AN DIEGO — The San Diego Padres’ whirlwind day started with team keeping their ace pitcher, then finished with the club extending their season-high win streak with a comeback victory.
In between star Jake Peavy vetoing a proposed trade to the Chicago White Sox earlier on Thursday and the victory, the Padres traded for outfielder Tony Gwynn Jr., the son of San Diego Hall of Famer outfielder Tony Gwynn.
Scott Hairston capped off the day by singling in the winning run as the Padres scored twice in the ninth for a 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday night.
Hairston’s bases-loaded single with two outs off Brian Wilson gave the Padres their season-high sixth straight win and a three-game sweep of the Giants.
“It’s been a crazy 24 hours,” Peavy said before San Diego’s comeback win.
The day would end with the Padres sweeping the Giants and Gwynn Jr. scoring the game-winning run on Hairston’s single after a pinch-hit walk.
“I’m glad to be back,” said Gwynn Jr., who grew up in the Padres’ locker room during his father’s 20-year career, all spent in San Diego. “It still hasn’t really kicked in yet. But my nerves were actually pretty good being up at the plate in the ninth inning.”
San Diego retained Peavy when he turned down a trade to the Chicago White Sox, choosing to remain with his longtime team. The Padres and White Sox had reached an agreement, but needed the 2007 Cy Young Award winner to waive his no-trade clause.
Rays 6, Athletics 5
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Pinch-hitter Ben Zobrist tied the game with a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth and Carl Crawford then won it with an RBI single in the Tampa Bay Rays’ 6-5 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Thursday.
Zobrist got the Rays even at 5 with the homer off Andrew Bailey.
After Dioner Navarro doubled and B.J. Upton walked against Brad Ziegler (0-1), Crawford lined the game-winning single to center.
Adam Kennedy had an RBI single and Ryan Sweeney drew a bases-loaded walk off Joe Nelson (1-0) to give Oakland a 5-3 lead in the top of the ninth.
Tampa Bay’s Matt Garza allowed two runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings. Oakland left-hander Dallas Braden gave up three runs and six hits over seven innings.
Two walks and Jason Giambi’s single off the wall in center field against Tampa Bay closer Troy Percival loaded the bases in the ninth. Kennedy’s single made it 4-3 and Sweeney followed with his RBI walk.
Jason Bartlett gave the Rays a 3-2 lead with his sixth homer, a solo shot in the sixth. He had just one homer in 128 games last season. Bartlett went 1 for 4, and is hitting .376 this year.
Oakland tied it at 3 on Orlando Cabrera’s RBI single off Dan Wheeler in the eighth.

Propecia the Male Hair Growth Pill - Buy Propecia with Massive Summer Savings!!
The Propecia Hair Growth Pill (Finasteride) works by inhibiting the action of an enzyme in the body that is called type II 5-alpha reductase by doctors. Male Pattern Baldness frequently occurs due to production of male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Such Type II 5-alpha reductase enzyme is responsible for converting the male hormone testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. The said Finasteride in Propecia inhibits action of this enzyme. DHT is a specific hormone that can damage hair follicles and often lead to hair loss in men who are genetically sensitive to it. The (Finasteride) Propecia works in the body by specifically lowering the levels of DHT in the scalp. To prevent further male hair loss, we suggest the sooner you start taking propecia the better it will be.
The drug Propecia works only in men who have pattern baldness. Women are always strongly advised to never administer Propecia, as it was specifically designed for the use of males Only who are suffering from hair-loss or male pattern baldness. It apparently does not help men who have lost hair due to chemotherapy or other medical reasons. Propecia is also not recommended for use by cancer patients.

Makeup MECCA
Antcipated arrival of big-name beauty emporium has glamourpusses glowing
55For example, first we got a Lululemon -- yay, quality yoga clothes! -- then an Aritzia, one of my faves to hit when in Toronto, and now Winnipeggers have another big-name retailer to get excited about.
Cosmetics giant Sephora is opening its doors next weekend at Polo Park Shopping Centre, much to the delight of city makeup mavens who have been eagerly anticipating the store's arrival for months.
For those who haven't had the opportunity to visit a Sephora, it's best described as a department store entirely devoted to cosmetics, fragrances and skin-care products -- a kind of makeup superstore.
According to Sephora Pro Beauty Team member Nathalie Bechard, it's a one-stop shop for beauty, from head to toe.
"It's a huge mecca where you can find everything from cosmetics to body care and skin care; there are over 100 brands available," says Bechard.
Personally, I find the sheer size of the store to be a bit overwhelming and almost intimidating -- that is a whole lotta product and cosmetics. So, with so much to choose from, where does one begin?
Luckily, Bechard has a few recommendations to keep your skin fresh and glowing, especially given the dry, hot, high-UV summers we get here in Winnipeg.
Exfoliate:
Dead skin can make you look dull. Buff it off with a granular or chemical exfoliant for smooth, bright and clean skin. Or take your daily face wash to the next level with Sephora's No. 1 bestseller, the Clarisonicskin-care system.
Moisturize:
Harsh UV rays and dry air can dehydrate your skin, making it look dull and rough. Investing in a good-quality moisturizer with SPF will not only protect against the suns harsh afternoon rays, but also keep your skin looking healthy and supple.
Bronze:
Fake it till you make it, says Bechard. Bronzers create that sun-kissed look and add a little sheen to your skin without the harmful effects of tanning.
Once you've taken care of your skin, Bechard says, look to golden hues and shimmery glosses to complete your look this summer. For a touch of colour, use a turquoise liner to brighten your eyes or some navy polish to add a little flair to your toes.

Acne scars can be more than skin deep
VIRGINIA BEACH -- It's the fear many teens face -- an acne outbreak, especially at prom time.
Britany Hutton is taking steps to make sure it doesn’t happen to her. Under the care of nationally-known dermatologist Dr. David McDaniel, the Salem High School senior is undergoing a combination of treatments to clear up her skin.
McDaniel says teens want a more aggressive treatment to get rid of acne faster. Injecting a mild steroid called kenalog into the pimple can make it disappear nearly overnight by reducing the inflammation.

Kathryn Zapatka began the injection treatment last year as she prepared for prom, but the outbreaks continued. She was referred to Dr. McDaniel.
Acne scars can be more than skin deep; they can damage your self image.
“I tried it and it was like a Godsend. I was so lucky to be referred to him,” she said.
Five months later, Zapatka's skin – and outlook on life -- has improved.
“Before, I really did not have that type of ambition. I was kinda like fine where I was, wasn't trying to venture out, but now I have the confidence to just pursue everything I've wanted to,” she relates.
With a few weeks to go before the prom, Hutton is ready to face the prom and the future with a bright smile.
“It’s working very well and I've only been seeing him for about a month. Lots of people have noticed the breakouts have stopped, so I'm very happy,” Hutton says.
Some medications and injections are often covered by insurance, but other treatments are not. The parents of these teens are paying $200-$300 every two weeks for surface treatments and they say it’s worth it.
