The San Diego Padres won their first game wednesday, beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4 in Chase Field. After starting pitcher Mat Latos gave up the lead in a four run sixth inning the Padres came back strong in the top of the seventh, scoring three runs against three relievers.

Edwin Jackson was the third starting pitcher for the D-Backs in a row that couldn't reach the sixth inning against a patient Padres club that's hitting .270 with an on base percentage of .375.

In the bottom of the ninth closer Heath Bell walked the first batter he saw. With two outs Stephen Drew reached the warning track and just missed sending the crowd home happy.

The Padres have a day off tomorrow and travel to Denver to take on the Rockies who are also 1-2 to start the season. The D-backs will take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in Phoenix.
