Moreno allowed just one run on three hits and did not walk any batters. An error and an RBI groundout helped to half the Padres deficit. Jose Sanabria and Maikol Munoz homered for the Padres, tying the game at four. Estuar Suero scored on a wild pitch to put the Padres ahead. However, Baltimore finally got to Moreno, tying the game in the eighth inning. Munoz, whose home run tied the game in the sixth, walked it off with a single in the ninth. It was an exciting game for the Padres, who took advantage of four errors by the Orioles.

The Padres also took advantage of four errors from the Royals, as three of the seven Padres runs were unearned. The Padres were down to their final out with the tying run in the on-deck circle before four straight hits put them ahead. Carlos Rodriguez brought Edwin Rojas and Ruben Salinas home to take the lead. The Royals hit back-to-back doubles but failed to score a run before eventually working their way out of a bases-loaded jam.
