San Diego broke the game open with four runs in the sixth as it sent 10 batters to the plate in padding its lead to 6-0.
First baseman Yonder Alonso led off with a double, right fielder Matt Kemp walked, and Alonso scooted to third on left fielder Justin Upton's fly ball. Shortstop Jedd Gyorko followed with a sacrifice fly to score Alonso. Kemp scored on second baseman Cory Spangenberg's double before catcher Austin Hedges was intentionally walked to get to Ross.
Ross, batting eighth, collected his fourth RBI of the season with a sharp single to center to score Spangenberg and chase Lewis. Third baseman Yangervis Solarte scored Hedges with a single off reliever Andrew Faulkner, who was making his major league debut.
