Club overcomes Robert Suarez’s blown save in the 9th inning to stay hot
San Diego Padres pitcher Martin Perez works against the San Francisco Giants during the first inning of a baseball game in San Francisco, Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024. They did it in a familiar way, overcoming whatever might have gotten in their way and winning in extra innings.
But what you do with playoff teams is fret about all the things that could potentially trip them up on the way to a championship.They manufactured a run in the sixth inning and got a go-ahead pinch-hit homer from Fernando Tatis Jr. in the eighth inning and were riding their higher-leverage relievers through three innings until closer Robert Suarez allowed a game-tying homer in the ninth.
Sunday was his second blown save in his past three opportunities. He has not had a clean outing in any of his past eight appearances, and he has a 6.14 ERA over his past 14 games . Right-hander Landen Roupp, making his second career start after spending most of his rookie season in the bullpen, held the Padres scoreless for five innings.
Luis Arraez led off the sixth against Bivens with a single flared into shallow center field and moved to second on a grounder by Donovan Solano that Giants first baseman Mark Canha flubbed. Both runners moved up on Jurickson Profar’s sacrifice bunt and moved another 90 feet apiece on Machado’s sacrifice fly.
He brought in Jeremiah Estrada to face the top of the Giants order. The right-hander struck out the first two batters he faced before Matt Chapman grounded a double off Solano’s glove at first base. The inning ended on a fly ball to center field by Jerar Encarnacion.
