Third baseman Rosman Verdugo plated the first tally with a sacrifice fly. In the second, first baseman Addison Kopack provided a sac fly as well, while second baseman Jose Sanabria drove in a run with a sacrifice bunt and shortstop Brandon Butterworth delivered an RBI single on a day when top Padres prospect Leo De Vries was scheduled to rest.
