SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Padres got another clutch, late-inning hit and now can sweep a three-game series from the Cincinnati Reds. Nick Hundley hit a two-run double with two outs in the eighth inning and the Padres beat Cincinnati 4-2 Tuesday night, extending the Reds losing streak to five straight. The Padres have won four straight. On Monday night, Chris Denorfias pinch-hit, two-run homer off Aroldis Chapman in the ninth inning gave the Padres a 2-1 win. "We talk about it all the time -- good pitching and timely hitting, and today our pitchers did a nice job all the way throughout the game," manager Bud Black said. "We got a couple of big swings early and then the real big one late from Nick. Thats what it comes down to, a very clutch hit late in the game." Will Venable, who scored the go-ahead run on Hundleys hit, went 3 for 3 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI. Venable singled to right with one out in the eighth against left-hander Manny Parra (1-2). Sam LeCure came on and allowed a single to rookie Jedd Gyorko before striking out pinch-hitter Denorfia. Hundley then doubled down the left-field line. Hundley hit a curveball up in the zone. "I was looking for something up in the zone I could handle. Whether it was the first pitch or the last pitch, that was where my focus was," Hundley said. LeCure wasnt going to let Denorfia beat him. "For sure you take a lot from that at-bat," Hundley said. "For me, I took lot from Jedds at-bat. You try to hone in and watch how theyre pitching the right-handed guys. You try to take things from every at-bat, thats for sure." Parra hadnt allowed a run since June 7, a streak of 19 games and 15 1-3 innings. The Reds scored three or fewer runs for the 10th time in 11 games. "We get runners on and we cant push them over or across," manager Dusty Baker said. "We get runners on late, but cant move them. "Its just another tough one to lose," Baker said. "We didnt play really good. We made some mistakes. Not much to say. The club is down. We need a victory." Dale Thayer (1-3) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the win. Huston Street pitched the ninth for his 20th save in 21 chances. Cincinnatis Mat Latos and San Diegos Edinson Volquez were matched up foor the second time since being part of a five-player trade between the clubs on Dec.dddddddddddd 17, 2011. Neither got a decision. Latos went six innings, allowing two runs and two six hits, striking out six and walking two. Volquez went 6 1-3, allowing two runs and four hits, walking five and striking out three. The Reds scored single runs in the second and sixth innings, and the Padres matched them each time. In the second, Devin Mesoracos high chopper to third scored Jay Bruce, who was aboard on a leadoff single. San Diego tied it when Logan Forsythes groundout brought in Yonder Alonso, who hit a leadoff single and advanced on Venables double. The Reds took advantage of Volquezs wildness to go ahead 2-1 in the sixth. Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips drew consecutive walks and Votto scored on Bruces single to right. "Its awesome pitching against former teammates," Volquez said. "Ive got a good idea facing those guys. I know what theyre looking for, what theyre trying to do." San Diego came back and tied it when Jesus Guzman beat out an infield single and scored on Venables one-out double to centre.

OF Ryan Ludwick remains "a ways off" from returning, Baker said.
