Padres beat Brewers in 11-inning slugfest

-

MILWAUKEE — One home run in extra innings wasn't enough for the San Diego Padres, so they cranked out a couple more Saturday.

It's been that kind of weekend at Miller Park. Cory Spangenber­g and Chase d'Arnaud each hit solo homers in the 11th inning, lifting the Padres over the Milwaukee Brewers 7-5 in yet another slugfest.

The teams have combined for 15 home runs in the first two games of the three-game series. The Padres totaled a season-best five homers Saturday, including two by Yangervis Solarte and one by Wil Myers, while Milwaukee got a homer each from Orlando Arcia, Eric Thames and Keon Broxton. On Friday night, Thames' game-ending shot in the 10th was the seventh home run of the game.

Spangenber­g hit the first pitch from reliever Oliver Drake (2-2) leading off the 11th, and two outs later, d'Arnaud followed with his first homer of the season.

Solarte hit a two-run homer in the 10th, but Broxton tied it at 5 with a two-run shot off Brandon Maurer in the bottom of the inning.

The clubs also combined for 30 strikeouts, including 19 by the Brewers. Padres starter Dinelson Lamet accounted for a career-high 12 of those punchouts while allowing three runs in six innings.

Former Mississipp­i State player Hunter Renfroe hit his 14th double, best among rookies, to drive in a run in the fourth. It was the first run scored by the Padres that didn't come courtesy of the long ball in the first two games of the series.

Dodgers 10, Reds 2

CINCINNATI — Yasiel Puig hit two of the Dodgers' four homers, powering Los Angeles to a victory that took the edge off Cincinnati's latest honor for its banned hits king.

Pete Rose unveiled a bronze sculpture of his headfirst slide in front of Great American Ball Park before the game. Thousands of packed-in fans cheered when he said, "Let's get those Reds in high gear."

Instead, the Dodgers flexed their muscle and added to their domination of Cincinnati, beating the Reds for the seventh straight time.

Cody Bellinger had three hits, including a homer, and drove in three runs. Joc Pederson homered for the second straight game as the Dodgers piled up seven extrabase hits. NEW YORK — Trea Turner hit a leadoff homer and Washington backed Stephen Strasburg (82) with three long balls, beating New York to stay undefeated at Citi Field this season.

Adam Lind added a two-run shot and Jose Lobaton also went deep for the NL East leaders, who can finish a four-game sweep Sunday afternoon. Washington is 6-0 in Queens this year — part of an impressive 24-12 mark on the road — and has won 12 of 16 at the Mets' home ballpark since the start of last season.

Rockies 5, Giants 1

DENVER — Kyle Freeland tossed six solid innings, Tony Wolters drove in two runs and Colorado beat San Francisco again.

The Rockies are 9-1 against San Francisco this season and have won the last eight against the Giants.

Diamondbac­ks 5, Phillies 1

PHILADELPH­IA — Paul Goldschmid­t hit a two-run double and also made a key catch, boosting Arizona over Philadelph­ia for its sixth straight victory.

The Diamondbac­ks improved to 43-26, matching the best 69game start in team history.
