ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers took advantage of San Diego miscues to rally for a 4-3 victory over the Padres on Wednesday night.

Texas had just one RBI, with its three other runs coming on a wild pitch, a balk and an error.

With the score tied at 3 in the bottom of the seventh inning, San Diego second baseman Yangervis Solarte's wild throw to first on Elvis Andrus' grounder allowed Delino DeShields to score the go-ahead run.

That run made a winner of Jeremy Jeffress (1-2), who worked a scoreless seventh in relief of Texas starter Yu Darvish. Matt Bush closed out the Padres in the ninth for his second save, working around a two-out double by striking out Cory Spangenberg.

Brad Hand (0-2) took the loss, allowing an unearned run and walking two in one inning.

The Padres powered their way to a 3-1 lead after two innings thanks to solo homers from Wil Myers and Erick Aybar.

Texas, which opened the game 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position, managed to tie the score in the bottom of the fifth with just one hit. Shin-Soo Choo's RBI single cut the San Diego lead to 3-2, and a balk by Perdomo scored DeShields.

The two-run deficit matched the largest comeback victory for the Rangers this season.

Darvish gave up three runs and seven hits in six innings. He struck out six and didn't walk a batter. Padres starter Luis Perdomo set a season high with seven strikeouts while allowing three runs in six innings.

Choo went 3-for-3 and reached base four times. He has now reached eight times in the last two games against the Padres.

The Padres had 10 hits, with the newly acquired Matt Szczur matching his career high with three hits. His RBI double in the second inning accounted for the final San Diego run.

After Myers put the Padres up 1-0 in the first, Choo scored on Perdomo's wild pitch to tie the score in the bottom of the inning.
