At San Diego on Friday, the NL West-leading Diamondbacks jumped on Padres SP Randy Wolf, who entered the game with a 2.49 ERA, for five runs in the third inning, which was highlighted by Mark Reynolds' three-run homer to straightaway center. Wolf left after four innings, having allowed seven hits and recorded three strikeouts. He suffered his first loss. "I kept getting behind in the count, especially that third inning," Wolf said. "I wasn't ahead of anybody. You have to credit them. They're a good, young, hitting team. When you fall behind, and you're not making quality pitches, they'll take advantage of it."

Padres SP Randy Wolf, who took a no-hitter into the seventh in his last start, dominated again until the seventh inning Sunday at Arizona. He allowed four runs in 6 1/3 innings -- three coming in the seventh inning -- giving up six hits and a walk while striking out seven. He still managed to record his second win. "I kept the team in the game early, but I think the story for today is definitely our hitters," he said.

Wolf strikes out seven en route to second win

Randy Wolf held the Rockies hitless for 6 2/3 innings and struck out nine, and Brian Giles collected his 1,000th RBI to lead the San Diego Padres to a 6-0 victory Tuesday night. Wolf and reliever Kevin Cameron, recalled from Triple-A earlier in the day, combined for a two-hitter. It was the Padres' second consecutive shutout and third of the season. The Rockies got only one baserunner as far as second against Wolf (1-0), who earned his first win with the Padres following two no-decisions. The left-hander didn't allow a hit until Brad Hawpe singled up the middle with two outs in the seventh. After inducing Yorvit Torrealba to hit into a force play to end the seventh, Wolf walked off the field to an ovation from the crowd of 24,439.
