Giants avoid no-hitter but get swept by Padres

San Francisco starter Johnny Cueto threw just five innings for the second time this season and allowed four runs, including two solo homers in the bottom of the fourth from Matt Kemp and Christian Bethancourt.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
The 'pen? No problem: The late-game trio of Brad Hand, Ryan Buchter and Brandon Maurer entered Sunday's game with a combined ERA of 1.96 dating back to June 16. They continued that success Sunday after combining for 2 2/3 innings of shutout work to stave off the Giants and ensure the win for Jackson and the Padres.
