Fernando Tatis Jr. stole home in the seventh inning and Blake Snell pitched six strong innings as the Padres beat the Orioles 5-2 Wednesday night to take two of three from the best team in the AL.
SAN DIEGO — Fernando Tatis Jr. stole home in the seventh inning to electrify a sellout crowd at Petco Park and big league ERA leader Blake Snell pitched six strong innings as the San Diego Padres beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-2 Wednesday night to take two of three from the best team in the AL.
Tatis slid across the plate and leaped in joy. He hugged Jake Cronenworth on the top step and then went the length of the dugout high-fiving and hugging teammates. Tatis said he noticed that Perez was taking as much time as he could on his first pitch to Soto,"probably trying to execute against one of the best hitters in baseball. Second time around I took just advantage right away and I just went for it.
Said manager Bob Melvin: “I kid with him that he’s a witch and he rides his broom around the bases and that's pretty much what happened there. When he takes off, everybody just gets nervous. Very rarely are you going to see that.”
