Gavin Sheets homered twice and JP Sears earned his first win with the San Diego Padres in their 8-1 rout of the visiting San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night.

Sears (8-10), making his second start with San Diego after being traded there along with closer Mason Miller at the trade deadline on July 31, gave up only four hits and a run in six innings. Sears walked one and fanned two.

Landen Roupp (7-7) absorbed the loss and suffered an injury to boot. Roupp permitted five runs on five hits over 2 1/3 innings, walking two and striking out two. He left the game in the bottom of the third after Ramon Laureano smoked a 95.7 mph liner off the back of his left knee.

Sheets accounted for half of the Padres offense with two swings. In the second inning, he lined his career-high 16th homer an estimated 369 feet into the seats in right field for a 2-0 lead.

When Joey Lucchesi relieved the injured Roupp, Sheets welcomed him by belting a three-run shot just inside the right field foul pole, making it 6-0. It was Sheets’ fourth two-homer game in his career and his second of the year.

San Diego scored in each of the first three innings, giving Sears plenty of cushion. Ryan O’Hearn initiated the scoring in the first with a two-out RBI single to center that plated Fernando Tatis Jr., who led off with a double. The right fielder Tatis had robbed Rafael Devers of a homer in the top of the inning, lifting his glove a foot or so above the wall to bring back Devers’ drive.

Manny Machado led off the third with his 21st homer, jumping on a 3-0 pitch from Roupp and ripping it over the left-center field wall.

San Francisco got its only run in the fourth when Casey Schmitt lined a homer to left, his eighth of the year.

O’Hearn lofted a solo blast to center in the seventh, his 16th of the year and third with the Padres. Tatis capped the scoring in the eighth with a two-out RBI single.
