Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Oliver Perez pitched 6 1/3 shutout innings to lead the San Diego Padres to a 2-1 win over the Chicago Cubs in the finale of a three-game series at Wrigley Field.

Perez (1-2) captured his first win in five starts this season. The 21-year-old scattered six hits, struck out six and walked two. Luther Hackman and Mike Matthews both pitched one-third of an inning, while Jaret Wright hurled two innings of one-run ball for his second save.

Keith Lockhart had an RBI double and Ryan Klesko contributed a run-scoring single for San Diego, which has won two straight after a six-game skid.

Matt Clement (2-2) had won his last two decisions but gave up two runs and six hits over seven innings of work for the loss. Tom Goodwin went 2-for-4 with a run scored and Eric Karros had a pair of hits in the loss.

Moises Alou went down looking in the first inning with a runner on third to end any scoring chances in the frame for the Cubs.

San Diego then took the lead with a pair of runs in the third inning. Ramon Vazquez singled off Clement leading off the inning and crossed the plate on Lockhart's double to deep left-center field. Klesko then plated Lockhart with a base hit to center.

Chicago threatened again in the seventh but came up short. Alou struck out and Karros doubled to right field. Karros then moved to third after Ramon Martinez singled to left and Hackman relieved Perez. Hackman struck out Damian Miller and Matthews took the hill. Lenny Harris then popped out to end the inning.

The Cubs reached the scoreboard in the eighth. Wright was toeing the rubber and Goodwin reached on an infield single. Goodwin then moved all the way to third on a wild pitch and came home when Mark Grudzielanek grounded out to shortstop.

Wright pitched the ninth and got Alou to fly out. Karros then grounded out and Troy O'Leary struck out swinging to end the game.
