Profar homers, doubles and singles in first start with team he played for from 2020-22; Seth Lugo fails to get through fifth inning
Jurickson Pofar carried the bat with him as he walked almost halfway up the first base line watching the ball he had just hit as it sailed high and far and straight in front of him toward the right field wall.
Seth Lugo was charged with four of those fifth-inning runs and six in all, as he failed to go at least five innings for just the fourth time in 23 starts. As if it matters when the inevitable happens, Saturday’s loss put the Padres on the verge of being officially eliminated in the NL West. The next Dodgers’ victory or Padres’ loss will do that.
There was no threat in the third inning. There was merely Yordan Alvarez stepping to the plate with two outs and sending the first pitch he saw 407 feet to the second deck of seats beyond right field to break a scoreless tie. The Astros got one run back on a walk, a single and a fielder’s choice grounder in the fourth. They took the lead on two singles and two doubles that hopped the wall in the fifth.
