Young formally announced his retirement Friday after returning to Rangers Ballpark

SAN DIEGO -- Jake Arrieta might be starting a late-season push for an NL Cy Young Award. Hes done it before.Arrieta threw eight scoreless innings of two-hit ball to become the NLs first 16-game winner and Kris Bryant and Addison Russell homered, lifting the Chicago Cubs over the San Diego Padres 5-3 on Tuesday night.The story line is Jake, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. He hardly ever lost the plate and his fastball command kept getting better as the game progressed. That was really reminiscent of last year.Arrieta (16-5) allowed a single to Alex Dickerson in the second and Christian Bethancourts double in the eighth. The defending NL Cy Young winner has two no-hitters in the past year, including one while he went 11-0 with an 0.41 ERA over his final 12 starts last season.Its hard to replicate what he did last year, Maddon said. He just nailed it. So if he gets hot over these last couple of weeks you could see more of what you just saw tonight.The Padres brought the go-ahead run to the plate in the ninth, but Aroldis Chapman got the last two outs for his 28th save after Felix Pena was charged with three runs.I was mad at Joe for taking me out, Arrieta said. But at the same time he said, `remember last year? Lets conserve some things for October and late September. That is our game plan.We want to be as strong and dominant as we can be but still in the back of our mind that is that late September, early October, mid-October, is really the most important thing for the ball club. Could I have finished the game? Yes. But does it play in our favor to maybe conserve that for later? Yes.Bryants 33rd home run tied him with Colorados Nolan Arenado for the NL lead.Russell smacked his fifth homer in five games, a two-run shot that put the Cubs ahead 4-0 in the fifth.Arrieta won for the fourth straight start. He had six strikeouts and three walks.The major league-leading Cubs are 21-5 in their last 26 games and 35 games over .500 for the first time since Sept. 25, 2008.Chicago has scored at least three runs in 22 straight games and has hit a minimum of two home runs in each of its last seven outings.Christian Friedrich (4-10) lost his eighth consecutive decision. He lasted 5 1/3 innings, giving up five runs and seven hits. He walked four and struck out two.Bryant got his second RBI in the sixth when his sacrifice fly scored Arrieta, who was aboard on a one-out triple.In the Cubs three-run fifth, Ben Zobrist stroked a run-scoring double which preceded Russells long fly. Zobrist had three hits.I definitely made some bad pitches, Friedrich said. It kind of got away from me.Bryant, who won the Golden Spikes Award at the University of San Diego, hit his second home run in two games in the third. His one-out blast put the Cubs ahead 1-0.The Padres blew several chances early.Travis Jankowski was picked off third in the first, and Arrieta, who is 27-5 since the beginning of last August, wiggled from jams in the next two innings thanks to two double plays, the first of three for the Cubs.The pickoff at third was rather large and the double plays, those are demoralizing for the other side, Maddon said.TRAINERS ROOMCubs: RHP John Lackey (right shoulder strain) is progressing with his throwing program and will have a bullpen session this weekend in Los Angeles.Padres: RHP Tyson Ross (right shoulder strain) will have a 45-pitch outing on Thursday for Class A Lake Elsinore.

Hes 2-0 with a 1.26 ERA in four starts against the Padres. Hendricks has won all but three road games this year.Padres: Paul Clemens (2-2, 4.82), who was claimed off waivers last month, worked five innings in his last outing on Thursday but didnt figure in the decision.

Young formally announced his retirement Friday after returning to Rangers Ballpark, his baseball home for all but the last of his 13 major league seasons. Fremantle coach Ross Lyon wants his players to focus on penetration rather than perfection in Saturday nights clash with Melbourne in Darwin.Lyon was critical of his teams ball movement in their recent 48-point loss to Collingwood, saying they were too cute in possession rather than focusing on breaking the lines.The Dockers are likely to be confronted with slippery conditions in Darwins humidity, and Lyon said his team couldnt afford to repeat the way they played against Collingwood.Some of our first movement with the ball was good, but we played with no penetration, Lyon said.Our ball use and over handball gave us no chance.We didnt take the contest on. We tried to be too perfect in the conditions.Its going to be 32 degrees (in Darwin). But more so the humidity - it will be quite slippery.Wed like to play with a bit more penetration when weve got the opportunity.Lyon said he had spent the past week addressing the issue, and he hopes the players learnt from theirr mistakes against Collingwood.ddddddddddddt the end of the day its an invasion game, Lyon said.If you think you can invade to the other end without taking a contest on, well, youre really optimistic arent you?Particularly in adverse weather conditions. Were trying to clarify those decisions for the players and those principles.Dockers ruckmen Zac Clarke and Jack Hannath were both dropped in the wake of poor recent showings, while midfielder Michael Barlow goes out with a broken finger.Ruckman Jon Griffin returns after recovering from a hamstring injury, while Ed Langdon and Garrick Ibbotson are the other inclusions.Griffins ruck duel with Max Gawn will play a critical role in the match.Melbourne defender Jack Grimes has been named for his first game of the season, while Mitch White also earns a go.Tomas Bugg and Chris Dawes were axed.
