Fernando Tatis Jr. opened a tight match on Saturday with a three-point circuit and the San Diego Padres equalized their weekend series against the Royals of Kansas City on visit, winning a 5-1 victory.
Tatis broke a sequence of 101 appearances on the plates without a circuit, dating from May 27, making a quick ball of Taylor Clarke at 380 feet in the seats in the field of the center left with two withdrawals. It was his 14th circuit of the year, marking Jose Iglesias and Bryce Johnson, who chose an outing.
Dylan ceases (3-6) won the victory, granting only three strokes and a 6 2/3 round race, with three ball goals and four stick withdrawals. Noah Cameron (2-3) absorbed the defeat, allowing two points on five strokes and three goals on balls in 5 1/3 rounds while doing two.
San Diego initiated the scoring in the second. Gavin Sheets led with a double to the wall in the center left and reached third place on the single of Xander Bogaerts. Jake Cronenworth then struck the choice of a defensive player who marked leaves.
The Royals equaled it in the third when Drew Waters started with a simple and scored on the double of John Rave in the center. But they failed to capitalize on a chance for a larger round. Maikel Garcia drew a march with two withdrawals, but Vinnie Pasquantino ended in the second, failing the men in the second and third.
The paadres were countered in their half of the third. After Martin Maldonado and Tatis worked on an outing, Luis Arraez pushed a simple in the center that marked Maldonado, putting them for good.
Kansas City missed a good opportunity in fourth row when Jac Caglianone was cut by land with a withdrawal and Mark Canha chose. But the waters were aligned and Rave fled, starting a section which saw the last of the last 11 of the last men he faced before Jeremiah Estrada was raised in the seventh.
Bogaerts finished with two strokes, giving him 10 strokes in his last 12 bats dating back to Wednesday evening. He was the only player in the game with several strokes.
