Marlon Byrd went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead two-run double in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Padres.
The go-ahead hit was set up when Padres manager Bud Black elected to intentionally walk Daniel Murphy. Byrd owes an assist to Chris Denorfia, who would have had a legitimate chance to catch the double if he didn't misplay it badly. The veteran outfielder went into a bit of a funk to begin the month, but he has three multi-hit games in his last four, during which he has collected four extra-base hits.
