San Diego's ninth-inning comeback off closer Francisco Cordero, and
the Padres snapped their six-game losing streak Monday night with a
6-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 606th homer, a two-run shot that allowed

Clay Hensley (1-0) pitched two hitless innings for the win.

save.
The Padres had been 0-53 when trailing after eight innings,
