses, with an NL-high 5.36 ERA. He also went 5 1-3 innings and yielded three runs -- two earned -- while giving up just three hits. Stults walked three for the second straight game and stuck out two in losing his career-high sixth consecutive start. Paul Goldschmidt was aboard for Monteros homer, after walking and reaching second on a botched double-play attempt. Martin Prado grounded to Chase Headley, but his throw to second baseman Alexi Amarista was high, with Goldschmidt being safe. Amarista retired Prado at first, a play which was challenged by Gibson but upheld. "I just got underneath it a little bit and it sailed," Headley said. "Lexi did a great job to make a play and get an out still." When Stults hit Cody Ross right after Montero homered, he was pulled in favour of Alex Torres. He prevented further damage by getting Gerardo Parra and Collmenter on grounders to first base. Matt Stites relieved Collmenter in the sixth inning, and walked Cameron Maybin to load the bases with two outs. But Rene Rivera, who had two hits, struck out. The Diamondbacks tied the score in the third inning, thanks in part to an error by Rivera. Ender Inciarte singled and stole second, advancing to third when Riveras throw was off line. Inciarte scored on Prados one-out sacrifice fly. Tommy Medica drove in the games first run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning. Chris Denorfia opened the inning with a double and took third on Seth Smiths grounder to first base. The Padres threatened in the fifth inning when Rivera led off with a single and moved to second base on a sacrifice bunt by Everth Cabrera. But Amarista flied out and Stults struck out.

Stitched California Jerseys . -- The Oakland Raiders added a veteran presence to their young receiving group by signing free agent James Jones to a three-year contract Monday.Graham DeLaet may not have won the Barclays on Sunday, but his performance did help him in a few significant ways. First, the Weyburn, Saskatchewan product climbed inside the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Hes now at 48, the highest of his career. If he were to hold that spot at the end of this season, hed earn a slew of benefits, such as entry to the World Golf Championship events as well as The Masters. The bigger boost for DeLaet, however, is that he moved to 10th on the Presidents Cup ranking. The team will be announced next week, following the Deutsche Bank Championship. Theres a very good chance that DeLaet will hold 10th spot, in which case hed earn a place on the team. He could potentially be passed by a player such as Tim Clark, who is in the field at the Deutsche Bank, or Tongchai Jaidee, who is playing the European Tours stop in Wales, which he won last year. But even 11th might be good enough. At the moment, Louis Oosthuizen is ranked fifth but hes been on the shelf sincce the start of August and isnt expected to return to action until the end of September.dddddddddddd Whether hed be ready to play in the Presidents Cup after a two-month layoff is something captain Nick Price will no doubt bring up with the popular South African. If he sits out, that would bring the 11th-place finisher onto the team. And even if all of that came to fruition, youd have to think that DeLaet, with six top-10s this year, would be a captains pick for Price. DeLaet said making the Presidents Cup team was one of his top goals for 2013 and it appears its one hes going to achieve. Hed be just the second Canadian on that squad after Mike Weir, who played on five teams. Not to be overlooked is the fact that DeLaet is sitting seventh in the FedEx Cup standings. It would appear that barring a total collapse in the next two events, hell be in the field for the Tour Championship. That means a good payday and also loads of exemptions for next season, including all four majors.
