SAN DIEGO (AP) — Rookie Brett Sullivan hit his first home run and had his first four RBIs, and Juan Soto hit a three-run double to make up for a baserunning blunder that cost Xander Bogaerts a club-record on-base streak as the San Diego Padres beat the Reds 7-1 to take two of three.
Seth Lugo pitched six strong innings for the Padres, who have won 7 of 10 heading into a home weekend series against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers.
It’ll be the teams’ first meeting since the Padres eliminated the 111-win Dodgers in four games in the NL Division Series.
