Salt Lake City, UT (SportsNetwork.com) - Gordon Hayward joked last month on Twitter that hed crush LeBron James in a game of one-on-one. Hayward was talking about video games, but he did get the best of James on Wednesday. Hayward stepped back and drained a right-wing jumper at the buzzer to lift the Utah Jazz to a 102-100 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. James, who had six points in the final 13.9 seconds, hit three free throws after drawing a foul from beyond the arc on Derrick Favors with 3.4 seconds left to tie the game, but Hayward had the answer at the other end to send the Cavs to a 1-3 start. Hayward took an inbounds pass at the top of the arc as James fell down, took a few dribbles to his right, stepped back and rose over the outstretched arm of Tristan Thompson as time expired. Hayward finished with 21 points and seven assists, Derrick Favors posted 21 points and 10 rebounds and Enes Kanter added 18 points for the Jazz, who have won two of three since starting 0-2. Kyrie Irving netted a game-high 34 points and James provided 31 for Cleveland, which trailed by as many as 16, but Irvings runner with 5:25 left staked the Cavs to their first lead of the second half at 87-85. James nailed a jumper to make it 89-86 before Utah responded with a 10-1 run. Favors put in a reverse layup and split a pair of free throws to cap the surge and give the Jazz a 96-90 advantage with 1:29 to go. After Alec Burks sunk two foul shots to give Utah a 98-94 spread, James swished a fadeaway triple from the left corner with 13.9 ticks on the clock. Burks knocked down two more freebies at the other end prior to James three makes from the charity stripe. Earlier, the Jazz made nine of their first 11 shots and raced out to a 22-14 start before settling for a 32-23 cushion following a quarter of play. Utah led 59-48 at halftime and built the margin as high as 15 early on in the third. Cleveland closed the third on an 18-6 surge to get within 76-75 heading into the final frame.

SAN DIEGO -- Padres right-hander Joe Wieland jumped up in the dugout and pumped his fist after Drew Stubbs grounded out to end the game. Wieland paused, though, before continuing celebrating his first big league win, a 4-3 victory against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night. "I put my head down and said a prayer and thanked God for it," Wieland said. "I had to hold back some tears. Its been a long road. Getting called up, I didnt think it would take 29 months to get the first win. It just makes it that much more special." Wieland (1-0) was making his second start and fourth appearance since May 6, 2012. He underwent reconstructive surgery on his right elbow in July 2012, forcing him to miss all of 2013 and part of this season. He was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Sept. 2. He had a no-decision in a start at Colorado on Sept. 6. Afterward, he stashed away a game ball, his jersey and a lineup card, and got a traditional beer shower. "It was the best shower ever," said Wieland, 24, who was acquired from Texas along with Robbie Erlin for Mike Adams on July 31, 2011. "I told Joe that hed been through a lot the last two years, going through a Tommy John and another minor surgery on the elbow earlier this year, to persevere and keep at it," manager Bud Black said. "Joes still a young man. Hes got a big future ahead of him. He was on a nice track after the trade with Texas. Injuries happen in this game, and that was a big one, for a pitcher." Tommy Medica hit a three-run home run and a replay-aided double for the Padres, who notched their 76th win with four games to go, matching their victory total from each of the last two seasons. It was San Diegos 48th home win, setting the franchise single-season record at Petco Park, which opened in 2004. Colorados Justin Morneau went 0 for 3 to see his NL-leading average drop two percentage points to .317. Pittsburghs Josh Harrison went 1 for 5 to drop to .316. Wieland held the Rockies to three runs and three hits in 5 1-3 innings, struck out five and walked three. Joaquin Benoit pitched the ninth for his 10th save in With the Padres trailing 1-0 after Charlie Bllackmon homered leading off the game, Medica homered off Yohan Flande into the lower deck on the Western Metal Supply Co.dddddddddddd brick warehouse in the left-field corner at Petco Park with two outs in the bottom of the first. It was his ninth. Yangervis Solarte was aboard on a leadoff walk and Yasmani Grandal was on base after getting hit by a pitch. Blackmon homered to right to open the game, his 19th. It was his fifth this year from the leadoff spot. The Rockies pulled to 4-3 in the sixth. Wieland walked Rafael Ynoa and Justin Morneau with one out before making way for R.J. Alvarez, who allowed RBI singles to Michael Cuddyer and Corey Dickerson. Cuddyer and Dickerson each had three hits. "That kid had a good fastball and threw the ball well, a good breaking ball," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said of Wieland. "Of course when they get a lead their bullpen is tough. They start to match up and they got some guys that have put together some real good years out there. So it makes it tough playing from behind against these guys in this place." Flande (0-6) allowed four runs and four hits in four innings, struck out four and walked one. Medica doubled down the right-field line in the fourth. It was originally ruled a foul ball by first base umpire Jerry Meals but Padres manager Bud Black challenged and the call was overturned. The Padres loaded the bases but failed to score.
