Wil Myers laced a three-RBI triple into deep right field early in the third inning which was aided by a throwing error by Joey Votto, and that wound up being all the Padres needed to take down the Reds 3-2 in the series finale. The sweep of Cincinnati in the four-game home series became the first four-game sweep recorded by the Padres since the 2011 season.
Dinelson Lamet started Sunday’s finale and finished with a season-high seven strikeouts with one walk in five innings of work. Mark Melancon struck out one in the ninth to become the first closer this year to reach 20 saves.
