— Manny Machado homered twice off Max Scherzer and drove in five runs for the San Diego Padres, who got six strong innings from Joe Musgrove to beat the6-2 Sunday and take two of three in a series between high-priced, yet underwhelming, teams.
The Padres got to Scherzer right away and handed him his first loss since May 3 at Detroit. Kim Ha-Seong hit a leadoff single to left, Fernando Tatis Jr. doubled off the center field wall with one out and then Machado drove a 2-2 pitch into the middle balcony of the four-story brick warehouse in the left field corner.
"I'm trying to just drive in one run and get on the board as quickly as possible to give Joe that lead. You get two good swings and you put some runs on against a guy like that, it's always a bonus.""I've got to be better than that,'' Scherzer said."I had a chance to get out of the inning and I didn't. I'm executing the slider at times and it is good and at times it is bad. That's the worst thing you can have, an inconsistent pitch.
The big-right hander blanked the Mets on three hits while striking out seven and walking none. He hit a career-high four batters, including two straight in the fourth to load the bases with one out. He got out of the jam with consecutive strikeouts. He was also backed by three double plays. The Padres had three double plays overall.
