Jankowski halts slump with pair of firsts

SAN DIEGO -- After going 0-for-15 on the road trip, rookie outfielder Travis Jankowski recorded his first stolen base in the third inning and later scored to give the Padres their first run in a 7-0 victory over the Rangers on Monday night at Petco Park.

But that was not the only career first Jankowski would achieve. In the eighth, he recorded his first extra-base hit with a triple down the right-field line.

"I think the stolen base and extra-base hit will be fresh in my mind for a while," said Jankowski, who went 2-for-4 and scored two runs.
