MILWAUKEE, May 21 (UPI) -- Jenkins hit three homers in a game for the second time in his career Wednesday and Wayne Franklin pitched a two-hitter to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 10-0 win over the San Diego Padres.
Jenkins belted a two-run homer in the first and solo homers in the fourth and sixth off Jake Peavy (4-4). Jenkins had two chances at another homer, but grounded out against Luther Hackman in the seventh and struck out against Mike Matthews in the eighth.
The other three-homer game for Jenkins came April 28, 2001 against Montreal. He became the second Brewer in less than a month to accomplish the feat. Richie Sexson connected three times against Atlanta on April 25.
Sexson added a three-run homer in the eighth off Hackman to cap a five-run inning and help Milwaukee to its first three-game winning streak of the season.
Franklin (3-4) was in complete control in his first shutout and complete game of his career. The only hits he allowed were singles to Rondell White in the first and Ramon Vazquez in the ninth. Franklin walked two and struck out five.
The Padres only had one inning -– the sixth -– in which they had a runner as far as second base.
Peavy (4-4) allowed four runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Milwaukee swept its first three-game series since taking three straight from the Cincinnati Reds last Aug. 30-Sept. 1.
