--RHP Heath Bell picked up his fourth save in as many opportunities with a perfect ninth against his old team. Bell has worked 3 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and two walks against three strikeouts.
--LF Chase Headley hit fifth for the second straight game (0-for-3 with two walks) behind 1B Adrian Gonzalez with Kevin Kouzmanoff again hitting sixth. The move was made after Kouzzmanoff was 1-for-7 in his first five starts in situations with runners in scoring position.
--RHP Walter Silva entered the fifth inning holding a 5-1 lead and was one out from his first major league win with only a runner on first. But a walk, a run-scoring single and a three-run homer by David Wright knocked him out of the game with the score tied 5-5.
--2B David Eckstein was 3-for-5 with two doubles and is 7-for-19 in the last five games with four doubles and three RBI -- after a 1-for-9 start to the season.
--CFs Jody Gerut (3-for-8, two walks, a homer and three runs scored) and Scott Hairston (4-for-8, a walk, a three-run homer, three runs scored and a stolen base) have gone 7-for-16 with two homers, four RBI, six runs scored and three walks for a .526 on-base percentage over the Padres' last four games.
