 SAN DIEGO (AP) - David Wells was on his best behavior, pitching six strong innings and leading the San Diego Padres to a 5-1 victory over the New York Mets on Monday night.
Michael Barrett went 3-for-4 with three RBIs, his best game since coming over in a trade with the Chicago Cubs on June 20. Mike Cameron homered for the Padres, who led the NL West at the All-Star break before falling into second place behind Los Angeles after losing two of three at Arizona over the weekend.
Wells (5-5) was pitching for the first time since he was suspended for seven games and fined $3,000 by the commissioner's office for his animated argument with an umpire on July 14.
