SAN FRANCISCO -- Hector Sanchez is getting a lot more comfortable with his swing and his role on the Padres since coming off the disabled list almost two weeks ago.Hitting a home run against his former ballclub provided a lift, too.Sanchez homered and singled twice in his return to AT&T Park, and six San Diego pitchers combined on a five-hit shutout as the Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 4-0 Monday night.Its amazing to play in this ballpark, Sanchez said. Great fans, beautiful field. Sometimes in baseball you have to turn the page. I spent a lot of time with the Giants, had great memories. But when you come back here you have to turn the page and do the best you can do.Sanchez spent his first five seasons in San Francisco as a backup behind four-time All-Star catcher Buster Posey and had homered only twice previously at AT&T Park before hitting a 2-2 pitch from starter Jeff Samardzija (11-10) into the stands above the brick wall in right field with one out in the sixth.Its Sanchezs first three-hit game since May 17, 2014.That was crazy. I didnt expect the ball to go out, Sanchez said. I guess I put a good swing on it and lucky for me it went out.Yangervis Solarte drove in two runs and Luis Sardinas added two hits while helping the Padres to their fourth consecutive win over the Giants.It was a bitter loss for San Francisco, which dropped four games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West after trimming two games off the lead last weekend.With 19 games left, however, the Giants still lead the race for the leagues top wild card.We have not been consistent with our lineup, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. It sure looks bad to get shut out when you get back home the first day, but were staying behind these guys.Padres starter Paul Clemens (3-5) fought through flu symptoms earlier in the week and vomited between innings but still pitched five gritty innings to end San Franciscos three-game winning streak. The right-hander allowed three hits, walked one and struck out two.He actually held it together stuff-wise better today than he has in his previous couple of starts, San Diego manager Andy Green said. It was a cool night so Im sure that helped him, too. He was just very, very good under the circumstances.Solarte had an RBI single in the fourth and drove in another run in the fifth with a grounder.Hunter Pence had two hits for the Giants.SHARK BITTENSamardzija allowed four runs over six innings, struck out six and walked one. Not a terrible outing but one that quickly went south when Sanchez homered. It was only the second home run allowed by Samardzija in his last seven starts The two-run homer put a sour taste in my mouth with the way things were, Samardzija said. I left a splitter a little bit up in the zone and (Sanchez) was able to put a barrel on the ball.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: Green said RHP Tyson Ross (right shoulder inflammation) hasnt progressed as quickly as the team had hoped and isnt likely to pitch again this season.

Hours later, he made a big mistake of his own. But Brian Dozier and Kevin Correia bailed him out. Doziers third hit of the game scored Clete Thomas in the 13th inning to lift the Twins to a 4-3 victory over the Houston Astros on Friday night. Due to a substitution miscue by Gardenhire that caused the Twins to lose the designated hitter in the ninth inning, the manager had to go to Correia, a starting pitcher, to pinch-hit in the 13th inning. Correia, who spent 10 years hitting in the National League, bunted Thomas to second base and Dozier followed by punching a single to right field for his second RBI of the game to snap Minnesotas four-game losing streak. "I end up getting myself in a pickle there," said Gardenhire, who inserted Doug Bernier as a pinch-runner for DH Chris Colabello. Gardenhire said he shouldve used Jamey Carroll as a pinch runner and then inserted Bernier as a defensive replacement at shortstop in the 10th, which wouldve allowed him to keep the DH. "Im like, What the (heck) did I do that for? It became entertaining." As the game wore on and Gardenhire ran out of bench players to hit in the pitchers spot, more and more starters started offering their services. Mike Pelfrey, another NL vet with the Mets, was warming up in the on-deck circle before Gardenhire put Correia in to get the bunt down. "Its fun," Correia said. "We dont get that opportunity anymore at the plate being in the American League. Were normally sitting there just as spectators four days a week. So its fun to get in a game, especially if you can help your team get a win." The Twins trailed 3-2 entering the ninth after All-Star closer Glen Perkins gave up an RBI double to Matt Dominguez. But Doziers single off Chia-Jen Lo tied the game, and Dozier came through again off Dallas Keuchel (5-6) to win it with two outs in the 13th. Ryan Pressly (3-2) pitched two innings of relief for the win. "A much-needed win for the team," Dozier said. "A coonfidence booster.dddddddddddd" Jarred Cosart gave up one run on five hits and struck out four in seven innings, and Dominguez had two hits for the Astros (36-72), who have the worst record in the major leagues. It was a much needed pick-me-up for the Twins, who were reeling from a sweep at the hands of the Royals that was capped by a lacklustre performance on Thursday. Gardenhire had a long talk with his position players before a strenuous pregame workout to refocus on the fundamentals and try and grab the attention of a team that has long since faded from contention in the AL Central. Justin Morneau had two hits, including an RBI single in the eighth that tied the game at 2 for the Twins. Joe Mauer added a sacrifice fly, and Samuel Deduno gave up two runs on four hits with five strikeouts and five walks in six innings for the Twins, who were handcuffed by Cosart for seven innings. Cosart left with a 2-1 lead after seven innings, finally giving the Twins a chance. The Astros are the youngest team by far in the majors, and theyre the greenest in the bullpen. They traded closer Jose Veras to Detroit earlier this week. With no proven closer, Astros manager Bo Porter had to go to Lo, who was making his second career appearance, with a runner on second and one out in the ninth. Los wild pitch allowed pinch-runner Doug Bernier to go to third, and Doziers single landed in front of centre fielder Brandon Barnes to tie it. Porter turned to Keuchel, who was scheduled to start on Sunday, in the 12th. Jason Castro had two RBIs for Houston. "We had opportunities to close it out and just didnt get the job done," Porter said. NOTES: Houston 2B Jose Altuve was held out of the starting lineup for a second straight game to rest his sore left quad. Porter said he was available to hit. ... Dozier extended his hitting streak to a career-high nine games with a double in the eighth. ... The Twins announced that they will select the contract of LHP Andrew Albers from Triple-A Rochester on Saturday. He is scheduled to make his first big league start on Tuesday at Kansas City. ... The Twins send RHP Kyle Gibson (2-3 6.21) to the mound on Saturday against Houston LHP Erik Bedard (3-8, 4.28). ' ' '
