DENVER -- Jon Gray thought a complete-game performance was reason enough to celebrate. Little did he know hed also etched his name into the Colorado Rockies record book.Gray struck out a franchise-record 16 and pitched a four-hitter to lead the Rockies to an 8-0 victory over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.Gray (10-8) threw 113 pitches in surpassing Darryl Kiles 14-strikeout performance on Aug. 20, 1998. He was told in a postgame interview of the feat.I didnt know that, Gray said. I just thought I threw a complete game. I was really pumped about it.Tom Murphy homered twice and had five RBI. Nolan Arenado added his NL-leading 38th home run.Colorado has won the first two games in the three-game series, which included an 8-7 walk-off win on Friday night.Gray was certainly the star in this latest victory.You cant overshadow that, Murphy said. I think you could have had six home runs tonight and it wouldve been overshadowed.Edwin Jackson (4-6) gave up 10 hits and eight runs in 4? innings. The Padres did not put a runner in scoring position.Gray struck out four batters in the second inning, including a strikeout on a passed ball. He tied Bruce Ruffin (July 25, 1996) as the only other Colorado pitcher to accomplish the feat.The hard-throwing 24-year-old then fanned two more in the third for his sixth strikeout in a row, the franchises most in a single game. He had 14 Ks after seven and tacked on two more in the ninth for the team record.He was really tough to hit tonight, San Diego first baseman Wil Myers said. Great slider, and I think his fastball made his slider better tonight with how well he commanded both sides of the plate. Its the best Ive seen him throw.The Rockies took control early when Arenado hit a two-run homer that hit the left-field concourse with two outs in the first. David Dahl then kept the inning going with a double and Murphy homered to give Colorado a 4-0 lead.Later, Charlie Blackmon hit an RBI triple in the fourth and Murphy hit a three-run shot in the fifth for his first multihomer game of his career.It was just one of those games where we were dominated, Padres manager Andy Green said. The mistakes Edwin Jackson made today, he paid for. Every pitch was hit when he missed a spot. He just left them over the middle and they made him pay.DJ LeMahieu singled and reached base twice to extend his on-base streak to 33 games. His .349 batting average is one point ahead of Washingtons Daniel Murphy for the lead in the NL batting race.SADNESSThe Padres announced that 3B Yangervis Solartes wife, Yuliett, died Saturday due to complications from her fight against cancer.Solarte thanked people on Twitter for their support late Saturday night.

PETERSBURG, Fla. GRAPEVINE, Texas -- You think you have it all figured out, dont you?Four playoff spots, four undefeated Power 5 teams.Fine.But, um, whos No. 2?The first College Football Playoff rankings of 2016 will be revealed Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, and while the playoff picture seems relatively simple with Alabama, Clemson, Michigan and Washington all still undefeated, the selection committee probably wont use alphabetical order to figure out its top four.There are still some questions for the 12 members of the selection committee, who began their first official rankings meeting Monday afternoon and reconvened Tuesday morning. The evenings reveal will provide the first insight into how they view the top contenders. Heres a look at the most pressing questions heading into the first rankings:1. Whos No. 2? Alabama has looked like the most complete team in the country and the clear No. 1 for the past nine weeks, but who follows? Not all undefeated records are created equal. Clemson has three marquee wins against ranked opponents in Auburn, Louisville and Florida State, but hasnt looked dominant against the likes of Troy and NC State. Michigan has looked?dominant, particularly on defense, but has left its home state only once all season -- and that was to play a 2-6 Rutgers team. Washingtons first road win against a ranked opponent in Utah couldnt have come at a better time -- but thats the lone highlight on its playoff résumé. The case can be made for and against each team, so which way will the committee lean?2. How are the one-loss teams ranked? The one-loss club has grown significantly since West Virginia, Baylor and Nebraska joined this past weekend. Ohio State, Louisville, Florida and Texas A&M are also still clinging to playoff hopes. How the committee initially ranks these teams will give an indication of whether any of them have a shot at cracking the top four without winning a conference championshhip.dddddddddddd The Big 12 is still up for grabs but doesnt have a conference championship game. Ohio State and Nebraska can still win their respective divisions in the Big Ten. Florida would have a monumental task upending Alabama in the SEC title game, should that matchup occur, and the Aggies need to win out and look spectacular in the process.3. Does any two-loss team stand a chance? Remember last years Stanford team, which lost to Northwestern and Oregon? The Cardinal were in the mix as a two-loss Pac-12 champion and finished No. 6. -- ahead of one-loss Ohio State -- in the final CFP rankings. Is there a two-loss team out there that the committee views similarly? Auburn is surging, but it needs to win out and have Texas A&M lose again to win the West. LSUs only league loss was to Auburn, so it can still win the West if it wins out and the Tigers lose again. Wisconsin now owns the tiebreaker over Nebraska if the Huskers lose again, and they play at Ohio State this week. Oklahoma hasnt lost a Big 12 game yet, and Utah can still win the South and get a second shot at Washington in the Pac-12 title game.4. Who leads the Group of 5? Boise State had been the front-runner until its 30-28 loss at Wyoming on Saturday. Will the selection committee reward undefeated Western Michigan, which has road wins at Northwestern and Illinois? A two-loss Boise State team was ranked ahead of an undefeated Marshall in 2014, which spoke volumes about what the committee thought of Marshalls strength of schedule that season. Because of its road wins over Big Ten teams, Western Michigan should be able to make a stronger case this year, but nothing is a guarantee. The highest-ranked Group of 5 champion is guaranteed a spot in a New Years Six bowl, which would be the Cotton Bowl this season.
