Norris' HR in 4-run 6th helps Padres top Reds

Padres starter Christian Friedrich exited with 101 pitches after five innings, four runs and six hits allowed, but he earned the victory. The bullpen provided four scoreless innings with seven strikeouts. Closer Fernando Rodney pitched around a walk in the ninth for his 16th save.

San Diego added another run in the ninth against Ross Ohlendorf on Travis Jankowski's two-out RBI single that scored Adam Rosales.
