Luke Brattan and Tommy Oar are among seven new faces in an extended 30-man squad named by Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou for next months World Cup qualifier against Thailand.All 23 players who were part of the squad that drew with Saudi Arabia and Japan have been recalled, along with Brattan, Oar, Josh Risdon, Jason Geria and overseas-based trio Nathan Burns, Milos Degenek and Aziz Behich.Postecoglou will trim the squad back to 23 after watching this weekends matches, effectively challenging the seven new faces to show why they deserve to survive the cut.We have players who are in the squad or on the fringe, including those playing in the A-League, that are just starting their seasons and with the tight turnaround from Japan to Thailand I wanted to have another look at them after they have showed good signs in the opening rounds, Postecoglou said.It is yet another good sign of the depth we are creating and when we announce the team after this weekend there will be players who miss out that are playing well enough to be part of the squad.Brattan, who was part of a Socceroos camp last year but failed to win a cap, has made a strong start to the A-League season with new club Melbourne City while Brisbane Roar winger Oar has not made a national team appearance for nearly 12 months.The duo are among five A-League players in the squad, along with Perth Glorys Josh Risdon, Melbourne Victorys Jason Geria and Citys marquee star Tim Cahill.Risdon, Geria and Degenek all play at right-back, which has recently emerged as a problem position for Australia.The inclusion of Burns, who was left out of the last Socceroos squad, comes as no surprise after Postecoglou name checked him earlier this month as one of few players capable of challenging Mathew Leckie and Robbie Kruse for a wing spot.Left-sided defender Behich, meanwhile, is in line for his first Socceroos involvement since last years 2-1 win in Kyrgystan.The Socceroos are second in Group B and cannot afford to slip up against a winless Thailand, whose chances of World Cup qualification for Russia 2018 appear shot.The clash in Bangkok will proceed as planned despite the recent death of Thailands king, although supporters have been asked to treat the match as a solemn occasion.We will be in Bangkok for a longer than usual period as we only have one match in this window so we will have a good lead in to ensure we are well prepared, Postecoglou said.Australia: Aziz Behich, Luke Brattan, Nathan Burns, Tim Cahill, Milos Degenek, Adam Federici, Jason Geria, Alex Gersbach, Apostolos Giannou, Craig Goodwin, Chris Ikonomidis, Jackson Irvine, Mile Jedinak, James Jeggo, Tomi Juric, Robbie Kruse, Mitchell Langerak, Mathew Leckie, Massimo Luongo, Ryan McGowan, Mark Milligan, Aaron Mooy, Tommy Oar, Josh Risdon, Tommy Rogic, Mathew Ryan, Trent Sainsbury, Brad Smith, Matthew Spiranovic, Bailey Wright.Aleksander Barkov Panthers Jersey .

Tyson Ross had a reason to celebrate, too, after he earned a victory for the first time in more than a year. Nick Hundley and Will Venable homered, and Ross pitched the Padres to a 6-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night. Hundley was 3 for 4 with three runs batted in for San Diego, which won back-to-back games for the first time since June 20-21. "Theres no doubt there was a struggle," San Diego manager Bud Black said. "We didnt hit and we didnt pitch. Now youre seeing better offensive outputs. Youre seeing two good starts from our (pitchers) the last two nights, and thats what it takes. "Its no secret. Its good to see guys performing like theyre capable of." Ross (1-4), recalled from Triple-A Tucson earlier Tuesday, earned his first win since May 14, 2012. The right-hander, who had lost 12 straight decisions -- including seven as a starter -- gave up just two hits and one run. He struck out six and walked two in a season-high six innings in his first start since April 17. "I think I was just kind of grinding through it," said Ross, who retired the final nine batters he faced. "I just kept my head up, kept battling trying to get better every time out. It was nice to get that first win in a while." Milwaukee starter Donovan Hand (0-2) lasted four innings before he left with a bruised right hand after being hit by a pitch. X-rays of his pitching hand were negative, and Hand is listed as day-to-day. He allowed two earned runs and seven hits to go with one strikeout and a walk. "I went back out for the fourth and everything was still good; a little swelling on the pinky side, but nothing major," Hand said. "Then after the fourth, I just really couldnt grip the ball anymore." Just before the first pitch, the Brewers announced they traded right-handed reliever Francisco Rodriguez to Baltimore for minor league third baseman Nick Delmonico. Rodriguez is 21st on the career saves list with 304. On Monday, the Brewers lost 2011 NL MVP Ryan Braun for the rest of the season after he was suspended for violating the Major League Baseball drug program. "We havent really hammered the ball for a while," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "Some of it is personnel, but I still exxpect a lot of these guys to have better at-bats.dddddddddddd. I think theyre disappointed in the way theyre swinging the bat, and thats a good thing. "I still expect the guys that we have out there to produce, to scrap and battle and see if we can get some runs across." Mark Kotsay, who halted an 0-for-25 slump with a single in the second, led off the sixth with a single. Hundley followed with his seventh homer of the season for a 4-1 lead. Kotsay also singled home a run in the seventh to finish 3 for 4. Hundley added a run-scoring single to make it 6-1 later in the inning. Venable, Kotsay and Hundley, San Diegos Nos. 6-8 hitters, were a combined 9 for 13 with five RBIs and four runs. "I know they say hitting is contagious or whatever, but its just the ability to string together good at-bats," said Venable, who shares the team lead of 12 homers with Carlos Quentin. "Obviously you set out to do that every night. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesnt." Milwaukees Khris Davis, called up from Triple-A Nashville on Monday to replace Braun, hit a solo shot in the eighth against Colt Hynes for his first major league homer. San Diego took a 1-0 lead in the first on a single by Yonder Alonso. Milwaukee got the run back in the third when Jeff Bianchi scored from third after an errant pickoff attempt to first by Ross. Venables solo homer gave the Padres a 2-1 lead in the fourth. NOTES: To make room on the roster for Ross, right-hander Miles Mikolas was optioned to Triple-A Tucson. ... Rodriguez, 31, was 1-1 with a 1.09 ERA in 25 games with Milwaukee this season and was 10 for 10 in save opportunities. Alfredo Figaro will rejoin the team Wednesday to take his roster spot. The right-hander had been on the disabled list with an oblique strain. Delmonico, 21, played for Class-A Frederick this season and had a team-high 13 home runs to go with a .244 batting average. ... Padres pitcher Jason Marquis sustained a complete tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and will soon undergo Tommy John surgery. "As of right now, he plans on pitching again. Hes going to give it a go, hes going to rehab and I think he wants to come back and compete," Black said. The 34-year-old Marquis (9-5, 4.05) had lost three straight decisions over six starts. He went on the disabled list Sunday. ' ' '
