Grisham has 4 RBIs, Padres beat D-backs in Tatis’ return -
Trent Grisham had two doubles and four RBIs, Xander Bogaerts added a two-run homer and the Padres beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-5 in Tatis’ return from a PED suspension Thursday night.
Manager Bob Melvin said when the ball came off Rojas’ bat, he didn’t even look to see where it landed because he thought it was a sure double. Then he heard the fans roar and realized Tatis - who made the switch to the outfield from shortstop during the offseason - had made the catch. Bogaerts mashed a 405-foot shot in the third for his fifth homer of the season. Matt Carpenter also had a solo homer.
The Padres jumped to a 5-1 lead after Carpenter’s homer in the fourth, but the D-backs responded with four runs in the bottom of the inning off righty Michael Wacha to tie it. Rojas had a two-run single in the rally. The D-backs lost despite a 12-7 advantage in hits. Christian Walker had a three-hit night, including a double and an RBI.The Diamondbacks also made roster news Thursday, though it was a subtraction instead of an addition.
