Padres' Power Spoils Rockies Rookie's Debut  

Posted May 11, 08 10:01 PM CDT in Sports    Most Covered

(newser) – Scott Hairston and Khalil Greene homered to spoil Greg Reynolds' first start, leading San Diego to a 6-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday and their first series win in nearly a month. After winning for just the sixth time in 24 games, the Padres (14-24) continue to have the worst record in the majors.

Reynolds (0-1) and Chris Young (3-3) had been locked in a scoreless duel until Hairston hit Reynolds' first pitch of the sixth inning just a few feet inside the foul pole in the left-field corner at Petco Park. It was Hairston's fifth. Reynolds, the second pick overall in the 2006 draft, allowed four runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings.
