SAN DIEGO -- Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell figured it was worth a chance to challenge a play at second base. However, the delay with the appeal might have hampered Junior Guerra on the mound.Guerra had a rare rough second-half outing, allowing four runs and six hits in four innings of the Brewers 12-3 loss to the San Diego Padres on Wednesday.The trouble started in the first when Guerra allowed three runs. However, the Brewers argued Will Myers slid toward shortstop Orlando Arica at second to prevent a double play. The umpires checked the replay and didnt agree.Having Guerra wait some five minutes until a verdict was delivered might have contributed to his ineffectiveness.Obviously we would have liked to have the double play in that situation, Guerra said through a translator. But after that I had trouble finding the strike zone.Added Counsell: I wasnt sure we would win the appeal..it was a run so it was worth taking a shot.Guerra (7-3), who had won four of his previous five starts, gave up the four runs in the first two innings.Regardless of the first-inning doings, San Diegos Edwin Jackson was just too tough.Jackson (2-2) retired the first 11 batters he faced, and the Brewers didnt put a runner in scoring position until Kirk Nieuwenhuis doubled in the fifth.He pitched well, Counsell said. The key for him is to keep the ball down. If a guy like that keeps the ball down he can be effective.Jackson signed a minor-league contract with the Padres in June after starting the season in Miamis bullpen. He gave up three runs -- two on Ryan Brauns homer -- and eight hits with five strikeouts over eight innings.The Padres made it 8-0 on Yangervis Solartes two-run, two-out homer in the sixth. Blash homered in the two-run seventh.Some days you have good days and some days you have bad days, Guerra said. Unfortunately it was a bad game for me and I have to keep working hard.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: RHP Tyson Ross (right shoulder, left ankle) reported no setbacks a day after an abbreviated throwing session off the mound. Theres a chance Ross, who last pitched on opening day, will return before the seasons end.UP NEXTBrewers: RHP Chase Anderson (6-10, 5.13) makes his second career start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday as Milwaukee continues its six-game road trip. Anderson, who beat Arizona on July 25, aims for his third straight win despite having no quality starts over his last eight outings.Padres: LHP Christian Friedrich (4-6, 4.72) looks to recapture the form he flashed when winning three straight decisions in May and June as he faces the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. Hes coming off a rocky outing, surrendering five runs on six hits in three innings against the Washington Nationals on July 24.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Patrick Mahomes had another stellar game for Texas Tech in an NFL stadium. The Red Raiders now wait to find out if the dual-threat quarterback stays for his senior season or leaves early for the NFL draft.In what might have been his last college game, Mahomes threw for 586 yards and matched a career high with six touchdown passes as Texas Tech won its season finale 54-35 over Baylor on Friday night.Im just focused on we got the win and celebrating with my teammates, Mahomes said. Ill get a little bit of a break to go home and enjoy my family and friends, and then Ill talk with Coach Kingsbury, talk to my family, and figure out whats the best decision.Mahomes completed 30 of 46 passes in the season finale and finished the season with 5,052 yards passing -- a national-leading 421 per game for the Red Raiders (5-7, 3-6 Big 12). He became only third FBS player with multiple seasons of more than 5,000 total yards,Red Raiders coach Kliff Kingsbury said the next step is determining Mahomes potential draft process and that they would submit this weekend to begin that process.I know what Id like to tell him, Kingsbury said, with a smile. If the money is right and he needs to go, do that. If its not, if theres some way we can improve and improve his skill set and his talent, then hell come back and well do it again.The two teams combined for 1,300 total yards (666 for the Red Raiders, 634 for the Bears). Both had two 100-yard receivers, and Baylors Terence Williams ran for 147 yards and two touchdowns.Mahomes also threw six TDs against Baylor in the Dallas Cowboys stadium two years ago.Baylor (6-5, 3-5) has lost five in a row since starting 6-0 to get bowl eligible and reaching No. 8 in the AP poll.When we were 6-0, I didnt feel comfortable going into the last half of the season, acting head coach Jim Grobe said. Because I knew we had a lot of things going on and swirling around outside the program that could affect us.Bears freshman quarterback Zach Smith was 30-of-46 passing for 377 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in his second start since senior Seth Russells ankle surgeryy.ddddddddddddTexas Tech led 34-7 midway through the second quarter after Mahomes 80-yard pass to Keke Coutee, who finished with eight catches for 221 yards. Coutee made the catch near midfield and spun away from the grasp of a defender.Mahomes had thrown an 81-yard TD to Quan Shorts on his previous pass, and earlier, a 40-yard score to Dylan Cantrell immediately after a Bears fumble. The 80- and 81-yard TDs both came on the first plays after Baylor had been stopped on fourth down.He can keep the plays alive, and he always keeps his eyes downfield, Baylor linebacker Aiavion Edwards said. If you give you any time at all, hes going to find an open target, and most likely deep.And fast.THE TAKEAWAYBaylor: The Bears now have their longest losing streak since dropping nine in a row. They lost their last eight games of the 2007 season and former coach Art Briles debut in 2008 against Wake Forest, when Baylor acting head coach Jim Grobe coached the Demon Deacons.Texas Tech: The strong finish to end a three-game losing streak at least eases the sting of going into a long offseason, especially after that woeful 66-10 loss at Iowa State the previous week.MAHOMES 5KMahomes joined former Texas Tech QB Graham Harrell (2007-08) and former Houston QB Case Keenum (2008-09, 11) with over 5,000 total yards more than once.
