SAN DIEGO -- Bobby Hurley let his Arizona State Sun Devils have it after their 97-64 loss Wednesday to No. 18 Purdue in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden.He called them soft, and then ran them ragged in practice.They paid attention, not wanting it to get any worse.Tra Holder scored 17 points and Shannon Evans II had 16, including a 3-pointer that started a 13-3 run at the start of the second half, to lead Arizona State to a 74-63 victory against San Diego State on Saturday.Obinna Oleka had 15 points and 12 rebounds, and Torian Graham scored 15 for the Sun Devils (6-4), who didnt get their first lead until three minutes into the second half.Hurley was happy with pretty much everything except 13 turnovers in the first half.Hopefully this was a turning point for us, Hurley said. Hopefully we found something we need to move forward with the rest of the year.Trey Kell scored 20 points for the Aztecs (4-4), who twice led by 10 points in the first half before losing their third straight game.Trailing 32-25 at halftime, the Sun Devils opened the second half with 3-pointers by Evans, Holder and Kodi Justice that pulled ASU into a 34-34 tie. While stifling the Aztecs on defense, the Sun Devils continued the run with a layup by Holder and a putback by Jethro Tshisumpa for a 38-35 lead.SDSU tied it on Max Hoetzels 3-pointer before Evans answered with another shot from behind the arc.The Sun Devils stayed hot from behind the 3-point line, with Evans and Torian Graham hitting long shots for a 53-41 lead.Evans said the first practice after the Purdue loss was real tough. We did a lot of running. I dont know if we shot the ball at all but we did do a lot of running. It felt like we were a track team at one point.With ASU on break, the players knew practices could be rougher if they didnt step up against SDSU.We know theres no time limit when youre on break so we have that in the back of our mind like, `Man, if we dont listen, were going to be in for a long one. Preaching that mentality, play for each other and play hard, we came out on top.San Diego State twice led by 10 points in the first half, the second time at 32-22 after Hoetzel hit a 3-pointer with just more than a minute left before halftime. Evans hit a 3-pointer for ASU on the next possession.This is not what Im used to, this is not what Trey is used to, this is not what our program is used to, SDSU coach Steve Fisher said. Weve had a program thats played with toughness and pride and success. And were still capable of doing that, but you have to do it for 40 minutes. You have to do it together. You cant let one end dictate the other.Were going have to, all of us, circle the wagons, self-analyze, try to help one another, not fragment, fight together, and get one win that will give you a good taste when you leave the locker room and give you a chance to get two wins, Fisher said.BIG PICTUREArizona State: This was the Sun Devils final road trip of non-conference play. They have three home games before opening Pac-12 action at Stanford on Dec. 30. Theyve already made cross-country trips to Orlando, the Bahamas and New York.San Diego State: The Aztecs were coming off consecutive road losses to Loyola of Chicago and Grand Canyon, which will certainly hurt their NCAA Tournament chances unless they win the Mountain West Conference tournament championship and with it an automatic bid.BOOSThe Aztecs were booed by the crowd during a rough stretch in the second half.To me personally, I dont pay attention to it, but its not something you want to hear being the home team, hearing your home crowd boo you, Kell said. But at the end of the day, the fans dont control how we play. Thats on us. Weve got to look at each other, start with ourselves and go from there.AN UPSETIn 1992, Hurley and a team of other college players stunned the Dream Team in a closed scrimmage at UC San Diego before the Barcelona Olympics. That was one of the great experiences of my life, said Hurley, who played in three Final Fours with Duke and won two national titles. I loved it. We played Torrey Pines, too.

Ortiz will start in place of injured righty Brandon Morrow, who is dealing with back spasms and has been pushed back to Saturday. The 39-year-old Ortiz absorbed the loss in Boston on Friday, as he allowed a run and four hits in five innings. However, he walked five batters and fell to 0-1 to go along with a 3.24 ERA. "He did a tremendous job," manager John Gibbons told the teams official website. "He did everything and more than we wanted to or expected." Ortiz has won both of his starts against the Giants, but hasnt faced them since 2006. Toronto scored early and often in Tuesdays opener, as it put six runs across in the first inning to back R.A. Dickey in a 10-6 rout. Dickey (3-5) struck out a season-high 10 in six innings of six-hit, two-run ball for Toronto, which has won three in a row after dropping its previous three. "I felt like I had a pretty good knuckleball today," said Dickey. "I was getting a lot of swings and misses." The Jays brought 11 batters to the plate in the opening frame and put six runs across, giving Dickey an early cushion. Pablo Sandovals throwing error allowed leadoff hitter Melky Cabrera to reach base. Jose Bautista then drew a walk and Edwin Encarnacion and Mark DeRosa followed with RBI singles. Two batters later Colby Rasmus delivered an RBI hit to right and following a Henry Blanco strikeout, Emilio Bonifacio and Cabrera plated runs with sharp liners that fell in front of the Giants outfielders. Toronto did not have an extra base hit in the frame. Cabrera paced the Jays 18-hit attack with a 4-for-5 effort which included two RBI and two runns scored against his former club.dddddddddddd Encarnacion also drove in two and scored twice, while Brett Lawrie had a season-high three hits. "We got some big hits the other way," said Jays manager John Gibbons. "We were staying on the ball and thats what good hitters do." Barry Zito (3-2), who had allowed more than one earned run just once all season, was tagged for eight runs -- five earned -- on a season-high 12 hits in 5 2/3 innings. "They hit a fair amount of my pitches tonight," admitted Zito. Ryan Vogelsongs spot in the San Francisco Giants rotation could be in jeopardy as he goes for his first win in six starts tonight. Vogelsong has been awful for the Giants this season, posting a 1-3 mark to go along with a 7.78 ERA. Vogelsong had another poor showing on Thursday against Atlanta, which battered him for six runs in just 4 1/3 innings. "Im not making pitches when I need to. Thats all it comes down to," Vogelsong said. "... It just seems like lately when things start going bad, they hit the bad ones and the good ones and they find somewhere to go." Vogelsong, who was an All-Star in 2011 and Team USAs No. 2 starter at this past years World Baseball Classic, has allowed 13 runs in his last two starts spanning nine innings and has allowed more than three runs in six of his seven starts this season. In fact, Vogelsong has given up 34 earned runs in 39 1/3 innings this season. "I just need to fight through it, dude. Its a tough game sometimes and itll beat you down," Vogelsong said. "Ive been here before and came out the other side and Ill come out again. ... I came through it after 13 years, I came through it after August of 2011, I came through it after August and September of 2012 and Ill come through it again this year." ' ' '
