Wells wins first game in a month as Padres top Marlins <h3>SAN DIEGO 3, FLORIDA 1</h3>SAN DIEGO (Ticker) -- David Wells pitched 6 2/3 solid inningsand Brian Giles scored two runs as the San Diego Padres toppedthe Florida Marlins, 3-1, on Monday. Wells picked up his first victory since June 3 in shutting outthe Marlins on five hits. The 43-year-old lefthander recorded aseason-high six strikeouts against three walks and won at PetcoPark for just the second time this season. San Diego reliever Heath Bell got the final out of the seventhand Scott Linebrink allowed a solo home run to Josh Willinghamin the eighth before Trevor Hoffman retired the side in theninth for his 24th save in 26 chances and 506th career. "It was enough (offense)," Wells said. "When you go out thereand get some runs like that, you feel comfortable. Not toocomfortable, because you still have to go out there and pitch,but it's nice to know that you have a little bit of leeway outthere." "(Wells) did a fine job," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Hisbreaking ball I think had a little more bite to it tonight. Hemoved his fastball around in the zone, threw it for strikes. Iwould say that's typical of how he's been throwing over his lastnumber of starts." Florida's best scoring opportunity against Wells came in thefifth when Miguel Cabrera earned a two-out walk and advanced tothird on an error by San Diego first baseman Adrian Gonzalez.Wells (4-5) recovered to get Willingham to fly out to right andend the threat. "I was in a situation where there were two outs, so a flyball orgroundball, if you get that, it's going to be the key," Wellssaid. "You try to avoid the big innings when you've got guys onbase like that. With two outs, normally it's minimal damage." "(Wells) got out of jams," Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez said."We hit some balls hard right at people, and he got out of somejams. He pitched well for them." After missing 34 games due to a right knee contusion, Giles madean immediate impact in his first game at Petco Park in over sixweeks. Giles, batting leadoff after switching spots with his youngerbrother Marcus since returning from the injury, reached basethree times and scored twice to give Wells all the support heneeded. "With all of the time I missed, Buddy (Black) and I talked aboutit a lot," Brian Giles said of hitting at the top of the order."We're just trying to figure out more ways to generateoffense, and if that means me leading off, we'll do that to tryto win baseball games." "(Brian Giles) sees pitches, he fouls pitches off," Black said."Either one of the Giles brothers will do whatever it takes forus to be successful and help our lineup score runs. They bothhave been very team-oriented when it comes to the lineup." Florida starter Sergio Mitre (2-4) surrendered three runs onjust three hits over six innings. The 26-year-old righthanderlost his second straight decision. "It's not frustrating," Mitre said. "It's my fault. I put theguys on base with a leadoff walk and a leadoff double. Thoseare the things that are under my control. Everything else afterthat, stuff happens." Mike Cameron drove in a run in the sixth for San Diego, whichwon for the fourth time this year when collecting three hits orless. The Padres have won just three of their last 10 games atPetco Park. Miguel Olivo added three hits for the Marlins, who have lostseven of nine.
