Christian Bethancourt tightened things with a two-run blast in the Padres' ninth.
New Padres shortstop Alexei Ramirez certainly didn't waste time making an impact in his spring debut. He had an RBI single in the third inning and made a diving play to grab a ground ball hit by Steve Clevenger in the fourth inning.
Seattle starter Nathan Karns, who was making his Cactus debut after being acquired in an offseason trade with the Rays, needed 22 pitches to get through the first inning on Thursday. Karns, who is competing for the fifth spot in the rotation, allowed one hit and a walk in his two innings.
