Worth noting

• Padres second baseman Jedd Gyorko needs one home run to become the fifth second baseman to hit 20 or more home runs in his rookie season. Gyorko would join a select group that includes Dan Uggla (27 in 2006 for the Marlins), Hall of Famer Joe Gordon (25 in 1938, NYY), Danny Espinosa (21 in 2011, WAS) and Alexei Ramirez (21 in 2008, CWS).

Gyorko is second on the Padres' rookie home run list, trailing only Nate Colbert (24 in 1969).
