SAN DIEGO (AP) — Matt Kemp and Jedd Gyorko homered and James Shields pitched six innings as the San Diego Padres beat the Colorado Rockies 11-4 on Wednesday night.

The Padres had 18 hits, two shy of their season high, in winning their second straight after a four-game losing streak.

San Diego scored four runs in the third to take a 6-2 lead.

The big blow was Gyorko’s three-run homer, his 14th of the season. Yangervis Solarte and Kemp reached on singles before Gyorko’s blast, which extended his hitting streak to a season-high nine games.

Chris Rusin (5-8) went three innings and allowed six runs and eight hits, walked Shields with the bases loaded in the second to tie the game 2-2. Rusin lost for the sixth time in his last eight starts.

Shields (11-6) worked six innings, charged with four runs, seven hits and four walks.
