SAN DIEGO -- After a 10-game winless streak, San Diego Padres starter Eric Stults has found his groove. "Its nice to get over the hump," Stults said. "My last three starts, Ive found my rhythm." Stults allowed one run over 6 1-3 innings and Nick Hundley hit a three-run homer to lead the Padres to a 4-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night. It was the second straight win for Stults (10-13) after breaking a 10-game winless streak. He dropped his first six second-half decisions before prevailing in his previous outing against the Pittsburgh Pirates. "After the All-Star break I wasnt pitching like I wanted to," Stults said. "So I decided to just take it one start at a time and give us a quality game and try to give us a chance to win." Huston Street worked the ninth for his 33rd save in 34 chances. Stults struck out five and walked two in winning consecutive starts for the first time since July 9 and July 14. "That was indicative of a lot of the games weve seen Stults pitch here the last couple of years," Padres Manager Bud Black said. Hundley has four homers, five doubles and 16 RBIs in his last 30 games. The win was the Padres sixth in seven games against the Diamondbacks at Petco Park. The Padres had runners on in the second, fourth and fifth innings with none getting in scoring position. That changed in the sixth when Chase Headley notched his second hit and it was followed by Tommy Medicas single. Hundley smacked a 77 mph curveball from Brandon McCarthy (5-10) which landed just inside the left-field foul pole on the Western Metal Supply Co., buildings second deck. It extended Hundleys career highs to 12 home runs and 43 RBIs. "Its 0-1 and Im throwing a breaking ball there to try and set up something else," McCarthy said. "Its a bad pitch." Hundley wasnt sure if Mondays homer would stay fair. He gave it plenty a ....... English and then some. "A lot of prayers," he said. "Really anything that would help because I wasnt sure. About halfway down the line I thought it was foul and was hoping it would go fair, and it did." Arizona chased Stults with one out in the seventh on Cliff Penningtons double and a walk to Adam Eaton. Nick Vincent then got A.J. Pollock to pop up to Headley at third and struck out Paul Goldschmidt on three fastballs. "The huge at-bat was Goldschmidt," Black said. "He got a couple of fastballs by him and then a hard cutter. He didnt pick it up out of his hand and had kind of a funky swing on it." The Padres, after being shut out the previous two games by the Los Angeles Dodgers, snapped a 21-inning scoreless string in the first inning. Leadoff hitter Chris Denorfia singled and advanced to second on a groundout. Headleys single made it 1-0. Arizona tied the score in the second on Eatons fielder choice, which followed singles by Matt Davidson, Will Nieves and Pennington, with Davidson scoring. But the Diamondbacks let a big chance slip away. "Hes throwing the ball well here," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "He threw a big game. We had some opportunities. The guys got frustrated and he was throwing the ball where he wanted to throw it. We had some lost opportunities." Padres shortstop Ronny Cedeno was beaned by Heath Bell in the seventh inning and left the game. Black said Cedeno was woozy and had a headache, but was not being hospitalized for an evaluation. NOTES: Black said RHP Andrew Cashner (10-9) wont pitch again this season. Cashner, a converted reliever, has thrown 175 innings and Black said the team will skip his next turn, Saturday in San Francisco. ...
