SAN DIEGO — Jurickson Profar hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning, and the San Diego Padres rallied late to beat the Minnesota Twins 7-5 on Tuesday night.“Hard-fought, back-and-forth game,” Padres manager Mike Shildt said. “The guys did a really nice job of taking some really, really quality at-bats at the end of the game.”Manny Machado also went deep as San Diego won its second straight against Minnesota in a matchup of playoff contenders.
