Nelson Cruz becomes second-oldest player to ever homer for the Padres in loss to Diamondbacks
The 42-year-old designated hitter homered in the fourth inning of Tuesday’s 8-6 loss to the Diamondbacks, the 460of his career and his first since taking Sean Manaea deep at Petco Park last August while with the Nationals.AdvertisementCruz went on to hit .234/.313/.337 over 507 plate appearances with Washington last year. He underwent surgery on his inflamed right eye after the season and signed a $1 million deal to continue his career with the Padres.
But Manny Machado, getting a day off his feet as the DH, was ejected in the first inning after his pitch-clock-violation punchout and Cruz replaced him in the fourth and pulled a first-pitch fastball from Zac Gallen over the wall in left, a 380-foot blast that opened a 2-0 lead.
