Padres almost score against Giants, lose fifth straight game

Even after scoring in just two of the 27 innings they played in Los Angeles over the weekend, the Padres believed a turnaround was close.

“It starts with one guy getting a big hit, starting a rally,” Josh Bell said Sunday night. “And things will continue from there.”Almost anyone who was watching believed Ha-Seong Kim’s double had driven in Brandon Drury to tie the game in seventh inning. Or at least that it was too close to have home plate umpire Sean Barber’s safe call overturned

But a replay review requested by the Giants resulted in Drury being called out and the Padres still trailing 1-0, the score by which they lost their fifth straight game.Padres starter Blake Snell allowed one run in 5 2/3 innings. Three of the six hits he allowed came before he got an out in the fourth inning. Thairo Estrada’s sacrifice fly with the bases loaded gave the Giants the lead.

Before Kim reached third base on the throw home in the seventh, it had been 16 innings since the Padres had a runner in scoring position.The hit was also the last of the three Giants that starter Alex Wood allowed. Kim, the first batter to face reliever John Brebbia, grounded a double inside the bag at third. Left fielder Luis Gonzalez had just grabbed the ball near the wall as Drury approached third, and coach Matt Williams waved Drury home.

“I thought I got my fingertips in there, and then obviously we all saw the same thing on the replay,” Drury said. “I just didn’t see anything to overturn it at all. It was a close play, no doubt. But the call on the field was safe, and I can’t believe they overturned that from what I saw.”The fans at San Diego then started throwing stuff onto the field
