    Logan Forsythe gave even himself a jolt when his first big league homer gave the San Diego Padres a dramatic 6-5 win against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.

    "It's a pretty cool feeling," Forsythe said. "It's always going to be special when you get a walk-off win. It felt nice to be the guy to do it."

    Forsythe hit a 1-0 pitch from Steve Edlefsen (0-1) into the second deck in left field to give the Padres the win and snap the Giants' four-game winning streak."

    "It felt pretty good off the bat. I was just trying to get on base for the guys. Luckily, it got out," he said.

    Manager Bud Black was pleased for Forsythe, who had foot surgery during spring training and just came off the 60-day disabled list Sunday.

    "That ball was crushed," Black said. "You could tell right off the bat. Great sound, right trajectory. Great swing. That was good to see. We've brought him back after the surgery and he's stepped right in and really given us a lift. He really didn't have a spring training or an April, so it's good to get him going."
