Jake Cronenworth delivered an RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning Friday and the San Diego Padres rallied for a 3-2 win over the visiting Texas Rangers.
Jackson Merrill was placed on second to start the inning and Manny Machado was given an intentional walk. After Luis Arraez fanned for just the eighth time this year, Gavin Sheets singled to center to load the bases.
Reliever Robert Garcia (1-4) whiffed pinch hitter Bryce Johnson for the second out but Cronenworth lofted a 1-1 slider into right field, scoring Merrill for the Padres' fourth win in their last seven extra-inning games.
Adrian Morejon (5-3) pitched the top of the 10th for the win, stranding runners at first and second with one out by inducing consecutive flyouts to right, the last coming off the bat of pinch hitter Sam Haggerty.
Both starters received no-decisions after effective outings. Texas' Kumar Rocker allowed four hits and two runs over 5 1/3 innings, walking two and fanning four. San Diego's Randy Vasquez permitted three hits and two runs in six innings with three walks and a strikeout.
The Rangers initiated scoring in the third with a two-out rally. Josh Smith drew a walk and Corey Seager singled, teeing up Marcus Semien for a two-run double that sailed over the head of leaping right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr.
The Padres got a run back in the fourth with one swing of Machado's bat. He drilled a sinker an estimated 440 feet to the batter's eye beyond the center field wall for his 14th homer.
San Diego tied the game in the sixth. Tatis led off with a triple off the glove of right fielder Adolis Garcia and scored with one out as Arraez greeted reliever Hoby Milner with an RBI single just past Seager at shortstop.
Arraez, Machado, Sheets and designated hitter Trenton Brooks each had two hits for the Padres. Machado is three hits shy of 2,000 for his career.--Field Level Media
