Cronenworth, who signed an $80 million, seven-year contract two weeks earlier, hit a tiebreaking shot off the top of the right field wall with two outs in the fifth inning.
SAN DIEGO — Jake Cronenworth had his first career multi-homer game with two two-run shots and drove in a career-high six runs as the San Diego Padres beat the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers 10-3 Saturday to snap a three-game losing streak.
Cronenworth, who signed an $80 million, seven-year contract two weeks earlier, hit a tiebreaking shot off the top of the right field wall with two outs in the fifth inning off Freddy Peralta and then connected to center field with one out in the seventh off Hoby Milner. He has three homers this year. Cronenworth and Nelson Cruz drew consecutive bases-loaded walks in the eighth after Javy Guerra replaced Varland.
San Diego had lost consecutive games to the Brewers due largely to solid outings by former Padres pitchers Colin Rea and Eric Lauer, as well as Rowdy Tellez's slugging. The Brewers had tied the game when Seth Lugo hit Jesse Winker with a pitch with the bases loaded and two outs in the fourth.
