For the Reds, it was their fourth straight loss and sixth in their last seven games. Left-hander Brandon Finnegan was solid, allowing three earned runs and five hits over 6 2/3 innings with three walks and eight strikeouts.
The Padres took a 1-0 first-inning lead when Travis Jankowski started the game with a double to left field and scored on Matt Kemp's RBI groundout to third base with one out. It appeared third baseman Eugenio Suarez may have had a play at the plate, but he threw to first base to retire Kemp instead.
