The Padres defeat the Dodgers, 9 – 5, scoring eight runs in the 2nd inning.

Alex Cabrera homers in his first major league at-bat, hitting a two-run pinch-hit round-tripper off Yorkis Perez in Arizona’s 6-1 victory over the Astros at Bank One Ballpark. The 28 year-old minor league veteran of nine seasons becomes the first player in the franchise’s three-year history to accomplish the feat.
