Ha-seong Kim has second straight big game, Yu Darvish works six innings as Padres win fourth straight
continued on Friday to act like a team that knows what to do when it is on the field with an inferior opponent.
The Padres trailed 2-0 after the first inning, tied the game in the third, took a 4-2 lead in the fifth, went up 6-3 in the sixth and pushed their lead to 7-3 in the seventh. He threw a season-high 98 pitches, and it was something of a struggle for him even before he took a 105.6 mph line drive off the back of his right arm, between the bicep and triceps, in the bottom of the fifth inning.
“He was having nothing to do with coming out of that game,” Melvin said."... Those are usually things you go out there and take a guy immediately out of the game, but he didn’t even want us to come out there. Finding out he’s pretty tough guy.” It got tense for a few moments in the ninth before Taylor Rogers entered in relief of Craig Stammen with one out and two on in the ninth. Rogers retired the next two batters to earn his third save in three games.
In the third, Thompson, the Triple-A home run leader who was called up Thursday to replace the injured Wil Myers, drew a one-out walk in which he saw eight pitches. Kim followed by sending a 2-1 fastball on a line 425 feet to left field to tie the game 2-2.
