Ha-seong Kim's three-run homer gives Padres lead in eighth inning; Taylor Rogers earns four-out save
They saved the Padres from their first losing streak in nearly a month. They saved Wil Myers from having to lament a costly blunder. They saved Robert Suarez from shouldering the weight of another lost lead.
Myers also homered, and the Padres have hit five in the past two games after not hitting that many in the previous nine games.“Even in our offense last year the slug wasn’t there,” Myers said. “We get that slug back and be able to put up some bigger innings … that’s one thing we’ve been slightly missing. I think the more we get to playing the more we’ll start to see the ball go over the fence.”
Dansby Swanson’s three-run homer in the seventh sent most of the 40,635 fans at Truist Park into a tomahawk-chopping frenzy. Kim’s eighth-inning blast quieted them.Myers made it 8-6 in the ninth with a sacrifice fly that drove in Hosmer, who was 3-for-5 and took over the league batting average lead from Manny Machado. Trent Grisham’s pinch-hit double cleared loaded bases to make for the final margin.
