SAN DIEGO -- It didnt result in a win but Kevin Correia gave the Pittsburgh Pirates a great effort. Wholesale Super Bowl 47 Jerseys . Just one day after pitching two innings in Pittsburghs 6-hour, 7-minute 6-3 win in 19 innings on Sunday afternoon at St. Louis, Correia was back on the mound. But Edinson Volquez struck out 10 and Will Venable drove in two runs to lift the San Diego Padres to a 3-1 victory over the Pirates on Monday night. San Diego, which snapped a five-game losing streak Sunday, has won 16 of 19 against the Pirates. Pittsburgh is a half-game ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers for the final wild-card berth. Correia (9-8) started in place of scheduled starter Wandy Rodriguez despite throwing 24 pitches in Sundays win. Correia, who went into the game with a 75-pitch limit, gave up three runs -- two earned -- and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings. He was pulled with runners on first and second after walking Yasmani Grandal with one out in the fifth on his 72nd pitch. "I wish I could have thrown a little bit better," Correia said. "It would have been tough to beat (Volquez)." Volquez (8-9), who had a 13.83 ERA in his previous four starts, allowed one run and five hits. The right-hander walked three and hit a batter. It was the first time Volquez has pitched past the fourth inning in four starts this month. Correia became the first Pirate since Pascual Perez in 1981 to pitch in relief one day and then start the next days game. "I felt fine most of the whole game," Correia said. "His effort was solid and he gave us a chance to win the game," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. Volquez got help from his bullpen, which pitched 2 1-3 scoreless innings. Included in that group were Brad Brach and Dale Thayer, both of whom each struck out NL batting leader Andrew McCutcheon late in the game with runners on base. Brachs strikeout came after he relieved Volquez in the seventh with runners on first and second. He struck out McCutcheon on a full-count fastball after falling behind 2-0. "I just reared back and threw it up and at the top of the (strike) zone and he swung through it," Brach said. "Youre just trying to make your pitches in that situation." Thayer pitched the ninth for his seventh save in nine chances and struck out McCutcheon to end the game with a runner on first. McCutcheon went 1 for 5 as his average dropped to .352. The Padres reached Correia, a former teammate, for two runs in the first inning. Everth Cabrera led off with a double and scored on Venables single. After a passed ball and groundout, Venable scored on Grandals infield out. Cameron Maybin led off the San Diego second with a single, went to second on a sacrifice and to third on Cabreras infield single. Venable followed with an RBI single for a 3-0 lead. The Pirates finally reached Volquez when McCutcheon led off with an infield single and went to second on third baseman Chase Headleys throwing error.

Earnhardt, who won at Michigan International Speedway in June to snap a four-year losing streak, will have to start from the back Sunday in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race. He rubbed against the wall in practice Saturday and will need to go to a backup car. "We were making some changes on the car and got the car too loose, and it just came out from under me in the corner," Earnhardt said. "I probably was running harder than I should have been in practice." Series points leader Jimmie Johnson also will be in back because of an engine change. Earnhardt tested his backup car at MIS, back in June. "We know a lot about the car here at this particular track, where in most cases you dont. So we have that going for us," Earnhardt said. "We should be able to put a car out there thats relatively in the ballpark. Other than just starting in the back, I dont think that its hurt our chances too much." Johnson said his team discovered an issue before practice Saturday and decided to change the engine. "We probably could have run some of this practice, but I think we had to change the engine regardless," he said. "We didnt want to oil the track or create an issue and crash our car." Johnson was third in qualifying Friday. Earnhardt was 22nd. Earnhardt broke through at this track in June, winning for the first time in 144 Cup races. Hes fourth in the points standings and has nine top-five finishes, but lately he has had his share of problems. He led the points race even after finishing 32nd at Pocono two weeks ago -- he was forced to the garage at one point because of a busted transmission. Then last weekend at Watkinss Glen, he was in the top 10 before a late spin sent him on his way to a 28th-place showing. Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys. The last driver to sweep the two Cup races at MIS was Bobby Labonte in 1995. Earnhardt has nine top-10 finishes in 26 starts at the track. "Getting over that hurdle, getting that first win does a lot to relieve you," Earnhardt said. "It reassures you that your team can win. I think if we were still winless, we would still feel a bit snake-bitten, or somewhat cursed I guess in a way. That might mess your psyche a little bit, mess with you mentally. But once you do break through that barrier, it definitely gives you a reason to believe that you can do it again." Hell have his work cut out for him Sunday after his practice mishap, but the victory two months ago has helped Earnhardts confidence. "To me Dale has been really focused and really into everything that I have been part of this season with him," said Kasey Kahne, Earnhardts teammate with Hendrick Motorsports. "Hes into the racing thing as much as Ive seen him. I havent been really close with Dale over the years, but Ive known him and been friends with him. I think hes as passionate and into the racing as Ive seen him right now, so thats good to see." Earnhardt had some good news Friday when the Army National Guard extended its relationship with Hendrick Motorsports. The National Guard will stay on as a sponsor of Earnhardts No. 88 Cup team. That took some of the focus off his recent struggles. Another good showing at MIS would help too. "There is a little bit of added pressure to go back out and have the same performance and run the same," he said Friday, before qualifying. "I know that is not always likely." ' ' '
