AMES, Iowa -- For once, there wasnt a quarterback controversy for Iowa State.The Cyclones excelled behind both Joel Lanning and Jacob Park, who helped deliver first-year coach Matt Campbells first win.Park threw for 165 yards and three touchdowns and Iowa State thumped San Jose State 44-10 on Saturday.Mike Warren rushed for a season-high 103 yards for Iowa State (1-3), which finally had some success rotating Lanning, the starter, and Park.Lanning was 5 of 8 passing for 136 yards and two TDs. The pair rotated on what appeared to be a pre-planned schedule -- and the Spartans couldnt stop either one of them.You can call it a rotation or us competing or whatever you want. But we dont see it as that. Were just taking our opportunities that we get and try to execute, Lanning said. We just kind of fed off each other.The Cyclones needed just 7:51 and 24 plays to put up 23 points -- a season high for a game -- in the first half. Lannings 49-yard TD pass to Deshaunte Jones made it 30-3 early in the second half.It was efficient. Thats the thing we have to be to have success, Campbell said of the offense, which finished with 503 yards.San Jose State freshman Josh Love threw for 155 yards, but he was also picked off four times. The Spartans (1-3) sorely missed starter Kenny Potter, who was out with a right leg injury.THE TAKEAWAYIowa State: Campbell has preached about the process it takes to be successful from the day he arrived in Ames. The Cyclones finally got to see what he meant on Saturday. Despite some struggles containing the run, Iowa State was the better team on both sides of the ball. For a program that dropped its previous two games by a combined 60 points, thats progress. It wasnt perfect. But I think you saw improvement, Campbell said.San Jose State: Love might be good someday for the Spartans. But his interception total didnt include a handful of picks that Iowa State just missed out on. San Jose State desperately needs a healthy Potter if it hopes to push for a bowl bid.PARK VS. LANNINGThough Lanning has been the starter since the middle of last season, Park has impressed the coaching staff enough to earn snaps. Park, a sophomore, played like a senior against the Spartans. Parks pocket presence and awareness was fantastic, as was his touch on both short and deep balls. Park got himself in trouble on a few quick tosses that San Jose States cornerbacks nearly picked off, but overall he looked like a Big 12 quarterback.NOTABLESSan Jose State has lost 12 straight regular season games against non-conference FBS opponents.

PITTSBURGH -- Anibal Sanchez spent six innings toying with the Pittsburgh Pirates, his electric stuff rendering the Pirates innocent bystanders. When the Detroit starter finally wobbled, Pittsburgh wasted little time knocking him over. Pedro Alvarezs two-run double sparked a seventh-inning rally and the Pirates streaked by the Tigers 5-3 on Wednesday night. Travis Snider added an RBI double and Jordy Mercer laid down a perfect suicide squeeze to cap the four-run burst and abruptly end Sanchezs evening. "I dont think as a team we ever check out in the seventh inning," Snider said. "Weve had a lot of late comebacks weve had a lot of great rallies off bullpens and starters late in the game." The victory was Pittsburghs eighth of the year when it trailed after six innings and pushed the Pirates to a season-high 13 games over .500 (33-20). Bryan Morris (2-2) picked up the win in relief of A.J. Burnett. Jason Grilli pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 22nd save. Miguel Cabrera hit his 15th home run for Detroit. He flied out to the wall in right field with a runner on to end it. Neil Walker -- whose solo home run in the 11th inning produced the only run in a 1-0 Pittsburgh victory in Detroit on Tuesday night -- provided the only two hits through off six innings off Sanchez. The righthander looked nearly as dominant as he did in his previous start, when he one-hit the Minnesota Twins. Sanchez retired 16 of 17 batters at one point and appeared to have all the cushion he needed when Andy Dirks doubled home Don Kelly with one out in the fifth and Cabrera followed two batters later by poking a 92 mph fastball from A.J. Burnett into the seats in right field for his 15th home run, giving the Tigers a 3-1 lead. Watching Sanchez buzz through the first six innings on just 67 pitches, Detroit manager Jim Leyland didnt even have anyone up in the bullpen when things quickly unraveled. Garrett Jones singled with one out in the seventh, Russell Martin walked on four pitches and the floodgates opened. "It was kind of a freaky thing," Leyland said. "He just walked a guy and all of a sudden kind of lost it there momentarily." Alvarez followed by driving a ball to the wall in left-centre, scoring both runners. Snider took the next pitch and hit it off the wall in right with Alvarez just beating the relay throw to put Pittsburgh in front. "We knew as hitters we had to grind," Snider said. "If hes going to make a mistake, its going to be early. Pedro did a greeat job jumping on him early, so did Jones.dddddddddddd. Russell the same thing, getting on base. Before they were able to get anything going in their bullpen we were able to get to him in that inning." Snider moved to third on a wild pitch, then darted home when Mercers bunt stopped just in front of the pitchers mound. Its one of the few times the squeeze has worked for the Pirates under manager Clint Hurdle. "It was kind of surprising," Mercer said. "In those situations all you want to do is put it in fair territory somewhere. I was able to deaden it. It actually worked out really well for both sides." Sanchez allowed five runs on seven hits in 6 2-3 innings, walking one and striking out nine while his ERA rose from 2.38 to 2.79. "I think I missed some pitches and they hit them," Sanchez said. "I take responsibility, thats part of the game. Before that inning I thought everything was working good, especially location." Pittsburghs late surge allowed Burnett to escape his fourth straight loss. The Pirates have struggled to support their ace this season and had scored just five runs total in his previous five starts. The right-hander had issues with his command but managed to stay out of trouble until the fifth, when Kellys leadoff walk started a three-run burst. Burnett gave up three runs on five hits, walking four and striking out four. Burnett was long gone by the time Alvarez got things going. Tony Watson worked the eighth and Grilli -- who struck out the Tigers in order in the 11th on Tuesday -- stayed perfect in 22 save chances when Cabrera flied out.
