SAN FRANCISCO, May 12 (UPI) -- David Eckstein drove in a pair of runs Tuesday in the San Diego Padres' 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants.

Yorvit Torrealba drove in the other run for the Padres, who beat San Francisco for the fourth time in four games this season and remained atop the National League West standings.

Ryan Webb (1-1) got the win in relief of Wade LeBlanc with 1 1/3 scoreless innings. Heath Bell earned his ninth save.

Barry Zito (5-1) lost for the first time this season. Zito lasted five innings, giving up three runs on six hits and walking a career-high seven batters.

The Padres scored twice in the second inning on Eckstein's two-run single.

San Francisco made it 2-1 in the third on a triple by Pablo Sandoval and Aubrey Huff's RBI single.

Torrealba drove in Kyle Blanks with a base hit in the fifth to make it 3-1.

Juan Uribe drove in Huff in the bottom of the fifth with an RBI triple, but the San Diego bullpen kept the Giants off the scoreboard the rest of the way.

The two teams left a combined 26 runners on base in the game that took 3 hours, 25 minutes to complete.
