Joe Musgrove pitches no-hitter into the 6th, Gary Sánchez homers again as Padres beat Marlins 10-1
MIAMI - Joe Musgrove pitched a no-hitter into the sixth, Fernando Tatis Jr. had three doubles and four RBIs and the San Diego Padres beat the Miami Marlins 10-1 on Thursday.
Recently acquired Gary Sánchez homered for the second consecutive day, helping San Diego to 11 hits after being limited to a two-hitter by three Miami pitchers Wednesday. The Padres finished 5-4 in their nine-game road trip.
Musgrove (3-2) kept Miami hitless until Luis Arraez's infield single. The right-hander allowed a third-inning run, three hits, walked three and struck out three over six innings.
After Arraez's single, the Marlins loaded the bases against Musgrove with no outs. Musgrove induced a double play grounder that began with a force at home and then struck out Yuli Gurriel.
The 30-year-old Musgrove became the first and remains the only Padres pitcher to throw a no-hitter with his outing against the Texas Rangers April 9, 2021.
Consecutive doubles from Ha-Seong Kim and Tatis in the fourth helped erase an eight-inning hitless skid for the Padres and tied it at 1-all. Xander Bogaerts' groundout advanced Tatis to third and Brandon Dixon's sacrifice fly put San Diego ahead.
Sánchez's solo shot in the fifth made it 3-1. Claimed off waivers Monday, Sánchez drove Marlins' starter Jesús Luzardo's fastball over the wall in left. The two-time All-Star has hit safely in the three games since joining his new club.
San Diego broke it open and chased Luzardo with a seven-run sixth. Sánchez's two-run double and Tatis' three-RBI double keyed the outburst.
Luzardo (4-4) gave up five runs, four hits, struck out eight and walked one in 5 1/3 innings.
The Marlins took an early lead on Arraez's sacrifice fly in the third. Jonathan Davi reached on a leadoff walk then stole second and advanced after catcher Austin Nola's throwing error. Joey Wendle walked before Arraez's fly ball to medium left scored Davis.
Miami catcher Jacob Stallings pitched a scoreless ninth around Tatis' third double.
