AN DIEGO (AP)—Adrian Gonzalez(notes) hasn’t lost his home run swing, and the San Diego Padres can indeed win an interleague game.
Gonzalez was the main reason the Padres beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 in 10 innings Thursday to end their major league-record interleague losing streak at 13.
He matched his career high with four hits, including his first homer in 13 games to tie Albert Pujols(notes) for the big league lead with 23, and scored the winning run with two outs in the 10th.
Gonzalez doubled off Miguel Batista(notes) (3-2) and scored on Kevin Kouzmanoff’s(notes) single to left, beating the throw from Endy Chavez(notes).
“The only thing that matters is that we won,” Gonzalez said. “Going 4 for 4 is a side note. Just the fact that we were able to win a game and end the losing streak and win a game against the American League, that was nice.”
