SAN DIEGO, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- Brett Pill made his major league debut Tuesday with a two-run homer that helped lead the San Francisco Giants past San Diego 6-4.
Pill cleared the leftfield fence in his first at-bat at Petco Park to give the Giants a 2-0 lead and help move San Francisco to six games behind first-place Arizona in the National League West.
Carlos Beltran went 3-for-4 with three RBI for the Giants.
Eric Surkamp (1-0) prevailed in his second major league start, holding San Diego to three runs on five hits in five innings. Ramon Ramirez notched his fourth save.
Wade LeBlanc (2-5) took the loss. He allowed four runs on eight hits over five innings.
Nick Hundley homered off Surkamp in the second inning for the spiraling Padres, who have dropped 11 of their last 12 games.
