SAN DIEGO -- Of course Cory Spangenberg dreamed as a kid of playing major league baseball. "I never got into detail about hitting the walk-off home run. Just incredible," Spangenberg said after getting another big league milestone out of the way. Spangenbergs first big league home run came on the first pitch he saw as a pinch hitter with one out in the ninth inning and gave the San Diego Padres a 2-1 victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. Two days into his big league career, Spangenberg, hitting for Cameron Maybin, connected against Brad Ziegler (5-3), sending a drive to the home run porch down the right-field line at Petco Park. "Unbelievable. I mean, just to pinch-hit for your team in the ninth when you have other great players on the bench and to come through and get the walk-off W for the team is an unbelievable feeling," the 23-year-old said. Spangenberg made his big league debut on Monday, hitting a two-run single and making two nice plays at third base. "This guy comes as a hitter. He showed up tonight. That was great," manager Bud Black said. Black said hitting coach Phil Plantier "felt good about the at-bat with Spangy. Cam didnt have great numbers against Ziegler. Phil through Zieglers type of pitching was pretty good for Spangy. Spangys sort of a slasher, likes the ball a little bit out, a little bit down and it worked out." Spangenberg said Plantier "trusts me. "I mean, he went up to me and said, Im going to tell Buddy youre the man. I told him, Im ready to go." Spangenberg hasnt stopped smiling since he got to San Diego. "This unbelievable so far. Im just trying to soak everything in and enjoy the moment and hopefully it lasts for a long time." Ziegler said he tried to throw down and away "and I threw it mid-thigh on the inner third and it was an easy pitch for him to spin on." Kevin Quackenbush (3-3) pitched the ninth for the win. The Padres had runners on first and third and no outs in the eighth before Evan Marshall struck out the side. Rookie Odrisamer Despaigne again pitched well at Petco Park but didnt get the decision. The Cuban right-hander allowed one run and four hits in seven innings. He retired 11 straight after Miguel Monteros RBI single in the fourth. The Diamondbacks had three of their four hits against Despaigne in the fourth. Cliff Pennington and David Peralta singled before Mark Trumbo struck out. Montero then singled to centre to bring in Pennington. Despaigne has a 2.11 ERA in seven home starts while his ERA in six road starts is 4.45. Arizonas Wade Miley had a similar line to Despaigne, allowing one run and seven hits in seven innings. San Diego tied it in the fifth when it got three hits against Miley, including Alexi Amaristas run-scoring single to left. In his last five starts, Miley is 0-2 with a 2.20 ERA after getting just six runs of support. Ziegler said it stunk to have the game end like it did. "Wade pitches his butt off to get us there and Evan was incredible to get out of the eighth. Its just frustrating. I just didnt make a good pitch." HOMER BALL Spangenberg said he got his home run ball from a couple of season ticket holders in exchange for a couple of autographed balls. "Thats great that they could do that. I really appreciate them doing that. If they need anything else I can get something," Spangenberg said. LATE HEROICS It was the fourth win in the last at-bat in the last six games for the Padres, including three straight games Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Jonathan Toews short-handed breakaway goal early in the third period snapped a tie, and lifted the Blackhawks to a 3-2 victory on Friday night. Patrick Sharp scored his team-leading 30th goal and Kris Versteeg ended an eight-game drought to help the Blackhawks pull out a win without Kane, the teams leading scorer who was placed on long-term injured reserve after sustaining a lower-body injury in Chicagos victory over St. Louis on Wednesday. The Blackhawks were also without injured forwards Brandon Saad and Bryan Bickell, and defenceman Michal Rozsival. "Thats one of those things, we have to learn how to play without our best players," Toews said. "Weve done it without Hoss (Marian Hossa), and now Sadder and Kaner. "It doesnt matter. If someones nursing something, we have to find a way to fill that void." Sharp has scored at least 30 goals four times in his career. He has reached the mark in the past three full NHL seasons. Corey Crawford made 26 saves as defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago tightened up defensively and overcame mistakes late in the second period and early in the third that helped the Hurricanes fight back from a two goal deficit. "Thats a game we can look back on during the playoffs as being able to shut a team down in the last five minutes," Crawford said. "I dont think they got a shot in the last five minutes. Thats the way you want to play." Carolinas Alexander Semin scored his 20th and 21st goals 3:36 apart, but the Hurricanes lost to Chicago for the second time this season. The Blackhawks beat Carolina in a road shootout on Oct. 15 in their only other meeting this season. Semin tied it off a faceoff during a 5-on-3 power play at 2:58 of the third. Eric Staal won the draw and fed Semin, who fired in a screened shot from the top of the left circle. Semin had cut Chicagos lead to 2-1 with 37.7 seconds left in the second. He was open in the right circle, took Staals pass from the left boards and fired a quick shot past Crawfords glove. "We gave them some excitement to their game at the end of the second," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "We took six penalties in a row, a stretch of six penalties that got them right back in the game. "Then Johnnny scored a huge goal for us, which was very timely.ddddddddddddquot; Toews third short-handed goal at 3:29 of the third put Chicago ahead for good. A shot by Staal rimmed all the way around the boards in the Chicago zone and came out to centre ice. Toews got the puck, skated in alone, and beat Anton Khudobin with a high backhander. "Obviously I missed the shot down the wing," Staal said. "I wanted to go high glove, and they got a good bounce and good player going the other way on a breakaway." Once Toews put Chicago in front, the Blackhawks sparkled defensively in the third period and held on to extend their point streak to four games (3-0-1). Khudobin stopped 22 shots after a career-best 46 saves in Carolinas win at Columbus on Tuesday. Kane, who could miss the rest of the regular season, was injured in a collision with St. Louis Brenden Morrow. He left the ice under his own power, favouring his left leg. Earlier Friday, Chicago recalled top prospect Teuvo Teravainen and forward Jeremy Morin from Rockford of the AHL. The 19-year-old Teravainen, Chicagos first-round selection in the 2012 draft, didnt play against Carolina. The Blackhawks came out flying in the scoreless first and outshot Carolina 11-4. The Hurricanes didnt record their first shot until Nathan Gerbe forced Crawford to make a glove save 11:21 in. Sharp opened the scoring on a breakaway at 3:09 of the second. He took a stretch pass up the middle from Andrew Shaw and accelerated past defencemen Justin Faulk and Ron Hainsey. He beat Khudobin with a high backhander on the stick side. Versteeg made it 2-0 with 3:34 left in the second during 4-on-4 play. Defenceman Nick Leddy carried the puck down to the left corner, then centred a pass to Versteeg, who beat Khudobin on the glove side. NOTES: Kane must sit out a minimum of 10 games and 24 days. Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman said there is "no reason to think he wont" be ready for the playoffs. ... Morin has one goal and four assists in 15 games with Chicago this season. ... D David Rundblad played in his second game with the Blackhawks since being acquired from Phoenix. ... Carolina D John-Michael Liles returned after missing six games with a concussion, C Jiri Tlusty came back after sitting out two with a lower-body injury, and C Elias Lindholm and D Justin Faulk played after missing the previous game because of illnesses.
