Elias Diaz homered, singled and scored twice to help the San Diego Padres complete a two-game sweep of the visiting San Francisco Giants with a 5-3 victory on Wednesday afternoon.

Elias Díaz homered and scored twice, and Fernando Tatis Jr. had three hits for the San Diego Padres, who beat the San Francisco Giants 5-3 Wednesday for a two-game sweep. The Padres leapfrogged the Giants into second place behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the ultra-competitive NL West.

The Padres led almost from the start, as Tyler Wade reached out and down for a curveball on the outer third and lined it softly into right field with two outs in the second inning to bring in Gavin Sheets from second base. Sheets had walked and moved up on a groundout by Iglesias.
