Rengifo's two-run HR lifts Padres past skidding Marlins 4-2, extending Miami's
losing streak to 10
MIAMI (AP) --- Pinch-hitter Luis Rengifo hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the
eighth inning and the San Diego Padres beat Miami 4-2 on Friday night,
extending the Marlins' losing streak to 10.
Ty France and Manny Machado each had two hits for the Padres, who are 3-5 on
their 10-game road trip following the All-Star break. San Diego finished with
five hits but drew seven walks.
The Marlins, who were a season-best 10 games over .500 following their win over
Seattle on July 9, have fallen to 52-52. It is the Marlins' longest slide since
they lost 10 straight in June 2011.
France doubled off Tyler Zuber (0-1) to lead off the eighth. Zuber struck out
Jackson Merrill before Rengifo drove a sweeper from the Miami reliever over the
wall in right to snap a 2-all tie.
Adrian Morejon (8-2) got the last out in the seventh and followed with a
scoreless eighth before Mason Miller closed for his 26th save.
Joe Mack and Heriberto Hernndez homered for Miami's runs.
Machado's RBI single in the fifth put San Diego ahead 2-1. Xander Bogaerts drew
a leadoff walk and advanced on a sacrifice bunt before Machado hit a two-out
line drive that fell in left.
Miami tied in the bottom half on Hernndez's drive, tying him for the team lead
with 14 homers.
Mack put the Marlins on the board in the second when he drove the first pitch
from Padres starter Germn Mrquez over the wall in right for his eighth homer.
The Padres tied it on Merrill's sacrifice fly off reliever Cade Gibson in the
fourth.
Gibson relieved starter Ryan Gusto, who completed the first 3 1/3 innings in
the bullpen game for Miami. Gusto allowed one run and two hits and struck out
four.
Mrquez was on a limited workload and exited after 2 1/3 innings and 37
pitches. The right-hander gave up one run and three hits, while striking out
four and walking one.
