A day after winning an 11-home run thriller 16-11, the Padres overcame a 4-0 deficit with three runs in the fifth and three in the eighth.
MEXICO CITY — Matt Carpenter capped an eighth-inning rally with a tiebreaking, two-run double off the glove of diving centerfielder Mike Yastrzemski, and the San Diego Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 6-4 on Sunday for a two-game sweep of Major League Baseball's first regular-season series in Mexico City.
J.D. Davis went deep in the second and Mitch Haniger homered in a two-run third that included an RBI single by Yastrzemski, who is headed to the injured list. Tyler Rogers , who allowed Manny Machado's go-ahead, two-run homer a day earlier, couldn't hold the lead and lost for the second straight day. Nelson Cruz struck out and Carpenter fouled off three straight pitches before lofting Doval's fourth straight 100 mph-plus offering into short center. Yastrzemski sprinted in and dived but the ball popped out of his glove as Bogaerts and Cronenworth scored.
