I like to talk about the wins, but that was probably the dopest moment. I’ve watched so many games here, growing up a big Red Sox fan, to come in and hit a homer, that’s an unreal feeling." The Padres sent 13 batters to the plate in the fifth, with nine scoring on eight hits and two walks. The first nine batters reached base safely. Every batter in the Padres starting lineup had at least one hit and scored a run. The nine runs scored matches the most in an inning for the Padres this season. They also scored nine runs in the eighth inning on May 31 against the Kansas City Royals. The nine runs allowed surpassed Boston’s previous season high of seven runs scored by the Toronto Blue Jays in the third inning on Tuesday. “A lot going on,” Padres manager Mike Schildt said of the fifth inning. “We talk about, you can never have enough runs. So, we stay hungry to get more. We want to continue to add on as much as possible all the time.” After Nick Pivetta (4-5) gave up four hits — including Higashioka’s ninth homer of the season — and a walk to open the fifth, he was replaced by Greg Weissert, who gave up four straight hits including two-run singles to Jake Cronenworth and Donovan Solano and Merrill’s 11th homer of the season. “The sweeper didn’t perform in that inning,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said of Pivetta’s pitch. “Just wasn’t able to execute and everything happened so fast. I’m usually not that aggressive bringing in the bullpen, but I wanted to give them a different look with the lefty there. It was still early in the game.” Pivetta called his outing "dissatisfying.” “I was hanging pitches in the middle of the zone and they took advantage of it because they’re a good baseball team," he said. Right-hander Randy Vásquez started for the Padres and went four-plus innings, giving up one run on five hits and a walk with one strikeout. He was replaced by Wandy Peralta after Ceddanne Rafaela’s comebacker hit him on his pitching arm and he suffered a forearm contusion. “Thankfully, X-rays negative, no fracture or anything. Got him in the forearm pretty good,” Schildt said. “That was a shame because this guy was pitching really well.” Right-hander Stephen Kolek (2-0) threw two scoreless innings, giving up a hit with two strikeouts. Connor Wong’s two-out single scored Wilyer Abreu from second base in the fourth to give Boston a 1-0 lead. Rafael Devers hit his 17th home run of the season in the sixth. Xander Bogaerts, who won two World Series titles in his 10 seasons in Boston, received a standing ovation from the Fenway crowd after the Red Sox showed a video tribute before the second inning. It was his first time back since signing with the Padres as a free agent in December 2022. ROSTER MOVES The Red Sox reinstated C Connor Wong from the paternity list and called up LHP Bailey Horn from Triple-A Worcester. C Tyler Heineman and RHP Isaiah Campbell were optioned to Worcester on Thursday. TRAINER’S ROOM Padres: LHP Tom Cosgrove was placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 27, with left elbow inflammation. LHP Austin Davis was called up from Triple-A El Paso to take his spot on the roster. … RHP Joe Musgrove, out since May 29 with right elbow inflammation, was transferred from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL. UP NEXT The Red Sox and Padres continue their three-game series on Saturday. RHP Tanner Houck (7-5, 2.18 ERA) is scheduled to start for Boston, opposed by RHP Michael King (5-5, 3.75). ------ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb Backyard Games Featured 1360x1360 Outdoor Games List Connect 4 Outdoor Games For Kids Pin 429x1024 Kids Chequer DIY Family Games Outdoor Pe Games 1*IKL1Lj4S5vztn5XeqF5ZPA 1a4443b3c5dde3a3cc325acf1af13eda E9bebea80025ae11f971ae1e01056cad Outdoor Play Childrens Games Outdoor 51tcHqgqHXL E12abe05235d9e3607ea82209e5e2e2f 8b38cd383287aaf76f6d906a31f5ee5c D91d78aeea2413fd54148f7343f06a65 Pexels Polesie Toys 5997575 ?width=1495&height=998&name=pexels Polesie Toys 5997575 Kids Skip Rope 768x498 07d Diy Backyard Games Ideas Homebnc V3 6ff823a5a84bcb2f1dddd8c23fbeaca6 GettyImages 176639665 580cf37d3df78c2c7315e5b9 ?strip=all Best Kids Outdoor Game Scaled E1620068458335 The Best Outdoor Games That Everyone Will Love Tout 71f0db4b77af47c7aac2f93479a3c043 Images 2023 04 03T105637.623 E1680499644862 Shutterstock 1528939193 Best Yard Games For Toddlers And Kids.webp A08232ac86ff27609eb2c92107b7f935 Best Outdoor Games For Kids 640a13ae0f932 AdobeStock 135804755 E1559068252990 768x420 58bcfcddb58f53e6e4b4c626371fbe6b 2871960e4717bf4feae45e83299f06d5 Outdoor Scrabble Game 84d903f3 3ef69d6d1026426c89bf4dc08bddc8a3 10898.h650.w2400.flim.bffffff 9963b5bb0246b6564563b7ab09c0cd17
