SAN DIEGO -- There is no secret when it comes to facing Cincinnati Reds reliever Aroldis Chapman and his 100 mph fastball. "Hes not going to do anything tricky," the San Diego Padres Chris Denorfia said. "Hes going to throw it 100 mph. You have to be ready for the fastball. You have to sit on the fastball. It comes so quickly its hard for you to do anything with it." Denorfia did plenty against Chapman on Monday night, hitting a two-run, pinch-hit homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Padres a 2-1 victory over the Reds. "It sounded great off the bat," Padres manager Bud Black said. "I say 80 per cent of home runs you know it from the sound no matter who is pitching. But that sound tonight on his homer there was no doubt about it." With the Reds leading, 1-0, Chapman (3-4) walked leadoff batter Yonder Alonso on a 3-2 pitch. Denorfia then drove a 98 mph first-pitch offering from Chapman over the centre-field fence 423 feet away to deal the Reds their fourth straight loss. "It was pretty sweet. It was one of those when you hit it hard on that part of the bat, you dont even feel the vibration, it felt great," Denorfia said of his first game-ending home run of his career and third walk-off hit of his career. "It was a fastball like I throw everybody," said Chapman, who threw a 102 mph fastball in Alonsos at-bat. "I just threw a fastball and he hit a home run and theres nothing I can do." Chapman was disappointed he walked Alonso. "It bothered me because he was left-handed," Chapman said. "I walked him and after that I had to just continue going." Luke Gregerson (5-5) pitched the ninth for the win. San Diego natives Mike Leake and Sean OSullivan matched up against each other. Leake went seven scoreless innings for the Reds, allowing four singles. He retired 12 of the final 13 batters he faced. OSullivan, making his third start for the season for the Padres, went six innings and allowed one run on five hits. He walked five and struck out one. Reds centre fielder Derrick Robinson led off the fifth with a triple off the fence in left-centre. He scored when Cesar Izturis hit a grounder to first, which Alonso grabbed, touched first base for the putout then fired home, but Robinson just beat the throw to catcher Nick Hundley. That snapped a scoreless streak of 22 innings for the Reds going back to the second inning of Saturday nights game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. They have scored just three runs in their last four games. "OSullivan hung in there and made some pitches where he had to," Black said. "He battled and gave up only one run." Cincinnati loaded the bases in the fifth, but OSullivan got Devin Mesoraco to hit a grounder to short. The teams combined to leave 15 runners on base through the first five innings -- nine for the Reds. They also left the bases loaded in the first, while the Padres left them loaded in the third. Leake got Mark Kotsay to ground to first baseman Joey Votto with the bases loaded to end the third. The only batter to reach after the third against Leake was Everth Cabrera, who got on with an infield single leading off the fifth, but he was caught stealing by Mesoraco. Cabrera had two of the four hits off Leake. NOTES: Reds OF Shin-Soo Choo is listed as day-to-day after twisting his left ankle stealing second Sunday in Los Angeles. ...

Watt was so good last season that Houston defensive co-ordinator Wade Phillips called it the "best season ever" for a defensive lineman. So what will last seasons defensive player of the year do for an encore? Easy. "Im going to be better," he said as the Texans reported for training camp Thursday. "Just watch." It will be hard to top what he did last season, just his second in the NFL. He led the league with 20 1/2 sacks, had 81 tackles, four forced fumbles and defended 16 passes. Watt spent time this off-season doing what many would find to be a mundane task. He watched video of each of his games, not once but "over and over and over again." He wanted to pinpoint things he missed and find ways he could improve. "Theres sacks I missed here and there," he said. "Theres a couple of plays in the run game I missed here and there, some balls that could have been batted that werent batted. Little things. Im always looking at the little things. You have to be your harshest critic and Im by far my harshest critic and I have by far the highest expectations out of anyone in the entire world." Speaking of critics, Watt is annoyed that many have said he wont be able to replicate the success he had in 2012. "Why not? Why not? Dont sit here and tell me what I can and cant do," Watt said. He also finds it funny when people question whether hell succeed once teams make adjustments to account for him. He said adjustments were made last year that involved everything from double and triple teams to chip blocks. "If you want to focus all your attention on me, a) its not guaranteed to work and b) you have to worry about the 10 other guys on the field with me," he said. "And Im very fortunate to have 10 great other players on the field with me. Im also not going to give up just because Ive got three or four guys on me. Im going to get that sack." Hes enjoyed the fame hes gained from his work on the field and related stories about his delight at seeing pictures of fans wearing his jersey in places as far away as Japan. He loves Houston and the support he receives evverywhere he goes, even if it is a little overwhelming at times.dddddddddddd He said his plan to go out for breakfast on Thursday morning was foiled because he "cant take two steps without" people asking for autographs or pictures. Considering the speed of his rise to stardom, the 24-year-old is very aware that it could all go away at any moment. That, he says is one of the things that drives him to improve. This year, hes excited to play with ball-hawking safety Ed Reed and about the return of linebacker Brian Cushing from knee surgery. Reed had surgery to repair a partly torn labrum on April 30 and its unclear when hell be ready to play. He wasnt available on Thursday, but Andre Johnson, who has been close with Reed since the two played together at Miami, provided an update. "He feels like hes ahead of schedule," Johnson said. "He said hes feeling fine and hell be ready to go for opening day." Watt, who earned the moniker J.J. Swatt for his knack for batting down passes, has grand plans for how Reed, a nine-time Pro Bowler, can help complement his game. "I hope were going to the end zone many, many times," Watt said. "Ed and I talk about it all the time. I want to be tipping him interceptions all the time." Watt has noticed a different focus among the team than it had at the beginning of the season and believes it is partly due to the disappointing way Houston finished the regular season. The Texans began the season 11-1 before losing three of their last four regular-season games, which cost them bye week and home-field advantage in playoffs. "We definitely didnt play up to our potential at the end of the season last year," he said. "We just didnt finish the season strong and thats what we need to do." Houston won the AFC South title and its first-round playoff game in each of the last two seasons before losing in the divisional round. That kind of performance is unacceptable to Watt this year. "Division championships thats cool, but thats old news. First-round playoff wins -- cool -- but thats old news," he said. "We have one singular goal." ' ' '
