SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Padres struggling offence finally had a breakout performance -- 37 games into the season. Jedd Gyorko hit two home runs off Jose Fernandez, including a grand slam, in the Padres 10-1 rout of the Miami Marlins on Friday night. Gyorko had a career-high six RBIs as the majors worst offence scored its season high in runs and had its first genuine laugher. "Im trying to think, have we had one?" Padres manager Bud Black asked. "Those type of games happen and its rare that we have only had one. There are two ways to look at it for me. On the positive side, there is more of that to come." For Gyorko, the win had more meaning coming less than 24 hours after his key error preceded Giancarlo Stantons go-ahead two-run homer in the 11th inning of the Marlins 3-1 win Thursday night. "That was probably one of the lowest points of my career, to be honest," Gyorko said. "To pretty much cost your team a game, its good to bounce back. Its good to show that resiliency." Gyorko, who came into the game hitting just .146, connected for a two-run shot in the second and a grand slam in the sixth. "Hopefully, a game like this can jump-start an offence," Gyorko said. "Its still to be determined." The Padres hope this game can spark the 25-year-old Gyorko, whom they signed to a five-year, $35 million contract extension last month. "Guys are capable of those types of performances," Black said. "Not that Jedd is going to hit two homers and hit a grand slam, but hes capable of knocking in some runs." The Padres, who came in averaging a major league-low 2.6 runs per game, snapped a three-game losing streak. It was their highest-scoring game since a 12-2 victory over Arizona last Sept. 25. San Diego sent 11 men to the plate during a six-run sixth inning that broke it open. The Padres previous high for runs in a single game this season was six. The run support was not lost on starter Tyson Ross (4-3), for whom the Padres had scored more than three runs just twice in his previous seven starts. "Its huge early in the game," he said. "The hitters did a great job with their approach. They had some good at-bats early and got on the board and really broke it open." Fernandez (4-2) was charged with six runs on six hits in five-plus innings. The right-hander, who won the NL Rookie of the Year award last season, was 2-0 with a sparkling 0.60 ERA in his previous four starts. "It was a tough one," Fernandez said. "I was trying to do what I do, go out there and compete. But mostly my stuff wasnt there today, my fastball really wasnt there." Miami manager Mike Redmond knew it right away. "It just wasnt his night. You could tell from the first inning on he was up in the zone and they hit some balls hard off him," Redmond said. "We really didnt get anything going offensively either and we didnt help him there." Ross was working on a shutout before Marcell Ozuna homered in the seventh inning. The righty allowed four hits and struck out eight in seven innings. Tim Stauffer and Kevin Quackenbush each pitched an inning to close out the combined four-hitter. San Diego won for just the third time in 10 games and snapped the Marlins five-game winning streak. Gyorkos fourth homer in the second came after Yasmani Grandal reached on a throwing error by first baseman Garrett Jones. Everth Cabrera sparked the Padres biggest inning of the season with a leadoff single in the sixth. Seth Smith singled and Grandal walked to load the bases for Gyorko, who turned on a 2-0 fastball and hit it into the second deck of the Western Metal Supply Building down the left-field line. It was Gyorkos second career multi-homer game and his second grand slam. Fernandez had beaten the Padres in two previous starts by giving up just five hits in 14 2-3 scoreless innings with 18 strikeouts.

Heres how he sees ten of the weekends games going... Brighton v Aston Villa (Friday, Sky Sports 1, 7.45pm) Highlights from the Sky Bet Championship match between Bristol City and Brighton Im leaning towards Brighton because of how well they have done so far this season.I saw them against Bristol City just before the break and they were clinical - if not with a little bit of luck on their side - but also they were very composed. Villa have been on the up under Steve Bruce so far, but that could be brought to an end with a Brighton home win. PRUTTON PREDICTS: 2-0 (Sky Bet odds 13/2) Brighton vs A Villa November 18, 2016, 7:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Ipswich v Nottingham Forest (Saturday, Sky Sports 1, 5.30pm) Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Ipswich As much as it hurts to say, Nottingham Forest are on a dismal run of form at the moment with one win in 12 games.They are coming up against a team who have been middling, shall we say, but they had a good result against Sheffield Wednesday before the international break, which would put them ahead in my book. As much as my heart wants to say Forest, I cant see anything but an Ipswich win.PRUTTON PREDICTS: 2-0 (Sky Bet odds 8/1) Ipswich vs N Forest November 19, 2016, 5:15pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Leeds v Newcastle (Sunday, Sky Sports 1, 1.15pm) Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Norwich and Leeds This is a score draw for me. If Newcastle had played this fixture six or seven weeks ago, it would have been a straight forward win, but theres a real doggedness and determination about Leeds at the moment and they have a nice bit of quality. If they play, I think both Chris Wood and Dwight Gayle can see it as a great opportunity to get on the scoresheet. PRUTTON PREDICTS: 2-2 (Sky Bet odds 14/1) Leeds vs Newcastle November 20, 2016, 1:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Derby v Rotherham (Saturday, 3pm)Its looking pretty ominous for Rotherham. Hopefully that new manager bounce will come into effect sometime soon, but I cant see it happening at Derby. Highlights of Derbys 3-2 win over Wolves in the Sky Bet Championship They have been pretty solid since Steve McClaren came in - solid but spectacular - and for me, against a team that hasnt won any games in 12, its a home win.PRUTTON PREDICTS: 1-0 (Sky Bet odds 11/2)QPR v Norwich (Satuday, 3pm) Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Nottingham Forest and QPR Well, I have to lean towards our ex-colleague here! Hes already been at his most fully turned-up-to-11 Ian Holloway this week, hes been having a great time. Norwich havent been how we expected them to be this season and Alex Neil got plenty of defensive issues he needs to address. Ian Holloway says he wants to work with people who care about Queens Park Rangers after returning to the club as manager With Ollie being there and we know what he can do, hes very enthusiastic and Im sure hes going to get QPR pushing in the right direction, but I can see it being close.dddddddddddd. PRUTTON PREDICTS: 1-0 (Sky Bet odds 9/1)Birmingham v Bristol City (Saturday, 3pm) Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Huddersfield and Birmingham I saw Bristol City play just before the break, and I thought they showed a lot of effort and endeavour, and they dont lack in quality but they just have a little bit of naivety up against a solid Brighton team.Birmingham are unbeaten in six games at St Andrews. I think it is a challenging statistic against a very good team so I think it will be hard for Bristol City to get something. PRUTTON PREDICTS: 2-0 (Sky Bet odds 10/1) LISTEN: EFL Weekly podcast Ian Holloway, Karl Darlow and Danny Higginbotham feature on this weeks EFL Weekly podcast. Fulham v Sheffield Wednesday (Saturday, 3pm)Fulham were so clinical against Huddersfield and they were very impressive across the board against Brentford. When you have been at certain clubs, you do vouch for them, but casting a critical eye over the fixtures, Im looking at a Fulham win. Highlights of Fulham’s 2-0 win away to rivals Brentford in the Sky Bet Championship They have been so impressive, not just on the pitch, but also with getting people back to Craven Cottage. Its a tough place to go and if they took their away form to the Cottage, then it is a Fulham team that should at least be in the top half, if not the top eight for me.PRUTTON PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds 8/1)Cardiff v Huddersfield (Saturday, 3pm) Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Newcastle and Cardiff I think this is going to be a draw. After a great initial start by Neil Warnock, he has lost the last two and Huddersfield are in that little pocket where they can be consistent with performances but inconsistent with results. This is them trying to balance things out a bit .I can see it being a solid enough away performance from Huddersfield and a solid point at home for Cardiff.PRUTTON PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bet odds 9/2) Six months half price Upgrade to Sky Sports to watch Man Utd v Arsenal on Saturday and get the first six months half price Southend v Bradford (Saturday, 3pm) Highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between Bury and Southend. Again, this screams of a draw to me because they played each other not too long ago and that was a 1-1 draw.You look at recent league results and they both put four past Bury and Rochdale respectively. Highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between Bradford and Rochdale. Its two teams who are playing each other at the perfect time but I just cant see it being anything other than a draw with their previous game in their mind and both scoring four last time out. Theyll be confident going into it. PRUTTON PREDICTS: 2-2 (Sky Bet odds 14/1)Plymouth v Grimsby (Saturday, 3pm) Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two match between Crewe and Plymouth. I have to start by saying Grimsby have done wonders with how well they have adapted to being back in the English Football League, epitomised no better than by Omar Bogle who will get on the scoresheet in this game. But Im leaning towards a Plymouth team who look both rampant as well also consistent.
