Rodolfo Durn homers and drives in 3 to lift Padres to 5-2 win over Orioles

BALTIMORE (AP) --- Rodolfo Durn homered and drove in three runs, Fernando
Tatis Jr. had two RBIs and the San Diego Padres beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-2
on Sunday.
Walker Buehler (4-3) allowed one run in five innings for the Padres, who won
consecutive games for the first time since May 22-23.
Batting ninth and coming in with a .133 batting average, Durn hit a bouncer
off second base for an RBI double in the second inning and added a two-run
homer in the seventh for a 4-1 lead. It was his third career home run, second
in two games, and the three RBIs doubled his season total.
The weekend surge by the seldom-used rookie occurred after San Diego starting
catcher Freddy Fermin was struck on the head by a warmup pitch Saturday and
placed on the seven-day concussion injured list Sunday.
Buehler gave up six hits and struck out five to earn his first win in five
starts since May 16. The Padres are 7-2 when the right-hander throws at least
five innings.
Mason Miller, the fourth San Diego reliever, got four outs for his 19th save.
Jeremiah Jackson hit a solo homer for the Orioles. Trevor Rogers (3-7) took the
loss despite allowing only two runs in six innings.
San Diego used a lucky hop to go up 2-0 in the second. Durn hit a slow
grounder up the middle that Jackson was poised to pick up, but the ball hit the
base and trickled into the outfield.
Tatis followed with a run-scoring single.
Up next
San Diego opens a three-game series in St. Louis on Monday. The Orioles have
Monday off before Brandon Young (5-1, 3.04 ERA) faces the Seattle Mariners to
begin a nine-game trip on Tuesday.
