Fernando Tatis Jr. led off the seventh and reached on a fielding error by third baseman Matt Chapman.<\/p>\n<p>Keaton Winn then replaced starter Adrian Houser (0-4). After a walk, groundout and pop-out left runners at second and third with two outs, lefty Matt Gage replaced Winn, and France pinch-hit for Sung-Mun Song.<\/p>\n<p>France hit a drive down the right-field line that Jes\u00fas Rodr\u00edguez got to but could not grab. It got past the rookie and became a two-run triple for France. Rodr\u00edguez, normally a catcher, was making his major league outfield debut.<\/p>\n<p>Houser put together his best performance in seven starts with San Francisco. He gave up two runs (one earned) on three hits in six-plus innings.<\/p>\n<p>The lone earned run came in the fourth inning on Gavin Sheets&#8217; fifth homer of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Xander Bogaerts tagged reliever Ryan Walker for a two-run homer to left in the eighth inning, making it 5-1. It was Bogaerts&#8217; team-leading seventh home run of the season.<\/p>\n<p>San Diego&#8217;s Matt Waldron (1-1) entered the game to begin the second inning. He held the Giants to a run on two hits in five innings and struck out seven.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco&#8217;s run came on an opposite-field homer by Rafael Devers, his third HR of the season and first since April 8.<\/p>\n<p>Up next<\/p>\n<p>The Padres return to San Diego and will have RHP Michael King (3-2, 2.95 ERA) face St. Louis LHP Matthew Liberatore (1-1, 4.50) on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants host Pittsburgh on Friday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pinch-hitter Ty France delivered a two-run triple in the seventh inning to put San Diego ahead to stay&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":778696,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[1884,1266,3549,1306,2750,1275,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-778695","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-major-league-baseball","9":"tag-mlb","10":"tag-san-diego","11":"tag-san-diego-padres","12":"tag-san-francisco","13":"tag-san-francisco-giants","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116531103387395295","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=778695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/778696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=778695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=778695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=778695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
