Xander Bogaerts went 2 for 4 with three RBIs, Nick Pivetta struck out nine in 5 1/3 innings and the San Diego Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 7-4.

Xander Bogaerts homered and knocked in three runs as the San Diego Padres snapped a four-game losing streak with a 7-4 win over the visiting San Francisco Giants on Tuesday.

Bogaerts' seventh-inning, two-run homer helped the Padres to a 7-4 win over the Giants and ended an unwanted individual streak.

SAN DIEGO — The Giants have grown familiar with being behind the eight ball. Roughly half their wins have been of the comeback variety. Playing from behind is a risky gambit, and against baseball’s best bullpen, their latest effort to erase a lead fell short.

Comebacks have been the norm for the Giants, but on Tuesday, San Francisco learned that dramatic wins won't be so easy against their NL West rivals.
