SAN DIEGO (AP) Adam Rosales singled in the tying run before Santiago Casilla balked home the winning run, and the San Diego Padres rallied to beat the major league-leading San Francisco Giants 7-6 on Saturday night.

The Padres started the decisive rally when Alex Dickerson and Derek Norris singled to open the 10th against Casilla (1-3). Norris stole second before Rosales bounced a single past shortstop Brandon Crawford to tie the game.

With Alexei Ramirez at the plate, Casilla stumbled during his delivery and a balk was called, bringing in Norris with the winning run.

Kevin Quackenbush (6-3) won despite giving up Buster Posey's go-ahead, opposite-field homer leading off the 10th, the Giants' fourth home run of the night.

Posey hit a 91 mph fastball to right field for his 12th homer this season.
