Harvard probing dozens for possible cheating

US women win 5th straight gold, rout France 86-50

First Posted: 8/19/2012 (AP) Clayton Richard pitched eight sparkling innings, Cameron Maybin drove in three runs and the San Diego Padres snapped a five-game losing streak with a 7-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.
The Giants dropped out of first in the NL West and trail the Dodgers by a half-game heading into their big three-game series in Los Angeles. Madison Bumgarner is scheduled to face Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw in the opener on Monday night.
Richard (10-12) allowed an unearned run and five hits while improving to 3-1 with a 2.02 ERA in his last five starts. The left-hander was 0-3 with a 7.64 ERA in his three previous starts against San Francisco this season.
Maybin tied his career high with four hits, including a two-run single in the first inning when the Padres scored three times against Ryan Vogelsong (10-7). Everth Cabrera and Will Venable had three hits apiece and San Diego finished with 16 overall while avoiding matching its longest losing streak of the season.
San Francisco had scored 22 times and collected 37 hits in three games since outfielder Melky Cabrera was suspended on Wednesday for 50 games following a positive test for testosterone.
The Padres improved to 4-8 against San Francisco this season and 10-20 over the last two years.
Vogelsong had his second straight sub-par outing. He gave up eight runs and nine hits in 2 2-3 innings in a 14-2 loss to Washington on Monday.
