Victor Robles’s big hit in Saturday night’s win was overshadowed somewhat by the play at the plate which followed, with César Hernández initially called out at home on a throw the former Nationals’ outfielder Juan Soto sent in from right field, but upon review it was ruled Padres’ catcher Austin Nola blocked Hernández’s path to the plate and the call was quickly reversed. It ended up being the winning run. But Robles drove it in, taking a 100+ MPH first-pitch fastball San Diego reliever Luis García the other way for his only hit of the game in four plate appearances.
