It only took two pitchers for the Padres to beat the Brewers, but they were assisted by an early onslaught of offense in the first four innings. Ruben Salinas drove in the first run of the game with an RBI double, while Victor Acosta followed with a single to drive him home. A bases-loaded balk in the second inning scored another run, and Jackson Merrill‘s single to right field scored two more runs.
Henry Baez started on the mound for the Padres and pitched four innings while allowing just a single unearned run while striking out four Brewers.
