Seth Lugo allowed three hits and came within an out of his first career complete game, Juan Soto homered twice and the San Diego Padres stayed alive in the NL wild-card race, beating the San Francisco Giants 4-0 on Tuesday night. The teams are tied at 78-80, 4 1/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs for the final NL wild-card spot….
Lugo got the first out of the ninth on a line drive to second base. Luis Matos walked before Joc Pederson reached on a fielder’s choice. Thairo Estrada singled with two outs before Melvin replaced Lugo with All-Star closer Josh Hader, who retired Michael Conforto on a looking strikeout.
“I wanted it,” Lugo said about a complete game. “Went out for the eighth, had never done that before. So at that point I was happy with whatever happened.” Soto hit a solo shot off John Brebbia in the first inning to extend his on-base streak to a career-best 29 games. Soto connected for a two-run drive off Ryan Walker in the seventh for his 35th homer, another personal best.“I faced Brebbia a couple times before, so I know what he has,” Soto said. “He was showing that he had good stuff today so my mindset was jumping him early.”
Brebbia was pressed into duty to make his ninth appearance as an opener this season after top pitching prospect Kyle Harrison was scratched from the lineup 15 minutes before first pitch due to illness. Brebbia retired four batters and had two strikeouts while allowing one run.After Brett Sullivan singled with one out, Xander Bogaerts hit a slow chopper to the side of the mound.
