Padres 7, Reds 3

- JEFF SANDERS

Batter’s box: LF Jorge Ona hit a monstrous home run in the Padres’ five-run fifth inning, his first of the spring and his first since a shoulder injury ended his 2019 campaign at Double-a Amarillo. The 23-year-old Cuban, who signed for $7 million in July 2016 and was added to the 40-man roster this offseason, is 2-for-7 this spring. … 1B Jason Vosler also hit his first homer of the spring and drove in two runs in a three-hit game, and CF Abraham Almonte went 3-for-5 to lift his Cactus League batting average to .429. … RF Taylor Trammell went 2-for-4 against the Reds, who traded him to the Padres last July… SS Greg Garcia was 2-for-2, while 2B Brian Dozier was 0-for-3 and struck out twice. … C Austin Hedges went 1-for-2 with a walk.

Balls and strikes: LHP Matt Strahm threw 12⁄3 scoreless innings. He struck out one, walked one, hit two batters and allowed one hit. … RHPS Chih-wei Hu, Lake Bachar and Jerad Eickhoff all turned in a scoreless inning. … RHP Jimmy Yacabonis allowed a run in 11⁄3 innings, just the second run allowed by Padres pitching in their last four games until RHP Seth Frankoff allowed two runs in the eighth.

Extra bases: Travis Jankowski, traded to the Reds in October for internatio­nal bonus money, doubled in the seventh inning but grabbed his left hamstring as he hobbled into second base and immediatel­y exited the game with a trainer. A fractured right wrist last spring sabotaged Jankowski’s push to break camp with the Padres as a reserve outfielder.

On deck: LHP Joey Lucchesi will make his second Cactus League start at 12:10 pm PT (Fox Sports San Diego) in Peoria against the San Francisco Giants. RHP Emilio Pagan, RHP Javy Guerra, RHP Pierce Johnson and RHP Gerardo Reyes are also among the scheduled pitchers.
