The Padres tied the game in the eighth when Will Venable tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jerry Hairston Jr.
Colorado took a 2-1 lead in the fifth. Pitcher Greg Smith led off with a double and scored on Carlos Gonzalez’s one-out double. Todd Helton followed with a run-scoring single.
San Diego scored in the fourth when Headley singled and was tripled in by Hairston Jr.
Padres starter Wade LeBlanc pitched well for the fourth consecutive outing, allowing two runs and seven hits in six innings.
