Victory long time coming for right-hander Morrow

SAN DIEGO -- Brandon Morrow turned in another solid effort for the Padres on Sunday, earning his first win in over a year as San Diego defeated the Dodgers, 3-1, in the series finale.

In helping the Padres avoid a sweep, Morrow pitched seven innings while allowing one run, a solo homer by Alex Guerrero in the fifth, and notched his first victory since April 9, 2014 against Houston while with the Blue Jays. Having missed most of last season due to injury, and also battling injuries a year earlier, Morrow's stretch of four consecutive starts of more than six innings to start this season marks the first time he has accomplished that feat since 2012.
