MLB: San Francisco 9, San Diego 4

It was Uribe's eighth career two-homer game. Pablo Sandoval and Bengie Molina each had two hits and an RBI for the Giants, who remained two games back of Colorado in the NL wild-card race.

Brad Penny (2-0) made his second start for San Francisco since the Giants signed him last week. He held the Padres to two runs on three hits and a walk in seven innings.

Adrian Gonzalez and Nick Hundley homered for San Diego, which had won seven of nine coming into the game.

Clayton Richard (4-2) gave up six runs in four innings to take the loss.
