SAN DIEGO -- Batting cleanup in his second game back from his second stint on the disabled list, Curtis Granderson gave the New York Yankees some badly needed power. Granderson hit a two-run home run, his first since coming off the DL, and Ivan Nova dominated the Padres through seven impressive innings to lead the Yankees to a 3-0 victory against San Diego on Saturday night. Tyson Ross was pitching well for the Padres when it quickly fell apart. Alfonso Soriano singled to centre leading off the seventh and Granderson followed with a homer into the Jack Daniels Old No. 7 party deck atop the right field wall. "Its good. Any way to help the team out," Granderson said. "It was scuffle against Ross out there. He had thrown really well against us. Finally the third time around we were able to get a little thing going with Soriano to get the bloop there and then finally to get a pitch that caught some of the plate. He didnt give us much of that throughout the earlier parts of the game." It was Grandersons first hit since being activated before Friday nights game. Hes been on the DL twice since spring training after being hit by pitches. It was his second homer of the season. "I fell behind first pitch changeup away, and then I tried to go fastball and got too much of the plate and he made me pay for it," Ross said. Granderson scored again in the ninth when he hit a leadoff single, stole second and came in on Jayson Nixs two-out single. "He was part of all three runs tonight," manager Joe Girardi said. "Ive talked about how Curtis can change the complexion of the game really quickly and thats what he did tonight. Thats why I put him in the four slot tonight, because of how he can change a game and its really nice to have him back." The sellout crowd at Petco Park was on its feet as Mariano Rivera came on to start the ninth. He pitched a perfect inning to earn his 35th save in 37 chances in his farewell season, and the 643rd of his career. Nova (5-4) held San Diego to just four hits in seven innings while striking out eight and walking one. He retired 15 straight batters from the second through sixth innings, keeping the Padres off-balance with a mixture of curveballs and fastballs. Novas streak began after he allowed Alexi Amaristas leadoff double in the second. Amarista took third on Logan Forsythes groundout but was stranded as Nova got Nick Hundley to ground out and then struck out Ross. "He was tough," San Diegos Chase Headley said. "I felt he did a really good job of locating his fastball and obviously he had that really good breaking ball going tonight. I looked up at the scoreboard in the sixth or seventh inning and saw that he had thrown 15 or 18 balls total. And when someone has thrown as many breaking balls as he did, thats pretty impressive. He did a great job of locating his pitches and had really good stuff." The Padres didnt have another baserunner until Will Venable doubled leading off the seventh. Nova retired the next two batters, walked Logan Forsythe and then punched out Hundley on a curveball to end the inning. Nova was taken by San Diego in the December 2008 draft but was returned to the Yankees at the end of spring training in 2009. Ross (2-5) retired the first 13 Yankees batters, including striking out five in a row at one point, before Lyle Overbay lined a single to left. Ross then got Eduardo Nunez to fly out to centre and struck out Brett Lillibridge. "Early on he was getting a lot of quick outs," Granderson said. "He was pitching no-hit baseball for a while until Overbay was able to get one in and then that finally, I guess, settled everybody in a little bit to say, OK, we can hit him. Lets do what we need to do up there and stay within our approach and get something we can hit. " Ross allowed two runs and three hits in six-plus innings, struck out a career-high nine and walked three. His previous career high was eight strikeouts, accomplished three times previously, including twice this season. Ross was coming off a 1-0 victory against All-Star Patrick Corbin and the Arizona Diamondbacks in which he allowed only three hits in eight innings. NOTES: Yankees manager Joe Girardi is giving SS Derek Jeter two games off to rest his sore right leg. Girardi says Jeter has been battling a calf injury.

Both players have been put on notice by Australian chef de mission Kitty Chiller after Tomic drew heavy criticism following his exit from the Madrid Open when, on match point against Fabio Fognini, he held the racquet by the strings and did not offer a return to the Italians serve.Asked about the incident by the Gold Coast Bulletin, the world No 22 responded: I dont care about that match point - would you care if you were 23 and worth over $10m? Tomic effectively gave up match point against Fabio Fognini by attempting to return the ball with his rackets handle After the Australian Olympic Committees AGM, Chiller said: I think it was appalling behaviour. It goes against every value that all the Olympians live by, it goes against everything that weve been trying to build in this team.I would not want to see any of our Olympic team members behave in that way.Chiller said both Tomic and Kyrgios, who has a history of verbally abusing opponents, umpires and fans, were just two of the potential Rio Games athletes who were being monitored for their behaviour. Every athlete is under the microscope now, she added. Theres a few athletes that are on wwatch and those two names are among them.ddddddddddddTomic has been accused of tanking, or failing to try his best, in the past including in a loss to Andy Roddick at the 2012 US Open. Chef de Mission of the Australian Olympic Team for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games Kitty Chiller has warned Tomic and Kyrgios His 28-minute loss to Jarkko Nieminen in Miami in 2014 remains the quickest ever on the ATP Tour, while he was also involved in a spat with Davis Cup team-mate Kyrgios in March.Tennis Australia has until late June to nominate its team for Rio, with world No 21 Kyrgios and Tomic the countrys highest-ranked players and best chance for a medal. Tomic shows his emotion against Fabio Fognini But Chiller was keen to point out that Tennis Australia can only nominate players of good standing within their sport, while the AOC has the final say.Its their responsibility to determine whether its appropriate to nominate them, she said. If any athlete from any sport is nominated, we look at everything ... including behaviour, including the disrepute clause. Australias Nick Kyrgios holds his shirt in his mouth during his mens singles match against Czech Republics Tomas Berdych We have the ability to take that into consideration whether we proceed to select the nomination or not.Based on the last 48 hours, all I can comment on is that is not behaviour that I would want any team member in a team that Im responsible for to exhibit.
