The home run was Taylor's tenth of the season. The Padres best opportunity to score came in the sixth when Daniel Robertson led off the inning with a double followed by a walk to Dean Anna to put two runners on base with no outs. Former Tucson Padre Evan Scribner then came into pitch for Sacramento and struck out two of the three batters he faced to end the threat.
