SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Manny Machado singled in the tying run in the eighth inning
and Ty France's sacrifice brought in the go-ahead run for the San Diego Padres,
who beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 on Sunday to take two of three.
The Padres won for just the fifth time in 16 games and pulled back to .500 at
48-48.
The defending American League champion Blue Jays head into the All-Star break
at 45-51.
Machado's third single brought in Xander Bogaerts, who hit a leadoff single
against Jeff Hoffman (5-6) and stole second. Machado advanced on Gavin Sheets'
groundout and was replaced by Jase Bowen, who stole third and scored on
France's sac fly.
Mason Miller, San Diego's only All-Star, retired the side in the ninth on eight
pitches for his 25th save.
The Blue Jays had gone ahead 4-3 on Jonatan Clase's RBI single with two outs in
the eighth.
Adrian Morejon (7-2) got the win.
Toronto's Nathan Lukes homered on Germn Mrquez's sixth pitch, his fifth.
San Diego rallied for three runs to take the lead during the eventful second
inning, when Padres hitting coach Steven Souza Jr. was ejected by plate umpire
Jen Pawol for protesting from the dugout after Sung-Mun Song's ABS challenge
was denied. Song ended up drawing a bases-loaded walk for a 2-1 lead.
Two batters later, Blue Jays manager John Schneider came out to argue after
Pawol called a balk against Kevin Gausman that brought in the third run.
Gausman loaded the bases with no outs on two singles and a walk before Jake
Cronenworth punched an opposite-field single to left to tie it at 1.
Toronto All-Star Clement hit a two-run homer off the Western Metal Supply Co.
