The Padres got a much needed victory on Saturday, defeating the Red Sox 3-2. Randy Vasquez delivered a quality start, allowing just one earned run in six innings of work. The drama began in the bottom of the 8th inning with the Padres leading 2-1. Adrian Morejon gave up back to back singles to begin the inning, followed by striking out Trevor Story. Red Sox manager Alex Cora pinch hit for former all star left-handed hitter Jarren Duran, bringing in Andruw Monasterio. On the 9th pitch of the at-bat, Monasterio grounded it back to Morejon, who threw to Jake Cronenworth for what looked like an inning-ending double play. But Cronenworth dropped the ball, and was only able to get the out at second base, allowing the runner on third to score and tie the game at two. In the top of the 9th, Fernando Tatis Jr. blasted a 2-out double to centerfield, and Ramon Laureano followed with an RBI-single to put the Padres back on top. Mason Miller came in to close things out in the 9th inning, and struck out the side. Walker Buehler will draw the start for the Padres on Sunday.
