Overview

  • Ryan O'Hearn launched a first-inning grand slam as San Diego totaled three home runs in the rout.
  • Randy Vásquez allowed one hit and two walks over seven innings, retiring his final 14 batters as Wandy Peralta and Yuki Matsui completed a four-hit shutout.
  • Luis Arraez added a two-run homer off the right-field foul pole and José Iglesias tacked on a solo shot in the eighth.
  • The victory extended the Padres’ winning streak to four a night after they clinched a postseason berth in 11 innings.
  • Brewers lefty Bruce Zimmermann lost in his Milwaukee and season debut, and Milwaukee’s magic number for MLB’s best record sits at two as the series concludes Wednesday with Quinn Priester facing Dylan Cease.
