Bogaerts, Carpenter spark 5-run 9th inning

MIAMI — Xander Bogaerts sparked a five-run ninth inning with a tiebreaking single and Matt Carpenter drove in two runs with his second double of the game, lifting the San Diego Padres over the Miami Marlins 9-4 on Tuesday night.

Carpenter, who entered hitting .105 (6 for 57) in May, had three RBIs. Juan Soto drove in two runs for the Padres (25-29), who were coming off consecutive losses at Yankee Stadium.

Bryan De La Cruz hit a two-run homer for the Marlins (28-27), who came home after a threegame sweep at the Los Angeles Angels.

NL Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara failed to hold a 4-2 lead and is 1-5 in his last nine starts. He allowed four runs and five hits in 6⅓ innings while walking five, one shy of his career high. His ERA rose to 4.93.

Four of Alcantara’s walks ended up scoring.

“Walks cost me everything tonight,” Alcantara said. “Next time, I’ve got to make sure that I don’t walk anyone.”

The Padres, who began Tuesday hitting a major league low .220, had 11 hits against Alcantara and four relievers.

Gary Sánchez went 1 for 4 with an infield single in his Padres debut, a day after the struggling two-time All-Star was claimed off waivers from the New York Mets.

With the score 4-4, Fernando Tatis Jr. walked against Dylan Floro (3-3) leading off the ninth. Tatis stole second, Soto was intentionally walked and Bogaerts grounded a chest-high 0-2 fastball into center field.

“This is what this offense should be doing,” Tatis said. “We’re taking better at-bats as a group, and today we finally had good results.”

Rougned Odor, with the infield in, hit a chopper that shortstop Jon Berti threw wide to the thirdbase side of the plate for an error. Carpenter hit a two-run double, giving him 24 RBIs.

Floro was removed after Carpenter’s hit and was still angry about the ball four call to Tatis on a sinker near the low, inside corner. The pitcher said something while walking toward the dugout that caused plate umpire Jordan Baker to eject him.
