The Padres struck in the eighth inning when Venable doubled to left. This move helped Yonder Alonso and Will Middlebrooks to score. This tied up the game 2-2.
The game went to extra innings as both teams struggled to get on the board again in the bottom of the eighth/ninth. In the eleventh inning Alexi Amarista reached on an infield single which helped Derick Norris to score and ultimately win the game for the Padres.
