San Diego 9; San Francisco 4

SAN FRANCISCO, April 9 (UPI) -- Jake Peavy pitched six solid innings Tuesday night and rookie Xavier Nady had three hits and scored twice as San Diego topped San Francisco, 9-4.

The Padres snapped the Giants' seven-game winning streak.

Two away from tying the modern franchise record for most wins at the start of a season, the Giants rallied in the second inning, but only could came away with one run.

The game was knotted after six innings, but Rondell White belted his first home run as a member of the Padres in the seventh, and two batters later, Gary Bennett stroked an RBI double to open a 5-3 lead.

The Padres broke the game open in the ninth with four runs, securing the win for Peavy (2-0).

After going 0-3 during the spring, Peavy snapped San Diego's three-game losing skid with a five-inning, 11-strikeout performance in a 6-1 win over Los Angeles last Thursday. On Tuesday, the righthander yielded three runs and nine hits in six innings to help halt the Padres' two-game slide.

Nady singled twice and doubled, and Ramon Vazquez added two hits and two RBI for the Padres, who ended a four-game losing streak against San Francisco.

Scott Eyre (0-1) took the loss, surrendering two runs and three hits in the seventh inning.

San Francisco's Jose Cruz Jr. belted his major league-leading fifth home run with two outs in the ninth inning.
