Washington Nationals drop 7-4 decision to San Diego Padres in Petco Park

Washington and San Diego traded three-run blasts in the bottom of the fourth and top of the fifth, with Padres’ outfielder Wil Myers taking Erick Fedde deep to right-center for the first of the two home runs, before Josh Harrison hit a game-tying three-run shot to center field in Petco Park, 3-3.

But the home team responded with three in the bottom of the fifth, and the Friars evened things up in the four-game series after dropping the opener to the Nationals: 7-4 final.

Fedde vs San Diego: Erick Fedde had a streak of 21-straight scoreless innings on the mound end when he gave up three runs in the second inning of a four-inning outing against the NL East rival Philadelphia Phillies on the road in Citizens Bank Park, and coming out of that start the righty was diagnosed with an oblique strain which landed him on the 10-Day IL back on June 27th (retroactive to 6/24).
