    Burch Smith is learning how to pitch without trying to strike out every batter he faces.

    "It's funny how it works," he said. "I get the most when I'm not trying to strike guys out. I just try to keep it simple, just execute the pitch."

    Smith struck out 10 in seven innings to earn his first major league victory, Chase Headley and Tommy Medica homered, and the San Diego Padres beat the Atlanta Braves 4-0 Sunday.
