The Padres got a couple runs in the first with a run scoring groundout by Chase Headley followed by a sac fly by Yasmani Grandal to cut the lead to one.

Grandal and Guzman knocked in two more runs in the fifth on a single and double respectively, pushing the score to 7-3.

After surrendering a run to the Giants in the first, the Padres came back and led the entire game until Huston Street blew his first save, giving up three runs that lead to the Padres losing their final game of the season at Petco Park. Street’s first blown save also featured his first home run given up, a game tying shot to Xavier Nady into the beachers beyond the centerfield wall. Two batters later Hunter Pence gave the Giants a 7-5 lead with his second home run of the series, a two-run shot to center as well.
The Giants took an early lead for the third straight game on a groundout by Aubrey Huff, scoring Gregor Blanco from third. This lead held until the third when Logan Forsythe launched a mammoth shot to left with a runner on to give the Friars a 2-1 advantage.
Edinson Volquez appeared to get out of a jam in the fourth when Brandon Belt made a mental error tagging on a base hit to right, thinking the ball was caught. Chris Denorfia fired a strike home to nail Belt at the plate for the second out. But Volquez then walked the bases loaded issuing a free pass to pitcher Tim Lincecum. He then walked in Joaquin Arias, allowing the Giants to tie the game at two all.
Yasmani Grandal broke up the tie right away in the bottom of the ninth when he launched the ball on a line over the fence in deep right-center to give the Padres a 3-2 lead. The next inning Everth Cabrera walked and then stole second for his 40th stolen base of the season. He then stole third and trotted home when Hector Sanchez threw the ball into left field, giving the Padres a two run lead.
Lincecum gave up another long ball to Chase Headley in the bottom of the sixth to put San Diego up 5-2.
But the Giants came back with two runs in the eighth on a RBI single by Brandon Belt followed by a sac fly by Brandon Crawford to cut the lead to one.
Huston Street then came in and took his first loss of the year from the blown save, giving the Giants a series clinching 7-5 victory.
