MILWAUKEE, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- Chris Young retired the first 23 batters he faced Sunday, helping San Diego rout the Milwaukee Brewers 10-1.

His perfect game ended with Gabe Kapler's two-out, solo homer in the bottom of the eighth.

Young (5-5) went the distance, giving up the earned run and just two hits with no walks and five strikeouts.

San Diego's Chase Headley and Kevin Kouzmanoff hit solo homers.

Sean Kazmar's three hits led a 14-hit attack. Three players had two hits and Young was one of three with one hit for the Padres, who had lost two in a row.

Mat Gamel had the other hit for the Brewers, who remained 3 1/2 games back after the National League Central-leading Chicago Cubs lost 4-3 to Cincinnati.

Losing pitcher Manny Parra (10-7) gave up six runs and six hits, but only one run was earned because of two errors by Milwaukee third baseman Bill Hall.
