ATLANTA (AP) --- Rookie Jim Jarvis drilled a run-scoring double into the
right-field corner to give Atlanta the lead in a six-run eighth inning and the
Braves survived a ninth-inning scare to beat the San Diego Padres 7-6 on
Wednesday night.
With one out in the eighth, Mauricio Dubn singled off left-hander Wandy
Peralta (1-1). Jarvis followed with the double that allowed Dubn to score from
first base for a 2-1 lead.
Brewer Hicklen drove in Jarvis with a double to left field. Ozzie Albies, Matt
Olson, Austin Riley and Dominic Smith added run-scoring singles off Randy
Vsquez. The Braves collected seven of their 14 hits in the inning.
Right-hander Vctor Mederos gave up a run-scoring single to Gavin Sheets and a
two-run triple to Fernando Tatis Jr. in the ninth. Raisel Iglesias gave up a
two-run homer to Luis Rengifo before recording the final two outs for his 20th
save.
Dylan Lee (5-0) pitched a scoreless eighth.
San Diego right-hander Michael King opened the game with two strikes to Drake
Baldwin before loading the bases with three straight walks. A grounder to first
base by Michael Harris II drove in Baldwin for a 1-0 lead that held until the
seventh inning.
King regrouped to allow one run with four walks and seven strikeouts in six
innings.
Jackson Merrill tied the game with a homer to center field off Didier Fuentes
in the seventh.
Braves left-hander Martn Prez, who suffered a left forearm contusion when he
was hit by Juan Soto's liner on July 5, was reinstated from the injured list to
start the game. Prez gave up one hit with four walks in four scoreless innings.
Right-hander JR Ritchie was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett.
