Rupp's 12th-inning homer gives Phillies 4-3 win over Padres

SAN DIEGO — Cameron Rupp hit Philadelphia's fourth home run of the game, a leadoff shot in the 12th inning that lifted the Phillies to a 4-3 victory against the skidding San Diego Padres on Friday night.

Rupp drove a 90 mph fastball from Kevin Quackenbush (1-2) an estimated 416 feet to straightaway center field. It was his third of the season.

Domonic Brown, Ryan Howard and Cody Asche hit long home runs off Padres starter James Shields.

Hector Neris (2-0) pitched the 11th for the win. Ken Giles worked the 12th for his fourth save, allowing two broken-bat singles before striking out Jedd Gyorko to end it.
