CINCINNATI (AP) Anthony DeSclafani pitched eight innings and singled with the bases loaded on Sunday, helping the Cincinnati Reds wrap up their weekend dedicated to Pete Rose with a 3-0 victory over the San Diego Padres.

Until Sunday, the only thing missing from the hit king gala was a win. The Reds' top starter took care of it in front of Cincinnati's third straight sellout crowd.

DeSclafani (2-0) gave up five singles, struck out five, and didn't allow a runner to reach second base. He also hit an RBI single in the sixth inning off Luis Perdomo (2-3). His first hit of the season snapped an 0-for-48 slump by Reds pitchers.
