ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Ramn Laureano and Fernando Tatis Jr. each drove in
two runs apiece, Germn Mrquez threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings in a strong start
and the San Diego Padres beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-1 on Saturday night.
Adrian Morejon (2-0) struck out two in 1 1/3 scoreless relief innings for the
win and Mason Miller earned his seventh save despite giving up a single and a
walk in the ninth.
Miller, who has allowed two hits, walked two and struck out 25 in 10 1/3
innings this season, extended his scoreless streak to 31 2/3 innings dating to
last Aug. 6.
The teams were in a scoreless tie when Freddy Fermin and Jake Cronenworth
opened the eighth with four-pitch walks off Ryan Zeferjahn (1-1). Laureano
chopped an RBI single through the middle for a 1-0 lead, snapping San Diego's
16-inning scoreless streak. Tatis followed with an RBI hit-and-run dribbler
through a vacated second-base spot for a 2-0 lead.
The Angels trimmed the deficit to 2-1 in the bottom of the eighth when Logan
O'Hoppe and Adam Frazier singled off Jason Adam and Nolan Schanuel hit a
two-out RBI single. But Jo Adell grounded out to end the inning.
San Diego pushed the lead to 4-1 in the ninth on Laureano's sacrifice fly and
Tatis' RBI single.
Mrquez gave up two hits, struck out five --- all in the fourth and fifth
innings --- and walked two.
Angels starter Yusei Kikuchi allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked one
in six innings.
Jackson Merrill robbed Yon Moncada of a solo homer with a leaping catch at the
right-center-field wall in the second, holding onto the ball as he collided
with Tatis.
The game was twice delayed for several minutes. In the second, O'Hoppe, the
Angels' catcher, took a foul tip off his neck. In the fifth a 96-mph fastball
from Kikuchi grazed Cronenworth's chin. Both players remained in the game.
