SAN FRANCISCO —
K and E and the DP.
The three acronyms that represent a few of the Padres’ biggest struggles this season were on inglorious display early and often in an 8-3 loss to the Giants on Friday night at Oracle Park.
Padres starter Dinelson Lamet struck out 10, and Manny Machado homered in the fourth.
A two-run homer by Brandon Belt in the first inning and a solo homer by Mike Yastrzemski in the fifth helped run Lamet from the game after five innings, and Robbie Erlin surrended three runs in the seventh and another in the eighth.
