For just about all of 2023 the Padres have almost made losing games late an artform. On Friday night they flipped their own script.

The Friars, no-hit through six innings, erupted for four of the loudest runs you'll ever hear in the 8th inning of a 4-0 win over Arizona on Friday night at Petco Park, rekindling the hope that maybe ... just maybe ... this team has a late postseason run in them after all. Starter Seth Lugo tossed 6.0 innings of shutout ball with nine strikeouts and the Friars needed it because for some reason Arizona starter Brandon Pfaadt was borderline unhittable. The young righty took a no-hitter into the 7th inning before Juan Soto finally broke it up with a double. But, the Padres didn't score until an inning later.

Gary Sanchez was hit by a pitch then Ben Gamel put down a gorgeous bunt. 1st baseman Christian Walker couldn't get it cleanly, giving Gamel an infield single and the kind of break this team has been looking for all year. Trent Grisham followed with a sac bunt of his own, perfectly dropped down the 3rd base line, to put the got-ahead run at 3rd base with one out, a situation San Diego has struggled mightily with.Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters.
