MIAMI -- Jose Fernandez allowed his first two walks of the season, and they came back to back. When his foot slipped on a delivery, the pitch bounced several feet in front of the plate. One frustrating inning ended with the Miami Marlins precocious ace shaking his head and screaming angrily into his glove. Fernandez was at less than his best Saturday, but still good enough to beat the San Diego Padres. He struck out eight in 6 2-3 innings while lowering his ERA to 0.71, and Miami beat the punchless San Diego Padres 5-0. The Marlins improved to 5-1, their best start since 2009. Last year their fifth victory came in their 21st game, and they finished with 100 losses. "Another win. Its incredible," Fernandez said. "To be 5-1 is pretty amazing." Fernandez (2-0) improved his career record at home to 11-0 despite being miffed about a high pitch count early in the game. "Hes such a great competitor," manager Mike Redmond said. "He wasnt as sharp as Ive seen. But his stuff is so good, he still has the ability to make his pitches when he needs to." Fernandez, who threw 108 pitches, left the game annoyed after throwing a wild pitch on a strikeout that allowed Alexi Amarista to reach base with two outs in the seventh. But he allowed only three hits and two walks. "I threw a lot of pitches -- not what I wanted to do," Fernandez said. "But we won. Thats what I care about." Three relievers followed to complete a five-hitter. Giancarlo Stanton had two RBIs to increase his season total to 11, one more than teammate Casey McGehee, who began the day leading the NL. Four of the Marlins runs scored with two outs. "Theres a lot of good stuff going on right now," Redmond said. Andrew Cashner (0-1) allowed only two runs in six innings, but the offensively challenged Padres reached a new low -- for the first time, they were shut out. Theyve scored eight runs this season, worst in the majors, and have lost four in a row since a win on opening day. The Padres went 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position and are batting .108 (4 for 37) in those situations. "Collectively as a group, were not swinging the bats well," manager Bud Black said. "We are in a team-wide situation that were not swinging. We dont have one guy thats swinging the bat well. Inversely, you look at the Marlins they have guys who are swinging well. And thats what happens. Its cyclical during the course of a season." San Diegos best threat against Fernandez came when he walked two to load the bases with the score 0-0 in the third, but he escaped when Seth Smith hit into an inning-ending double play. The game drew a crowd of 35,188, including Miami Heat owner Micky Arison and president Pat Riley, who chatted briefly with Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria. Stantons run-scoring single in the third gave the Marlins a 1-0 lead, which looked hefty with Fernandez on the mound. "We knew once we got that one run, we had a good chance," catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. Notes: Marlins 2B Rafael Furcal (hamstring) is scheduled to report Monday to extended spring training in Jupiter, Fla., with rehabilitation assignments to follow. He likely wont be activated until April 20 at the earliest. ... Padres RHP Casey Kelly was scheduled to pitch in a simulated game Saturday, but the workout was postponed at least two days because he was feeling discomfort in his surgically repaired elbow, Black said. The setback isnt believed to be significant. ... Padres RHP Tyson Ross will get an extra day of rest before his next start Tuesday at Cleveland. Black said he made the move in part so the two left-handers in the rotation wouldnt pitch back to back. ... Stanton has two homers in eight at-bats against RHP Ian Kennedy (0-1, 5.40), who is scheduled to start Sunday for the Padres. RHP Nathan Eovaldi (1-0, 3.00) will start for Miami.

This fight card, which takes place in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, has had a number of changes, including headliner Lyoto Machida replaced by fellow Brazilian Rafael Natal. One of the leagues top teams, the Los Angeles Kings have a lot of familiar names that wont come as bargains because of their recent success, but theres nothing wrong with tried and true performers. Top Picks: Since 2007-2008, C Anze Kopitar has scored 415 points, ranking 16th in the league, and hes plus-51 over the last three seasons, ranking 17th, so hes a safe mid-range option as a No. 1 centre. One concern: last season, Kopitar generated a career-low 2.09 shots on goal per game, down from 3.11 just two seasons before, so that trend needs to reverse course if hes going to be pushing a point per game on a regular basis, but he remains a high-end option until proven otherwise. Riding alongside Kopitar, LW Dustin Brown has been a productive player in his own right, with 149 goals since 2007-2008 ranking 26th. What sets Brown apart, however is his propensity for hitting and his place near the top of the league in that category, year after year, makes him a low-end No. 1 or high-end No. 2 fantasy left winger. On the other wide, RW Justin Williams has moved beyond the injury problems that plagued him earlier in his career, playing every game in the last two seasons. Both Williams and Brown are among 17 players to have scored at least 140 points while posting a plus-35 rating over the last three seasons. That consistency makes Williams a fine No. 2 option on right wing. Also since 2007-2008, RW Jeff Carter has scored 191 goals, ranking sixth. His assist totals are relatively low (lowest of the Top 31 goal-scorers in that time), which limits his upside somewhat, but as a No. 2 option, Carter has the upside to challenge for a 40-goal season. Defencemen Drew Doughty and Slava Voynov are both high-quality options. Doughty has never been as productive as he was in his second season, when he scored 59 points and was plus-20, and yet he still ranks eighth among defencemen with 157 points over the last four seasons. Voynov has 45 points in 102 NHL games through his first two seasons, but came to the forefront with 13 points in 18 playoff gamees last season.dddddddddddd Hes still more potential than proven, but his offensive game makes him a legit No. 2 option on defence. Coming off back surgery, G Jonathan Quick had the worst regular season of his career, posting a lowly .902 save percentage (after a .929 mark the year before), but he was once against stellar in the playoffs (.934 save percentage in 18 games), giving some hope that, when healthy, hell return to being an elite goaltender. Firmly entrenched as the starting goaltender for a Cup contender, Quick is an easy pick as a top five, maybe top three, goaltender. Value Plays: C Mike Richards hasnt scored in Los Angeles like he did in Philadelphia, and the 16:21 per game he played last season was his lowest since his rookie year, but hes a safe, reliable option as a No. 3 fantasy centre. Sleepers/Breakthrough: A lot of the prominent spots in the Kings lineup are locked up by veterans, so any breakthroughs may have to come with opportunities created by injuries. However, RW Matt Frattin, acquired from Toronto in the Jonathan Bernier deal, has 15 goals and 28 points in 82 NHL games, along with 23 goals and 35 points in 44 AHL games, so he has some offensive upside, maybe enough to be a 20-goal scorer, if he gets a chance in a top-six role at some point. D Jake Muzzin gets third pair minutes for the Kings, but was very effective last season, as one of eight defencemen to have at least 15 points and a plus-15 rating. Rookies: After a procuctive junior career, LW Tyler Toffoli made a smooth transition to the pros last season, scoring 28 goals and 51 points in the AHL, adding 11 points in 22 (regular season and playoff) games, giving the Kings a taste of what he might be able to do. If he gets regular playing time in a top-six role, Toffoli could score 20 goals and warrant a look in deeper, or most definitely keeper, leagues.
