CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Held to three hits in the opener of a doubleheader, the Padres had a season-high three homers to gain a split and keep their momentum going. Rene Rivera hit the first of San Diegos three homers, and Tyson Ross allowed three hits in seven innings Thursday night, leading the Padres to a 6-1 victory and a day-night split with the Cincinnati Reds. Johnny Cueto pitched a three-hitter for his second shutout in the opener, a 5-0 victory. San Diego did a turnabout in the second game, holding Cincinnati to three hits while getting nine of their own. "The guys came out determined in the second game to put some at-bats together," Padres manager Bud Black said. The Padres won their first series on the road this season, taking two of three. They have won five of their last six games, their best stretch of the season. Ross (5-3) walked five batters -- including three in the first inning -- and struck out eight including Joey Votto three times. Once he settled in after the first inning, the Reds got only one more runner to second base. "In the first inning, the sinker was pretty good," Rivera said. "It was nasty. It was a little down in the strike zone. We told Tyson to keep it closer to the strike zone." Rivera hit a two-run homer off left-hander Jeff Francis (0-1), who was called up to make his Reds debut. Francis gave up three runs in five innings. Everth Cabrera and Yonder Alonso hit solo shots off the bullpen, their first homers of the season. Alonso, who went to San Diego as part of the trade for starter Mat Latos in 2011, also had an RBI single in his former ballpark. "I played here a lot of years," Alonso said. "Obviously its a special place. I know a lot of those guys. Its fun, like playing back in the old days. I was reminiscing with a couple of those guys." In the opener, Cueto extended his season-opening streak of domination against a team that has been shut out more than any other in the majors -- seven times. San Diego came into the doubleheader last in the NL in batting average (.222) and runs (118). Cueto struck out eight, walked two and threw 116 pitches. Cueto is the first Red to go at least seven innings in each of his first nine starts since Bucky Walters in 1944. Asked if hes the best pitcher in the majors now, Cueto didnt equivocate. "I would say yes because the numbers talk and my numbers are going to talk for me," Cueto said, with assistant trainer Tomas Vera interpreting. Brandon Phillips homered off Ian Kennedy (2-5) and Zack Cozart singled home two runs, part of a three-hit game for the shortstop. The Reds got runners on first and third with two outs in the fifth, and Phillips connected for his third homer. In his last 11 games, Phillips is 14 for 39 with seven doubles, two homers and five multihit games. Cozart snapped an 0-for-15 streak with runners in scoring position when he singled home two runs in the sixth. Kennedy gave up a season-high five runs and 11 hits in six innings. San Diegos Seth Smith singled in the opener, extending his hitting streak to a career-high 10 games. He sat out the second game. Cincinnatis Todd Frazier singled in both games, extending his career-best streak to 14 games. NOTES: The Padres acquired OF Jake Goebbert in a deal that sent utility player Kyle Blanks to Oakland. The Padres will also get another player to be determined or cash in the deal. Goebbert batted .257 with six homers and 25 RBIs for Triple-A Sacramento this season. He was assigned to Triple-A El Paso. Blanks played in five games with the Padres this season, going 2 for 10. ... The Reds optioned right-handed reliever Nick Christiani to Louisville before the first game, then added him as their extra player for the second game. Reliever Kevin Quackenbush was San Diegos extra player. Christiani didnt get into the game, but Quackenbush pitched the ninth. Andrew Billings Bengals Jersey .

The Arsenal winger missed out on Allardyces only squad in charge of England for their first World Cup qualifier against Slovakia in September, while a knee injury ruled him out of Euro 2016 earlier this summer. England interim manager Gareth Southgate named Oxlade-Chamberlain in his 23-man party for the upcoming fixtures against Malta at Wembley on Saturday and Tuesdays trip to Slovenia though, and the Gunners midfielder admitted Allardyces lack of communication has had a positive effect on him. It provided a kick up the backside, said the 23-year-old. I have been playing for England since I was 18 and while I wouldnt say I took it all for granted it just seemed to be a part of my season - to play for Arsenal and to play for England. Oxlade-Chamberlain has played for Arsenal and England since he was 18 And so to be available and to be feeling good and fit - to not be in, yeah, it was a jolt.It was a wake-up call. I am not young now, I am 23, so you need to be performing and playing as much as you can to deserve a chance to go and play for England.So I wouldnt say I had taken it for granted but being back in the set-up now makes me realise how special it is and it is something I want to keep happening in the foreseeable future. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for £6.99, no contract I didnt speak to Big Sam at all. I guess he had a lot to do what with it being his first game as England manager so I didnt expect to get a call from him. I had hoped to be involved.There are a lot of young players now that are doing really well and its not an easy squad to get into. You shouldnt just be able to walk into an England squad.Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has not played for England in a year, posted several Instagram pictures working out in the gym while on holiday when the last squad met. However, the Arsenal forward insisted he was not making a point to the former England manager as he didnt think Sam had Instagram. England captain Wayne Rooney feels he was slaughtered following comments from Sam Allardyce after his only game in charge of England The former Southampton player also revealed why he could not watch a number of Englands games at Euro 2016.ddddddddddddI didnt watch the first few because I was just gutted I wasnt there and I tried to switch off from it but I always found myself tuning in for the end to watch the last moments of it, he said.Then the Iceland game, when we got through to the next round, I made sure I watched the boys.At that point I wouldnt say I was over not being there but I was a little bit more accustomed to it and I was doing my rehab.So I watched the Iceland game and I was just as disappointed as everyone was. You put out the players that played against Iceland, or any England team that plays against Iceland, and nine times out of 10 we should win. The ability is obviously there and then I guess the psychological part of it is massive, but whether thats a big factor Im not sure. Arsene Wenger answered why not? when asked whether he could manage England in the future Oxlade-Chamberlain praised Arsene Wengers abilities after the Gunners boss revealed he was open to one day managing England, but said he has been pleased with Southgates start.He said: Everyone knows about Arsene Wenger - what a great manager. But right now theres a lot going on and all Im focused on is Gareth and he has just come in. The first few days working with him has been brilliant. Theyve made the boys feel relaxed and confident with what theyre trying to do.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.
