SAN DIEGO (AP) — Padres rookie Dinelson Lamet allowed four hits over seven innings, and Wil Myers and Hunter Renfroe hit two-run homers as San Diego beat the Atlanta Braves 6-0 on Thursday night.

Lamet (3-2), in his seventh career start, was stellar as he spotted his mid-90s fastball and was able to get the Braves to chase his late-breaking slider. He struck out eight and walked one.

The win gave the Padres the three-game set, which snapped the surging Braves’ streak of taking four consecutive series. After winning eight of 10 games, the Braves lost two straight to the Padres.
