SAN DIEGO -- Edwin Jackson was hoping pitching at Petco Park would result in another solid start.But it didnt work out that way as he gave up four runs in a shaky first inning as the San Diego Padres lost 6-0 to the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night.Jackson (1-1), who took a no-hitter into the seventh inning in his San Diego debut against visiting San Francisco on July 17, absorbed his first loss as a Padre.The Padres rotation is looking to the veteran Jackson to give its young staff some balance. The 11-year pro who was called up this month from Triple-A El Paso has become a key starter in a season in which the Padres traded James Shields, Drew Pomeranz, Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea.But Jackson wasnt able to deliver in the opener of this three-game set, giving up six runs and 10 hits in five innings.I left a couple of balls over the plate when I had chances to put people away, and I paid for it, Jackson said.Jacksons downfall was getting too many of his pitches elevated.I thought the first inning he was over the middle of the plate a little more than he cared to be, Padres manager Andy Green said. He caught a lot of the plate early on.Eugenio Suarez tied a career-high with four RBI and Brandon Finnegan pitched six scoreless innings to pace the Reds to their third victory in four games as the Padres were blanked for 12th time this season, tops in the majors.Michael Lorenzen and Blake Wood worked the final three innings to preserve the shutout.San Diego, which grounded into four double plays, also had its 25-game home run streak snapped that tied the National League record set by the 1998 Braves.You cant get too caught up in that, Green said. You just try to square the baseball up as often as you possibly can and we were able to do that for a long stretch.Finnegan (6-8) scattered four hits and sidestepped a few early jams before settling in. He walked three, but he struck out five in recording his third win in his last four decisions.In Jacksons final inning, the Reds tacked on two runs for a 6-0 advantage. Suarez notched a two-RBI single that scored Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips, both aboard via hits.The Padres had a chance to cut into their 4-0 deficit in the second inning when loading the bases with two outs. But Derek Norris lined out to Suarez at third to end the threat.Zack Cozarts one-out double in the first started the Reds off. Rookie left fielder Alex Dickerson, who had homered in four straight games, collided with center fielder Travis Jankowski on Cozarts drive into left-center and was forced to leave the game with a right hip contusion. He is day-to-day.Cozart scored on Jay Bruces sacrifice fly. Phillips followed with an RBI single and Suarez chased in two more with a double to left-center for a 4-0 advantage.TRAINERS ROOMReds: RHP Homer Bailey (right elbow) will exit the disabled list and start on Sunday against the Padres.Padres: RHP Tyson Ross (right shoulder, left ankle) continues to play catch, but theres no timetable for him to resume throwing from the mound.UP NEXTReds: RHP Anthony DeSclafani (6-0, 3.09) looks to win his fourth start of the second half when facing the Padres for the second time this season. He threw a career-high eight innings and allowed but five hits when beating San Diego on June 26.Padres: LHP Christian Friedrich (4-6, 5.00) has quickly become one of the rotations senior members after a flurry of trades. Friedrich is trying to rebound from a rocky outing in which he was charged with five runs and six hits against the Nationals on Sunday. Cheap Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys .

The 29-year-old Briton confirmed his status as the best player on the planet by beating Novak Djokovic, the world No 2, 6-3 6-4 in the final of the ATP World Tour Finals in London on Sunday.It was his 24th consecutive win and his fifth tournament victory in a row. Murray wins ATP finals Andy Murray stays world No 1 after beating Novak Djokovic Murray will now take a fortnight off to celebrate and recuperate, but he is wary of a Djokovic fightback and already has one eye on next season.He told Sky Sports: Today was an amazing day. I felt more like I was playing for No 1 today, rather than the tournament. I have never felt like I was playing a match for a ranking before. Thats all anyone had been speaking to me about in the last few weeks - the media, friends - that was it. Highlights of Murray v Djokovic from the O2 Arena I said a few weeks ago I was most likely going to have to win every match I played between now and the end of the year, and it ended up that way.I would imagine Novak will be back, strong as ever, for next year, so I need to keep improving, work hard in the off-season and hopefully start the year strong. I will rest for two weeks, and then I fly to Miami two weeks tomorrow for two and a half weeks, before coming home for Christmas. Then I head off to Abu Dhabi and Doha - that is where Im starting the year - so I need those couple of weeks off and Im looking forward to it.

I was like, I feel really tired. My fitness trainer said, You have put the work in, you can do this, you have to trust the work that you have done, and I wasnt really believing it. Thankfully, the match started off with shorter points. It was only in the middle part of the set that we started having longer rallies, and if we had started off like that, it would have been hard for me. Thankfully, I had enough to get over the line.Well be back in 2017, but in the meantime you can follow us skysports.com/tennis, or our app for mobile devices and iPad and our Twitter account @skysportstennis.By purchasing a Sky Sports Day Pass for £6.99 or Sky Sports Week Pass for £10.99, you can enjoy access to all seven Sky Sports channels and watch on a TV with a NOW TV Box or on a range of devices.
