SAN DIEGO (AP) — Aaron Cunningham hit his first career grand slam and Mat Latos outpitched Brett Cecil to carry the San Diego Padres to an 8-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.

It was the first hit as a Padre for Cunningham, who was called up from Triple-A Portland on Friday after Matt Stairs went on the disabled list. Cunningham doubled in his next at-bat.

Latos (7-4) retired the first 11 Toronto batters before allowing four straight Blue Jays to reach base during a two-run rally in the fourth. Latos allowed two runs and four hits in 6 2-3 innings, struck out seven and walked one. He and three relievers combined on a five-hitter.
