Padres come back late again, beat Marlins for 16th win in 18 games

Jackson Merrill strikes an inning early this time

Jackson Merrill, right, is met by Xander Bogaerts after hitting a two-run home run during the eighth inning. And the Padres needed to do a little extra work to set a new benchmark for midseason success.A 9-8 victory over the Marlins on Saturday was their 16th victory in 18 games, making them the first Padres team to ever win that many games in that span.

Saturday’s victory matched a season high of seven straight. Another one Sunday would complete a 6-0 road trip, which would be the longest undefeated trip in Padres history. Merrill, who had three times in the previous 11 days hit a game-tying homer in the ninth inning, sent a two-run homer over the wall in right field to tie Saturday’s game 7-7 in the eighth.

Arraez then sent a chopper to the right side that first baseman Jonah Bride had no choice but to field and tag out Arraez as Wade ran home.
