France homers, Sears wins season debut as Padres beat Braves 5-2 for 3-game
sweep
By BERNIE WILSON
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Ty France homered and JP Sears won his season debut for the
San Diego Padres, who beat the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves 5-2 on Wednesday
night for a three-game sweep.
The Padres have won five of seven heading into a home weekend series against
the NL-West leading Los Angeles Dodgers. The Padres lost two of three when the
Dodgers visited in mid-May. The Dodgers lead the Padres by nine games.
France homered to left off Martn Prez leading off the third, his ninth. He
hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth and doubled leading off the sixth, scoring on
Samad Taylor's two-run single.
Prez (6-4), who pitched for the Padres part of 2024, saw his streak of four
straight wins ends. He allowed three runs and four hits in four innings, struck
out four and walked four.
Sears (1-0) was cruising with a four-hitter before allowing Joey Bart's two-run
home run with two outs in the sixth. It was his third and came with Austin
Riley aboard on a walk.
Sears allowed two runs and five hits in 5 2/3 innings, struck out five and
walked two. He was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday after right-hander
Lucas Giolito went on the injured list. Sears was obtained from the Athletics
along with Mason Miller in one of San Diego's five trade deadline deals on July
31.
Jason Adam pitched the ninth for his second save.
Xander Bogaerts hit an RBI single in the fifth, when the Padres stole three
bases.
