Sacramento, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Rudy Gay posted a game and season-best 40 points along with eight rebounds as Sacramento picked up its first win of the year with a 103-94 triumph over Portland on Friday night. DeMarcus Cousins and Darren Collison each contributed 17 points for the Kings, who shook off a season-opening 18-point loss to Golden State on Wednesday. I just wanted to be aggressive, said Gay. I tried to make plays better and took what they gave me. LaMarcus Aldridge totaled 22 points and Damian Lillard poured in 20 for the Blazers, who were coming off a 17-point home win against Oklahoma City two days prior. We knew they were a really good second-chance team and they did that all night, Lillard said. They just outplayed us. Wesley Matthews hit from long distance and Portland was up 77-73 early in the fourth, but Omri Casspis layup just over three minutes in triggered a momentum-turning 13-0 run which gave the Kings the lead for good. Gay followed with five in a row including a trey, Cousins added a bucket, Collison made two from the charity stripe and Cousins ended the burst with two more from the line to make it 86-77. Gay later connected on both his free-throw attempts with 2:39 to play and Sacramento was up 92-81. Portland was unable to close the gap to less than six the rest of the way. Aldridge scored 11 first-quarter points but the Blazers trailed 26-24 after 12 minutes of action. Things were tight again in the second period, which ended in a 48-48 deadlock thanks to a pair of Chris Kaman shots sandwiched around a Collison jumper. The Kings lead swelled to 62-52 with four minutes elapsed in the third thanks to seven points from Gay, and it was 69-58 for the hosts with 4:18 left after a Gay three-pointer, but the Blazers battled back to knot the score heading to the fourth, 71-71, thanks to six points from Aldridge. Game Notes Gay shot 13-of-19 from the floor including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc, and made 11 of his 13 free throws ... Matthews ended up with 16 points for Portland ...

MILWAUKEE -- Matt Garza knows all about the trade speculation. It certainly didnt distract him Thursday against the Brewers. The right-hander struck out 10 in seven solid innings and Dioner Navarro hit a three-run homer, sending the Chicago Cubs to a 7-2 victory over Milwaukee. Garza can become a free agent after the season and is expected to be one of the top pitchers available on the trade market as the July 31 non-waiver deadline approaches. "Somebody asked me today, Well, do you sit by your phone?" Garza said. "I said, No. No phone calls. No worries, guys. Im not too worried about it, just going to keep plugging away every five days." Garza (3-1) had his third consecutive strong outing. He allowed one run on eight hits and a walk while throwing 101 pitches. He spent the first seven weeks of the season on the disabled list with a left lat strain sustained in spring training. Garza was making his eighth start since returning on May 21, and has given up only two earned runs over 22 innings in his last three outings. "I like where Im at, and Im just going to try to keep improving," he said. The Cubs broke the game open with four runs in the third, capped by Navarros seventh homer. Milwaukee made a pair of errors and all the runs in the inning off Wily Peralta (5-9) were unearned. "Every opportunity I get Im going to try to do the best I can," said Navarro, who has 89 at-bats this year. "I obviously dont try to hit a homer every time I go to the plate, but I try to get good swings. I feel that I hit the ball pretty good the four times today. I was fortunate enough to get one." Peralta gave up seven runs, three earned, on eight hits and a walk while striking out two in five innings. He allowed the leadoff batter to reach base on singles in each of the first four innings, and three of those runners scored. "We played really poorly behind him," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "He didnt make pitches. He didnt pitch as well as he did last time but I was glad he came out and at least kept us in the ballgame and was able to give us five innings." Milwauukees Juan Francisco homered for the third consecutive game, his ninth this year, but committed a costly error in the third that led to three unearned runs.dddddddddddd For the second consecutive game, the Cubs took advantage of Milwaukee errors and fielding miscues. Ryan Sweeney singled leading off the second inning, stole second and moved to third on a wild pitch. Brian Bogusevic, starting in left field for the second straight game in place of Alfonso Soriano, doubled down the left-field line to score Sweeney and make it 1-0. One out later, Darwin Barneys liner went off Peraltas glove for a single that scored Bogusevic. Starlin Castro led off the third with a single and stole second. One out later, Sweeneys liner to left went off the glove of Caleb Gindl for a two-base error, making it 3-0. Anthony Rizzo struck out for the second out. Bogusevic then hit a hard grounder to third, and Aramis Ramirezs throw to first was in time but went off Franciscos glove for the second error of the inning. Navarro followed by hitting the first pitch from Peralta down the right-field line for a three-run homer to make it 6-0. "Nobody wants to make errors, but its going to happen," Peralta said. "I still have to execute, make pitches and pick up my team, but I wasnt able to do that." An error by second baseman Rickie Weeks in the fourth inning Wednesday night allowed two unearned runs to score in a 5-4 Cubs win over the Brewers.
