San Diego Padres go extra innings to down Philadelphia, 6-5

Adrian Gonzalez homered and drove in three runs, Chase Headley had four hits and the San Diego Padres beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 on pinch-hitter Oscar Salazar's two-out infield single in the 10th inning.

Nick Hundley also homered for the Padres, who scored three times in the first against Joe Blanton. But the Phillies came right back behind Ryan Howard's three RBIs to take a 5-3 lead and chase starter Kevin Correia in the second.

Headley opened the 10th with a single off Danys Baez (2-2) and advanced to third on a sacrifice and a grounder to second. After an intentional walk to Tony Gwynn Jr., Salazar singled deep into the shortstop hole to put the Padres ahead 6-5.
