SAN DIEGO (AP) Rookie Hunter Renfroe hit the first home run in Petco Park history to land on the roof of the brick warehouse in the left-field corner and drove in four runs to lead the San Diego Padres to a 6-5 victory over the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night.

With one out in the third, Renfroe drove a two-run homer off Jose De Leon onto the top of the Western Metal Supply Co. building, a remnant from the skid row neighborhood that made way for Petco Park, which opened in 2004. It went an estimated 435 feet.

Renfroe, the MVP of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League, has four homers and 12 RBIs since he was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Sept. 21. He drove in all seven runs in Tuesday night's 7-1 win, on his first grand slam and a three-run homer.

The Dodgers lost despite hitting three home runs off rookie Luis Perdomo (9-10).

Ross Stripling (5-9) allowed a run in three innings.
