HOUSTON — Durango product Tommy Pham and Fernando Tatis Jr. homered, and each had an RBI in a seven-run 11th inning that sent the San Diego Padres over the Houston Astros 10-3 on Friday.
The Padres improved to an Mlb-best 7-0 in interleague play this season. The Astros have lost five of six overall.
Pham’s homer came in the third inning, and Tatis tied it at 2-all with his solo shot in the eighth.
It was tied at 3-all to start the 11th when Victor Caratini singled off Brooks Raley (2-3), setting up RBI singles by Ha-seong Kim and Pham.
Brandon Bielak relieved, Jake Cronenworth hit an RBI single with one out, and Tatis added a sacrifice fly that made it 7-3 before things got out of hand.

Manny Machado, who had been hampered by a shoulder injury, was 0-for-3 with three strikeouts and a walk in his first start since May 19 when he slapped a double off Ryne Stanek to score Pham and make it 3-2 to start the 10th.
The Astros tied it in the 10th when Alex Bregman scored on a sacrifice fly by Chas Mccormick off Mark Melancon (1-0) to make it 3-all. Altuve flied out with the bases loaded to end the inning.
