CHICAGO -- John Lackeys right shoulder was still sore when he arrived at Wrigley Field. Trevor Cahill then proved the Chicago Cubs have options if they need another starting pitcher.Cahill came off the disabled list to throw five innings of two-hit ball in his first start in nearly 16 months, and the Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-0 Tuesday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.He gave us something to talk about, manager Joe Maddon said.Lackey is nursing an injury that forced him to leave Sundays start and will be pushed back until at least Saturday.Mike Montgomery followed Cahill and pitched two innings, Hector Rondon worked the eighth and Joe Smith walked two in the ninth before Aroldis Chapman got two outs to close a three-hitter.Cahill (2-3) also drove in a run with a safety squeeze bunt, and the Cubs added runs on a wild pitch and Addison Russells sacrifice fly off Matt Garza (4-5).Cahill allowed two walks and struck out Manny Pina with a runner on third to end the fifth on his 84th pitch.He had really good stuff, Maddon said.Chicagos Jason Hammel (12-5) was to face fellow right-hander Chase Anderson (7-10) in the second game.Cahill was a 2010 All-Star before consecutive 200-inning seasons with Oakland. But the right-hander struggled in Arizona, started three games for Atlanta in April last year, moved to the bullpen and was released before signing with Chicago.He was a reliever until going on the disabled list with right knee tendinitis. But Cahill was stretched out in a rehab assignment and had good command in his first big league appearance since July 9.Cahill was activated as the 26th player for the doubleheader, so the Cubs will have to decide on a roster move for him Wednesday.Who knows? Im just here, Cahill said. Whatever they need me to do, Ill do it. . Every time I speculate it always seems like it comes out completely different. I felt a lot better today.Unlike the previous two games, the Chicago bullpen held the lead.After Smiths troubles, Chapman hit 103 mph and struck out one as he earned his fifth save with the Cubs, who ended a two-game skid.Garza allowed a run in a 28-pitch first inning and his run-scoring wild pitch in the third made it 2-0. Cahill successfully bunted a 3-2 pitch in the fourth, and first baseman Chris Carters flip home wasnt in time to get a sliding Chris Coghlan.Garza allowed five hits and threw 103 pitches in five innings for the Brewers, who have lost six of nine, Tyler Cravy, Milwaukees 26th player, threw two scoreless innings.They did a good job of grinding out at-bats, Garza said. They fouled off a lot pitches. Granted, I didnt have the best command today.Coghlan hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth off Damien Magnifico, who made his major league debut.Maddon said Lackey didnt undergo an MRI, but said there was no clarity regarding his status for his next start.The fact that (Cahill) pitched as well as he did and hes stretched out as he is, it opens up possibilities, Maddon said.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: Struggling RHP Michael Blazek went on the 15-day disabled list with a right forearm strain. He was really just fatigued, manager Craig Counsell said. But because of the scheduling situation and because hes had some elbow soreness this season, we thought it was best to be safe. Magnifico was called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs.Cubs: RHP Pedro Strop (knee surgery) was off crutches. Hes expected to miss at least a month.NO BRAUNBrewers slugger Ryan Braun, who homered twice and drove in six runs Sunday, wasnt in the game one lineup. He flied out as a pinch hitter in the eighth.PAPBELBON?Maddon said he hasnt been involved in and discussions about signing former Nationals closer Jonathan Pabelbon, who was released Saturday by Washington.Im not saying it cant happen, Maddon said, but for right now there is nothing happening.LONG DAYMaddon called day-night doubleheaders awful. Its even worse in Wrigley Fields cramped visiting clubhouse.Were on top of each other, thats for sure, Counsell said.UP NEXTCubs RHP Jon Lester (12-4, 2.93) faces RHP Jimmy Nelson (6-12, 4.07) on Wednesday night.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- With two touchdowns in the first five minutes against the reeling New York Jets, the San Francisco 49ers looked poised to finally get their first win since the season opener.Then for the rest of the game, they became the same old Niners and extended their franchise-record losing streak to 12 games.Bilal Powell scored on a 19-yard run after New York stopped Carlos Hyde on fourth-and-short to open overtime and the Jets dealt the 49ers perhaps their most disheartening loss of a lost season with a 23-17 victory on Sunday.Its something that we have to be able to fight through, quarterback Colin Kaepernick said. We have to be able to change this course that were on and when were in these positions, we have to make plays at the end of the game, finish the game and be able to pull out a win.Despite running for 248 yards at a clip of 9.2 yards per carry and facing a team on a short week off a listless loss with an untested quarterback and a backup running back, San Francisco (1-12) still managed to find a way to lose.The Niners broke out to a 14-0 lead for the third time in the past six home games, but have somehow lost them all. This was their record-tying ninth loss this season after scoring first as the pattern of fast starts and second-half duds continued under first-year coach Chip Kelly.After taking a 17-3 lead in the second quarter, San Francisco was held to 133 yards, no points and punted six times on the final eight drives over the last 42:10 of game time.With left tackle Joe Staley out with a hamstring injury and center Daniel Kilgore (right leg), tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) and receiver Torrey Smith (concussion) leaving during the game, Kelly said he got too conservative.Thats on me as the play caller, but I justt really wasnt confident, he said.ddddddddddddThat allowed Bryce Petty and the Jets to tie the game with two fourth-quarter scores. New York used a 15-play, 66-yard drive to cut the deficit to 17-14 with 5:04 left when Powell bowled his way in for a 5-yard run and Petty ran in the 2-point conversion .New York then forced a punt and Petty led the Jets 33 yards to tie the game on Nick Folks 50-yard field goal with 38 seconds left.I think they got worn down, Kelly said of his defense. They were on the field too much because our offense couldnt sustain and stay on the field.Despite blowing the lead and being forced into overtime, the Niners were in good position after winning the toss and driving to the Jets 37. Facing a fourth-and-2 and being too far away for a field-goal attempt, Kelly called Hydes number in hopes that a player who had gained 193 yards on his first 16 carries could get 2 at a crucial spot.Instead, the Jets stuffed him for no gain and then drove down for the winning score.Thats a play weve been running all game, Hyde said. The Jets just played good defense right there. ... I didnt have a lane where I could go. I just tried to hit it up there and tried to get a push, but they did a good job there.Six plays later, Powell was in the end zone following the winning run and the Niners were left to figure out how they blew yet another game.We have to be able to change this course that were on, Kaepernick said. When were in these positions, we have to make plays at the end of the game, finish the game and be able to pull out a win.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
