Freddy Fermin hits two-run homer to help back Yu Darvish as Padres beat Giants 4-1
Darvish (2-3) struck out six and didn't walk a batter over six innings, allowing one run on four hits in his seventh start of the season. The right-hander missed more than three months to start the year because of elbow issues. He didn't make his first start until July 7.
Robert Suarez finished for his MLB-leading 33rd save.
Gavin Sheets doubled leading off the seventh and pinch-runner Bryce Johnson entered, scoring the go-ahead run in San Diego's third straight win.
Rafael Devers tied it on a home run in the sixth. Jackson Merrill broke up a scoreless game with an RBI double in the top half among his three hits
Facing San Diego for the third time this year, Webb (10-9) was tagged for four runs on eight hits, struck out three and walked one over 6 1/3 innings. The Giants couldn't muster him support a day after being shut out at home 8-0 by the Nationals.
Key moment
Giants rookie Drew Gilbert blooped a single into shallow left-center for his first major league hit starting the third inning. He was acquired from the Mets on July 31 in the package that sent Tyler Rogers to New York.
He stole second base then was ruled out at third on replay review after the Padres challenged when he was initially called safe.

NEW YORK (AP) — Venus Williams will make her return to Grand Slam tennis at the U.S. Open after a two-year absence, receiving a wild-card invitation on Wednesday to compete in singles at Flushing Meadows at age 45.

Williams already had been given a wild-card entry by the U.S. Tennis Association for next week's mixed doubles competition. Singles matches begin in New York on Aug. 24. She is the owner of seven major singles championships — including at the U.S. Open in 2000 and 2001 — along with another 14 in women's doubles, all won with her younger sister, Serena, plus two in mixed doubles.

David Booth's $300 million gift to Kansas: How it will transform the stadium and Gateway District
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas has received a $300 million gift from donor David Booth, the largest in school history and believed to be among the richest in the history of college sports. Booth, a graduate of Lawrence High School and KU, already has his name on the football stadium. Kansas was expected to allocate $75 million toward the next phase of the renovation of the David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium and additional construction of the surrounding area, called the Gateway District. Kansas athletic director Travis Goff said the remainder of the gift was expected to generate a stream of income for the athletic department that could last for generations. 'There is no more generous and impactful Jayhawk, and we are so fortunate to call him a friend and mentor,' Goff said. The Gateway District's next phase was expected to add a hotel, additional retail and restaurant spaces, student housing, improved parking and an outdoor event plaza. Booth is founder of global investment firm Dimensional Fund Advisors, which managed $853 billion in assets as of June 30. The longtime benefactor made a $50 million pledge in 2017 to help with the overhaul of the football stadium, which at the time was the largest donation in KU history. He has given several other financial gifts to the university, including $4.3 million to buy and donate James Naismith's original rules of basketball. 'KU and Lawrence are a big part of my story, and it means a lot to support the community that invested in me,' Booth said. 'Philanthropy, like investing, pays dividends over time.' The Kansas football team played six games last season in the Kansas City area while the stadium underwent renovations. The Jayhawks are set to play their first game at Memorial Stadium on Aug. 23 against Fresno State.
