Fernando Tatis Jr. Robs a Grand Slam and Hits 2 Homers in Padres' 5-2 Win over Mets
Tatis also made a leaping catch at the wall and drove in four runs as San Diego won behind Robbie Ray's six strong innings.
On Tuesday at Citi Field, Fernando Tatis led the San Diego Padres to a 5-2 win over the New York Mets, hitting two homers and making a key defensive play in the second inning.
Padres pitcher Robbie Ray earned his first win since joining the team, allowing three hits and striking out four over six innings while surrendering only a homer to Luis Torrens.
Tatis launched his 18th career leadoff homer 452 feet into the second deck against Zac Thornton, then added a two-run shot in the fifth; Manny Machado hit his 24th homer of the season in the ninth.
Reliever Mason Miller struck out two batters in the ninth inning and earned his 31st save, extending the Padres' dominant stretch to an 18-6 record since the trade deadline.
Wednesday's series finale features Padres RHP Michael King facing Mets RHP Robert Stock at Citi Field, with King holding an 8-8 record and 3.41 ERA this season.
