Padres rally past Diamondbacks 6-4 in Mexico City as Miller sets club record

MEXICO CITY (AP) --- Ty France homered twice and Gavin Sheets hit a two-run
single during a four-run seventh inning as the San Diego Padres rallied past
the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 on Saturday in Mexico City.
Mason Miller pitched a perfect ninth for his 10th save, extending his scoreless
streak to 34 2/3 innings dating to last season and breaking the previous Padres
record set by reliever Cla Meredith with 33 2/3 innings in 2006.
The hard-throwing Miller hasn't allowed a run since Aug. 5, 2025. It's the
eighth-longest shutout streak by a major league reliever since 1961.
Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen was hit by a line drive on his pitching
shoulder in the third. He was lifted after three shutout innings as a
precaution, manager Torey Lovullo said.
Padres starter Germn Mrquez (3-1) gave up four runs in the second, but that
was it. He lasted six innings, allowing six hits and a walk while striking out
two.
San Diego (18-8) has won 16 of 19 after a 2-5 start.
Jose Fernandez hit a two-run double in the Arizona second and No. 9 batter Alek
Thomas followed with a two-run homer.
Brandon Pfaadt took over for Gallen in the fourth, and France got San Diego's
comeback started with a solo homer in the fifth.
Pfaadt loaded the bases with nobody out in the seventh on two walks and a
single before Sheets trimmed the deficit to 4-3 with a two-run single off
Taylor Clarke (1-1). Freddy Fermin tied it with a sacrifice fly, and Ramn
Laureano gave the Padres a 5-4 lead with another sac fly.
Arizona committed three errors, two in the seventh inning.
France homered again in the ninth.
San Diego played in Mexico for the eighth time and first since a regular-season
series against San Francisco in 2023.

Ryne Nelson (1-2, 6.97).
