SAN DIEGO (AP) — Carlos Rodón retired 22 of the final 23 batters to complete a three-hitter for his third career complete game and Wilmer Flores hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning for the San Francisco Giants, who beat the San Diego Padres 3-1. Rodón was brilliant after allowing his only run in the second inning. He got Kim Ha-seong to ground into a double play to end the second, and then was one out away from throwing seven perfect innings to end it before he walked Luke Voit. The left-hander struck out Jorge Alfaro to end his brilliant afternoon.
