France hits go-ahead homer, Padres beat Blue Jays 8-7
SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Ty France hit the go-ahead home run, Sung-Mun Song and Manny
Machado each drove in two runs and the San Diego Padres beat the Toronto Blue
Jays 8-7 on Saturday night to even the three-game series.
France's 377-foot solo shot off Mason Fluharty (4-1) in the bottom of the sixth
capped the scoring.
Machado's RBI single in the second inning tied it at 4-4 before Song followed
with a two-run single in the third to reclaim the lead. Jake Cronenworth tacked
on an RBI single in the fourth.
The Padres scored two runs in each of the first two innings after Trey Yesavage
issued seven walks --- a franchise record through a game's first two innings.
Yesavage and San Diego starter Walker Buehler combined walked 11 batters before
the end of the second inning.
Bradgley Rodriguez (2-2) pitched 1 1/3 innings for the win, giving up one run
on one hit. Mason Miller earned his 24th save of the season in a scoreless
ninth.
Alejandro Kirk doubled in a run and Andrs Gimnez added RBI groundout before
Jonatan Clase crushed a two-run shot that gave the Blue Jays a 4-2 lead.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a three-run homer that made it 7-all in the sixth.
Buehler allowed four runs and three hits and walked four in two innings.
Yesavage gave up four runs in 1 2/3 innings.
