SAN DIEGO -- Adam Rosales homered leading off the 10th inning to give the San Diego Padres a 2-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night.

Rosales sent a 2-2 pitch from Jumbo Diaz (0-1) over the fence in left-center field for his eighth homer of the season.

San Diego relievers Ryan Buchter, Brandon Maurer and Brad Hand (3-2) each threw a scoreless inning.

Christian Friedrich started for the Padres and pitched six innings while giving up one run and five hits. Friedrich struck out two and walked one.

Anthony DeSclafani allowed one run on four hits in six innings for the Reds. He walked two and struck out six.

Matt Kemp was in the original lineup before he was scratched shortly before the game. San Diego later announced Kemp had been traded to Atlanta in exchange for Hector Olivera.

The Reds got on the scoreboard first on Billy Hamilton's RBI single in the top of the third.

Alexi Amarista's RBI single to right in the sixth tied it.

TRAINER'S ROOM

Padres: Alex Dickerson was held out of the lineup one day after suffering a hip contusion. Dickerson is not expected to land on the disabled list, according to manager Andy Green. "We'll get him back here soon," Green said.

UP NEXT

Reds: Homer Bailey (0-0) will make his season debut after returning from having Tommy John surgery in May 2015.

Padres: Paul Clemens (1-1, 4.82) will make his second start for the Padres after being claimed off waivers on July 1.
