PEORIA, Ariz. \u2014 The Padres beat the Seattle Mariners 9-6 on Tuesday at Peoria Stadium.<\/p>\n
Batters box: Left fielder Gavin Sheets and shortstop Xander Bogaerts hit back-to-back home runs off Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo in the second inning. Sheets\u2019 home run was his second of the spring and Bogaerts\u2019 was his first. \u2026 First baseman Nick Castellanos hit his second home run of the spring in the seventh inning off Mariners closer Andres Mu\u00f1oz. \u2026 Designated hitter Ty France hit his first homer of the spring and Jase Bowen came off the bench to hit his fourth homer, tied with Nick Schnell for the team lead this spring. \u2026 Catcher Rodolffo Duran hit his second homer of the spring in the eighth inning.<\/p>\n
Balls and strikes: Right-hander Germ\u00e1n M\u00e1rquez struck out nine, tops among all Padres pitchers this spring, while allowing three runs on three hits, a walk and a hit batter over five innings. \u2026 Right-hander Matt Waldron (hemorrhoid surgery) made his first appearance since Feb. 21, striking out two and allowing a run on two hits in two innings. Waldron threw 24 of his 33 pitches for strikes. Waldron is still likely to start the season on the injured list. \u2026 Left-hander Adri\u00e1n Morej\u00f3n allowed a run on three hits \u2014 including two infield singles, one of which was 110 mph ball of his backside \u2014 in the eighth inning. Morej\u00f3n remained in the game after a brief visit with the trainer. \u2026 Right-hander David Morgan allowed a run on two hits in the ninth inning.<\/p>\n
Extra bases: Castellanos, who is learning first base this spring, was the first Padre to play all nine innings in the field this spring. He tracked a hop to record the out on a long throw from Jake Cronenworth and in the seventh inning made a diving stop to his right to help Waldron out of the inning. \u2026 Left fielder Ram\u00f3n Laureano exited for precautionary reasons after he was hit in the back by an 89 mph changeup from Mu\u00f1oz in the seventh inning. \u2026 The Padres wore black hats with a green interlocking \u201cSD\u201d for St. Patrick\u2019s Day. A bagpiper also played in the morning meeting and on the backfields during morning work.<\/p>\n
On deck: The Padres are off for the second time this spring on Wednesday. Right-hander Michael King will start Thursday\u2019s 6:10 p.m. game against the Chicago White Sox in Peoria.<\/p>\n
