SAN DIEGO — San Francisco rookie Grant McCray homered twice and drove in five runs as the Giants beat the San Diego Padres 6-3. McCray, who made his major league debut on Aug. 14, put the Giants ahead 3-2 on his drive deep into the seats in right field off Dylan Cease with two outs in the second inning. Patrick Bailey and Brett Wisely were aboard on singles. Bailey was on again with a leadoff walk in the eighth when McCray again went deep to right, off Yuki Matsui, for his fifth homer.
