Heath Bell worked a scoreless ninth inning for his 20th save in relief of Mike Adams (3-2). San Diego improved to 5-38 when trailing after seven innings.

Atlanta took a 1-0 lead in the top of the eighth when Will Venable’s error in right field allowed Eric Hinske to score on Jordan Schafer’s two-out double.

Venters, who gave up four singles and two walks, has only allowed four or more runs only one other time in his career.
