SAN DIEGO -- A rare big night from the Padres offence overshadowed Tim Stauffer stepping into the depleted rotation and giving San Diego a strong start.

Kluber Indians Jersey . "That was a great lift for the staff," Padres
manager Bud Black said. Yonder Alonso and Yasmani Grandal homered, and
Chase Headley drove in three runs, as the Padres beat the Chicago Cubs 11-1 on
Friday night. The Padres set a season-high in runs and had 12 hits. Everyone but
Will Venable had at least one hit among the starting position players. But with
starters Andrew Cashner and Robbie Erlin going on the DL this week with elbow
woes, the Padres were in a pickle. They turned to the veteran Stauffer (2-0) and
he didnt disappoint. Making his first start since May 14, 2012 at Washington,
Stauffer pitched five shutout innings and gave up two hits. "And two years from
now it should feel pretty good again," Stauffer joked about his time between
starts. "It felt good and after getting through that first inning, the offence
really set the tone. After that I was just trying to keep pitches down and eat
up some innings and keep the bullpen fresh." Stauffer struck out five, with a
walk and hit batter and earned his win as a starter win since Sept. 16, 2011,
against Arizona. The Padres snapped a four-game losing streak with a performance
which was out-of-character for a team which has been shut out eight times, tops
in the majors. "We havent had many of those games," Black said. "A couple, but
not many. When that happens there is a different feeling in the dugout and a
different vibe. Everyone wants to get to the bat rack, to start hacking and
wanting to get involved." Edwin Jackson (3-4) took the loss, allowing eight runs
and nine hits in just four innings. The Cubs managed one runner in scoring
position through six innings before Welington Castillo drove in Luis Valbuena
with a broken-bat single in the seventh. Three relievers completed the
five-hitter for San Diego. The Padres scored four first-inning runs, matching
their total from the previous three games. Seth Smith drove in two with a single
and after Headley reached on a fielders choice, Alonso smacked his second home
run of the season. The Padres began Friday averaging 2.98 runs per game, the
lowest in the majors. Grandal opened the second inning with his fifth homer,
this one to the opposite field. Everth Cabrera and Cameron Maybin singled and
Headley brought them home with a booming double to right for a 7-0 cushion. "Its
about time," Grandal said. "Ive been hitting fly balls that way and they all
seem to be short. I was lucky enough to hit one that actually carried a little
bit more." Headley added his third RBI with a fourth-inning single after Maybin
doubled. All of this came at the expense of Jackson, a pitcher the Padres
flirted with before he signed last year as a free agent with the Cubs. Hes now
0-5 against the Padres, with a 6.94 ERA. Jackson had been keen avoiding the long
ball -- only two home runs allowed in this seasons previous nine starts. But hes
had trouble in the early innings and that rang true against the Padres. Of
Jacksons 31 earned runs this year, 23 have come in the first two innings. "His
command wasnt as sharp as it has been," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said.
Cabrera, Maybin, Alonso, Headley and Jedd Gyorko each had two hits for the
Padres. "The swung the bats well and took advantage of Jackson," Renteria said.
NOTES: The Padres juggled their rotation with LHP Robbie Erlin joining RHP
Andrew Cashner (elbow) on the DL this week with elbow soreness. Donn Roach was
bumped from Saturdays start, with Billy Buckner expected to fill in after being
promoted from Triple-A El Paso. That made Roach available for relief on Friday;
he worked a scoreless inning. Buckner, who was signed April 19, was 3-2 with a
2.98 in five starts at El Paso. . OF Carlos Quentin, who last played on Sunday
when straining his groin, is available for pinch hitting. . Cubs OF
Justin Ruggiano played in his second straight game at Triple-A Iowa; hes been on
the DL since April 24 with a strained hamstring. . RHP Pedro Strop (groin
strain) is close to making a rehabilitation start. . Cubs LHP Travis Wood (4-4,
4.61) faces Padres RHP Billy Buckner (0-0, 0.00) on Saturday night.

Ill. -- The Chicago Bears were already losing games. Now theyre going to be
without their most important players on both sides of the ball. Injured
quarterback Jay Cutler will miss at least the next four weeks of the season and
Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs will be out for around six weeks, staggering
blows for a struggling team. The Bears announced the news Monday, a day after
Cutler suffered a muscle tear in his groin during a 45-41 loss to the Washington
Redskins, forcing the Bears to go with veteran Josh McCown. Briggs left the game
with a small fracture in his left shoulder. Neither player will need surgery.
"Theyre not done," coach Marc Trestman said. "Theyre going to be back (this
season)." Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Tillman also left the game with a knee
injury as Chicago (4-3) lost for the third time in four games. The Bears are off
this week, but with the injuries mounting, their season could be slipping away
from them. The defence has been hit particularly hard in recent weeks, and with
Cutler out, itll be veteran McCown lining up behind centre as they try to keep
up with Green Bay and Detroit in the NFC North. Cutler came up clutching the top
of his left leg following a sack by 333-pound nose tackle Chris Baker with about
10 minutes left in the first half. He stayed down for a few minutes and
eventually limped off the field. "They said this is a minimum four weeks and
then well evaluate it week to week," Trestman said. "Based on the history -- I
talked to the doctors this morning -- of this injury, four weeks is a reasonable
start and that it would be week to week." The Bears insisted Cutler will return
this season. "Unless theres a complication during his rehab, with the injury
that he has that Im certain hell be back at some point," general manager Phil
Emery said. Where Cutler will be next season remains to be seen, given his
expiring contract. Its the second time in three years that he will miss a
significant chunk of time, after suffering a season-ending injury in 2011. Emery
said he doesnt see a pattern. As for how this injury will impact contract
negotiations with Cutler after the season, he wouldnt discuss that. "Theres no
reason to because its not the here-and-now," Emery said. The here-and-now has
the Bears forced to go with McCown, hoping he can at least keep them afloat
while Cutler recuperates. He entered Sundays game at Washington in the second
quarter, seeing his first game action since the 2011 season. He completed 14 of
20 passes for 204 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown pass to Martellus Bennett
that gave his team a 41-38 lead with 3:57 to play. MMcCown looked understandably
rusty in his first few plays, but he did put Chicago in position to win the
shootout with the Redskins.

Springer Astros Jersey. The Bears will need more of the same if theyre
going to have a chance of winning their next game at Green Bay on a Monday night
following the bye, not to mention beating Detroit the following week. They didnt
fare well the last time they went an extended period without Cutler. After he
broke his thumb two years ago, the Bears dropped five of six following a 7-3
start in a collapse that cost general manager Jerry Angelo his job. Back then,
Caleb Hanie struggled in a big way. The Bears then turned to McCown, who had
been coaching high school football in North Carolina, late in the season. They
have more weapons now with Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery and Bennett, not to
mention a rebuilt offensive line and a system thats geared more to quick,
high-percentage passes than what they were running under Mike Martz. "Especially
in this league where the quarterback drives the ship, I dont know if youre ever
ready to handle losing your starting quarterback," McCown said. "But I think the
structure is in place and the emphasis has been put on individuals to do their
job and do their part. If we continue to get that, and we felt like we got that
yesterday, it allows the quarterback to step in there, whether its Jay or
myself, to function and play, because guys are going to be coached to be where
they are supposed to be and do what theyre supposed to do." With Cutler out,
Chicago is bringing in Jordan Palmer to back up McCown. The Bears were one
injury away from having receiver Earl Bennett line up behind centre because they
only carry two quarterbacks. Emery said that wont change. He also said the Bears
are looking to bring in a veteran with Briggs injured. And just for the record,
Brian Urlacher is not a candidate. Emery shot down that idea, pointing out that
the former star middle linebacker filed his retirement papers before the season
and received his termination pay. He also said the Bears wont make a trade
simply because of the injuries, even though they have some big holes to fill.
They lost defensive tackle Henry Melton, his replacement, Nate Collins, and
middle linebacker D.J. Williams to season-ending knee injuries. With Briggs out,
rookie Jon Bostic or veteran James Anderson figure to call plays and rookie
Khaseem Greene will likely get more playing time. "Weve worked trades here the
last couple of weeks, we just havent found the correct combination of value and
player exchange," Emery said. NOTE: To make room for Palmer, Emery said the
Bears released TE Steve Maneri.
