SAN DIEGO -- Zack Greinke doesnt have fond memories of his last outing at Petco Park. His return went off without hitch. Greinke allowed one run in eight sharp innings, Adrian Gonzalez ended a wild Edinson Volquezs no-hit bid with a homer in the sixth and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 6-1 Saturday night. In his first outing in San Diego since breaking his collarbone in a brawl with Carlos Quentin April 11, Greinke had a season-high eight strikeouts. He allowed four hits and only pitched to two batters over the minimum through seven innings in his longest outing of the season. "When hes spot on with command, Zack is a fun pitcher to watch," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Location is such a big thing with him, and it was clear he was locked in. What you saw today is what we expect from a pitcher of his calibre. Hopefully he can keep going like this and help us turn things around." Mattingly hopes the Greinkes outing inspires his team to play better and live up to its vast potential -- and lift the team out of last place in the NL Central. "I do think the team has been lacking confidence," Mattingly said. "If tough when you dont win and youre stuck in last place and youre not putting up runs with consistency. When you go into that clubhouse and theres no victory music playing too often, it wears on your confidence. "A win like this is what were capable of when we put it all together," Mattingly added. "Hopefully itll help us gain some confidence as a club and help us get on a little run here." San Diegos home winning streak was snapped at eight. Volquez did not allow a hit until Gonzalez, the former Padres first baseman, led off the sixth with his ninth home run. But the Padres right-hander allowed a run in the fifth on three walks and a fielders choice by Skip Schumaker. Volquez lost for the first time in six starts. Volquez allowed five runs -- three unearned -- and walked a career-high seven in 5 2-3 innings. "Volquez had a good moving fastball working for him, but he got away with them swinging at a lot of balls outside the strike zone," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Eventually, the Dodgers walked. It finally came back to haunt him." The Padres remain the only major league team without a no-hitter. Hanley Ramirez put the game out of reach with a solo home run in the seventh he launched into the third deck in left field that made it 6-0. Quentin was 0 for 3 with two strikeouts against Greinke. The matchup didnt enhance Greinkes motivation. "I dont think much about it," Greinke said. "It seems like you guys do, but its just baseball to me. It felt like any other start." Greinke didnt allow a hit until the fourth, when Chase Headley singled to right. He didnt allow a run until the eighth, when Jesus Guzman doubled in Yasmani Grandal from second base. Kenley Jansen pitched a scoreless ninth and the Dodgers won for just the fourth time in 13 games. Theyre still mired in last place, but the win picked up the spirits of a floundering club. "You hope this is the start of something special, a run that gets us back into the thick of things," Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said. "Then again, weve thought that before and said that before and it hasnt happened. We just need to go do it. Its time for us to start playing better." Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig went 0 for 3 with two walks, marking just the third time in 18 games that he hasnt gotten a hit. NOTES: Dodgers LHP Chris Capuano will starting Sundays game against the Padres on short rest.
