CINCINNATI—Jeff Keppinger's one-out double in the 11th inning sent Cincinnati to a 4-3 victory over San Diego on Tuesday night in a rare loss for the Padres against the Reds when Jake Peavy started.

Jay Bruce started the rally with a one-out single off right-hander Bryan Corey (1-3), who gave up Aaron Miles' game-ending grand slam in his last appearance Sunday in St. Louis. Keppinger worked the count full before doubling into the left-field corner for Cincinnati's 10th walkoff win, most in the majors.

Gary Majewski (1-0), the fifth Cincinnati pitcher. retired the three batters he faced in the 11th, getting the victory in a game full of empty swings. The Padres struck out 18 times, the Reds 13.

San Diego's Edgar Gonzalez had three hits, including an RBI single off Johnny Cueto, for his sixth straight multihit game. The rookie second baseman is 14-for-27 during his six-game hitting streak.

Before the game, the Padres traded left-hander Randy Wolf to the Houston Astros for a minor leaguer, another reminder of how far San Diego has fallen from its near-miss with the playoffs last season. The Padres won 89 games last year before losing a one-game playoff with Colorado for the NL wild-card berth.

Peavy, the reigning Cy Young winner, is 6-0 in nine career starts against the Reds with a 2.31 ERA. This time, the Reds wiggled away as one fortune-filled inning came between Peavy and another victory.

Down 3-0, the Reds loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth on a single and two walks. Paul Bako, in a 5-for-48 slump, hit a grounder that bounced in the dirt in front of home plate and found its way through the middle of the infield for a two-run single.

To put it in perspective: Bako struck out in his other four at-bats.

There was more.

Pinch-hitter Joey Votto checked his swing and lined an opposite-field single that tied it at 3. He was smiling broadly at his good fortune when he reached first base.

Peavy had to settle for no-decision and it was up to the bullpens.

The Padres scored three times in the third off the 22-year-old Cueto, who settled down and wound up striking out 10. Brian Giles hit a two-run double in one of his favorite ballparks -- he's a .329 career hitter at Great American -- and scored on a single by Gonzalez.

Cueto gave up four hits, but needed a career-high 120 pitches to get through six innings.

Bruce had two of Cincinnati's seven hits off Peavy, extending his hitting streak to a career-high 11 games.
