DENVER -- Head down and arms churning, pinch hitter Yasmani Grandal hustled his way down the line and lunged for first base. Maybe the throw beat him to the bag, maybe it didnt. He couldnt really tell. Grandal drove in the go-ahead run with a fielders choice grounder in the 12th inning to lift the San Diego Padres to a 6-5 win over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday night. But the bang-bang play wasnt without some drama. With the bases loaded and one out, Grandal sent a chopper to third that Nolan Arenado fielded behind the bag, stepping on the base and quickly throwing to first. Grandal was ruled safe, though replays appeared to show he may have been out by a step. Rockies manager Walt Weiss ran out to argue with first base umpire Ed Hickox before returning to the dugout. A bad break for the Rockies. However, Arenado admitted after the game that he didnt step on the bag before throwing, even though the runner was called out. That could have been a bad break for the Padres. "All that matters is that we got a run and we ended up winning," Grandal said. Padres manager Bud Black played coy about the game-deciding play, insisting he hadnt seen a replay yet so he was going to reserve judgment. "All I know is liked how the game turned out," said Black, whose team snapped a six-game skid against the Rockies. "Loved how the game turned out. "A lot of resolve from our group. Its a great win. If you lose that, its a tough one." Certainly is. "Thats how it goes sometimes," Weiss said. Luke Gregerson (4-2) pitched two shutout innings and Brad Boxberger threw the 12th for his first save of the season, getting Michael Cuddyer to ground out to end the game. Manuel Corpas (0-1) gave up a one-out single to Chase Headley and a double to Kyle Blanks in the 12th. He intentionally walked Jedd Gyorko to set the stage for Grandal. All this after Wilin Rosario tied the game with a two-run homer in the eighth. He also had an RBI double in the sixth. Cameron Maybin drove in two runs in his return from the disabled list after missing 45 games with a right wrist injury. The speedy outfielder finished 2 for 5 with a walk and two stolen bases. Maybin led off the 11th with a liner that bounced off the glove of Eric Young Jr., and the hustling Maybin easily coasted into third. Nick Hundley lined a ball to second baseman D.J. LeMahieu and then Alexi Amarista hit one-hopper to Corpas, who threw home to get Maybin after he broke on contact. Everth Cabrera struck out to end the inning. Young had a chance to win it in the 11th with a deep drive to centre, but Maybin hauled it in at the warning track. "Cam had a nice night, no doubt about it," said Black, whose team jumped out to a four-run lead in the fourth only to see it evaporate. The Rockies squandered a chance to end the game in the ninth when Jonathan Herrera began by drawing a walk and was bunted over to second. Arenado sent a sinking liner to right field, but it was caught by a hard-charging Chris Denorfia. Carlos Gonzalez then flew out to end the inning. Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki, the heart of the Rockies order, finished a combined 0 for 11. "Thats hard to do, especially the way theyre swinging it," Black said. Andrew Cashner threw seven solid innings, surrendering three runs, and was in line for the win before the bullpen let it slip away. Dale Thayer entered in the eighth and gave up a two-out single to Jordan Pacheco followed by Rosarios two-run homer to left. Cashner accomplished a feat that few pitchers have this season -- he bottled up Gonzalez and Tulowitzki. The power hitters entered the game with 90 combined RBIs, the most in the NL among teammates. Even more, Gonzalez and Tulowitzki were coming off a contest in Cincinnati on Wednesday in which they went a combined 8 for 10 with five homers and nine RBIs. But they couldnt get anything going against Cashner, finishing a combined 0 for 7. Gonzalez, in particular, struggled against Cashner, striking out twice and popping out in foul territory with runners on board in the fifth. "Crazy game," Weiss said. "The guys were locked in 24 hours ago. Its not going to be that way every night." NOTES: To make room on the roster for Maybin, San Diego placed INF Yonder Alonso (bruised right hand) on the 15-day disabled list. Alonso has six homers and a team-leading 29 RBIs this season. ... The Rockies havent announced who will throw Saturday in place of RHP Tyler Chatwood, whos expected to miss one start after leaving his last outing in Cincinnati with soreness in his triceps. He was scheduled for light throwing Thursday to see how the arm responded. "Hes got to pass all the tests to make sure we dont have to DL him," Weiss said. ... The Rockies were without OF Dexter Fowler, who was held out of the starting lineup for a second straight day because of sickness.

Note: The Calgary Flames announced Tuesday that Sean Monahan would not be made available to Canadas World Junior team. SEATTLE -- Despite some early struggles, Hisashi Iwakuma continued his roll on the mound and with it advanced the suddenly improving hopes of the Seattle Mariners getting back into the postseason conversation.Those struggles were just a minor blip for Iwakuma on his way to another masterful performance, throwing seven strong innings in Seattles 3-0 win over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night.He is in a really good spot, a good roll and he feels that when he gets off mechanically for a few pitches hes able to correct it and get back on, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. A testament you dont have to throw 93, 95 to get them out in this league if you execute and make pitches.Iwakuma won for the seventh time in his last eight starts, backed by RBI singles from Mike Zunino and Kyle Seager off Michael Fulmer in the second inning as Seattle opened a key three-game series with its fourth straight win.The Mariners moved within 2 1/2 games of Detroit and Boston for the second wild card in the American League.The pitching is amazing, Seattles Nelson Cruz said. If we want to make a run thats what we need. Theyve been doing a great job.No one has been better for Seattle than Iwakuma. The right-hander allowed five hits and struck out eight, running his streak of scoreless innings at Safeco Field to 21 1/3. He retired 12 of the final 13 batters he faced, including striking out the side in the fourth.Iwakuma (13-7) has developed into the ace of Seattles staff, throwing at least seven innings in eight of his past 14 starts. And he got a little payback after being knocked around by Detroit in June, when he failed to make it through five innings and gave up five runs and 11 hits.When you give up a game you always think about coming back and repaying for that loss, Iwakuma said through an interpreter. Im happy that I got to do it today. Were on a streak right now and I dont want to stop the streak.The performance by Iwakuma offset another solid start from Fulmer. The Tigers rising star threw seven innings and allowed only two hits while striking out six. Three of Seattles five hits off Fulmer (9-3) came in the seconnd inning when the Mariners took an early lead.ddddddddddddThe rookie suffered his first loss since June 17 -- also the last time the Tigers lost when he started.I feel like my misses were in the right spots. ... I think as far as that goes I didnt miss middle too much, Fulmer said. I think its just one inning and after that it felt great.For a change, the runs for Seattle didnt come via the long ball.Cruz led off the second with a double and scored when Seager rolled a ground ball behind Detroits defensive shift and into center field. Seager moved into scoring position when Leonys Martin walked with one out and scored as Zunino was strong enough to dump a broken-bat single over third baseman Casey McGehee and into left field.Seattle added a run in the eighth when Nori Aoki doubled with two outs and scored on Guillermo Heredias RBI single.Iwakuma and a pair of power arms out of the bullpen did the rest. Newly acquired Arquimedes Caminero pitched a perfect eighth in his Seattle debut and rookie Edwin Diaz pitched the ninth for his fifth save.HOME COOKINIwakuma won his eighth straight start at home, surpassing Felix Hernandezs club record.
