Padres rally past Marlins 6-2 in 10 innings

CBS News Miami Sports

Manny Machado's two-run double in the 10th inning highlighted another late-inning rally for the Padres as San Diego won its sixth consecutive game, defeating the Miami Marlins 6-2 on Friday night.

Machado's double off Brett De Geus (0-1) scored former Marlin Luis Arraez, who had singled, and Jake Cronenworth. Tyler Wade had broken the tie when he beat the throw home on a Cronenworth grounder to shortstop Xavier Edwards.

Jason Adams (7-2) earned the win. Bryan Hoeing struck out one in a scoreless eighth inning two weeks after the Marlins traded him to the Padres along with fellow reliever Tanner Scott. Scott allowed one hit in a scoreless ninth.

The Padres had also rallied Thursday, scoring three runs in the ninth inning to beat Pittsburgh 7-6.

The Padres had tied Miami in the ninth on Jackson Merrill's 400-foot homer to center, his 16th of the season, off Marlins reliever George Soriano, who also gave up Machado's run-scoring double in the eighth.

Marlins starter Edward Cabrera pitched seven shutout innings, his second straight strong start after struggling in his first five outings after missing two months with shoulder tightness. The 26-year-old right-hander gave up four hits, while striking out four and walking three. He pitched five shutout innings on Sunday against the Braves.

Padres are an MLB-best 15-3 since the All-Star break. They are two games games back of the Dodgers in the National League West. Los Angeles was playing later Friday at home against Pittsburgh.

Back-to-back homers to left by Marlins first baseman Jake Burger and designated hitter Jonah Bride leading off the fourth opened the scoring. Burger's 428-foot blast was his 20th of the season and his seventh in his last 10 games. Bride's 395-foot shot was his fourth.

Martin Perez, making his second start for the Padres after being acquired from Pittsburgh at the trade deadline, had his third consecutive quality start overall. He surrendered only the two solo homers and a single, striking out six and walking two in seven innings. He gave up one run Saturday in six innings against Colorado in his debut with the Padres. He also threw six shutout innings against St. Louis in his last start for the Pirates on July 24.

The Marlins traded Arraez to San Diego in May and Scott and Hoeing at the trade deadline, all for prospects as part of the team starting another rebuild. Of the 26 Marlins active Friday, only nine were on the team's active roster on opening day.

Arraez said before the game that he was happy to be back in Miami, where he lives with his wife and three children. As he walked around the field hours before first pitch, he hugged seemingly every Marlins employee he passed from players to trainers to attendants.
