Cincinnati ? Tim Stauffer earned a win in his major-league debut and helped Bruce Bochy get No. 800.

Stauffer repeatedly pitched out of jams of his own making, and Ryan Klesko hit a three-run homer to send the San Diego Padres to a 7-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday.

San Diego’s eighth victory in 10 games handed Bochy his 800th win as a manager. Only Bobby Cox, Joe Torre and Tony La Russa have more victories with their current clubs.

“To be honest, I haven’t even thought about it,” Bochy said. “I was pulling for Stauff so much.”

Stauffer (1-0), the fourth overall pick in the 2003 draft, calmed himself with deep breaths and made good pitches when it mattered. The right-hander gave up two runs, four hits and three walks in six innings, turning a 5-2 lead over to the bullpen.

The turning point came in the first inning, when Felipe Lopez hit a two-run homer, and the Reds loaded the bases with no outs. Stauffer got a double play for his first great escape, then settled down while family and friends cheered from the first row behind the dugout.

“It really wasn’t nerves,” Stauffer said.

St. Louis — Larry Walker had three of St. Louis’ season-high 19 hits and drove in three runs, backing a strong seven-inning effort by Jeff Suppan. David Eckstein had four hits and an RBI to extend his hitting streak to 12 games for St. Louis.

Cubs 4, Mets 3, 10 innings

Chicago — Derrek Lee homered leading off the 10th to give the Cubs the win on a raw day at Wrigley Field.
