SAN DIEGO -- Austin Hedges drove in three runs with three hits, and Franchy Cordero and Yangervis Solarte homered Monday night as the San Diego Padres defeated the Cincinnati Reds 9-3 at Petco Park to give Luis Perdomo his first win of the season.

Perdomo (1-3), who was making his 11th start of the year, allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.

The Padres scored all nine of their runs in the first five innings against Bronson Arroyo (3-5). The struggling right-handed veteran yielded 13 hits in 4 2/3 innings.

Jose Pirela, Cory Spangenberg, Cordero and Solarte finished with two hits apiece for San Diego. Cordero's first major league homer came in his 15th game. Solarte hit his sixth of the season.

Scott Schebler had two hits and two RBIs for the Reds, who also got two hits apiece from Adam Duvall and Joey Votto.

The Padres spotted Cincinnati two runs in the top of the first, then jumped on Arroyo for seven runs in the first two innings.

The first inning marked the continuance of a bad trend for the Padres. Perdomo retired the first two hitters he faced, then gave up two runs. The Reds loaded the bases on singles by Votto and Duvall and a walk to Eugenio Suarez ahead of a two-run single by Schebler.

The Reds have another bad trend going. They entered the game having given up a major-league-worst 97 homers. By the end of the six-run second, the count had reached 99.

Arroyo hit Spangenberg to open the second. Allen Cordoba singled on a perfectly placed bunt to third ahead of a two-run double into the left field corner by Hedges.

Pirela singled home Hedges.

Cordero followed with a 361-foot, two-run shot to left. Two hitters later, Solarte homered on a 421-foot drive to center, making it 7-2. Solarte had put the Padres on the board in the first with a single after Pirela's double.

The Padres extended their lead to 9-2 with single runs in the fourth and fifth on run-scoring singles by Wil Myers and Hedges.

The white flag for Arroyo came with two outs in the fifth. Arroyo, who entered the game with a 6.25 ERA in 12 starts, saw his ERA jump to 7.01. Padres batters were 13-for-25 (.520) against Arroyo with four doubles, a triple and two homers.

Pirela was 2-for-4 with two runs and a RBI to extend his hitting streak to six straight games. Pirela is 13-for-26 since being recalled from Triple-A El Paso on June 6.

The Reds scored their third run in the seventh on a run-scoring single by pinch hitter Scooter Gennett.

NOTES: The Reds and the Padres had the number two and three picks, respectively, in the first round of the draft Monday. The Reds took INF/RHP Hunter Greene from Notre Dame High in Sherman Oaks, Calif., with the second pick. Greene is 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds. "We do not see prospects like this very often," Reds GM Dick Williams said. "The physical talent is special, but he exhibits great intangibles." ... The Padres then selected LHP MacKenzie Gore, 18, from Whiteville (N.C.) High with the third pick. Gore was 11-0 with two saves and a 0.19 ERA in 74 1/3 innings this season.
