Gavin Sheets drilled a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give the visiting San Diego Padres a 3-1 comeback victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night.
Miguel Andujar ignited the rally with a two-out single off closer Abner Uribe (2-2), who came in for the ninth. Xander Bogaerts walked and Sheets then sent an 0-1 pitch 398 feet to right center for his sixth homer.
Jason Adam (2-0) got the win with a scoreless eighth. Mason Miller finished for his 13th save in 13 opportunities.
Uribe blew his second save of the season one day after earning his fourth.
Brewers starter Jacob Misiorowski held the Padres to four hits through seven scoreless innings. Aaron Ashby followed with a scoreless inning before the Padres broke through against Uribe to snap the Brewers five-game winning streak.
Misiorowski warmed up before the eighth before signaling for a trainer, who appeared to be looking at his right leg. The flame-throwing righty left his start on May 1 after 5 1/3 hitless innings with a right hamstring cramp. The Brewers did not make an announcement regarding Misiorowski’s status after he exited Wednesday’s game.
The Brewers snapped a scoreless tie with a small-ball run in the fifth off starter Michael King. Sal Frelick singled to open and Joey Ortiz beat out a bunt single. Frelick advanced to third on a fielder’s choice and then scored on Brice Turang’s grounder to first base.
Misiorowski has not allowed a run in 18 1/3 innings in three starts in May. He struck out 10 to increase his major league-leading total to 80.
King was almost as effective as Misiorowski allowing one run on six hits in 5 2/3 innings, striking out five and walking two in a 99-pitch outing.
Sheets was 2 for 3, while Fernando Tatis Jr. added a pair of singles.
Frelick had a pair of hits for Milwaukee and Luis Rengifo singled three times in four at-bats.
