The A’s hammered Dylan Cease, tagging him with career-worst 9 earned runs in 4 innings after the Padres staked him to a 3-0 1st inning lead- to beat the Padres 10-4 on Tuesday night.
 

JJ Bleday, who also homered in the game, and Gio Urshela had 3 RBI each for the Athletics. Oakland’s 5-6-7-8 hitters- Bleday, Miguel Andujar, Jacob Wilson and Ursela- went 8-15 with 7 RBI.
 

The win was the 1st one in 5 games at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, their home for the next 3 seasons before they move to Las Vegas.
 

Cease (1-1) gave up 6 runs with 2 outs in the 1st and allowed 9 runs on 9 hits while walking 3 just 4 innings.
 

Manny Machado went deep for the 1st time this season to make it 1-0 in the 1st. Yuli Gurriel added an RBI double.

Pads’ Left fielder Oscar Gonzalez let Jacob Wilson’s single roll past him for a 2-run error in the 4th inning.

Fernando Tatis Jr., and Jake Cronenworth each  left the game early tonight after hurting themselves while swinging the bat. Cronenworth came out of the game in the 3rd inning and Tatis left in the 5th.
 

Tatis had left shoulder pain from a slide and Cronenworth had cramps from a rib injury, manager Mike Shildt said.
 

The Pads had already placed star CF Jackson Merrill on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain before the game.
 

The Padres had beaten the A’s 8 straight times- including last night- before tonight’s game

The Padres came all the way back from being down 7-3 after 2 innings to score the go-ahead run in the 9th inning, grinding their way to a gritty 8-7 win over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field in Sunday’s series finale.
 

Luis Arraez had 4 hits, Jackson Merrill homered and drove in 2 runs, the Pad-pen was absolutely stellar again, and the result was victory #8 on the season for the Padres. (8-2)
 

With runners on 1st and 2nd in the 9th, Manny Machado hit a grounder to shortstop that should have ended the inning. 2nd baseman Nico Hoerner’s throw to 1st got past Justin Turner, allowing Fernando Tatis Jr to score from 2nd with the go-ahead run.
 

Tatis was on base after grounding into what also would have been an easy double-play ball, just not with him running. Fernando beat out the relay to 1st, went to 2nd on Arraez’s single, then raced all the way home on the Cubs’ 2nd throwing error of the game.
 

Elias Diaz singled to start the inning. Brandon Lockrodge ran for him, and was forced out on Tatis’ ground ball.
 

Gavin Sheets drove in the tying run with 2 outs in the 8th.
 

Kyle Tucker homered and drove in three runs and Hoerner added 3 hits for the Cubs, who had their 5-game win streak snapped.
 

Closer Robert Suarez pitched a perfect 9th  to pick up his 4th save.
 

The Padres bullpen- after Gillaspie- was sensational again- with Adrian Morrison, and Closer Robert Suarez combining to go 4 1/3 innings, giving up no runs on just 1 hit, and 2 walks allowed while striking out 7 batters.
 

Started Kyle Hart lasted just 2:3 of an inning, giving up 5 earned runs while walking 4 and allowing 2 hits.
 

The Cubs scored 5 runs in the bottom of the 1st. Hart (1-1) walked the 1st 2 hitters, Tucker singled, Justin Turner had a sac fly and Hoerner doubled to tie it.
 

Logan Gillaspie, called up from Triple-A El Paso before the game, replaced Hart and was called for 2 balks while pitching to Carson Kelly, scoring two runs.
 

Merrill crushed a 2-run shot off Brown in the 4th. The 2nd-year center fielder drove in his 100th career run today.
 

The Padres lost the 1st 2 games of this series after starting the season with 7 straight wins for the best start in franchise history.
