SAN DIEGO -- Jedd Gyorko contributed to the Padres' 11-6 victory over the Reds on Tuesday night with four RBIs, setting San Diego up for a chance at its third sweep of the season.
The second baseman hit a two-run single to center field in the first inning, opening the scoring in what would become an offensive frenzy for the Padres.
In the second, Gyorko caused more damage, hitting a two-run homer to left field on a 2-0 pitch to give the Padres an 8-0 lead.
Interim manager Pat Murphy said Gyorko had been a bit unlucky lately, swinging the bat well but hitting the ball hard to center field for some tough outs.
