Overview

  • Kyle Hart, recalled from Triple-A El Paso to replace the injured Michael King, exited after 4.2 innings yielding five runs and two solo homers.
  • Relievers David Morgan and Wandy Peralta allowed five runs in the fifth inning and three more in the eighth, turning a 6-2 edge into a 10-8 deficit.
  • Gavin Sheets provided San Diego’s late spark with an 11th home run in the seventh inning that briefly restored the lead.
  • Closer Robert Suárez appeared in four of the previous five games, leaving the bullpen shorthanded when fresh arms were needed.
  • The loss snapped San Diego’s three-game winning streak at Petco Park and ended their bid for a home series sweep after earlier comeback victories.
