SAN DIEGO (AP) — James Shields won for the first time in six weeks, and Matt Kemp, Jedd Gyorko and Justin Upton homered to lead the San Diego Padres to a 4-2 victory against the Colorado Rockies on Friday night.

The Padres, who have underperformed despite making several big offseason acquisitions, have won three straight following a six-game losing streak.

Shields (8-3) won for the first time since beating the New York Mets 7-0 on June 3. He had four no-decisions and a three-start losing streak in his last seven starts. He allowed one run and seven hits in five innings, struck out six and walked four.

Shields, who signed a $75 million, four-year free-agent contract in February, allowed a homer to Charlie Blackmon leading off the fifth that made it 3-1. Craig Kimbrel pitched a perfect ninth for his 24th save.

Jorge De La Rosa (6-4) took the loss.
