San Diego – Chris Young pitched one-hit ball for seven innings, and Khalil Greene homered twice off Tim Wakefield and Josh Bard hit a contested homer to lead the San Diego Padres to a 6-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday night.
The Padres snapped a three-game losing streak and leapfrogged the Los Angeles Dodgers back into first place in the tight NL West.
Young and relievers Heath Bell and Justin Hampson combined on a four-hitter, and Boston’s three-game winning streak ended.
Young (7-3) pitched brilliantly, lowering his home ERA to 0.94, the best in the majors, and struck out 11 to miss his career high by one. He dropped his overall ERA to 2.08.
