SAN DIEGO (AP) β€” Yonder Alonso and Yasmani Grandal homered, and Chase Headley drove in three runs, as the San Diego Padres beat the Chicago Cubs 11-1 on Friday night.

The Padres set a season-high in runs and had 12 hits. Everyone but Will Venable had at least one hit among the starting position players.

Tim Stauffer (2-0) was the beneficiary. Making his first start since May 14, 2012 at Washington, Stauffer pitched five shutout innings and gave up two hits. He struck out five, with a walk and hit batter, earned his win as a starter win since Sept. 16, 2011, against Arizona.

The Padres snapped a four-game losing streak.

Edwin Jackson (3-4) took the loss, allowing eight runs and nine hits in just four innings..
