 SAN DIEGO (AP) - Adam Eaton put in a full night's work in his return to San Diego. The right-hander shook off a collision with an umpire, hit an RBI single and beat his old team, pitching the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Friday night.
It was Eaton's first start at Petco Park since the Padres traded him to Texas on Jan. 4, 2006, in a six-player deal that brought All-Star Chris Young and Adrian Gonzalez to San Diego. After missing much of last season with a finger injury, Eaton signed a $24.5 million, three-year contract with Philadelphia.
Eaton (9-6) came in with a 5.98 ERA but held the Padres to two runs and seven hits in 5 2-3 innings. He struck out six and walked three while beating Justin Germano (6-4), who was picked up off waivers from the Phillies during spring training.
