Padres win rollercoaster matchup against Marlins

Before Salas got the opportunity to win the game, David Morgan , who was credited with the win, saved the game. The right-hander was called on to pitch the top of the 10th inning after Mason Miller allowed a game-tying home run to pinch hitter Griffin Conine in the top of the ninth inning. Miller got past the home run and completed his outing, but it appeared like a wasted opportunity for one of the best closers in baseball.

Morgan took the ball in the top of the 10th inning with the go-ahead run on second base. He struck out the first two Marlins he faced before an intentional walk put Miami runners at first and second base. Morgan then faced Heriberto Hernandez and got him to line-out to Jackson Merrill in center field after two borderline pinpoint pitches that just missed the plate to end the inning. Miami was unable to advance the runner, let alone, get him home to take the lead.

It was another dismal start for Casey Mize in a Padres uniform. The deadline addition lasted just three innings and allowed five runs on five hits with five walks and two strikeouts. The game turned into an unexpected bullpen game where six different pitchers were needed to cover the final innings. Miller was the only San Diego reliever to allow a run and that was off the solo home run by Conine.
