MIAMI -- When Jacob Turner had wrapped up the first complete game of his career, he accepted a pat on the stomach from his first baseman, gave his catcher a slap on the shoulder and then greeted manager Mike Redmond with uncharacteristic bravado. "Thats how you do it, Red," Turner said. The 22-year-old right-handers swagger was justified. He pitched a seven-hitter and had a career-high seven strikeouts Saturday to help the Miami Marlins beat the San Diego Padres 7-1. The complete game was the first this year for the Marlins, who have the worst record in the major leagues but are 14-10 in June. Turner (2-0) has contributed to the turnaround. Following a dismal spring, he began the season in Triple-A, and since rejoining the Marlins he has an ERA of 1.76 in six starts. "This is a totally different guy than we saw in spring training," Redmond said. "He went down to the minor leagues and worked on things he needed to work on and, wow, this guy has come back to the big leagues and has been outstanding." Turners latest start, the 19th of his career, was the best yet. He allowed only one walk -- to start the ninth -- and threw 111 pitches, 77 for strikes. "He did a good job of moving the fastball on both sides of the plate," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He had some great movement on the fastball and threw some good breaking balls. Hes a fine young pitcher." Turner benefited from rare run support. The Marlins rank last in the majors in runs, but by the fourth inning they led 6-0. Giancarlo Stanton hit his eighth home run, Jeff Mathis had two RBIs and Placido Polanco became the 22nd active player to score 1,000 runs. The outburst came after the Marlins were outscored 20-3 while losing their first four games to San Diego this season. Eric Stults (6-6) gave up a season-high six runs, five earned, in 3 2-3 innings. The stint was his briefest as a starter since 2009. "I struggled with command of a lot of my pitches," Stults said. "The good pitches I made, they were able to put the barrel on the ball and find some holes." By the ninth, the only drama was whether Turner would get the complete game. He was still throwing in the low 90s, but he walked the leadoff batter and figured another baserunner would end his night. "You try not to think about it, but its going to be there," said Turner, who acknowledged butterflies at the end. "I definitely wanted to finish the game." First baseman Ed Lucas made a backhanded stab of Will Venables two-hopper and tossed to Turner covering first for the final out. The victory came in a snappy 2 hours, 24 minutes. When Turner was asked about his postgame comment to Redmond, he shrugged sheepishly. Redmond chuckled when he recalled the remark. "I wasnt expecting that out of him," the manager said, "but I loved it." The Marlins took a 3-0 lead in the first inning. After Justin Ruggiano and Lucas singled, Marcell Ozuna hit an RBI single, and when the ball skipped past centre fielder Alexi Amarista for an error, Lucas also came home. Ozuna then scored on Polancos sacrifice fly. Miami added three runs in the fourth, when the first four batters reached. Adeiny Hechavarria hit an RBI single, and Mathis singled past a drawn-in infield to score two more runs. Venable tripled in the fifth and scored on Nick Hundleys double. Notes: RHP Henderson Alvarez, who pitched 7 2-3 scoreless innings in a rehabilitation start Friday for Double-A Jacksonville, will rejoin the Marlins and move into the rotation next week. ... SS Everth Cabrera (strained hamstring) is scheduled to begin a rehabilitation assignment with Single-A Fort Wayne on Tuesday, and he might rejoin the Padres on Thursday. ...

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Whenever Bill Self looks back at the box score from his 207th win at Allen Fieldhouse, one that made him more successful in the building than any other Kansas coach, hell see Tyler Selfs name on it.His son, a senior backup who rarely plays, knocked down his only shot in the game.Now that you mention it, its nice, Self said after the seventh-ranked Jayhawks 86-65 victory over Siena on Friday night. It was nice he got in there and made the shot.The Saints did their best to spoil the party.Marquis Wright hit three straight 3-pointers midway through the second half, and the gritty senior guards three-point play got coach Jimmy Patsos team within 63-58 with about 7 1/2 minutes left.But Lagerald Vick answered with back-to-back baskets for the Jayhawks, kicking off the game-defining 16-2 run. Frank Mason III added a 3-pointer and a couple foul shots, Devonte Graham got into the act and the Jayhawks -- so accustomed to dominating inside -- leaned on their guard play to seal the win.At one point, Mason, Vick and Graham scored 20 straight points for the Jayhawks.Theres a lot of things we could have done better, said Mason, who finished with 18 points.The Jayhawks were just 3 of 12 from beyond the arc, struggled from the foul line and were exposed on the defensive end of the floor, where Siena was able to get to the basket too easily.I didnt think we played very tough, Self said. I didnt think we played very fast. We looked slow defensively. I thought our big guys really struggled early.Graham finished with 13 points and nine assists, and Vick had 12 points off the bench, as the Jayhawks (2-1) extended their winning streak to 42 straight at Allen Fieldhouse.Wright had 25 points, Javion Ogunyemi added 19 and Khalil Richard had 10 for the Saints, who took advantage of the Jayhawks poor perimeter shooting to offset a big rebounding disparity.Theyve got depth, they have inside players. You thought you had them,, then their quickness to the ball took over, said Patsos, who got a primer on playing at Allen Fieldhouse earlier Friday from former Kansas guard and current Maryland coach Mark Turgeon.dddddddddddd.He asked his wife to marry him out on the floor, Patsos said, and I said, `Yeah, you coming back to play there? And he said, `Hell no! Now I know why.EXHAUSTED JAYHAWKSThe Jayhawks opened the season with an overtime loss to Indiana in Hawaii, then beat top-ranked Duke in New York. They traveled about 12,000 miles for two games in roughly four days, and Self said he could see the weariness in his players during shoot-around.We were physically tired, Self said, and our brain told our body we were tired.BIG PICTUREKansas freshman Josh Jackson, whom many believe will be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, spent most of the night in foul trouble. He was visibly frustrated and wound up with 10 points.Siena could use Lavon Long on the floor. The senior forward, who averaged more than 10 points a game last season, has been suspended for the first three games for violating team rules.RECRUITING WINFive-star prospect Billy Preston announced earlier in the day hell attend Kansas next season. The 6-foot-10 forward from prestigious Oak Hill Academy in Virginia signed his letter of intent this week.I dont think weve ever had the opportunity to coach a taller, more athletic skill player than Billy, Self said. He has guard-type athletic ability and skills.POLL IMPLICATIONSWith their win over the No. 1 Blue Devils and fourth-ranked Oregons lopsided loss to Baylor, look for the Jayhawks to climb back into the top five, where they began the season.UP NEXTKansas plays UAB in the semifinals of the CBE Classic in Kansas City, Missouri on Monday night.Siena visits reigning Big South champion UNC-Asheville on Sunday.
