Fernando Tatis Jr. goes 5 for 5 and Padres top Rockies 8-7 on Xander Bogaerts'
sac fly in 9th
SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Fernando Tatis Jr. went 5 for 5 with two RBIs in the first
five-hit game of his career, and Xander Bogaerts' sacrifice fly in the bottom
of the ninth inning gave the San Diego Padres an 8-7 victory over the Colorado
Rockies on Tuesday night.
Tatis became the first major leaguer with five singles in a game this season
and the first Padres player to do it since Adrin Gonzlez on Aug. 11, 2009.
Manny Machado had three hits for the Padres, including an eighth-inning single
that was misplayed by right fielder Jake McCarthy for an error --- allowing
Jake Cronenworth to score the tying run.
San Diego loaded the bases against Jimmy Herget (0-4) with nobody out in the
ninth on Jackson Merrill's leadoff single and two walks. Merrill scored on
Bogaerts' fly to center field.
Mason Miller (3-1) struck out all three batters in the top of the ninth to keep
it tied at 7.
