But in the last two games of their series against the Giants, the Padres' bullpen allowed 10 earned runs -- three during Tuesday's game and seven on Wednesday.
"They've been great all year," interim manager Pat Murphy said. "It's baseball. It comes down to a few pitches. Credit the Giants. They capitalized and made us pay."
The Padres had a 1-0 lead heading into the sixth inning, when Brandon Belt tied the game with a 407-foot homer off of Marcos Mateo. San Diego then brought Brandon Maurer to the mound for the seventh.
