SAN DIEGO
Wil Myers hit a three-run homer off rookie Albert Suarez in the first inning and the San Diego Padres beat San Francisco 7-2 on Friday night, their seventh victory in eight games against the struggling Giants since the All-Star break.
The Giants dropped into the second wild card position, a game behind the New York Mets. San Francisco came into the night six games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.
Edwin Jackson (5-6) won for just the second time in seven starts, holding the Giants to two runs and four hits in six innings.
