Nick Pivetta allowed one hit in 6 2/3 innings and Ramon Laureano had three of the Padres’ 14 hits as San Diego completed a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants with an 11-1 rout on Wednesday.
The Padres extended their winning streak to five games and moved a half-game ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West. However, the Dodgers had yet to play on Wednesday when the Padres game ended. The Dodgers will play the final game of their three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels later on Wednesday, hoping to avoid a three-game sweep.
The Giants have lost five straight games — all at home — in which they were outscored 32-5.
Pivetta (12-4) gave up four hits, struck out five and walked one. He retired 11 straight batters from the third inning to the seventh.
Two-run singles by Jake Cronenworth and Fernando Tatis Jr. highlighted the Padres’ seven-run second inning. Six of the seven runs were earned and all came off Kai-Wei Teng (1-2), who issued three walks in the frame.
Laureano hit a two-run shot off Joey Lucchesi as San Diego scored three times in the fifth. It was the 17th homer of the season for Laureano, who was acquired from Baltimore at the trade deadline.

Key moment
With the bases loaded in the second, Cronenworth hit a soft liner up the middle. The Giants might have been able to turn a double play, but the ball caromed off second base and into short center field for a single that made it 2-0.
Key stat
Dominic Smith went 0 for 4, ending the longest active hitting streak in the majors at 15 games. It was the longest for a San Francisco batter since Donovan Solano’s 17-gamer in 2020.
Up next
The Padres open a three-game series against the host Dodgers on Friday night. For the Giants, RHP Landen Roupp (7-6, 3.11 ERA) is scheduled to return from a stint on the injured list to start against the visiting Rays on Friday.

Aaron Rodgers shares his one regret during time with Packers as Steelers QB prepares to face former team
While Aaron Rodgers took extra delight in beating the Jets back in Week 1, the Steelers quarterback has made it clear that the same energy doesn't apply to Sunday's game against the Packers, his other former team that he enjoyed a tremendous amount of success with during their 18-year partnership. "I don't have any animosity toward the organization," Rodgers said. "Obviously, I wish that things have been better in our last year there, but I have a great relationship with a lot of people still in that organization, and this is not a revenge game for me. I'm just excited to see some of those guys and be on 'Sunday Night Football.'" Rodgers has a profound appreciation for his time in Green Bay and the things he and the Packers were able to accomplish. He does, however, wish that their time together had ended […]
Could Cowboys’ DeMarvion Overshown have Micah Parsons-like impact upon Week 11 return?
FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys explosive linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is back... at practice. The 25-year-old, who tore his ACL in the 2023 preseason as a rookie and then his ACL again, MCL and PCL on Thanksgiving last year, returned to practice on Wednesday in a limited capacity. Overshown went through individual position drills and then more conditioning with him treating the practices right now as his version of training camp. "Ain't God good man. He is. He is. It's a blessing just to be out there. Been watching for 300-plus days now. So when you [are] a guy like me that football is more than just a game to you, it's a way of life, you play with a passion and that energy. When you're able to do it again, you never take it for granted," Overshown said.He plans to […]
