SAN DIEGO -- Cole Hamels dominated San Diego again as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Padres 5-2 on Wednesday night, ending a three-game losing skid. Hamels (9-7) struck out nine in seven innings and allowed a run as he scattered seven hits and a walk. It marked Hamels 21st straight start in which he was charged with three runs or less. Over that span he is 8-4 with a 1.86 ERA. Only the Dodgers Clayton Kershaw (1.26) has a better ERA. Hamels, who attended nearby Rancho Bernardo High and grew up a Padres fan, is 9-2 against San Diego. Ben Revere had two RBIs and two hits to pace the Phillies. Yangervis Solarte, Tommy Medica and Cameron Maybin each had two hits for the Padres. Eric Stults (7-17) took the loss, pitching 4 1-3 innings and giving up four runs and six hits. His 17th loss ties the Phillies A.J. Burnett, who lost Tuesday night, for the most in the majors. Stults retired 12 straight before the Phillies opened the fifth with four consecutive singles. The fourth one, by Freddy Galvis, drove in Darin Ruf and Domonic Brown for a 2-1 lead. After Hamels sacrifice bunt, Reveres two-run double chased Stults and pushed the Phillies ahead 4-1. In the fifth, Carlos Ruizs sacrifice fly scored Ruf for a 5-1 cushion, after Ruf doubled and advanced to third. The Padres struck first in the fourth when Maybins second hit drove in Medica. After leading off the inning with his second single, Medica stole second base and scored easily on Maybins single. In the previous inning the Padres loaded the based when Hamels walked Stults, which followed Medica and Maybin hits. But Solarte flied out to right to end the threat.

That was the key. We stayed with it, stayed focused, kept the pressure on.The loss spoiled a magnificent performance by Schneider, who made 41 saves.The winning goal came after Schneider made a close-in stop on Brandon Sutton. The Penguins kept the puck in the zone, and Despres shot from inside the blue line beat a screened Schneider.I didnt get a great look at it, Schneider said. I think he came one way and shot it back the other through a screen. It just got a piece of the post and went in. It was a nice shot.Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello said Schneiders performance was one of the best he has seen by a goalie in a while.He gave us a chance to win, more than a chance to win, Lamoriello said. Its a shame he didnt get the win. Certainly the team would get the win, but he deserved a better fate.Marc-Andre Fleury made 13 saves for the Penguins, who fell behind 1-0 when Devils forward Steve Bernier scored on a wraparound 6:08 into the third period.New Jersey failed to tie its season-best, three-game winning streak. Pittsburgh won for the second time in seven games (2-3-2).We talked about that, the last couple of days, that most importantly, we had to stay with it, Penguins coach Mike Johnston said. We were playing our game. We played a good game. We didnt flinch after they scored. We did whatever it took to get the game-tying goal.But when (Kris) Letangs shot hit the post (with 7 minutes left), you have to wonder whether its going to be our night.Schneider stopped the first 37 Pittsburgh shots and seemed on the vverge of his third shutout of the season when Peter Harrold took a high-sticking penalty with 3:29 left in regulation.ddddddddddddThe Penguins needed only 18 seconds to tie it 1-1. Sidney Crosby, who had been stopped point blank earlier in the period by Schneider on a nice setup by David Perron, took a shot from the right circle that hit Schneider in the chest. Defenceman Adam Larsson couldnt clear the puck, and Kunitz fired the rebound into the net for his 15th goal.They kept coming, Schneider said. You have to give Pittsburgh credit. They put a lot of pressure on and took advantage of their opportunities late. We just couldnt get that extra goal or keep them at bay long enough.Bernier had given the Devils the lead with a goal that was aided by the leg of linesman Ryan Galloway.Berniers dump-in into the Penguins zone hit Galloway, allowing Bernier to retrieve the puck. He skated past defenceman Robert Bortuzzo, went behind the net, came out the other side and banked the puck into the net off Fleurys skate.Schneider kept the Devils in the game in the opening two periods, stopping 20 shots, including a breakaway by Sutter in the first and a backhander by Crosby after a sweeping move from the corner in the second.We have to be way better, we cant keep relying on Schneids and the other goalies to keep us in there the whole game, Devils forward Patrik Elias said. Were not taking charge. Were not skating well. Were just sitting back. We have to be hungrier tomorrow.NOTES: Evgeni Malkin of the Penguins missed his fourth straight game with a lower-body injury. ... Penguins F Chris Kunitz played in his 700th NHL game. ...
