Manny Machado homers late to pad Padres' lead after Fernando Tatis Jr. scores on strange throwing error
But, really, they won Tuesday night because of a heady stolen base by Ha-Seong Kim, some small ball executed by slumping Austin Nola and a couple free bases from Twins catcher Christian Vazquez.
Trent Grisham followed with a walk, and while Austin Nola was at the plate squaring to bunt, Kim took advantage of third baseman Jose Miranda playing in to steal an uncovered third base. Tatis took off with Jake Cronenworth batting and easily beat a bounced throw to second from Vazquez, which prompted Tatis to sprint to third as the ball skipped into center field.
The Padres had nine hits, a career-high-tying four by Soto, and went 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position. He finished his third quality start of the season – in fact, his third time going six innings and allowing one or zero runs — having thrown 91 pitches.
