This all came after Jesse Chavez gave up a double to Wil Myers and a home run to Matt Kemp in the top of the 12th to give San Diego the lead.

It’s also worth noting Bautista owns 10-and-5 rights, meaning that he can veto any trade. Suzuki made his first start in five games and went 1 for 5, giving him 2,997 ca.

Adam Rosales hit a two-run homer, Brett Wallace drove in a pair with a home run and a single and Alex Dickerson also went deep as the Padres (44-58) avoided a three-game sweep.

“I’m proud of the guys”, Gibbons said.

“I can’t imagine I’ve ever had an at-bat longer than that”, Travis said. “He gave up the three-run home run but other than that it was a really good outing”. Jays starter Marcus Stroman gave up four runs on seven hits through 6.2 innings for a no decision with Jess Chavez allowing two in the 9th only to get the win wen Toronto scored three in the bottom of the 12th to make him the victor.

San Diego are 2-9 in their last 11 road games and the over is 11-3-1 in their last 15 interleague games while the Padres are 2-6 in their last 8 overall. “I’ve thought about it, but man, it’s part of the game”, Upton said.

Pillar cut the deficit to 7-3 with a two-out, two-run double, and scored on a single from Carrera in the bottom of the sixth, but Dickerson led off the eighth with a solo homer off Franklin Morales. “I was telling him he looks like a video game. Every time he’s in the batter’s box, you think he’s going to hit a homer”.

The San Diego Padres traded left fielder Melvin Upton Jr.to the Toronto Blue Jays for minor-league righthander Hansel Rodriguez. He’s batting.227/.361/.446 with 12 homers and 42 RBIs.

Bautista, 35 will be a free agent at the end of the season, but the Blue Jays slugger hopes to stay with the club that took a chance on him in 2008. A single from Russell Martin and a double from Darwin Barney put the tying runner in scoring position with one out.

Toronto announced another trade minutes after the game ended: The busy Blue Jays acquired reliever Joaquin Benoit from Seattle for right-hander Drew Storen.

Padres: 3B Yangervis Solarte was placed on the family leave list, meaning he will be out three to seven days.

To make roster space for Zimmerman and Solis, the NL East-leading Nationals optioned outfielder Michael A. Taylor and righthander Lucas Giolito to Triple-A Syracuse.

Padres: After an off day Thursday, San Diego opens a three-game series at home to Cincinnati on Friday.
