PHOENIX — Will Venable homered and then singled in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, and the San Diego Padres bullpen made the lead last for three innings in a 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night.
Venable's hit in the seventh off reliever Enrique Burgos (0-1) drove in Justin Upton from second base.
The teams combined for six home runs, four by the Diamondbacks, who rallied from a three-run deficit to tie the score at 5 after back-to-back home runs by Paul Goldschmidt and David Peralta.
Wil Myers had a career-high four hits for the Padres, including a home run in the fifth.
