Padres 5, Mariners 5

- KEVIN ACEE

Batter’s box: At Peoria, Trent Grisham hit his third and fourth home runs of the spring, giving him the team lead with one Cactus League game remaining. Grisham also hit an RBI single and drove in all five Padres runs. He is batting .277 (13-for-47) on the spring. … Luis Campusano singled twice and is batting .276 (8-for-29) with three home runs. … Fernando Tatis Jr. was 0-for-3, as his batting average dropped to .300 (12-for-40). … Nelson Cruz was 1-for-3. He has four hits in his past nine at-bats.

Balls and strikes: Michael Wacha threw 88 pitches over five innings in his final tuneup for the season. He allowed a run on two hits in the first inning and three runs in the fifth on three singles, a walk and two sacrifice flies. Wacha is expected to start Saturday in the season’s third game. … Steven Wilson allowed a run on two hits and walked two in 12⁄3 innings. … Tim Hill struck out all three batters he faced. The left-hander allowed three runs in a two-thirds of an inning on March 13 and has otherwise thrown eight scoreless innings while allowing three hits and striking out 11.

Extra bases: Rougned Odor, who has been exclusivel­y an infielder in his nine-year major league career, subbed in for Tatis in right field. Odor has now played second and third base and the two corner outfield spots this spring. He is a virtual lock to make the opening-day roster. … A loud sustained cheer accompanie­d Matt Carpenter to the plate in the second inning. He happened to be stepping into the batter’s box at the moment time ran out in San Diego State’s victory over Creighton in the Elite Eight.

On deck: Seth Lugo starts the spring finale against the Mariners, 12:10 p.m. at Peoria Stadium. Lugo is the anticipate­d starter in the season’s fourth game.
