SAN DIEGO—Rich Aurilia homered off Chris Young in the seventh inning to keep Tim Lincecum perfect this season and give the San Francisco Giants a 1-0 win over the San Diego Padres on Thursday night.

Young (1-2) allowed two hits in seven innings while striking out 10, but couldn't keep the Padres from tumbling into sole possession of last place in the NL West. The Padres have lost eight of nine and were swept in this two-game series.

Lincecum (4-0) extended his scoreless streak to 16 1-3 innings and lowered his ERA to 1.23. He allowed four hits in 6 1-3 innings, struck out nine and walked five. Brian Wilson pitched the ninth for his seventh save in eight chances.
