Catcher's game-winning home run comes after late Oakland rally at Petco Park; San Diego goes for sweep Wednesday
The Padres have bounced back from crushing defeats this season. Now they could be looking to bounce back from losing an All-Star-caliber outfielder. A half-inning after Enyel De Los Santos allowed a game-tying homer in the eighth, Jurickson Profar’s left knee gave out while whiffing at a pitch, casting a dark cloud over a game ultimately won 4-3 on Kyle Higashioka’s walk-off home run. The home run was the backup catcher’s fourth home run in five games played in June.
In addition to the first-pitch homer, Vásquez allowed a single to J.J. Bleday before getting out of the first inning. Two strikeouts allowed Vásquez to strand a leadoff single and one-out walk in the second. He allowed two more singles without giving up a run in the third inning and a double and a single in the fourth before Luis Arraez started a 3-6-3 to get Vásquez out of that jam.
