In the first two games of the weekend series between the San Diego Padres and the San Francisco Giants, the number one is the magic number.

Wil Myers hit a double in the bottom of the eighth inning that scored Clint Barmes, as the Padres defeated the Giants 1-0 at Petco Park.

It was the second game in a row that the final score was 1-0, as the reigning World Champion Giants spoiled the Padres home opener with a 1-0 12-inning victory on Thursday.

The lone run was the first run scored by the Padres in 22 innings, or since Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.

Also the run broke a string of 22 scoreless innings pitched by the Giants since their series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field on Wednesday.

Joaquin Benoit picked up his second win of the young season, as he pitched a perfect eighth inning in relief of stater Brandon Morrow.

Despite allowing a single in the top of the ninth inning, new Padres closer Craig Kimbrel was able to get Angel Pagan to ground into a double play to end the game.

Both Nori Aoki and Buster Posey each picked up two hits for the Giants in the loss.

Tim Lincecum went seven innings, scattering just four hits, while walking three and striking out five in his first start of the 2015 season.

Santa Rosa native and former CAL pitcher Brandon Morrow also pitched seven innings, and scattered four hits.

Morrow also walked three, the same as Lincecum; however he struck out seven in his first of the season.

The former PAC-10 foes were picked five spots apart in the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft, as Morrow was drafted by the Seattle Mariners and Lincecum was drafted number 10 by the Giants out of the University of Washington.
