CINCINNATI (AP) - Kevin Kouzmanoff's two-run double completed
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
the Reds to take a 4-3 lead into the ninth. Cordero (4-3) then gave
up a lead for the second time in his last three appearances.
Brian Giles tied it with a run-scoring groundout, and
Kouzmanoff's double made it 6-4. Cordero retired only two of seven
batters.
Clay Hensley (1-0) pitched two hitless innings for the win.
Trevor Hoffman allowed the Reds to load the bases with no outs in
the ninth but got two strikeouts around a foul pop for his 18th
save.
The Padres had been 0-53 when trailing after eight innings,
