SAN DIEGO (AP) — Manuel Margot stunned even his own teammates with a home run robbery in the sixth.
No such surprise when Hunter Renfroe went deep an inning later, propelling the Padres to a series victory.
Renfroe hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the seventh after Margot robbed Pete Alonso at the wall, and San Diego beat the New York Mets 3-2 Wednesday to claim a three-game set.
Eric Hosmer also went deep for San Diego, Matt Strahm pitched into the seventh and Gerardo Reyes (2-0) got the victory with 1 2/3 scoreless innings of relief.
