SAN DIEGO - Kirk Gibson thought about calling for a sacrifice when Chris Young came to the plate with a runner on first in the 11th inning. The manager ended up letting him swing away, and it proved to be the right decision. Young hit a two-run homer and the Arizona Diamondbacks remained undefeated with a 4-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night. After Micah Owings (0-1) hit leadoff batter Gerardo Parra, Gibson considered having Young advance the runner, but decided against the move. Young sent the next pitch into the lower deck of the left-field stands for his second homer. "We talked about it before the inning if Parra got a hit," Young said. "Im glad he decided not to." Gibson thought Owings and the Padres might be expecting a bunt. "Our dilemma was should we bunt him or not and obviously we went against that," Gibson said. "He came through with a huge hit for us there." Craig Breslow (1-0) pitched a perfect 10th inning to earn the victory against his former team, lifting Arizona to its first 4-0 start. The Diamondbacks are the only unbeaten team in the National League. Yonder Alonso hit a leadoff single in the 11th for San Diego, but J.J. Putz retired the next three batters for his third save in three chances. "Weve played so many games in this park, and this is a typical game here where it just kind of hangs close," Gibson said. "As the night goes on, you dont really expect home runs. You get a lot of close baseball in this park, and we did again tonight, but fortunately we won." The Diamondbacks held a 2-1 lead before Orlando Hudson tripled and scored on Jason Bartletts single in the seventh. San Diego advanced a runner to third in the ninth, but David Hernandez struck out Cameron Maybin to end the threat. "We had trouble locating the ball tonight for whatever reason," Gibson said. "I dont know if the umpire had a tight zone or what it was, but the guys didnt get too frustrated. We adapted to the zone and we were able to get the win tonight." Trevor Cahill pitched six strong innings in his debut for Arizona, despite issuing six walks to his hometown team. Cahill, who was acquired from Oakland in a five-player trade in December, grew up about 40 miles north of San Diego and was facing the Padres for the first time in his career. "I didnt feel nervous or anything," Cahill said. "I thought I was, but I just didnt know where the ball was going. I made some good pitches when I had to. After a while, I guess I settled down a little bit." Cahill struck out five and threw more balls (54) than strikes (50). "We couldnt get the big hit," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Cahill gave us the opportunity via the base on balls. When we had some runners out there, he seemed to make a pitch." Paul Goldschmidts two-run double was one of three hits in the first against Edinson Volquez, who allowed only two more hits over the next six innings. Volquez struck out a season-high eight, including a stretch of four batters in a row, and issued three walks. NOTES: Arizona OF Justin Upton was scratched from the starting lineup with an injured thumb. Upton hurt himself sliding into second base on Sunday, but X-rays were negative. Upton entered the game in the 11th to play right field. ...

While the spotlight has been on potential first overall draft pick Jadeveon Clowney and his 40-yard time, and top quarterback prospect Blake Bortles during the throwing drills, top prospects Greg Robinson and Sammy Watkins have impressed scouts enough to solidify or even boost their spots on draft boards.

"Its time that you look at it," chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel said, setting the stage for a rigorous first day of cross-examination of Pistorius, the double-amputee Olympian charged with premeditated murder for shooting Reeva Steenkamp three times through a toilet door at his home. Adam Vinatieri Jersey . Louis Blues remain at the top spot of the TSN.ANAHEIM, Calif. - All three goals in the game were scored by a guy from Finland named Teemu. Fortunately, for the Edmonton Oilers, two of them came from Teemu Hartikainen. The 21-year-old left wing scored his first two goals of the season early in the opening period, Devan Dubnyk made 32 saves and the Oilers beat Anaheim 2-1 on Sunday night to spoil the Ducks home finale -- and what night have been the final home game for Teemu Selanne in the NHL. "He was the biggest hockey player when I was growing up," Hartikainen said. "He was kind of my idol. Being on the ice at the same time in the faceoffs tonight, it was a great opportunity." Selanne isnt expected to announce whether he will return for a 20th NHL season until sometime in July, when he and his family return to Southern California from a 10-week stay in Finland. If he returns, he would become the 54th non-goaltender to play at least part of 20 NHL campaigns. "Obviously, Im going to have another tough decision to make again, but I dont really know whats going to happen," Selanne said. "Im going to stick with my plan, take some time off and see how I feel." Selanne, who turns 42 on July 3, leads Anaheim with 65 points. Earlier in the week, he became the second-oldest player behind Gordie Howe to score 25 goals in a season. But despite his efforts, the Ducks wont be back in the playoffs this year. "Its pretty sad that were not making the post-season, but theres a reason for that," Selanne said. "The first half was just so bad that we couldnt climb back into the playoff race. We always did before, but this time we ran out of gas." Coach Bruce Boudreau bristled when asked what Selanne leading the team in points at age 41 says about himself -- and about the team. "What are you saying -- that the teams not that good because an older guy led us in scoring? It means that Teemus great. Thats what it means," Boudreau snapped. "It has nothing to say about the team. I mean, theres probably 21 teams in the league he would have led in scoring. When he has the puck, hes so smart with it he can hold onto it and wait for someone to get open. Off the ice he takes care of himself and he trains right. And when youve got the God-given ability that he has, you can last a long time." The standing-room-only crowd of 17,266 gave Selanne a standing ovation when he was shown on the video board with 5:02 left, and Boudreau immediately sent him onto the ice for his next shift. Moments later, he was serenaded with chants of "One more year! One more year!" "It was unbelievable. Its almost funny that they were chanting that for an old guy like me," Selanne said.dddddddddddd. "But its was great. Obviously, theres a lot of respect from our fans. Ive always had a very special relationship with them, and its just an honour to play for them. Its almost like having a seventh player behind you." Boudreau is as much in the dark as everyone else as to whether hell have Selanne on his roster in 2012-13. "I have no idea. I really dont have a gut feeling," Boudreau said. "He plays his cards close to the chest and he doesnt let on one way or another. I dont even want to speculate." Selanne put the Ducks on the board at 14:12 of the first with his 26th goal and 663rd of his career. Niklas Hagman skated the puck out from behind the net as he was being checked by Sam Gagner, then spun around and passed it between defenceman Ryan Whitneys legs to Selanne for an easy tap-in. Hagman earned his 300th NHL point on the play. "To give up one, Im glad it was him (Selanne), at least," Dubnyk said. "I dont think he has any reason to go anywhere unless he wants to. Hes certainly one of the most dangerous guys in the league -- that Ive seen, anyway." Jonas Hiller, who has set franchise records with 70 starts and 71 appearances, stopped 13 Edmonton shots and finished his home slate 19-16-2. The Oilers pounced on a sloppy turnover in the Ducks zone and scored just 15 seconds after the opening faceoff. Luca Sbisa misplayed a cross-ice pass from defence partner Sheldon Brookbank, and Jordan Eberle gained control of the puck before setting up Hartikainen in the shot for a 30-foot wrist shot that beat Hiller to the glove side. The 21-year-old left wing, playing in his 14th game this season and 26th in the NHL, scored again on a deflection of Whitneys wrist shot at 6:04. Edmonton centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins earned his 51st point of the season with an assist on Hartikainens second goal and is tied with Colorados Gabriel Landeskog for NHL lead among rookies, one ahead of New Jerseys Adam Henrigue. No Oilers player has ever won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year. Nugent-Hopkins has played in 59 games -- 21 fewer than Landeskog and 12 fewer than Henrigue. Notes: Anaheim concludes its schedule with a three-game trip through Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary. ... The only team to shut out the Ducks in Anaheim this season was Buffalo, when Ryan Miller made 43 saves in the Sabres 2-1 win. ... The Ducks sold out nine of their 40 games in Anaheim and were 4-5 in those contests. ... Getzlaf has scored seven of his nine goals on home ice. ... Anaheim D Mat Clark made his NHL debut at age 21.
