Monasterio hit a weak grounder right back at Morejon, who threw a sinker to Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth. Cronenworth was unable to handle the throw for what would have been an inning-ending double play, allowing Rafaela to come around to tie the game. “He did an amazing job against a tough lefty, just battling, putting the ball in play…extending the game,” Cora said postgame about Monasterio’s at-bat.Â
