The Padres lost 1-0 to the Giants in 12 innings in their home opener on Thursday.Pinch-hitter Clint Barmes drew a one-out walk off Jeremy Affeldt (0-1) in the eighth before Myers doubled. 
The throw was up the third base line and Barmes ran into catcher Hector Sanchez's arm before he could field the relay throw from second baseman Joe Panik, knocking his glove several yards down the first-base line. Sanchez was shaken up but stayed in the game.The Giants had pitched 22 consecutive scoreless innings until the eighth.Joaquin Benoit (2-0) pitched a perfect eighth.

Morrow, signed as a free agent in December, struck out seven and walked three. Lincecum struck out five and walked three.Both teams played great defense.

After issuing consecutive walks to open the seventh, Morrow struck out Brandon Crawford and then got Casey McGehee to ground into a double play.Padres second baseman Jedd Gyorko, whose hit into three double plays in two games, made a great over-the-shoulder catch of Gregor Blanco's bloop into shallow center in the eighth.
