SAN DIEGO -- A pair of Padres hit their 10th career home runs Wednesday night at Petco Park, with pitcher Travis Wood and left fielder Jose Pirela providing power and excitement in San Diego's 4-0, series-clinching victory against the Giants.
Wood's shot to left in the third inning was the Padres' first hit off Giants starter Ty Blach and second home run by a San Diego starter in four days. The Padres' pitching staff entered Wednesday leading the National League in slugging percentage and OPS, stats that were boosted as San Diego won its fifth straight series against the Giants.
