Huston Street pitched the ninth in a non-save situation, allowing Ty Wigginton's RBI double with two outs.
 
Halladay (3-1) walked the bases loaded with one out in the second before Orlando Hudson's grounder to second brought in Yonder Alonso.
 
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the first time in his career that he'd walked three straight batters. It was the eighth time he walked three in an inning.
 
Halladay had walked only four total in his first three starts.
 
Halladay allowed three straight hits with two outs in the third, including Alonso's opposite-field double to left that brought in Chase Headley, aboard on a single.

Halladay went seven, allowing two runs and five hits, striking out five and walking four.
 
San Diego added three runs in the eighth against Michael Stutes. Jason Bartlett hit an RBI double and scored on a triple by Hudson, who scored on pinch-hitter Jesus Guzman's single.
