Summary
The San Diego Padres kept the pressure on all night before exploding for five runs over the final three innings to beat the Miami Marlins 7-2 and clinch another road victory. Ty France delivered the biggest early blow with a clutch two-out, two-run single before adding another RBI later in the game. Jackson Merrill continued his outstanding road trip with three hits, two doubles, two runs scored and a spectacular throw from center field that erased Otto López trying to take third. But the game may have been won by JP Sears. Entering with two outs in the third inning, Sears completely stabilized the game, tossing 3.1 innings of one-hit shutout baseball to earn the victory after Randy Vásquez battled through an early jam. The Padres added insurance in every late inning, Gavin Sheets drove in a run with a sacrifice fly, Brandon Bowen delivered a huge two-run single, and Jackson Merrill’s defense helped Matt Waldron escape trouble in the eighth. Meanwhile, the Marlins have now lost 11 straight games.
