MILWAUKEE (AP) Ross Ohlendorf had a string relief outing and the San Diego Padres strung together four consecutive singles in a sixth-inning rally to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-2 on Saturday.
The game followed a Friday night slugfest when the teams combined for six home runs.
None were hit on a sweltering day in front of a capacity crowd at Miller Park.
Ohlendorf (1-0), signed by the Padres on June 4, pitched 4 1-3 innings to earn the victory.
He gave up five hits, one earned run and struck out four as the Padres got their sixth road victory this year against 20 losses, the worst such record in the majors.
Mike Fiers (1-2), making his third start of the season for Milwaukee, allowed 10 hits and four earned runs in six innings.
He walked one and struck out six.
