Braves Rout Padres

ATLANTA 12, SAN DIEGO 3

SAN DIEGO (Ticker) -- All-Star catcher Brian McCann belted a solo homer and drove in three runs as the Atlanta Braves cruised to a 12-3 triumph over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. Mark Teixeira's two-run single highlighted a three-run first inning and Brent Lillibridge had a career-high three hits for Atlanta, which gave Bobby Cox his 2,300 managerial victory. Cox, who has 1,945 victories with the Braves, is the winningest manager in team history.

McCann, who leads all major league catchers with 18 home runs, belted a solo shot in the seventh inning to give Atlanta a 9-2 lead. He then jump-started a three-run ninth with a run-scoring double. That was more than enough offense for Jorge Campillo (4-4), who allowed two runs and five hits while striking out four in six innings. The 29-year-old rookie righthander left the game in the top of the seventh after fouling a ball off his left foot. Kevin Kouzmanoff and rookie Chase Headley belted solo home runs for San Diego, which fell for the 19th time in its last 25 contests.

Randy Wolf (6-9) allowed six runs and six hits in five innings to take the loss.
