PITTSBURGH, Sept. 21 (UPI) -- Chase Headley was 5-for-6 and drove in the go-ahead run during a five-run 11th inning Monday in the San Diego Padres' 11-6 victory over Pittsburgh.

Headley hit a home run and had two RBI for the Padres. Adrian Gonzalez and Nick Hundley hit two-run homers, while Hundley and Oscar Salazar had three RBI apiece for San Diego.

Sean Gallagher (3-2) pitched a scoreless 10th inning to earn the win.

Andrew McCutchen and Ronny Cedeno each drove in two runs for the Pirates.

With runners on first and second and one out in the 11th, Headley hit a double off the right-field wall to score Everth Cabrera. Will Venable was walked before Salazar's double to left scored two more runs.
