CINCINNATI -- Jose Pirela had four hits, and Yangervis Solarte had a homer among his three hits on Tuesday night, powering the San Diego Padres to a 7-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Luis Perdomo (6-6) escaped threats by inducing three ground-ball double plays -- his specialty -- while pitching into the seventh. Tucker Barnhart hit a three-run homer off Jose Torres.
The Padres improved to 4-1 against the Reds, who haven't won a season series from them since 2012. The Reds have gone 7-18 since the All-Star break.
