SAN FRANCISCO-After watching Odrisamer Despaigne just dominate the San Francisco Giants in the series opener on Monday night, there was no way it could happen two games in a row.
Jesse Hahn, who made his major league debut on June 3, went six inning, allowing two run on four hits, walking two and striking out eight and the San Diego Padres made it two in a row with a 7-2 over the Giants before a crowd of 41,546, the 286th consecutive sellout at AT&T Park.
Will Venable, the son of former Giants outfielder Max Venable got the Padres on the board in the top of the third inning, as he hit a sacrifice fly to score Cameron Maybin from third base.
Alexei Amarista added another run in the top of the fifth inning after he doubled to score Jake Goebbert.

Pablo Sandoval broke up the Hahn attempt at the Padres first ever no-hitter, as he beat out an infield single in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Michael Morse followed Sandoval and singled Sandoval to third, and Tyler Colvin got the Giants on the board after a ground out Amarista at second base.
The Padres broke the game wide open in the top of the sixth inning, as Maybin reached on a infield single that scored Chase Headley from third base.

Amarista drove in the second and third runs of the inning, as he singled to score Yasmani Grandal and Goebbert.

Posey got the Giants within four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, as he doubled in Blanco, who led off the inning with a single.
