Padres go (1-0-1) in Split Squad action on Tuesday

The San Diego Padres were split up on Tuesday afternoon for their split-squad games against the Seattle Mariners and the Chicago White Sox. 

In Peoria the Padres hosted their Spring Training facility partners in the Seattle Mariners, and featured the likes of Ian Kinsler, Eric Hosmer Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr., and Francisco Mejia to name a few of the top names in the Padres organization. On the hill for the Padres against the Mariners was former first round draft pick Cal Quantrill. Quantrill, who is being considered as a potential rotation arm, started off strong as he pitched two innings of scoreless, two-hit ball to get the game started. In his third and final inning he gave up a leadoff homerun to Mariners' center fielder, Jake Fraley, who would end up finishing his day 2-for-2 at the plate with three RBIs. Fraley's home run was the only run Quantrrill surrendered in his three innings of work to give the Mariners a 1-0 lead after 2 1/2 innings.

In the bottom of the third inning the Padres brought their bats alive by putiing up three runs off local San Diegan, Mike Leake. Padres prospect Hudson Potts got the inning started with a leadoff single, followed by a Josh Naylor double to deep right field to give the Padres runners on the corners with no outs. Veteran Ian Kinsler would deliver next with a single to right field that plated Potts, followed by an Eric Hosmer double to center field that scored Naylor. Kinsler would score on a Manny Machado reach on an error and the Padres would have a 3-1 lead after three frames. 

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Manuel Margot went back to back with Francisco Mejia, who led the inning off with a home run. Padres would have a 5-1 lead headed to the 5th inning.

After working a 1-2-3 4th inning , Bryan Mitchell ran into some trouble in the 5th when he allowed a three run home run off the bat of Domingo Santana, after allowing back to back walks. Mitchell would finish his line with 2 1/3 innings pitched, allowing four runs on three hits, walking three batters and striking out one. Mariners would tie it up in the 6th inning at 5 on a Jake Fraley double.

Padres retook the lead in the 6th inning on a Francisco Mejia double, his third hit of the afternoon.

Seattle would threaten in the 9th inning as they took the lead by one, by scoring twice off of Robert Stock despite not recording a single hit in the inning. 

Down to their final strike in the 9th, Owen Miller for the Padres hit a solo shot off Justin Dunn to give the Padres a tie with the Mariners 7-7.

Meanwhile...at Camelback Ranch...

The other Padres played the Chicago White Sox in what ended up being a 7-4 Padres win. Logan Allen started on the mound for the Padres and pitched well enough to win the game, even though he had to exit the game early after a line drive struck him in the leg. It was said to be precautionary.

Updates from the clubhouse: Luis Urías was scratched as a precaution due to general fatigue in both hamstrings and will be re-evaluated tomorrow. Logan Allen was also removed from today's game for precautionary reasons. #PadresST

Speaking of precautions, Padres infielder Luis Urias was a late scratch from the lineup today as a precaution due to general fatigue in both hamstrings and will be re-evaluated tomorrow. 

As far as the game was concerned, the Padres jumped out to a 5-0 lead on the White Sox, with the main highlight being an RBI single by Wil Myers in the fourth inning. 

Chicago would rally back and make it a 5-4 game in the 6th inning, but the Padres pushed ahead in the 7th and 8th with a run in each to take a 7-4 lead. Dietrich Enns came on in the 9th to record his third save of Spring Training for the Padres.
