Cruz has six RBIs for 10th time in his career; Lugo goes six innings to take pressure off short-handed bullpen
With closer Josh Hader and setup man Luis Garcia not available because they had pitched the previous two days, the Padres went into their game against the Braves hoping Seth Lugo could replicate what he did in his first start and the offense could provide a cushion for the later innings.
Nelson Cruz drove in six runs. He hit one of the Padres’ three home runs and had three of their 13 hits. Ha-Seong Kim homered and doubled. Trent Grisham had the other home run. Their hitters certainly got cooperation from young left-hander Dylan Dodd. The Braves’ sixth-ranked prospect was making his second career start, and he lost for the first time. He departed with one out in the fifth and the Braves down 6-0 after he made a habit of leaving sliders up in the zone that were smacked to all parts of the ballpark, mostly off the wall outfield and over it.
It was 4-0 after Xander Bogaerts and Manny Machado began the third inning with singles. Cruz then rocketed his second home run of the season a projected 432 feet to left field with one out.
