SAN DIEGO -- Wil Myers hit a two-run home run and 28-year-old rookie Ryan Schimpf hit his first career shot for the San Diego Padres, who held off the New York Yankees 7-6 Friday night.
Colin Rea (5-3) pitched six strong innings for the Padres, who snapped a three-game losing streak and handed the Yankees their fourth loss in six games. The righty held the Yankees to two runs, one earned, and four hits while striking out five and walking one.
The Padres, who traded closer Fernando Rodney to Miami on Thursday, then gave up four runs in the ninth.
