Castellanos hits tying homer in 9th and Machado delivers in 10th as Padres
rally past Cardinals 3-2
SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Nick Castellanos hit a tying, two-run homer with two outs in
the ninth inning and Manny Machado delivered a sacrifice fly in the 10th to
rally the San Diego Padres past the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 on Sunday.
Walker Buehler pitched six solid innings for the Padres, who earned a split of
the four-game series and pulled into a tie with the rival Los Angeles Dodgers
atop the NL West.
Jordan Walker launched a two-run homer for St. Louis in the fourth. Kyle Leahy
allowed only two hits in five shutout innings.
Xander Bogaerts singled against Cardinals closer Riley O'Brien leading off the
ninth. O'Brien struck out the next two batters and got ahead 0-2 on
Castellanos, who then worked the count full and drove the ninth pitch he saw, a
98 mph sinker, to left-center for his second home run in his first season with
San Diego.
