Padres end skid, cut Giants’ 9-game streak

SAN FRANCISCO » Fernando Tatis Jr. matched his career high with four hits, Jurickson Profar homered and the San Diego Padres snapped a five-game skid, holding off San Francisco 9-6 Wednesday night and ending the Giants’ ninegame winning streak.

Adam Frazier got four hits and Manny Machado doubled twice for the Padres, who trail St. Louis by one game for the second NL wild-card spot.

San Francisco had its lead in the NL West cut to 1 ½ games by the Los Angeles Dodgers, with both teams already assured playoff spots.

The majors-best Giants (95-51) held the club’s longest winning streak since a 10-game run in 2004.

The Giants hit four solo homers: pinch-hitter Thairo Estrada in the third, Kris Bryant in the sixth, then late lineup addition Steven Duggar and Brandon Belt each connected in the seventh.

Duggar struck out against Emilio Pagán to end the eighth with two runners aboard and the Giants trailing 7-5.
