DENVER -- After getting overpowered by Jon Gray on Saturday night, the San Diego Padres will try to avoid getting swept Sunday in their series with the Colorado Rockies.Gray set a franchise record with 16 strikeouts, the most ever in a game at Coors Field. The Padres, meanwhile, are dealing with weightier matters than trying to win a ballgame.After Saturdays 8-0 loss, Padres manager Andy Green announced that Padres third baseman Yangervis Solartes wife passed away earlier in the day, before game time, due to complications from cancer. Yuliette Solarte was 31.Yangervis Solarte was scratched from the lineup Friday and left the team to be with his wife and their three daughters in Florida. Solarte has played in 101 games this season, hitting .284 with a career-high 15 home runs. He was sidelined for six weeks in April and May with a hamstring strain missed four games in July to be with his wife.Solarte has told the Padres he would like to return before the season ends and bring his daughters to the San Diego Padres.The Padres might have to summon a catcher in the wake of Derek Norris injury Saturday night. He left the game in the fifth after getting hit with a foul tip and suffering a sprained left middle finger.Hector Sanchez, who replaced Norris and is expected to start Sunday, is the Padres only catcher. Green said X-rays were negative on Norris, whose status for coming off the bench remains to be seen. The Padres could recall catcher Austin Hedges from Triple-A El Paso, which clinched the Pacific Coast League title Saturday and will play a Triple-A championship game Tuesday in Memphis.Jarred Cosart, who missed his last start after suffering a strained right hamstring and groin, which forced him to leave a Sept. 7 outing, will return to the mound for the Padres.It will be his 12th start overall and eighth for the Padres. Norris, who was acquired from Miami on July 29, is 0-3 with a 5.16 ERA in his 11 games. Cosart has never pitched against the Rockies.Were going to stick with what we initially planned and hoped would happen, Green said. He felt good coming through his throwing sessions. His legs fine, so we feel good about starting him and were going to proceed with the rotation as weve layed out after that.Chad Bettis, who is 12-7 with a 4.78 ERA, will start for the Rockies.Hes 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA in six career starts against the Padres and 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA against them in two starts at Coors Field. This season, Bettis is 1-1 with a 3.32 ERA against the Padres in three starts.Bettis will be making his second straight start against the Padres. Last Sunday, he gave up four hits and two runs in seven innings but wasnt involved in the decision as the Rockies won 3-2 in 10 innings.In his past three starts, a stretch that includes a complete-game two-hit shutout against San Francisco on Sept. 5, Bettis is 2-0 with a 1.57 ERA (23 innings, four earned runs) and two walks and 18 strikeouts.Rockies outfielder David Dahl returned to the lineup Saturday night for the first time in five games and was 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored.Rockies manager Walt Weiss said he told Dahl during the last road trip that some signs of fatigue were showing. Dahl was also dealing with left elbow soreness.So those are the reasons I gave him a little bit of a break, Weiss said. Hes going to be in there a lot the rest of the way.Dahl, 22, began the season at Double-A Hartford, moved up to Triple-A Albuquerque and made his major league debut July 27. Dahls pinch-hit single during the Rockies game-winning rally in the ninth inning Friday night broke an 0-for-14 slide. His two-hit game Saturday was Dahls 14th multi-hit game out of the 49 he has played in his career.Hes hitting .316 (56-for-177) with nine doubles, three triples, six homers, 20 RBI and 37 runs scored. Dahl has a .363 on-base percentage and a .503 slugging percentage.He gives you a good at-bat, period, whether its coming off the bat or in the starting lineup, Weiss said. Weve seen that from the get-go. Hes very much under control in the batters box. Hes looked that way the entire time hes been up here. Fake NBA Jerseys .

With the Three Lions not back in action until March of next year, we reflect on a tumultuous year for the national team.From beating Germany in Berlin to Southgates audition to succeed Sam Allardyce, here are Englands key moments from 2016. Winning in GermanyIts easy to forget that England kicked off 2016 with the dizzying high of a 3-2 win over world champions Germany. They seemed destined for defeat when Toni Kroos and Mario Gomez put the hosts 2-0 up at Berlins Olympic Stadium in March, but Roy Hodgsons youthful side staged a brilliant comeback. Harry Kane celebrates Englands 3-2 win over Germany in Berlin Harry Kane pulled one back with a low finish, then Jamie Vardy equalised with an audacious flick from Nathaniel Clynes cross before England wrapped up a stunning victory when Eric Dier headed home from Jordan Hendersons corner in stoppage time.From Dele Allis brilliant performance to Englands dangerous new strikeforce, there were plenty of positives for Hodgson. He described it as his greatest night since taking the job, and while it was only a friendly, it felt like a welcome boost ahead of the summer at Euro 2016.Rashfords emergenceAfter scoring with his first shots on his Europa League and Premier League debuts for Manchester United, the irrepressible Marcus Rashford repeated the trick on his England bow against Australia in May. The teenager, picked ahead of Daniel Sturridge, took just three minutes to make his mark. Marcus Rashford celebrates after scoring the first goal for England against Australia His volleyed finish at the Stadium of Light was struck with unerring accuracy, and at 18 years and 208 days, it made him the youngest player to score on his England debut - beating a record set by Tommy Lawton in 1938.

Im delighted for Marcus and delighted that hes received such praise, said Hodgson. Im also delighted that my decision to thrust him into the side was not proved to be ridiculous. He tired a bit in the second half but what a debut.Iceland humiliationThe pre-Euro 2016 optimism evaporated as England struggled through the group stages, but they appeared to have lucked out when they were pitted against minnows Iceland in the last 16. England slumped to a shock defeat by Iceland at Euro 2016 England were huge favourites to set up a mouth-watering quarter-final against hosts France, but instead they exited the tournament in abject humiliation.dddddddddddd Wayne Rooneys early penalty was cancelled out within two minutes by Ragnar Sigurdsson, and Kolbein Sigthorsson put Iceland in front shortly afterwards.England had over 70 minutes to turn the match around, but their response was pitiful as they froze on the big stage. Simple passes went astray and shots were miscued, with the England fans in Nice venting their frustration with chants of youre not fit to wear the shirt. Hodgson resigned immediately, and England packed their bags.Big Sams short stayA month after the Iceland debacle, the FA announced the appointment of Sam Allardyce on a two-year contract. The former Bolton, West Ham and Sunderland manager vowed to turn Englands fortunes around, but one game and 67 days later, he left his post by mutual consent following a newspaper sting. Sam Allardyce speaks to the press after leaving his post as England manager Allardyce was filmed discussing how to circumvent rules on player transfers, and the video footage also appeared to show him mocking his predecessor Hodgson and criticising the FAs decision to rebuild Wembley. Allardyce apologised in a meeting with FA chiefs, but two days later he was gone.On reflection it was a silly thing to do, he reflected. I was trying to help someone out I knew for 30 years and unfortunately it was an error in judgement on my behalf. Entrapment has won on this occasion.Southgate makes his caseGareth Southgate will be hoping he has done enough to lead England into 2017. The former U21 manager steered England to two wins and two draws after being placed in temporary charge in September, and while he might not be an appointment to set the pulses racing, he seems well placed to take the job permanently. Gareth Southgate is expected to be made Englands permanent manager There were plenty of positive signs in the 3-0 win over Scotland, and for 89 minutes against Spain Southgate must have thought he had the job in the bag. Englands late collapse at Wembley was a reminder of how ruthless international football can be. Southgate will be hoping it doesnt encourage the FA to look elsewhere.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday and get the first six months half price!
