SAN DIEGO – The scoreless drought in America’s Finest City is over, and so is the production outage from Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado as the San Diego Padres beat the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night at Petco Park.
Tatis Jr. had a two-out single as part of a three-run fifth inning for the Padres (23-16), then Machado crushed a solo home run in the eighth inning off St. Louis (23-16) reliever Matt Svanson to snap a 24 at bat hit-less streak to help San Diego take their first of the four game set.
Mason Miller worked around a pair of walks, the first time he’s done so this season, wrangling a quartet of strikeouts and a bases loaded situation in the ninth to notch his 12th save of the season in 1 1/3 innings of work to back up starter Randy Vásquez’s fourth win.
After 21 scoreless innings, Ty France ended the pain by squaring up a first-pitch low sinker and crushing it 405 feet to center field to tie the game. It was the Padres' first hit of the day against St. Louis starter , who took his fourth loss despite limiting San Diego to two earned runs in six innings.
