Pinch-hitter J.C. Escarra hit a sacrifice fly off Jeremiah Estrada in the bottom of the 10th inning to beat the Padres 4-3- after trailing 1-0 and 3-1- to give the Yankees back-to-back wins- and the series W- when the Padres held the lead in the 7th inning of both games. The Yankees hit a couple of late home runs, 1 by Cody Bellinger & one by Trent Grisham, lighting up the Pads' bullpen for the 2nd straight night.

The Padres had runners on 1st and 3rd with 2 outs in the top of the 10th, but Devin Williams struck out Xander Bogaerts to end the threat and set up the walkout for the Yanks in the house that Jeet and Mo built. Williams- recently demoted as NY's closer- struck out the side in the 10th, getting Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado and Bogaerts between walking Luis Arraez (0-10 in the series) and hitting Jackson Merrill with a fastball on the left forearm.

Dylan Cease (6 2/3, 1 hit, 1 run, 9 K's) was brilliant for the Padres, striking out Aaron Judge 3 times- including with 2 on & 2 out in the 3rd- while dominating the yankees' lineup from top to bottom all night. The one run Cease did give up came on Bellinger's solo homer in the 7th inning (off a chin-high fastball) that tied the game at 1 apiece and sent Yankee Stadium into a frenzy. Cease retired the next hitter for the 2nd out, then had to leave the game after experiencing tightness in his right forearm.

Merril hit a solo home run off Max Fried (7 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 8 K) to make it 1-0 Padres in the 4th inning, and later added an RBI single for his 4th hit in 2 games since coming off the injured list. Merrill was hit by a Williams fastball on his left forearm in the 10th inning.

The Padres scored 2 runs in the 7th to retake the lead 3-1 on Merrill's RBI single and Bogaerts' sacrifice fly. Fernando Tatis Jr. led off with a walk, went to 2nd on Arraez's groundout and scored on Merrill's single. Bogaerts, who has 6 RBI's in his last 4 games, then hit a ball deep enough to score Manny Machado, who had walked.

Jason Adam came on to pitch the 8th, and walked the leadoff hitter before allowing Grisham- who had homered earlier in the series- to chop one over the short porch in right at Yankee Stadium.

Closer Robert Suarez pitched a perfect 9th for the Padres, but was never in a position to pick up the save and add to his MLB-leading total. (14)

The Dodgers beat the Marlins, and the Giants topped the Cubs, so the Padres are now 1.5 games behind the Dodgers, tied with the Giants for 2nd place in the NL West. (LA just played the Marlins & the Giants just played the Rockies - Pads go to Col this wknd)

***** ‘LIVE’ Instant Reaction from Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber

The Padres scored 4 runs with 2 outs in the 8th inning off embattled former closer Devin Williams and current closer Logan Webb- after Fernando Tatis Jr. AND Manager Mike Schildt were ejected following Tatis’ strikeout- to beat the New York Yankees 4-3 in their series opener in the Bronx .

Manny Machado ripped a 2-run double and Xander Bogaerts followed with a bullet for a 2-run single right after Luis Arraez walked- and just like that the Pads had turned their night completely around.

Robert Suarez pitched the 9th to pick up his MLB-leading 14th save.

Ryan Bergert (1-0) got his 1st MLB win with a hitless 7th in back of starter Nick Pivetta, (5-1) who gave up 3 runs (2 earned) on 5 hits in 5 innings of work.

New York starter Carlos Rodón allowed just 3 hits in 6 2/3 scoreless innings, leaving in the 7th with a 3-0 lead.

The Yanks took the lead on Trent Grisham’s 2-run homer in the 3rd, and added another run on Anthony Volpe’s sacrifice fly in the 6th to make it 3-0.

The Padres (23-11) have won 6 games in a row and swept 2 straight series.

The game started about a half hour late because of rain, and there was another half an hour delay with 2 outs in the bottom of the 4th.

The Pads and Yanks play the 2nd of this 3-game series tomorrow night in the house that Jeter and Mo built, with 1st pitch set for 4:05pm PT.

Fernando Tatis Jr. scored the go-ahead run in a wild pitch in the top of the 9th inning, and Robert Suarez slammed the door shut in the bottom half 

Tatis doubled to lead off the top of the 9th, stole 3rd base, (#8) then scored on a slider in the dirt from Pirates Closer David Bednar to put the Pads ahead for good.

Suarez pitched the 9th to pick up his 13th save of the season. Jason Adam (3-0) pitched a perfect 8th to earn the win.


Manny Machado ripped a line drive home run (his 3rd) in the 7th inning to tie the game at a run apiece and make it a battle of the late-inning bullpen guys, and that’s where the Padres have their biggest advantage most teams, with Adam & Suarez.

Yuki Matsui and Andrew Jacob each threw a scoreless inning in relief of starter Randy Vasquez to help the Pads get to Adam and Suarez.

Vasquez gave up just a run on 6 hits while walking 5 in 5 innings. The crafty right-hander kept making the big pitches to get the big outs when he needed them, especially in the 5th Inning when he struck out Alexander Canario to leave the bases loaded after a visit from pitching coach Ruben Niebl.

The Pirates took a 1-0 lead in the 2nd inning on O’Neil Cruz’s RBI single.
