SAN DIEGO -- After 7,582 games since 1969, the San Diego Padres still dont have a no-hitter.Edwin Jackson, of all pitchers, was the latest to try to pitch an elusive gem -- in his Padres debut, no less.Jackson held San Francisco hitless until Conor Gillaspies three-run homer with one out in the seventh inning, and the Padres held off the Giants 5-3 on Sunday for their first sweep of the season. They beat Johnny Cueto, who also was the losing pitcher in the All-Star Game at Petco Park on Tuesday night.Jackson, making his first start since 2014, and three relievers combined on a two-hitter against the Giants, who despite losing three straight still have the best record in the majors at 57-36.Its great to be here, said Jackson, whos with his 11th big league team. Somewhat of an interesting day to say the least. ... It was definitely a good way to have everything kicked off with a new team. Ive been through a lot of ups and a lot of downs. I believe in what I can do. Ive always believed in what I can do. Its just a matter of going out and proving it once you get in between the lines.After striking out Brandon Crawford to open the seventh, Jackson bobbled Gregor Blancos grounder for an error and then walked Ramiro Pena before Gillaspie homered deep into the seats in right field on a 3-1 fastball. That cut the Padres lead to 4-3.It felt good, Gillaspie said. I wish we could have mustered a few more runs there at the end. All you can do is compete and give it everything youve got.Jackson (1-1) was then pulled. He walked five, struck out four and threw 90 pitches.Until the homer, the Giants hadnt come close to a hit as Jackson kept them off-balance, mostly with his slider.San Diego remains the only big league team without a no-hitter.Jackson pitched a no-hitter in 2010 for Arizona, walking eight and throwing 149 pitches to stop Tampa Bay.The 32-year-old was signed to a minor league deal by the Padres on June 20 after being cut by Miami.

I was like, `Youre gonna have a hard time letting that one go arent you? He was outstanding. Good mix. Slider was really good, mixed in the curveball later on.By the end of it he was like gassed. He gave us everything he had and he was outstanding.Padres catcher Christian Bethancourt worked with Jackson in Atlanta last year.He was aggressive. He was attacking the strike zone, Bethancourt said. I havent seen that Edwin Jackson in a long time, and Im so glad I saw it today. I know he will keep doing it and hell help us win more ballgames.Jackson hit two singles and drove in a run. He also reached on a fielding error by Crawford.Brandon Maurer pitched the ninth for his third save.We just couldnt mount anything offensively until it looked like he tired out there, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.Cueto (13-2) lost for the first time since April 21 against Arizona.
