By The Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) — Wil Myers
homered for San Diego for
the fourth time in two days,
connecting in the 16th in-

Jeff Mathis.
Myers, who hit three home
runs Saturday, clubbed a
3-2 pitch from Mathis (0-1)

Godley entered in extra in-
nings.
Manuel Margot had a ca-
reer-high five hits for the
Padres. All-Star closer Brad
Hand (2-4) worked two in-

utes.
