GAME LOG
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- No Eric Owens. No Ryan Klesko. No problem. Despite missing two of its offensive sparkplugs, the San Diego Padres set season highs for hits and runs Thursday night in a 15-3 rout of the Philadelphia Phillies. "Who needs them?," second baseman Bret Boone said, jokingly. "We played great without them." Boone and Phil Nevin each hit three-run homers as San Diego got 19 hits, including nine for extra bases. Former Phillie Desi Relaford, and Joe Vitiello also homered for the Padres, who have won nine of their last 12. Every starter scored at least one run scored. "We had a couple of guys banged up a little and the guys that stepped in for them did a great job," Boone said. "That's a team." It was the most runs for the Padres since beating Houston 13-3 on June 10, and the most hits since getting 19 at Colorado on July 2, 1999. Relaford, Damian Jackson, Wiki Gonzalez and Mike Darr each had three hits to back Woody Williams (7-4), who won for the third time in four starts. He allowed three runs and six hits in six innings. Jackson started in left field for Owens, who was nursing a sore right elbow and Vitiello, who had one hit and two RBIs, replaced Klesko at first base. Randy Wolf (9-6) was pounded for nine runs -- eight earned -- 12 hits and four walks in 5 2-3 innings. "The last couple times out, he has struggled a little bit," Phillies manager Terry Francona said. "His location was off and a couple of pitches really turned the game around quickly. One of those pitches was to Boone, who broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth with his 19th homer, putting the Padres ahead 4-1. Doug Glanville's RBI triple and Bobby Abreu's sacrifice fly pulled the Phillies to 4-3 in the fifth, but Relaford homered in a five-run sixth that also include Vitiello's sacrifice fly and Nevin's 24th homer. "Relaford's homer was big," Padres manager Bruce Bochy said. "It was the quick answer we needed when they had scored. After that, the hitting became contagious. Everybody contributed." "It felt really good," said Relaford, who was traded from the Phillies on Aug. 4. "The fans were really ragging on me the last couple of nights." Jackson added a two-run triple off Wayne Gomes in the seventh that made it 11-3. Philadelphia added four in the eighth off Mark Holzemer on Vitiello's solo homer, Darr's two-run triple and Relaford's RBI single. Philadelphia, which gave up its most runs since a 14-9 loss to the Chicago Cubs on July 26, went ahead in the first on Mike Lieberthal RBI single. Darr's run-scoring grounder tied it in the second. "I was bad, that's all there was to it," Wolf said. "It was just one of those days." Game notesPhillies 3B Scott Rolen was a late scratch due to a strained left wrist. ... Glanville's first-inning double extended his hitting streak to 11 games. ... Nevin has nine extra-base hits (six doubles and three homers) during his current seven-game hitting streak. ... Relaford's homer was his first in five games with the Padres and his first in 150 at-bats. ... Williams went 2-for-4, raising his average to .324. ... Boone went 2-for-2 with an intentional walk against Wolf. For his career, Boone is 4-for-4 with two walks against him. ... The hits were the most off the Phillies since Cincinnati got 19 last Sept. 4. ... Francona was ejected by first-base umpire Charlie Williams in the seventh inning. Francona, who had argued another call early in the game by Williams, complained that Jackson's triple should have been ruled a ground-rule double. Television replays clearly showed the ball bounced over the fence. It was Francona's second ejection this season. | ALSO SEE Baseball Scoreboard San Diego Clubhouse Philadelphia Clubhouse RECAPS NY Yankees 12 Oakland 6
