San Diego welcomes positive signs to open 2nd half

ARLINGTON -- Yangervis Solarte hit a two-run home run with two outs in the top of the ninth inning that sent the Padres to a 6-5 victory over the Rangers on Saturday night. The home run came off Rangers closer Shawn Tolleson, who suffered his first blown save of the season.

"What they did in the ninth, really important," Padres interim manager Pat Murphy said. "There's days you feel like you'll never win another game and nothing goes your way, every lineout, every call. You start being a victim. They owned that ninth inning, and that's what it's about -- taking ownership in your performance.
