San Diego Padres

Ryan O’Hearn, Jose Iglesias key Padres rally in ninth; bullpen comes up big in win over D-backs - San Diego Union-Tribune
What he did was hit a game-tying home run leading off the ninth inning against left-hander Kyle Backhus, ending a night of missed opportunities and sparking the Padres to a 3-2 series-clinching victory over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Xander Bogaerts scored the winning run after he followed O’Hearn’s blast with a double, advanced to third on Jake Cronenworth’s sacrifice bunt and scored on a single by Jose Iglesias.

Mason Miller, the marquee acquisition at last week’s trade deadline, mixed a two-out walk among his three strikeouts in the bottom of the ninth to earn his first save with the Padres.

Mason Miller was called on in the bottom of the ninth inning to try to get his first save with San Diego. He faced Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who hit a game-tying homer off him on Tuesday. Miller struck out Gurriel Jr. on three pitches for the first out of the inning. Miller then struck out Tyler Locklear on three pitches and allowed a two-out walk to Alexander. Miller recorded his third strikeout of the inning against pinch-hitter Adrian Del Castillo to seal the win and earn his first save with the Padres.
