The Giants capitalized on Padres' errors to score three unearned runs and snap a five-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory. The score was 1-1 in the seventh inning when the Giants loaded the bases on an error, hit batsman and walk. Rob Andrews then laced a single up the middle to drive in two runs that produced the triumph. [The Sporting News]
