Padres 3, Giants 2(10)

Published Apr. 20, 2010 6:11 a.m. ET

David Eckstein homered in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the San Diego Padres their fifth straight win, 3-2 over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.

Eckstein's leadoff shot against Jeremy Affeldt (2-2) just made it inside the left-field foul pole against the brick Western Metal Supply building.

Tim Stauffer (2-0) pitched the 10th.

San Francisco tied the game at 2 in the ninth when Juan Uribe hit a hanging 3-2 curveball into the left-field stands off Padres closer Heath Bell with one out.

It was Bell's first blown save in four chances.

Adrian Gonzalez and Will Venable hit sacrifice flies to give the Padres a 2-1 lead heading into the ninth before Uribe's second home run.
