Joe Musgrove pitched seven innings for the first time since July 4 and Xander Bogaerts homered for the San Diego Padres, who beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.
SAN DIEGO —
Musgrove was traded to Houston in 2012 and made his big league debut against Toronto on Aug. 2, 2016. Tatis made a brilliant running, leaping catch of George Springer’s fly ball to the gap to end the eighth, with his momentum carrying him all the way to the wall. In the second, he made a running, sliding catch of a long foul ball by Daulton Varsho.“It's part of the work. That's why we keep working hard. We don't take it for granted,” Tatis said. “When you're in the game no matter what, you're trying to play defense for that pitcher on the mound.
“Really good,” Musgrove said of Tatis. “Just really good defensive plays all around today. Turned the double plays we should turn, the sliding catch down the line, the catch in the gap, just really good defense.”Bogaerts, who has struggled since signing as a free agent before the 2023 season, homered off Chris Bassitt leading off the third to tie the game at 2. His only other homer this year was April 9 against the Chicago Cubs. He had gone eight games without an extra-base hit.
