Padres handle Giants, Bumgarner
SAN DIEGO -- Right-hander Jhoulys Chacin outdueled San Francisco ace Madison Bumgarner and three San Diego rookies accounted for both runs as the Padres downed the Giants 2-1 for a second straight win at Petco Park.
Chacin (1-1) shut out the Giants on three hits and a walk with five strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings. He twice retired seven straight hitters and allowed only two runners to reach second.
Three Padres combined on a five-hitter.
Left-handed reliever Brad Hand followed Chacin and retired all four Giants he faced with one strikeout.
Back-to-back, two-out singles by Buster Posey and Brandon Crawford off left-handed Padres reliever Ryan Buchter put the Giants on the board in the ninth. But Buchter retired Eduardo Nunez on a high fly to left to end the game and pick up his first save of the season -- and the second of his major league career.
Bumgarner (0-1) went the distance for the Giants, allowing two runs, six hits and two walks with five strikeouts in eight innings. Bumgarner retired the last 10 Padres he faced.
The three rookies in the Padres' starting lineup -- led by center fielder Manuel Margot, who had two doubles in four at-bats with a run scored and a RBI -- had five straight hits against Bumgarner. The Padres scored in each of the first two innings.
Margot opened the game with a hustle double on a grounder to short left center, moved to third on an infield out by Wil Myers and scored on a double by right fielder Hunter Renfroe for the Padres' first run.
Shortstop Allen Cordoba, a Rule 5 addition, opened the second with his first major league hit, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Chacin and scored on Margot's second double in as many innings -- this one a shot into the left-field corner.
