SAN DIEGO -- Jeff Samardzija knew what Cubs manager Dale Sveum was doing by not visiting the mound in the eighth inning. Nike Epic React Flyknit Dames . Sveum left Samardzija on his own when he wriggled out of two bases-loaded jams in the inning, and the Cubs beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 Saturday night. "Me and Dale might have had a meeting if he would have taken me out right down there in the dugout," Samardzija joked. "But thats what Dale is all about. Dale is all about putting confidence in players. There are a lot of under the radar things he does that puts confidence in his players. He did it for me there, too. He didnt even have a mound visit or anything. As a player, that says a lot." Said Sveum about his decision: "He bared down and got two huge outs. Thats why you leave a guy like that in the game." In his second straight solid outing, Samardzija (8-11) limited the damage to one run in the decisive eighth when the Padres twice loaded the bases and cut the lead to one run. Darwin Barney homered and drove in two runs for Chicago, which broke a four-game losing streak. In the Cubs last eight games, their only two wins have come in Samardzijas starts. "Tip my hat to Barney, too, for giving me those two runs," Samardzija said. "When you have a two-run cushion instead of one, it helps." Trailing 3-1 heading into the eighth inning, pinch-hitter Mark Kotsay led off with a walk and went to second on Will Venables single. The Padres loaded the bases when Alexi Amaristas sacrifice bunt attempt hugged the third base line but stayed fair for a hit. Yonder Alonso followed with a sacrifice fly. But Samardzija got rookie Jedd Gyorko on a fly out. After a passed ball, Samardzija intentionally walked Chase Headley to load the bases. He then struck out Logan Forsythe to end the inning. "I thought from their standpoint, (Samardzija) is their guy," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He was throwing the ball well. He wobbled a little bit there but he hung in there and threw strikes." Samardzija allowed two runs on seven hits. The right-hander struck out seven and walked two. Samardzija threw a six-hitter in his last start, an 11-1 win over Washington last Sunday. The light-hitting Barney, who had three hits, connected for a solo shot in the fifth inning and added a go-ahead RBI double in the Cubs two-run seventh. Barney, hitting .221, equaled his career high with his seventh homer and first since July 14. Kevin Gregg pitched the ninth for his 26th save in 30 chances. Eric Stults (8-11), winless in his last seven starts, gave up three runs on six hits in 6 1-3 innings. The lefty is 0-4 since his last win on July 14. The Cubs went ahead 2-1 in the seventh after a leadoff walk to Darnell McDonald. With one out, Barney hit a ball into the left field corner. As McDonald rounded third, Forsythe took the relay throw on the grass just behind third base. But Forsythes throw sailed high into the stands behind home plate, allowing Barney to go to third. Anthony Rizzo followed with a two-out RBI single. Barney homered with one out in the fifth inning, his seventh, to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead. The ball just barely cleared the left field wall, landing in the first row. Venable tied the score 1-all with his 19th home run in the sixth.

There were limited chances until Borriello volleyed in a corner from in front of goal. "Both teams played with young players," Roma coach Rudi Garcia said via a translator. "I am quite happy with the development we had." For the second time in three years, Fenway, the home of the Boston Red Sox, was transformed into the home of Liverpool, which is owned by Fenway Sports Group. John Henry, owner of the Red Sox, also is the controlling partner of Fenway Sports Group. Roma beat Liverpool 2-1 at Fenway two years ago. "Its the second time in the last couple of years," Liverpool coach Brendan Rodgers said. "It was a great atmosphere. The support was great. I thinkk it was for both -- fantastic.

Roma goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski made a diving save near the post on Rickie Lamberts kick from just outside the box in the 57th minute. Roma seemed to have the territorial edge in the first half and Liverpool a slight edge in the second in a match that had just a handful of shots on goal. Liverpool rested a number of its star players, including captain Steven Gerrard, but the mostly red-clad crowd didnt seem to mind. "Its going to be great for me to see our young players gain experience," Rodgers said. Wednesdays game was the first of four scheduled matches in the United States for Liverpool, which travels to Chicago, New York and Charlotte. ' ' '
