SAN DIEGO — Gary Sanchez hit a grand slam in a five-run first inning and Manny Machado added a two-run double in the second against struggling Jack Flaherty to help the San Diego Padres beat the AL-leading Baltimore Orioles 10-3 on Tuesday night.
Sanchez's fifth career slam came three pitches after Flaherty issued a third straight walk, to Jake Cronenworth to force in the inning's first run. Sanchez then connected into the whiskey deck atop the wall in right center for the Padres' first grand slam of the season. It was Sanchez's 16th homer this season, all since he was picked up off waivers from the New York Mets on May 29.
Manager Bob Melvin said the Padres"made a really good pitcher work, for two innings, really, on 70 some pitches. Made him work to where Gary's up there just trying to get a good pitch to hit, not trying to do too much, a lot of stuff's away to the righties. Someone talked to me today about the last time we had a grand slam. I'm glad they did.”
Wacha held the Orioles to three hits in five scoreless innings, struck out five and walked one. He got out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth with consecutive strikeouts.
