SAN FRANCISCO -- Hector Sanchez is getting a lot more comfortable with his swing and his role on the Padres since coming off the disabled list almost two weeks ago.Hitting a home run against his former ballclub provided a lift, too.Sanchez homered and singled twice in his return to AT&T Park, and six San Diego pitchers combined on a five-hit shutout as the Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 4-0 Monday night.Its amazing to play in this ballpark, Sanchez said. Great fans, beautiful field. Sometimes in baseball you have to turn the page. I spent a lot of time with the Giants, had great memories. But when you come back here you have to turn the page and do the best you can do.Sanchez spent his first five seasons in San Francisco as a backup behind four-time All-Star catcher Buster Posey and had homered only twice previously at AT&T Park before hitting a 2-2 pitch from starter Jeff Samardzija (11-10) into the stands above the brick wall in right field with one out in the sixth.Its Sanchezs first three-hit game since May 17, 2014.That was crazy. I didnt expect the ball to go out, Sanchez said. I guess I put a good swing on it and lucky for me it went out.Yangervis Solarte drove in two runs and Luis Sardinas added two hits while helping the Padres to their fourth consecutive win over the Giants.It was a bitter loss for San Francisco, which dropped four games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West after trimming two games off the lead last weekend.With 19 games left, however, the Giants still lead the race for the leagues top wild card.We have not been consistent with our lineup, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. It sure looks bad to get shut out when you get back home the first day, but were staying behind these guys.Padres starter Paul Clemens (3-5) fought through flu symptoms earlier in the week and vomited between innings but still pitched five gritty innings to end San Franciscos three-game winning streak. The right-hander allowed three hits, walked one and struck out two.He actually held it together stuff-wise better today than he has in his previous couple of starts, San Diego manager Andy Green said. It was a cool night so Im sure that helped him, too. He was just very, very good under the circumstances.Solarte had an RBI single in the fourth and drove in another run in the fifth with a grounder.Hunter Pence had two hits for the Giants.SHARK BITTENSamardzija allowed four runs over six innings, struck out six and walked one. Not a terrible outing but one that quickly went south when Sanchez homered. It was only the second home run allowed by Samardzija in his last seven starts The two-run homer put a sour taste in my mouth with the way things were, Samardzija said. I left a splitter a little bit up in the zone and (Sanchez) was able to put a barrel on the ball.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: Green said RHP Tyson Ross (right shoulder inflammation) hasnt progressed as quickly as the team had hoped and isnt likely to pitch again this season.

Typically, only five percent of people survive after going into cardiac arrest.Roach had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator inserted on Friday.This was an undiagnosed heart condition that I have had most likely since I was born as it is caused by a genetic mutaation, Roach said.dddddddddddd It causes the heart walls to thicken and during exercise it can result in loss of blood flow and the rhythm to get off beat.I was on the field for the 13-play drive by Tennessee Tech and my heart was beating very fast, but it was not pumping blood. I went into cardiac arrest and for approximately 45 seconds had no pulse and was not breathing. The athletic trainers and doctors were in the right place at the right time to do what was needed.In a university release, Roach thanked the athletic training staffs from the two schools, the hospital doctors and staff, and the Tennessee Tech community.
