Despaigne helps Padres beat Marlins 5

“I’m just proud of her and Alli because it was so cool to see”.

Christian Yelich hit a two-run home run in the first for the Marlins, who have lost six of seven. The Marlins are 3-8 in their last 11 during game 3 of a series and 23-8 in Fernandezs last 31 starts.

“Giving up the homer helped shake it up a little bit”, he said. The Padres, third in the NL West and 6 1/2 games out of the final wild-card spot, have scored at least five runs and recorded nine or more hits in each of the last four.

“After I was done, all of the emotions just came out, and I started crying on the bench because I get to go home to see her, and I just want to hold her, ‘” Kennedy said. The Padres have scored 21 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in four straight games.

He plans to rejoin the Padres next week.

Yangervis Solarte and Matt Kemp each had two hits with a RBI on Saturday as San Diego (51-53) won for the 12th time in the last 16 games with a fifth consecutive victory over Miami.

“I think that victory was for someone else, too”, Padres interim manager Pat Murphy said.

“You kind of lose track of that stolen base when you score five, but that set it all up”, Gyorko said. Andre Rienzo walked Derek Norris with a full count, forcing in another run, and Venable singled for a 7-3 lead. Venable singled for the second time in the inning, driving in another run. “But this was also an audition for those guys to showcase what they can do for next year to go along with this great core that we have”.

Brandon Maurer (7-3) pitched an inning in relief for the win. One of the players that San Diego expected to deal, closer Craig Kimbrel, suffered his second blown save in 22 chances when he coughed up a two-out homer to Derek Dietrich in the bottom of the ninth. “Ultimately, we didn’t feel like we got the value that we wanted to get to”, said Padres general manager A.J. Preller, whose club plays the second of a three-game series at the Miami Marlins on Saturday. “It was a big moment in the game”. Unlike San Diego, the Marlins were busy right up to the deadline, sending right-handed starter Dan Haren to the Chicago Cubs and reliever Sam Dyson to Texas while receiving a pair of prospects back in each deal.

Padres right-hander Odrisamer Despaigne (5-7) earned the win, beating Miami for the second time in one week. According to Corey Brock of MLB.com, Kennedy watched the birth of his daughter on FaceTime yesterday before allowing two runs over seven innings against the Marlins.

Marlins: RHP Jose Urena (1-4) benefits from the Marlins’ recent trades as he was recalled from Triple-A and will start Saturday.
