As for the game, the Padres won, 5-4.
PH Alexi Amarista’s ninth-inning single Thursday was the third walk-off hit of his career.
It’s been a pretty disappointing season for Major League Baseball’s biggest wheeling and dealing team during the offseason-The San Diego Padres.
Capt. Joe Amador of San Diego Fire-Rescue Department told the San Diego Union Tribune the baby and mother were transported to Kaiser Permanente San Diego Medical Center. Angel Pagan led off with a double and scored on a single by Alejandro de Aza.
San Diego firefighters were called to the scene, but baby Levi beat out the throw in the third inning.
Padres: RHP Casey Kelly (0-0, 4.50) is making his first start since 2012 as he rebounds from two Tommy John surgeries. This time, he had nothing to show for it.
History was made at Petco Park Thursday night. “This was a tough one to let get away”. “It’s a insane game that we play”.
The loss dropped the Giants eight games behind the NL West-leading Dodgers with 10 remaining.
Bumgarner did his part to help. Bumgarner put two on ahead of Norris, who lined a three-run shot that bounced off the top of the right-field wall.
Wednesday, Jake Peavy’s six scoreless innings were wasted as manager Bruce Bochy set a franchise record by using 10 pitchers in a nine-inning game. “Bum did a ideal job. They get a three-run homer and boom, we’re down”. It was his 20th of the season, one more than he had the last two years combined.
“We’ve got to be smart about him”, Bochy said. Melvin Upton Jr. bunted pinch-runner Travis Jankowski to third, which brought up pinch-hitter Brett Wallace.
“At the same time, you have to realize how hard this game is”. Marlon Byrd’s single tied the game and sent Crawford to third with two outs.
“I’m at that point with all of them”, said Bochy, adding concussed outfielders Nori Aoki and Gregor Blanco to the list.
