40,752 fans watched an exciting game at Petco Park.  The San Diego Padres
topped the Arizona Diamondbacks by the slimmest of margins, 3 to 2.
 
San Diego scored 2 runs in the 3rd inning.  Mark Teixeira led off and keyed
the rally when he singled.  Raul Ibanez got his turn next, but he was a
strikeout victim.  Garret Anderson then reached on an error.  After another
out, Mike Fontenot came to the plate and smacked a single.  That early
scoring was all that Joe Blanton(4-4) needed.  San Diego finished with 10
hits in the victory.  
 
Blanton was helped out by Chad Qualls who recorded his 10th save.  The losing
pitcher was Nick Blackburn(1-1).  The San Diego ballclub's record now stands
at 22-20.  With the loss Arizona now has a record of 1-3, worst in the
division.
