George Hendrick hit two homers and drove in four runs in support of Bob Owchinko, who pitched the Padres to a 9-2 victory over the Giants. The complete game was Owchinko's third of the season, while the rest of the Padres' staff had a total of only two among them. Hendrick hit his first homer in the second inning and then connected for the second time with two aboard in the third. [The Sporting News]
