Padres Sweep Giants Behind Young, Hundley

The first-place San Diego Padres rode strong efforts from pitcher Chris Young and catcher Nick Hundley to beat Tim Lincecum and the Giants at Petco Park 6-1. The sweep of San Francisco and a four game split with Los Angeles has the Friars on top on the NL West with a 5-2 record as they head east to New York to open the Mets new ball park.Young pitched seven innings of four hit ball and allowed only one unearned run while his batterymate Hundley had four hits. Oddly enough, his late RBI single was almost a letdown, since he had started the day withh a single, double and triple. This gave him a chance to be the first Padre to ever hit for the cycle, but that milestone will have to wait for another day.Chase Headley hit his second home run of the season, a two run shot to the Petco Porch in right field in the bottom of the third, when the Padres established a lead they would not relinguish on this day.
