LOS ANGELES -- Jason Marquis relied on his bread-and-butter pitch to extend his run of effective outings for the San Diego Padres. Backed by a solid sinker, Marquis carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning and the Padres beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 on Wednesday night after dropping the first two games of the series. "I was working real hard to find consistent delivery and was able to do that and carry it over to the game," he said. "When I have a good one like that I tend to go to it over and over." Marquis (7-2) allowed two runs and three hits in 6 1-3 innings while improving to 6-0 with a 3.28 ERA in his last eight starts. The veteran right-hander also is 3-0 with a 2.52 ERA in his last four outings against the Dodgers dating to last season. "He gives us trouble all the time," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Ever since Ive been out here in California, it seems like he pitches good every time." Marquis had his no-hitter broken up when Skip Schumaker doubled to deep centre field with two outs in the sixth, extending his hitting streak to 12 games. Adrian Gonzalez followed with a RBI single that trimmed San Diegos lead to 3-1. Earlier in the inning, Padres right fielder Kyle Blanks temporarily preserved Marquis no-hit bid with a diving catch and slide on his belly that robbed pinch hitter Jerry Hairston Jr. "Outstanding," Marquis said. Marquis left after Scott Van Slyke homered with one out in the seventh. He struck out six and walked two. "I saw the legit sinker just pounding it on right-handers and keeping it away from lefties," Padres manager Bud Black said. "It was a lot of sinkers and good sliders down underneath." Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (5-4) struck out nine and was charged with three runs and seven hits. The left-hander gave up at least one hit in each of his six innings. "I saw a lot of tough at-bats against a very good pitcher," Black said. The last-place Dodgers could have passed the Padres in the NL West standings with a victory, but they never led while falling to .500 at home with a 16-16 record. San Diego extended its lead to 6-2 with three runs in the ninth. Jedd Gyorko and Yasmani Grandal each had a bases-loaded sacrifice fly, and pinch hitter Will Venable singled home a run. Gyorko also had a leadoff homer in the fourth and walked and scored on Jesus Guzmans double in the sixth. Guzman tied his career high with three hits. "Theyre a scrappy team. Theyve got a lot of grit over there," Kershaw said. "Theyre fouling pitches off and putting good at-bats every single time out there. Youve got to tip your cap to them. Theyre not going to be easy outs." The Padres grabbed the lead on Grandals RBI single with two outs in the second. Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig went to field the ball with his left-handed glove and it went behind him, allowing Guzman to score. Puig was hitless in four at-bats with two strikeouts after going a combined 5 for 9 in his first two major league games on Monday and Tuesday, when he had two homers and five RBIs. "Marquis is a tough matchup," Mattingly said. "Hes a guy who keeps the ball down, he can run the ball at him and break the ball to the other side." NOTES: Dodgers LHP Scott Elbert will undergo Tommy John surgery next week and is expected to be out 12 to 16 months. ... Dodgers RHP Josh Beckett is confident he will pitch again this season, although he wont throw for another four weeks. Currently on the disabled list with a left groin strain, Beckett has been diagnosed with irritation of an upper arm nerve that causes numbness in his right hand and fingers. ...

Also up for grabs will be a chunk of the the $100,000 prize pool as well as a guaranteed spot in the Fall Championship in November. The coveted spot will only be awarded to the first place finisher, and with the Fall Championship boasting a $1,000,000 purse, its clear that every team will bring their A-game from day one.The North American Fall Regional will have two separate stages. The first stage will start with group play, which will see the eight teams split evenly into Group A and Group B. Within those groups, each team will face off against each other once, with the two teams sporting the best overall records advancing to the playoffs. During the playoffs, the final four teams will face off against each other head-to-head in a single elimination bracket. Lets take a peek at the groups.Group A consists of Team Naventic, Denial eSports, Astral Authority, and Murloc Geniuses. While Team Naventic should be the clear favorites, Gale Force eSports team captain Michael MichaelUdall Udall has suggested that Denial eSports may be the team to beat for Group A.Group B is comprised of Gale Force eSports, GulDans Game, Team Name Change, and Vox Nihili. Of this group, Gale Force eSports are the clear favorites. With that being said, Vox Nihili boasts some exceptional players and could potentially be the dark horse in Group B.Heres a closer look at the eight teams competing in the NA Fall Regional.Murloc GeniusesRoster: Manny Fury Medina (Tank), Rori CauthonLuck Bryant-Raible (Carry), Jun Jun Jang (Support), Harrison psalm Chang (Flex), Ben cattlepillar Bunk (Bruiser).Path to NAFR: Defeated Astral Authority 2-0 in the NA Fall Regional Qualifier #2.Previous finishes: N/AKey points: While this team is just one month old, it has already proven itself in tournament settings against some of the better, more established teams such as Astral Authority and Savage Gaming. Expect some Medivh-heavy play from this squad.Team Name ChangeRoster: Hao HaoNguyen Nguyen (Flex), Francisco Goku Avalos (Flex), Chandler Buds Gavran (Assassin), Ed TigerJK Hong (Support), Justin Justing Gapp (Warrior).Path to NAFR: Defeated Savage Gaming 2-0 in the NA Fall Regional Qualifier #3.Previous finishes: N/A.Key points: Keep an eye out for TigerJKs mechanics and positioning. He is the weak link in an otherwise strong lineup and will likely determine whether or not TNC sinks or swims.Denial eSportsRoster: Mike Glaurung Fisk (Bruiser), Kyle Prismaticism Belaiche (Flex), Keiwan k1pro Itakura (Assassin); Francis aPm Gilbert-Brodeur (Support); John Paul KingCaffeine Lopez (Warrior).Path to NAFR: Defeated Vox Nihili 2-0 in the NA Fall Regional Qualifier #1.Previous finishes: N/AKey points: Pay close attention to aPm. Of all the teams competing in the Fall Regional, he is the least tested player when it comes to playing in a professional tournament. Will he flounder or flourish under the tutelage of some of the best players North America has to offer?GulDans GameRoster: Jason Jason Mei (Carry), Stafford McIntyre McIntyre (Bruiser), Kayla Faye Murray (Carry), Jeffrey iakona Dolan (Support), Quinn Srey Fischer (Warrioor).ddddddddddddPath to NAFR: Defeated PeterDinklage 2-0 in the NA Fall Regional Qualifier #1.Previous finishes: N/AKey points: This team is just three weeks old, and comes complete with a mixture of S-tier North American players, as well as some less-than-notable names. It will be interesting to see if some of the weaker members rise to the occasion or if they succumb to the potentially large gap in skill level.Vox NihiliRoster: Nelson GOAT Le (Carry), Raphael Hosty Tsantili (Flex); Adam Zoos Stupavsky (Flex), Todd LexUther Stevenson (Support), Long Huu Daihuu Wang (Warrior).Path to NAFR: Defeated Team Blaze 2-0 in the NA Fall Regional Qualifier #2.Previous finishes: N/A.Key points: One of several relatively unknown teams whose members banded together and fought tooth and nail to earn a spot at the Fall Regional, Vox Nihili boasts a handful of lower level players that have performed admirably in amateur Heroes of the Storm tournaments, but are as yet untested on the grand stage.Astral AuthorityRoster: Damian FrozenX Nagel (Flex), Richard Kladeous Tran (Flex), Kevin TalkingTrees Marco (Assassin), Chris Darkchimaera Beery (Support), Marty Batterry Nivinski (Warrior).Path to NAFR: Defeated Chu 8 my HotDoge 2-0 in the NA Fall Regional Qualifier #3.Previous finishes: 3rd, 2016 ESL Heroes of the Storm NA Summer Regional.Key points: TalkingTrees has earned rave reviews from both teammates and opponents for his recent Assassin play.

Team Naventic have the most wins, experience, and longest time played together out of all of the teams represented at the Fall Regional. All that being said, the recent replacement of Stafford McIntyre McIntyre by Tomster has cast some doubt over Team Naventics reign in North America.
