San Diego, CA - A dramatic come from behind win courtesy of Scott Hairston late in the game to beat the Atlanta Braves 4-3.

Padres was hoping to continue the offensive outburst coming home at Petco Park this series, but that is not the case. Coming into this series, Padres only tallied 6 runs total in the series against the Braves. You can't blame it all on Padres hitters. Braves pitchers has been phenomenal this series including their bullpen.

In the 8th inning, Padres Will Venable hit a towering shot to left field for a what could have been a 3-run shot, but Matt Diaz took it away with an amazing over the wall catch.

Braves bullpen is hittable after all. Ask Padres' Scott Hairston. Hairston, hit a dramatic 2-run home run in the 8th inning to give the Padres the lead late in the game.

"I was down in the count 1-2, but Eric (O' Flaherty) threw a ball that I can hit. I took advantage of that and I hit it well enough for a home run." Hairston stated.

Next series, the Padres will host the Arizona Diamondbacks at Petco Park at 7:05 PM. Mat Latos will get his 2nd start of the season, first at Petco Park. For the Diamondbacks, Rodrigo Lopez gets the call.

Notables:

- Chase Headley, 2-4, 2B, RBI
- Kyle Blanks, 2-3, 2B, BB
- Clayton Richard, 7.0 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 5 SO
