Smoltz (5-1) gave up homers to Adrian Gonzalez and light-hitting Geoff Blum before leaving for a pinch hitter with the Padres leading, 2-1.

After Kelly Johnson and Willie Harris had two-out singles off Cla Meredith (1-1) in the seventh, Chipper Jones lined the first pitch to the gap in right-center for a ground-rule double, and Andruw Jones followed with a run-scoring single to right.

SAN FRANCISCO - Carlos Delgado homered and doubled in the tying run in the eighth inning, and David Wright came through with a go-ahead, two-run double in the ninth to lead New York past San Francisco.
