SAN DIEGO — Adam Kennedy was impressive with his bat and his glove.

Kennedy tied his career high with four hits, including a home run, and scored three times as the Oakland Athletics beat San Diego, 6-3, last night, continuing the Padres' interleague woes.

Kennedy also made some nice plays at second base, including bare-handing Tony Gwynn Jr.'s drag bunt opening the Padres' first and throwing him out, then starting a double play in the eighth inning with Adrian Gonzalez coming up.

"From the first play of the game it was just his game," manager Bob Geren said. "He took away a hit from Tony Gwynn on a spectacular play."

Kennedy said his defense "hasn't been great so far this year, but I'm better than that I know that. Having a game like this, it wasn't the best for me but it was a good one."

Kennedy and Jack Cust hit back-to-back homers with two outs in the eighth off Greg Burke.

San Diego dropped to 1-7 in interleague play, the worst in the majors. On Wednesday night, the Padres extended their big league record to 13 straight interleague losses by falling 4-3 to Seattle. San Diego snapped that streak by beating the Mariners, 4-3, in 10 innings the following day.

Oakland won for the third time in four games.

Kennedy hit his sixth home run. Cust then drove a 1-0 pitch into the seats in left-center for his 13th.

Kennedy helped give the A's a 4-3 lead an inning earlier. He hit a leadoff single against Cla Meredith (4-1), advanced on Cust's fly out and scored when Baldwin High grad Kurt Suzuki singled after Jason Giambi was intentionally walked.

"It was just one night. I had some decent at-bats," Kennedy said.

NOTES

Mariners: Outfielder Endy Chavez is done for the season and likely won't be ready when spring training begins next year following a violent collision that tore a pair of ligaments and cartilage in his right knee. Chavez was injured in Friday night's 4-3 win over Arizona while going for a pop fly, and colliding with shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt.

Reds: Shortstop Alex Gonzalez is back on the disabled list, this time with bone chips in his throwing elbow. Cincinnati put Gonzalez on the 15-day disabled list yesterday, a day after he felt pain on a swing during batting practice. Gonzalez missed last season with a compression fracture in his left knee. He missed nine games in May with strained muscles in his left side.

Red Sox: Pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka will skip his next turn in the rotation on Thursday because of weakness in his right shoulder, and could be headed to the disabled list. Manager Terry Francona said an MRI exam showed no structural damage, though there was a weakness and "we're going to have to fix it."
