LOS ANGELES -- Andre Ethier knows hes capable of hitting home runs on a regular basis. The 74 he hit over the previous three seasons is a testament to that. And if the Los Angeles Dodgers hope to salvage something out of this season, theyre going to need more of them. Ethier homered twice before heading off to his second straight all-star game, giving him just nine for the season, and the Dodgers beat San Diego 4-1 on Sunday for their season-high fourth straight victory after being shut out in three straight games. "I was just getting into some bad habits this year and some bad approaches, and I let those spiral into some other things," said Ethier, who sacrificed power for bat control during his 30-game hitting streak. "Its tough to break those habits when youre going out there and just getting hits and knocks. I mean, why would I change it when thats going on? But its a just commitment -- being mentally committed and wanting to do it that way." Ethier made it 3-1 in the fifth inning with a two-out homer to right-centre -- ending a drought of 61 at-bats since his previous one on June 21. The home run snapped a 10-game drought for the Dodgers since June 28, when Aaron Miles ended a personal dry spell of 568 consecutive plate appearances without one. Ethier capped off his 11th career multihomer game with another solo shot into the pavilion seats in right-centre against Josh Spence in the eighth, his ninth of the season and first off a left-hander. "Im just glad to get a hit off a lefty. I dont care if its going over the fence or not," Ethier said. Ted Lilly (6-9) won for the first time in a month after losing his previous four starts. The 35-year-old left-hander allowed a run and four hits over five innings, helping send the Padres to their fifth straight loss. Lilly struck out seven and walked two en route to his first victory since June 11 at Colorado. "Disappointed is not enough to describe how I feel about my own performance so far," Lilly said. "Going into the second half, Im going to take these next few days to evaluate what I need to do to turn things around and help us make a big comeback." Rookie right-hander Javy Guerra, the sixth Dodgers pitcher, worked a perfect ninth for his fourth save. Guerra has emerged as the Dodgers closer because of season-ending injuries to Jonathan Broxton and Vicente Padilla. Guerra, who escaped his own bases-loaded, no-out jam to preserve a 1-0 victory for Chad Billingsley in the series opener on Friday, made it interesting again when he gave up a leadoff single to Orlando Hudson and a walk to Anthony Rizzo before retiring the last three batters. "Theres a lot of pressure in those situations, and you like to see how young guys handle it," Lilly said. "He keeps attacking the strike zone and he keeps his composure quite well. So Ive enjoyed watching him pitch out of those jams." Tim Stauffer (5-6) was charged with three runs -- two earned -- and just three hits in six innings while keeping his earned-run average at 2.97. The right-hander, who won his previous three starts, is the fourth Padres starter since 2000 to go into the all-star break with an ERA under 3.00 -- joining Chris Young (2.00 in 2007), Jake Peavy (2.43 in 2004) and Mat Latos (2.45 in 2010). The Padres opened the scoring when Rob Johnson homered on Lillys first pitch of the third inning. The Dodgers came back with two runs in the bottom half, after Stauffer walked the first three batters. Stauffer went 3-2 on cleanup hitter Matt Kemp, who was robbed of a hit by third baseman Chase Headley on a diving stop going toward the foul line. But Headley, not knowing how far Rafael Furcal was from the bag, ignored the easy force at third and made a wild throw to the plate that allowed Tony Gwynn Jr. and Furcal to score. Kemp was credited with a fielders choice and RBI. "I was just trying to make a play," Headley said. "I mean, youve got three really good baserunners -- and four if you include Kemp. I went toward the line for it and I didnt know if I had time to get back to third. I just wish I could have made a better throw. But I dont question what I tried to do. I thought I had a chance to throw him out there." The Dodgers, who were no-hit through 8 2-3 innings by Aaron Harang and the Padres bullpen on Saturday, got an infield single from Gwynn leading off the first against Stauffer. A sacrifice bunt and a comebacker got Gwynn to third, but when he tried to score on a pitch in the dirt that bounced about 30 feet to the right of the plate, Johnson threw to Stauffer for the tag. The Dodgers, who began the day 11 games behind San Francisco in the NL West, go into the all-star break 41-51. A year ago at this time they were tied for second with a 49-39 record and two games out of first, after back-to-back NL West Division titles. The Padres entered the break last in the NL West with a 40-52 record. Last season at the break, they were 51-37 with a two-game lead in the division. But they folded down the stretch. "Every year is different, and you never know how its going to play out," manager Bud Black said. NOTES: Padres SS Jason Bartlett was scratched from Blacks original lineup because of a sore right thumb. ... The Dodgers swept a three-game series at home for the first time since June 2010 against St. Louis. ... In 59 starts since making the all-star team with the Cubs in 2009, Lilly is 21-26 with a 3.81 ERA and 56 home runs allowed. He has not walked more than two batters in any of his 31 starts since the Dodgers acquired him from Chicago on July 31, 2010, the longest active streak in the majors. Reggie Wayne .

She can barely express what a breakthrough win on the LPGA Tour might bring.ARLINGTON, Va. -- Even if Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals have earned a reputation for quick exits, at least theyve been making the playoffs year after year. Thats not a given this time. And the team is well aware of it: Every time players set foot in the practice facility, they come face to face with a display showing where Washington stands. On Thursday, the Capitals had 70 points, good enough only for 11th place in the 16-team Eastern Conference. The top eight teams qualify for the post-season. "Weve got a board in our dressing room here that says the standings. You walk by it six, seven times a day," right wing Troy Brouwer said. "So theres no way to be immune to whats going on." Washington hasnt missed the playoffs since the 2006-07 season, although its never been past the second round in that span. At the moment, the fading Capitals have won only one of their last six games heading into Friday night against the visiting Vancouver Canucks, who are 10th in the West. "The desperate level," Brouwer said, "is getting up there." Washington has 15 games left in the regular season. Its not a particularly easy schedule, either, with 10 games against teams currently in playoff position, including a daunting March 18-22 road trip to Anaheim, Los Angeles and San Jose. "Obviously, were very concerned," coach Adam Oates said. "But the one good thing about hockey is tomorrows another game and you cant get too far ahead or dwell too much on it, because youve got to play tomorrow. Its a must win tomorrow." There have been various problems lately, including poor passing and puck possession, leading to turnovers and a lack of shots on goal. Also glaring: Ovechkins sudden lack of scoring. The three-time NHL MVP and team captain leads the league with 44 goals, but he has been held without a point in each of the last four games, matching his worst drought this season. So whats it going to take to get things turned in the right direction before its too late? "It can be one big hit," saiid Ovechkin, whos been known to dole those out.dddddddddddd "Or it can be one good play and everybody (wakes) up and everybody (plays) much better." In a bid to help the playoff push, general manager George McPhee added goalie Jaroslav Halak and left wing Dustin Penner in separate deals at the trade deadline this month, then finally signed 2010 first-round draft pick Evgeny Kuznetsov. But there hasnt been a payoff yet. Penner was thought to be destined for the top forward line, alongside Ovechkin and centre Nicklas Backstrom. But Oates said Thursday, "I dont think he matches well with them." Asked to elaborate, Oates replied: "Hes not the fastest guy in the world. Hes a puck-possession, battle-along-the-wall guy, and I think (Ovechkin and Backstrom) need a quicker guy." Halak, meanwhile, has made three consecutive starts over Braden Holtby. Oates wouldnt say who would be in net Friday. Holtby said all the right things Thursday, though -- about Halak "giving us a chance to win, whenever he plays"; about how "I want to learn from" Halak; about how theres no rivalry between the pair. Holtby also gave a frank assessment about what Washington needs to do now. "Everyone knows," Holtby said, "that we have to have at least 10 wins, probably, in these last 15 -- or more -- to have a chance." Notes: D Dmitry Orlov signed a $4 million, two-year contract extension. "Good for him," Ovechkin said, "and good for us." Orlov was suspended by the NHL for two games this month after launching into an opponent and drawing a major penalty that helped the Flyers rally for a 5-4 overtime victory. ... C Brooks Laich, who missed two of the last four games with a groin injury, saw a doctor and will be monitored day by day, according to Oates. Its possible Laich will play Friday. ... C Mikhail Grabovski skated before Thursdays practice as he deals with a left ankle injury. "Until he can practice with us, I think hes a ways away," Oates said. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
