Padres score from the 2nd through the 7th, hold off Giants 7-6
The Padres did enough early, then survived a late scare to beat the Giants 7-6 on Saturday at Oracle Park.
San Diego trailed 2-0 after the 1st and still was down after 2, but the game turned when the Padres scored in six straight innings from the 2nd through the 7th. That steady pressure knocked Cesar Perdomo out after 4.2 innings; the Giants starter allowed 10 hits and 5 earned runs in his debut loss.
Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jackson Merrill each homered, Dustin Harris drove in 3 runs, and Xander Bogaerts paced the attack with a 4-for-5 night and 2 runs scored. Jake Cronenworth added an RBI as San Diego finished with 13 hits.
Michael King gave the Padres the length they needed. After San Francisco scored 3 times in the first 2 innings, King settled in and completed 7.0 innings with 5 hits allowed, no walks and 4 strikeouts.
The Giants nearly erased a 7-3 deficit in the 8th when Bradgley Rodriguez failed to record an out and was charged with 3 runs. But Adrian Morejon stopped the rally, and Mason Miller worked a scoreless 9th for his 36th
