Holding a 10-0 lead and only four outs away from the 18th perfect game in major league history, and the first since 2004, Young surrendered the homer to Kapler. The no-doubt-about-it blast went into the stands down the line in left, Kapler's eighth, ending Young's bid for a perfect game, no-hitter, and shutout.

Young (5-5) struck out five and gave up two hits while throwing just 96 pitches. Kevin Kouzmanoff homered, drove in two runs and scored twice, and Chase Headley also homered and scored twice for the Padres, who forged a split in the series.

Manny Parra (10-7) gave up six runs -- only one earned -- on six hits in five innings.

The Brewers shoddy fielding continued to hurt them, as they committed two costly errors in a five-run third inning for the Padres. Milwaukee has lost five of seven, and failed to take advantage of the simultaneous stumbling by NL Central-leading Chicago, which lost again on Sunday and holds a four- game lead over the Brewers.
 

Milwaukee's lead over Philadelphia in the NL wild card race stood at 4 1/2 games entering play Sunday. The Phillies play a doubleheader against the Mets in New York on Sunday.
