The bullpen of Adrian Morejon (2 scoreless innings) and Mason Miller (1 scoreless inning) preserved the victory.
In the top of the first, San Diego's leadoff hitter Merrill drew a walk and Machado moved the runners with a sacrifice bunt to create a one-out, second-base scoring chance. But Andújar and Sheets both grounded out. In the third with two outs, Merrill hit a double but Machado was retired on a fly to right.
In the fourth, with one out, Sheets opened the scoring with a solo home run. In the bottom of the fifth, Devers tied the game with a solo home run to make it 1-1.
In the top of the seventh, Tatis Jr. reached on a fielding error by third baseman Chapman. Loriano drew a walk, and Castellanos' grounder advanced the runners to set up a one-out, second-and-third chance. Fermín flew out to left, but pinch hitter Ty France, batting for Song Seong-mun, delivered a two-run triple to put his team back in the lead. Merrill grounded out to the second baseman.
With momentum in their favor, San Diego's leadoff hitter Machado reached second on a walk and a wild pitch in the eighth. Andújar flew out to left, but Bogaerts crushed a two-run homer to put the game away.<
