New acquisition helps Pads win 5th straight

Clayton Richard was impressive in his first start for San Diego, but it took a mistake by Ryan Braun to give the Padres a win.

Richard made a solid impression in his first outing after being included in the Jake Peavy trade and the San Diego Padres took advantage of Braun's outfield miscue to score the go-ahead run in a 4-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday night.

Richard was scheduled to pitch for the Chicago White Sox on Friday night against the New York Yankees. But instead, the 4-for-1 trade on Friday afternoon that sent four pitchers to the Padres for Peavy, the 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner, put Richard en route to San Diego.
