SAN FRANCISCO — The starting staff carried the Giants during an eight-game home winning streak, but Chris Heston couldn’t keep the run going on Wednesday.
Heston was knocked around by the Padres in a 9-1 loss that was the first at AT&T Park since April 19. The rookie was charged with five runs on 11 hits and very nearly was knocked out of the game in the third inning. He lasted five innings, but the Giants never seriously threatened on a sunny afternoon at AT&T Park.
The Padres batted around in the third inning, getting five runs on a double, a walk and five singles.
