win over Giants
SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Jase Bowen hit his first major league homer, Ty France drove
in three runs and three San Diego Padres pitchers combined on a two-hitter
Friday night in a 7-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants.
San Diego (56-54) sits a game behind the Philadelphia Phillies for the third
and final National League wild card.
In the fourth inning, the 25-year-old Bowen launched a 384-foot solo drive to
left field that put the Padres up 4-0. France added a two-run single later in
the inning before capping the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the sixth.
Manny Machado drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning,
and Luis Campusano extended the lead to 2-0 with an RBI single. Xander Bogaerts
grounded into a double play that scored Jackson Merrill in the third.
Fernando Tatis Jr. got his 150th career stolen base in the fourth, swiping
third for his 26th steal this year.
Bradgley Rodriguez pitched a hitless first inning for the Padres before Yuki
Matsui (2-1) took over. He threw 49 pitches in three innings, both career
highs, while permitting one hit and striking out two. Germn Mrquez earned his
first career save, allowing one hit over the final five innings.
Giants starter Carson Whisenhunt (2-2) gave up six runs and seven hits in 3 1/3
innings.
Up next
Giants RHP Tyler Mahle (3-9, 4.96 ERA) is expected to start Saturday against
Padres RHP Walker Buehler (6-5, 5.13).
