Troy Tulowitzki cut the lead to 5-4 with a solo home run in the eighth inning, his 11th of the season.
Barmes came to the plate with one on and no outs and initially thought he would be bunting. He's glad he didn't have to.
"Honestly, I was walking to the plate expecting to get [the] bunt sign," Barmes said. "Fortunately I was able to get something off-speed and something that was elevated."
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Arm and bat: It was quite a sequence from Padres rookie catcher Austin Hedges, as he used his arm and bat to help his team.
