Once he hit the ball down the left-field line, Kyle Blanks began talking to it in an attempt to keep it fair. On the mound and watching the ball soar toward the stands, Jeff Francis started leaning in an effort to push it foul. "I think I might've been talking louder than he was leaning," Blanks said. Blanks hit a two-run homer that caromed off the foul screen and Eric Stults tossed seven solid innings, helping the San Diego Padres to a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.
