--1B Adrian Gonzalez hit his sixth homer of the season Friday night, and his third in five games. Gonzalez was 2-for-4 to raise his batting average to .310. Gonzalez has hit safely in six straight games (9-for-23) and 14 of the last 15. He has also reached base in every game. Which is why the Padres breathed a sigh of relief Friday night after Gonzalez took off his glove and inspected his right thumb after a line drive came awkwardly off his glove. Padres trainer Todd Hutcheson rushed onto the field to inspect Gonzalez's hand. Nothing was broken.

--RHP Kevin Correia has allowed only 13 hits in 16 innings over three starts. But four walks Friday night raised his total of free passes to 10. Eight of those walks have figured in seven of the eight runs charged to Correia.

--2B David Eckstein drove home the Padres' first run Friday night with his first triple since April 13, 2006, and the 19th of his career. Eckstein is riding a seven-game hitting streak (10-for-24).
