SAN DIEGO (AP) – Call them the San Diego Slammers.
Eric Hosmer hit a historic shot that made San Diego the first team in primary league history to launch the Grand Slam in four consecutive games, and the Padres an undeserved run in the tenth inning for a wild 8-7 win over the Texas Rangers. Thursday night.
The Padres swept the house into four games and the house series, with a punch in each.
Hosmer’s direct shot opposite Kyle Gibson with a punch in the fifth innings bounced off the area’s most sensitive right wall and in the seats for a 5-2 lead. Austin Hedges, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Machado participated in Hosmer’s third career slam and fifth home race this season.
Earlier this week, Tatis, Machado and Wil Myers criticized the Rangers.
The Padres’ slams in three consecutive games have been the highest in the primary leagues since 2006 and the highest number in the National League, the Cleveland Spiders in 1895 against the Boston Beaneaters.
Hosmer said the slam series was “amazing, that’s really the case.” We were talking about that before the game, how amazing 3 in 3 games were. The stage came this far and it was really nothing I was thinking about the game, however, as soon as I was returned to the dugout, I thought. Even sweeter is that we left with the victory.
He said he missed a first smart land replacement, but “just tried to get on with my approach, check to blow up anything and find a way to solve problems.”
Parents do an intelligent task by loading the foundations. Everyone does a smart task by not having the take signal. I don’t know, ” said rookie manager Jayce Tingler with a smile.” I don’t know what to say. They create opportunities, they’re under stress in the area, the boys leave the area and we loaded them and they were in a position to hit. “
The San Diego bullpen had another unstable performance, which allowed the Rangers to triumph over deficits twice in the back of the inning. Although Tingler said earlier in the day that veteran reliever Drew Pomeranz was healthy, he later said the left-hander would not be available due to a bloating in the shoulder and day-to-day.
With the score tied to 7 in the tenth and Myers in the second, rookie Jake Cronenworth hit a single to the middle and defenseman Scott Heineman blew the ball, allowing Myers to score.
The Padres won the tenth on Wednesday night at the Machado Grand Slam.
San Diepass needed back-to-back home races from Ty France and Hedges in the eighth inning to go 7-6. Nick Solak hit a house run to start ninth to tie the Rangers’ moment in 7.
Pierce Johnson (2-1) and Luis Garcia (0-1) lost.
But it is possible that the porous enclosure of the Fathers simply does not hold its head. The Rangers tied the game to five with two outs in the seventh against Michel Beez when Danny Santana cleared the score in what was considered a double when the ball came out of the glove of central defender Trent Grisham.
José Treviño hit a soft bachelor opposite Luis Patio in the eighth.
San Diego regained the lead when France and Hedges connected back-to-back house races with a past out against Jesse Chavez.
The Padres Grand Slam playoff began with Tatis’s practice Monday night in Texas, when the 21-year-old star shortsp hit a 3-0 opposing box shot with the Padres leading seven issues in a game that won 14-4. That infuriated the Rangers, and even Tingler wasn’t too happy about the start because Tatis lost a shot sign before making the house run. The next day, Tingler said he rejoiced in the final result.
Myers hit a house race in the 6-4 win in Texas on Tuesday and Machado connected Wednesday night for a 6-3 win.
José Treviño gave the Watchers the lead with a two-run home run against Dinelson Lamet in the fifth.
Lamet kept Texas without a hit for four innings, however, the Rangers increased their pitching and caught up with him in the fifth. Isiah Kiner-Falefa hit a first bachelor and Treviño followed him with his first home race.
Myers’ bachelor in the first Machado.
Rangers manager Chris Woodward called it “probably the toughest defeat I’ve ever had, especially because of how much we fought. We lost 5-2, connected a big house at the beginning, took the lead and returned it. fights in ball clubs like they did, sometimes tonight, to come back and tie him up. It’s hard.”
