NEW YORK -- Nothing had come easy to the New York Mets lately, until San Diego rookie Ryan Schimpf gave them a gift.Wilmer Flores drove in the winning run when Schimpf made a wild throw home in the 11th inning, and the Mets brushed off two stunning homers in beating the Padres 3-2 on Saturday night to stop a four-game slide.Were just hoping this turns the tide, manager Terry Collins said. Hopefully this is the start of something.Just called up from the minors, Gabriel Ynoa (1-0) pitched a perfect inning to win his major league debut after Jacob deGrom gave the Mets another dominant start. Flores finished with three hits, and the defending NL champions (58-58) won for only the fourth time in their last 17 home games.Yangervis Solarte and Wil Myers each hit a tying homer for the Padres. Myers connected off All-Star closer Jeurys Familia with two outs in the ninth, delaying the postgame concert by Styx.Theres nothing more clutch than that, San Diego manager Andy Green said.Neil Walker singled against Brandon Maurer (0-3) leading off the 11th and alertly hustled to third with one out on James Loneys soft single to shallow left field as the Padres, caught in a defensive shift, scrambled to cover the bag.With the infield playing halfway, Flores hit a grounder over the mound that was fielded in front of second base by Schimpf. Rather than try for an inning-ending double play, the second baseman fired home and his throw sailed well wide as Walker slid in safely.New York had lost its previous seven one-run games.I thought he was going to turn two, Flores said. Thats one of the things about putting the ball in play -- anything can happen.Schimpf, who homered twice and set a Padres rookie record with six RBI in the series opener Friday night, bent over and put his head between his knees.I let us down tonight, he said. I made the wrong decision.Familia retired his first two batters and was two strikes from closing it out when Myers drove a 97 mph sinker to left-center. His 23rd homer drew groans from a crowd of 36,854 on the first Pride Night at Citi Field.The major league leader with 39 saves, Familia has blown three of his past six chances after converting 52 straight regular-season opportunities dating to last year -- the third-longest streak in baseball history. He hadnt allowed a home run in the regular season since Freddie Freeman connected for Atlanta last Sept. 23.Still, restless Mets fans booed Familia when the inning ended.This game is not easy right now, Walker said. Were grinding away and this is what its all about.Solarte also jolted New York when his two-out homer in the seventh tied it at 1.Before that, deGrom was rolling along in sweltering humidity on a 91-degree night. He had faced the minimum and given up only one hit, a single by Schimpf in the fifth.In seven stellar innings, the right-hander struck out nine and permitted just three hits.Terrific performance, Collins said. Especially in that kind of weather, to go out, pitch like that, it was pretty impressive.Just off the disabled list, Jose Reyes provided an immediate spark for the slumping Mets. He drew a leadoff walk, dashed to second on a wild pitch and continued to third when catcher Christian Bethancourt threw high into center field for an error. Reyes scored on Walkers single.A sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Kelly Johnson put New York ahead 2-1 in the seventh.Jarred Cosart had by far his best outing for the Padres in his third start since they acquired him from Miami on July 29. The right-hander yielded one run and three hits in six innings but is still looking for his first major league win since Sept. 17, 2015.HARD-LUCK JAKEIn nine no-decisions this season, deGrom has a 1.92 ERA. Six times he has allowed no more than one run and failed to get a win. Familia has squandered three ninth-inning leads for deGrom, who has held the opposition to one run or fewer in each of his past four starts (0.65 ERA) and owns a 1.56 ERA since the All-Star break.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: RHP Brandon Morrow was called up from Triple-A El Paso and pitched a perfect eighth inning, his first major league outing since May 2, 2015. He was sidelined by a shoulder injury last year that eventually required surgery.Mets: In the third inning, Reyes fouled a ball off the plate that bounced up and hit him in the face. He went into a crouch and was checked by Collins and a trainer, but stayed in the game.UP NEXTPadres: LHP Clayton Richard (0-1, 6.46 ERA) likely will be limited to about 75 pitches when he starts the series finale Sunday as San Diego goes to a six-man rotation during a stretch of 16 games between off days. It will be Richards third outing and first start for the Padres this season.Mets: Rookie LHP Steven Matz (8-8, 3.60) faces the Padres for the first time. He is 1-7 in his past 13 starts.

Hit your snooze button.The College Football Playoff selection committee kept No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Michigan and No. 4 Clemson in the same spots as last week in its fourth CFP ranking of the season, but Louisville sank from No. 5 to No. 11, and new No. 5 Washington took its spot on the bubble heading into the Apple Cup on Friday against Washington State.The Huskies were followed by No. 6 Wisconsin and No. 7 Penn State, showing that No. 8 Oklahoma still has some work to do -- and needs some upsets to happen -- in order to move up. The Sooners earned their first win of the season against a ranked opponent Saturday at West Virginia, but it clearly wasnt enough to sway the committee to bump OU ahead of the two-loss Big Ten teams.The Sooners and No. 12 USC have been two of the hottest teams in the country in recent weeks, with OU winning eight straight and the Trojans winning seven straight, but they remain on the outside looking in. Its certainly possible that could change in the next two weeks, but the committee has made it clear again, in this particular snapshot, that both teams still need some help.In the Group of 5, one-loss No. 19 Boise State and two-loss No. 20 Houston were both ahead of undefeated No. 21 Western Michigan, again underscoring the committees emphasis on strength of schedule over an undefeated record. No. 25 Navy was also ranked this week after clinching the American Athletic Conference West Division.Heres what the bracket would look like today:As for the other major bowls, heres a projection based on the current ranking:The Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual gets the Pac-12 champ, which in this case would be No. 5 Washington. Since the Big Ten champ (assuming its either Ohio State or Michigan in this case) and another Big Ten team are in a semifinal, the Rose Bowl would choose the next highest-raanked Big Ten team, which would be No.dddddddddddd 6 Wisconsin.The Allstate Sugar Bowl is guaranteed the Big 12 champ, which would be No. 8 Oklahoma, but because SEC champ Alabama is in the semifinal, it would take the next highest-ranked SEC team, No. 13 Auburn.The Capital One Orange Bowl is guaranteed the ACC champion, but because Clemson is in a semifinal, it would take the next highest-ranked team, which would be No. 11 Louisville. The Orange Bowl then chooses the next highest-ranked team from the SEC, Big Ten or Notre Dame. In this case, it would be No. 7 Penn State.The highest-ranked Group of 5 conference champion is guaranteed a spot in a New Years Six bowl, so No. 19 Boise State would go to the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic based on todays ranking. The reality of the situation, though, is that Boise State still needs Wyoming to lose at New Mexico on Saturday to win the Mountain Wests Mountain Division. If that doesnt happen, it opens the door for a team such as Western Michigan. The Cotton Bowl would then get the highest-ranked at-large team, which would be No. 9 Colorado.Heres what the New Years Six could look like, based on todays rankings:Dec. 308 p.m. ET: Capital One Orange Bowl: No. 7 Penn State vs. No. 11 LouisvilleDec. 313 p.m. or 7 p.m. ET: College Football Playoff semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl: No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 4 Clemson3 p.m. or 7 p.m. ET: College Football Playoff semifinal at the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl: No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 3 MichiganJan. 21 p.m. ET: Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic: No. 9 Colorado vs. No. 19 Boise State5 p.m. ET: Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual: No. 6 Wisconsin vs. No. 5 Washington8:30 p.m. ET: Allstate Sugar Bowl: No. 8 Oklahoma vs. No. 13 Auburn ' ' '
