Phoenix, AZ - The Padres get to Dan Haren early for 4 runs in their victory to take game 2 of 3 in Arizona.

The Padres were able to put enough runs on the board last night ,winning 7-4 over the Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Adrian Gonzalez carries the load for the Padres with a 3-run home run in the 3rd inning to get the Padres on board early. Chris Young pitched well through the 6th inning, but was roughed up by the Diamondbacks in the 7th. Justin Upton started the rally for Arizona in the 7th with a first pitch solo shot to left field, followed by an RBI triple by Kelly Johnson to tied the game at 4.

In the 8th inning, Padres caught a break when a dropped 3rd strike by Everth Cabrera at home plate. Miguel Montero air mailed the throw to 1B and went to right field corner, that scores Will Venable for the go ahead run. Everth Cabrera uses his speed and ran all the way from 1st base to 3rd. Following the error, Padres pinch hitter Scott Hairston picked up the insurance run in the 8th inning. Heath Bell shuts the door for Arizona as he earned his first save of the season.

Chris Young earned his first win of the season, allowing 4 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 3 over 7 innings.

In the series finale tonight at Chase Field, the Padres send Kevin Correia to the mound while Edwin Jackson gets the call for the Diamondbacks.
