SAN DIEGO -- Apparently eager to put a rough road trip behind them, the Padres wasted no time pouncing on Mariners spot starter James Paxton in their return to Petco Park on Wednesday night. They put six runs on the board in the first, kicked the extra point in the second and finished with a 14-6 victory over their Pacific Northwest foes.
Alexei Ramirez led the way with a pair of homers -- his first two as a Padre at Petco Park -- and a career-high five RBIs. Wil Myers, who finished a triple shy of the cycle, and Adam Rosales also went deep.
