Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- Carlos Beltran cracked a pair of solo home runs Wednesday and the San Francisco Giants completed a three-game sweep with a 3-1 win over San Diego.
Beltran's first homer, a solo shot in the first inning, tied the score at 1-1 and his bases-empty clout in the sixth gave San Francisco a 2-1 advantage.
Tim Lincecum (13-12) broke a personal three-game winless streak, handcuffing the Padres on one unearned run. The right-hander surrendered four hits, walked two and struck out six.
Sergio Romo set down three straight in the eighth and Santiago Casilla wrapped up the victory with his third save.
Mat Latos (7-14) took the loss despite fanning eight Giants over seven innings, yielding three runs on seven hits and issuing one walk.
Jesus Guzman got San Diego's only RBI.
