Game Recap

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Rookie Mark Reynolds had three hits and a career-high five RBIs to lift the Arizona Diamondbacks to an 8-7 win over San Diego on Thursday night, regaining the NL West lead from the Padres.

The Diamondbacks, who trailed San Diego by one percentage point coming into the game, held on for the win after taking an 8-0 lead.

Reynolds hit a two-run homer an estimated 451 feet into the second deck in left field off Chris Young (9-5) in the second inning. Reynolds then capped a four-run fifth inning with a three-run double.

Arizona moved into first place, one game ahead of San Diego, by avoiding the four-game sweep. The Padres' lead in the wild-card race was cut to two games over Philadelphia, which beat New York earlier in the day.

Doug Davis (12-11) allowed three runs on four hits over 6 2-3 innings to improve to 7-1 in 10 starts since the All-Star break. Davis struck out seven and walked two as the Diamondbacks won for the ninth time in his second-half starts.

Jose Valverde gave up a solo homer to Milton Bradley in the ninth before finishing up for his major league-leading 41st save.

Young had control problems in his first start since leaving his Aug. 21 outing at New York after five innings due to lower back pain. Young, who missed his next scheduled start Sunday at Philadelphia, matched his career high with six walks. The 6-foot-10 right-hander also hit a batter as he allowed five runs and two hits with three strikeouts in 4 1-3 innings.

The Diamondbacks added a pair of runs in the seventh inning on consecutive doubles by Tony Clark, Stephen Drew and Chris Snyder for an 8-0 lead.

Davis allowed only two runners to reach second base through 6 2-3 innings. Kevin Kouzmanoff doubled with two outs in the bottom of the seventh, moved to third on a wild pitch, and scored on Geoff Blum's single. After reliever Juan Cruz hit pinch-hitter Craig Stansberry to load the bases, Brian Giles hit a two-run double.

The Padres scored three more in the eighth to pull to 8-6. Bradley led off with a single before Adrian Gonzalez doubled him to third. Tony Pena replaced Cruz and, one out later, Kouzmanoff and Josh Bard hit consecutive run-scoring singles. After a wild pitch and a fly out, Stansberry's added an RBI single

Reynolds put the Diamondbacks ahead in the second inning after Drew got on base with a one-out walk. With two outs, Reynolds hit Young's 88 mph fastball deep into the second deck in left field for the third-longest homer in Petco Park's four-year history.

Young's control problems continued in the fifth. With one out, he walked Orlando Hudson, hit Eric Byrnes with a pitch and loaded the bases with a walk to Clark. Joe Thatcher relieved and walked Drew to force in one run. Cla Meredith then came on and Reynolds cleared the bases one out later with a double over the head of right fielder Giles.

Young's ERA rose from 2.12 to 2.38 as he surrendered the major-league ERA lead to teammate Jake Peavy (2.18). The five runs he allowed equaled the number of runs Young has given up at home this season in 10 previous starts. His ERA at Petco Park went from 0.66 to 1.24.
