Padres 4, White Sox 1: Yonder Alonso hit a two-run homer among his three hits while Cameron Maybin added a solo shot to pace visiting San Diego.

Ian Kennedy (4-6) struck out nine while yielding one run and four hits in six innings to win his second straight start. Chris Denorfia and Carlos Quentin had two hits apiece while two relievers bridged the gap to Huston Street, who pitched a perfect ninth to earn his 16th save in 16 chances.

John Danks (3-5) yielded two runs and eight hits in seven innings while losing his third straight decision. Conor Gillaspie had two hits for the White Sox, who had their three-game winning snapped.

Maybin led off the third and belted a 2-0 pitch out to left for his first home run of the season. Chicago tied it in the fifth when Gillaspie scored on a two-out wild pitch after leading off with a single, advancing to second on Adam Dunn's walk and third on Alexei Ramirez's flyout.

San Diego took a 2-1 lead in the fifth as Rene Rivera led off with a double and was sacrificed to third by Everth Cabrera before scoring on a wild pitch with two outs. Tommy Medica walked with one out in the Padres' eighth and two batters later, Alonso took a 1-2 pitch out to right - his fourth of the year - to make it 4-1.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Chicago 2B Gordon Beckman turned in the defensive gem of the game when he used his glove to sweep Everth Cabrera's push bunt with a backhand motion on the ground to 1B Adam Dunn in the third inning. ... Medica went 0-for-3 after going 8-for-12 with two homers and five RBIs in four games since being recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday. ... The White Sox recorded their major league-best 1,000th quality start since the start of 2003.
