"Still without an out in the bottom of the fourth, Padres starter Jon Garland already had thrown 90 pitches. But he also led one of his former teams, the Los Angeles Dodgers, by five runs. In a game that took two-plus hours just to get to the fifth inning, the Padres outlasted and outhit the Los Angeles Dodgers for a 10-5 victory Wednesday night that ended L.A.'s nine-game winning streak and the Padres' winless streak against the Dodgers after three games. "We needed this," said first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. "Just the way they beat us up three days in a row in San Diego (over the weekend), to get the first one here is nice. These games aren't that important now, but they might end up being that way in September." In one respect, it was a career night for Gonzalez, who beat his personal best of four RBI in a game with a half-dozen last night, half of them in a back-to-back home-run parlay with Chase Headley in the aforementioned fourth inning." http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/may/19/gonzalez-venable-lead-10-run-explosion/
