Brewers 5, Padres 2
SAN DIEGO — Yovani Gallardo struck out nine to win his third straight start and Mark Kotsay had three hits and two RBIs as the Brewers, the NL's worst road team, won at Padres. Even with the win, the Brewers are only 8-16 on the road. The Padres dropped to 7-15 at Petco Park, the NL's worst home mark. Kotsay, who was with the Padres from 2001-03, had an RBI single in the fourth and an RBI double in the sixth. Corey Hart also had three hits. Although Ryan Ludwick hit a two-run homer in the fourth, the Padres settled back into their low-scoring ways at Petco Park. This was their first game back after scoring at least six runs six times while going 4-4 on a trip through Milwaukee, Colorado and Arizona.
