Padres 8, Astros 6
HOUSTON — Will Venable hit a two-run single in a four-run eighth as the Padres rallied. Venable made closer Heath Bell's job tougher in the ninth when he misplayed a flyball for an error, helping the Astros load the bases before Bell wriggled out of it with a strikeout and groundout. "All is well that ends well," Venable said.
