SAN DIEGO -- Ian Kennedy has the luxury of pitching in spacious Petco Park. Ray Bourque Jersey . One would think, anyway. "All my wins have been on the road," Kennedy said. "That is how it works sometimes." Kennedy earned his first home victory of the season on Sunday, pitching the San Diego Padres past the Chicago Cubs 4-3. Kennedy (3-6) allowed one run and two hits with six strikeouts. He walked two in earning his first win in five starts. Huston Street got his 14th save in as many chances despite giving up Starlin Castros two-run homer in the ninth inning. The Cubs, who had four hits, were trying to win their first series since Sept. 9-11 in Cincinnati. The Padres backed Kennedy with some rare run support. "He deserved that one," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Hes been a victim of not a lot of runs and if you look across the board at his numbers, all that stuff, hes been good. We just havent scored for him and Im glad we got it done in the bottom half of the sixth." It appeared Kennedy was headed for another tough-luck loss. He was trailing 1-0 when he left for a pinch-hitter in the sixth. The Padres scored four times in the inning, surprising Chicago starter Jason Hammel (5-3). "I felt in complete command," Hammel said. "I felt like I was going to go complete-game shutout. Everything was working." Chase Headley tied it with a sacrifice fly and the Padres went ahead 2-1 Carlos Quentins pinch-hit single off reliever James Russell. Two walks by Hammel helped extend the inning. For Quentin, it was his third pinch-hit RBI in two games after a two-run, homer in Saturdays loss. "We were going to stay away a little bit from Quentin," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "The ball just came back out over the plate." Jedd Gyorko added an RBI double and when centre fielder Emilio Bonifacio misplayed the ball for an error, pinch-runner Tyson Ross also scored for a 4-1 lead. Ross, a pitcher, ran for Quentin and scored a run for the first time in the majors. He slid home, although there was no throw to the plate. "I figured better safe than sorry," Ross said. A sixth-inning home run by Junior Lake gave the Cubs a brief lead, although it took a little while for him to celebrate. Lake hit an arching drive to left field and Seth Smith appeared as if he caught the ball before it reached the seats. A disappointed Lake nearly veered off the basepaths, but he resumed his trot third when umpire Greg Gibson gave the home run signal. Hammel retired 11 straight before Yonder Alonso lined a single in the fifth inning for the Padres first hit. Alonso stole second and advanced to third on Cameron Maybins one-out infield single. But Maybin was picked off first by Hammel and Rene Rivera struck out to end the threat. The Cubs didnt have much luck against Kennedy early. Castro got into scoring position in the second inning after a leadoff single and a walk, but Kennedy got the next three batters. Hammel pitched 5 2-3 innings, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks, with five strikeouts. But this day belonged to Kennedy, and that it came at Petco Park made all the better. "Its always great to see runs scored like that," Kennedy said, "whether youre pitching or not."

Broad will join fellow seamer James Anderson and skipper Alastair Cook in Englands current 100 club - and become just the 14th Englishman in history to reach the milestone - when the tourists begin the five-match at Rajkot on Wednesday.But the Nottinghamshire paceman, who made his Test debut in 2007, insists he is focused on righting the wrongs of the Test defeat to Bangladesh in Dhaka eight days ago. Obviously Im aware how special an achievement it is because of the players that have come before me - the amount theyve given to English cricket, said the 30-year-old. Broads pace partner James Anderson (left) is already a member of the 100 club So it will be a special cap to receive. But actually, I think what excites me more is we hope this game will be the start of a huge series for us as well.Theres no bigger occasion than the start of a series in India against the world No 1 team.I try not to think about end of careers, because I think that makes you slow down as a player. I think as soon as you set those targets, you stop chasing to improve, you stop training very hard.I certainly want to play in big series, and that counts at least two more Ashes series in my view. England captain Alastair Cook hopes Anderson will be fit for the Second Test in India after joining the tour Of Broads 99 Test appearances to date, only three have come in India and he has had precious little success in the country, taking just two wickets at the cost of 290 runs.

I think I only bowled 25 overs in the series.I lacerated the fat pad in my left heel before the first Test match in the warm-up game, and the scans just didnt show it.It was a frustrating period for me, but I feel in a pretty good place at the moment... and Im excited to get going.
